Taylor Swift hails Maisie Peters ‘the most amazing opening act possible’ as she takes to the stage at Wembley

Taylor Swift hailed Maisie Peters ‘the most amazing opening act possible’ during night four of her Wembley run.

The songstress, 34, praised Maisie, 24, as she took to the stage in London on Monday in front of 92,000 adoring fans.

Admitting that she was a ‘big fan,’ Taylor applauded the English singer’s writing skills and said she ‘crushed it.’

While Paramore will perform every night, RayeSuki Waterhouse, Holly Humberstone, Sofia Isella and Maisie will play one night each.

Halting a song to speak to the audience, Taylor said: ‘The plan is that we going to have a great night. But you guys have already had a great night as you got to be absolutely dazzled by the most amazing opening act possible.’

She continued: ‘It’s someone who I am such a big fan of, she is amazing, she is absolutely incredible, crushed it on this stage, love her songwriting so much!

‘I am of course talking about the amazing Maisie Peters!’

Maisie shared her excitement to be opening for the superstar on her Instagram, sharing photos from her soundcheck.

Last year, she became the youngest female British artist in nine years to score a number one album at the age of 23, according to the Official Charts Company.

The musician’s record, The Good Witch, follows her 2021 debut release You Signed Up For This, which peaked at number two in the charts.

Maisie made her debut at Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage in 2023 and her performance coincided with the release of her new album.

She is signed to Ed Sheeran’s label, Gingerbread Man Records.

Elsewhere, Swifties had been left convinced that Post Malone would take to the stage with the hitmaker in the capital, after noticing a key detail on the poster for the shows.

The billionaire songstress is in the middle of the second leg of her Eras Tour with five shows at the London stadium, following her string of sell out dates there in June.

However, as Taylor took to the stage to perform Fortnight, from her newest album The Tortured Poets Department, Malone was noticeably absent.

Eagle-eyed fans had been led to believe the rapper would join her on stage after noticing symbols next to each concert date on promotion for the show.

The poster featured a typewriter – a symbol which appeared heavily in their music video together – next to Friday’s gig.

Fans were left even more convinced of their theory after Taylor shared a snap of her and Malone, real name Austin Richard Post, to her Instagram Stories shortly before showtime.

In a gushing tribute she wrote: ‘Was lucky enough to hear this amazing music on set of the ‘Fortnight’ video when Austin played it for me.

‘It’s incredible how versatile his artistry is. And just the most down to earth guy alive’.

On the poster, her first concert date included a heart, which fans believed was hinting the surprise appearance of her beloved pal Ed Sheeran, 33, who sent the crowd wild when he walked out on stage.  

Thursday’s the featured star, which Swifties have concluded was in reference to the debut of her new Midnight bodysuit.

Looking ahead they concluded Monday, which had a top hat symbol, would see Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelcee, 34, return to the Wembley.

Last month the American Footballer, dressed in a top hat and tails, took to the arena stage during one segment as he helped his girlfriend with a costume change.

Then the final gig includes a camera, which was interpreted as the announcement of a behind the scenes documentary of the tour.

After one fan posted the theory on X, other raced to the comments convinced they’d cracked the code, writing: ‘Also the fact that when Travis was on stage [Taylor] said it was his “debut” which leaves me thinking it was definitely NOT his last time on stage’: ‘ Okay you’re onto something’: THESE ARE WHAT I WAS THINKING EARLIER TOO!!!!‘: ‘Definitely Post Malone! Taylor’s private jet flew yesterday from Nashville to London…and Post was in Nashville all week!’

However others were quick to pour cold water on the idea, pointing out it was likely in reference to her support acts and the fact that Post was busy promoting his new album in Nashville while Travis was training with his team the Kansas Chiefs.
