Taylor Swift returned to London on Thursday for the first of five shows in her Eras Tour.
The superstar will be playing songs from each of her 10 albums, each marking a different ‘era’ in her career, for a show that is expected to last almost three-and-a-half hours.
She is expected to perform more than 45 songs and undergo about 15 costume changes.
