Taylor Swift expresses gratitude to her “magical” fans in Sweden for breaking the all-time stadium attendance record

Taylor Swift visited Stockholm, conquered the Friends Arena, and set the stadium’s all-time attendance record, as revealed by the pop star in a recent social media post.

In the post, accompanied by four photos from her three Eras Tour performances at the venue on X, Swift expressed her gratitude to her Swedish Swifties for their enthusiastic support over the weekend. “Stockholm!!!!” she exclaimed. “Thank you for being the most generous, excitable, magical crowds, and for breaking the all-time attendance record for the stadium all 3 nights.”


“Can’t believe this was our first time playing in Sweden,” she added. “But it won’t be our last…”

In the photos, Swift showcases some of her newly added costumes for the Eras trek’s extended three-hour-plus runtime, which now includes songs from the 14-time Grammy winner’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. The singer debuted her reimagined show at Paris’ La Defense Arena earlier this month, reshaping past eras to accommodate TTPD songs such as “Fortnight,” “Down Bad,” “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” and more.

Swift didn’t specify the exact number of fans at each of her Stockholm shows, but she did acknowledge the attendance record while onstage on May 17. “They gave me this crazy news earlier today,” she shared with the crowd in disbelief during her opening Lover set, as captured in a fan video. “Not only is this beautiful sold-out crowd here to dance with us and sing with us tonight, but you have made this the most highly attended show ever in this stadium.”

The “Anti-Hero” singer will continue touring through Europe for the rest of the summer, with her next performances scheduled for May 24-25 in Portugal. In October, she will return to the U.S. and Canada for a second North American leg.
