As Taylor Swift’s London dates come to an end for her Eras tour, fans who have seen her live have had the time of their lives. Any Swiftie who’s attended one of her concerts will gush about the surprise songs, trading friendship bracelets in the crowd and cheering until they lost their voices at the end of Champagne Problems.

But, in addition to seeing their favourite star live, Swift also ensured fans were in for a treat when choosing her support acts. From giving smaller artists huge exposure to declaring we’re in the “summer of Sabrina” after Sabrina Carpenter opened for some of her international shows, research by ticket platform viagogo found that opening for Swift had a massive impact on the acts who took part in her tour. Ticket sales for Paramore grew 31% year-on year in 2023 as they supported Swift’s tour while Carpenter’s page views on the ticket platform grew by 16,000% after she opened for the star.

Intrigued by who else has opened the Eras tour? Stylist has put together a list.
