Taylor Swift sings new song in London for the first time

Taylor Swift wowed her fans in London as she delivered the live debut of her emotional ballad, “The Black Dog,” during the first night of her Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium. This surprise performance on June 21 left the audience in awe as Swift belted out the heartfelt lyrics for the first time ever in a live setting.

In a fan-captured clip, Swift can be heard telling the crowd, “I’ve never played this one live before,” setting the stage for a truly special moment for her devoted fans in attendance at the iconic venue.

Speculations have arisen regarding the inspiration behind “The Black Dog,” with some suggesting it could be about the 1975 frontman, Matty Healy. Swift was rumored to have a brief romance with Healy in 2023, and the song’s lyrics, which mention the pop-punk band The Starting Line, have fueled these speculations.

As Swift sings about missing someone in the presence of The Starting Line’s music, the raw emotions in the song are palpable. From hurt to anger, the lyrics delve deep into the complexities of relationships and emotions, showcasing Swift’s songwriting prowess and emotional depth.

In addition to her stellar performance, Swift also took the time to snap some backstage selfies with Prince William, who was celebrating his 42nd birthday. The Instagram post, featuring the prince’s children and Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, added a touch of royalty to the already star-studded event.

The Eras Tour is a highly anticipated event with three shows scheduled at Wembley Stadium from June 21-23. With Paramore as the special guest for all three shows and talented artists like METTE, Griff, and Benson Boone opening each night, fans are in for a treat throughout this musical extravaganza.
