Thousands of fans have already flocked to Wembley as excitement builds ahead of Taylor Swift’s second gig at the national stadium – after Thursday night’s show was hailed as a classic.

The pop superstar performed another action-packed show to 92,000 adoring fans in the capital as part of the final European leg of her Era’s World Tour.

Swift’s performance in London was said to be ‘the hardest concert of her career’, being her first in the UK since the Southport stabbings – where three little girls were killed whilst at a Swift-themed dance class on the Merseyside.

While she did not mention the stabbing explicitly, the three innocent victims are said to have been in Swift’s thoughts and she made a triumphant return to the stage – bringing out her long-term pal and co-collaborator Ed Sheeran to the joy of those in attendance.

And the American artist is now preparing to do it all again tonight, as long lines of Swifties have already been spotted forming around the stadium for a night of singing and dancing.

Jack Proverbs was in the crowd after an ‘incredible’ night watching the US pop superstar.

But the 23-year-old said he had a long wait ahead of him as the moment he stepped outside of Wembley Stadium, he joined crowds of thousands waiting for transport home.

It took around an hour and a half for him and his friends to get back to central London. Departing the stadium at around 10:15pm, they didn’t make it back to their Airbnb until midnight.

‘The worst part was getting from Wembley to the Tube stop. Once we were inside there it wasn’t too bad,’ Jack from Nottinghamshire, said.

‘We had to rush through the side of the queue and get over to the right. Luckily there was a traffic style system where guards held up ‘Go’ and ‘Stop’ signs.

‘For the people right at the back it likely would’ve taken them two if not three hours to go through to the front!’

Jack feels that it would be useful for more Tubes to run on nights where there are big events taking place in the city.

He said: ‘Having so many cramped on minimal Tubes is extremely unsafe, especially when it comes to disabled passengers of which must’ve found it extremely difficult to get through to the Tube station.’

Fans started queuing this afternoon outside the stadium ahead of the much-anticipated Friday show

The London police force reassured the public that they are ‘well prepared’ for the gigs taking place over the next week, with additional ticket checks taking place
Despite the long journey back to his accommodation, Jack had the most incredible night.

He added: ‘I fully recommend anyone to go and see the Eras tour if possible as it’s a once in a lifetime experience.’

After performing at Wembley across three nights in June, Taylor Swift kicked off the second leg of her London shows last night.

She is set to perform again tonight (16 August) and on the 17 and 19 August, before her final night on 20 August.

Swift reportedly reached out to the families of the Southport stabbing before she took to the stage at Wembley Stadium tonight.

Bebe King, six, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, died after the incident on July 29, while 10 others were also injured. Axel Rudakubana, 17, was charged with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder.

The three innocent victims are said to have been in Swift’s thoughts, who is said to have been ‘shaken to the core’ by the incident.

‘Taylor may not have spoken about Elsie Dot, Alice and Bebe on stage but she has reached out to their families,’ an insider said tonight. ‘It is something that has weighed heavily on her mind.’

In the aftermath of the tragedy, Swift said she was at ‘a complete loss’ over the devastating attack. Hi
