Taylor Swift proved she’s in her sexiest era yet as she took to the stage for her first Wembley stadium show on Thursday.
The Cruel Summer hitmaker, 34, is back in London for five more shows as her mammoth The Eras would tour finally reaches the finish line, some 15-months after it launched at State Park Stadium in Arizona.
Cheers exploded from the stadium as the star appeared to begin her three-hour show, complete with 13 sparkly outfit changes.
At one point during the concert, Taylor appeared to be naked underneath a white sheet as she lay on a bed on the big screen.
Elsewhere, she performed a racy rendition of hit Vigilante S**t – which sees her squat with her legs open before slowly descending onto a chair.
She wore a purple sequin bodysuit with tassels and matching knee-high boots during the racy routine.
The singer changes into a pink and blue sequin bodysuit and knee-high boots for her Lover Era set.
Other racy outfits included a black and red catsuit, with one side showing her toned legs, as well as shimmer black hot pants and a crop top.
The joyous return to the stage, where she opened with Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince, comes after a turbulent few weeks for the singer and her fan base.
Breaking her silence in an emotional speech after Cruel Summer, the star said: ‘The way that you have chosen to welcome us. There are 92,000 of you, out here, with your hands in the air – screaming the words.
‘Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. We love you so much London,’ she added. ‘I know how much planning and energy and effort it took to come to these shows I really appreciate that.’
Critics were blown away by the impressive three-hour show as she received several five star reviews.
MailOnline’s Rebecca Davidson said: ‘It’s an incredibly impressive show. Swift took possession of the stage with her outfit changes and confident dance routines. It is an unforgettable experience.’
The Telegraph’s Anita Singh wrote: ‘It’s worth every penny. Swift knows how to put on a brilliant show. Yes, there are pyrotechnics, outfit changes and dancers, but you barely notice them, she holds the centre with such power and poise.’
Later on in the show, Swift came out dressed for her Red Era wearing a t-shirt that said ‘a lot going on at the moment’. Her t-shirt references are often picked up by fans.
During her hit song 22, Swift gave her black hat away to a young blonde girl wearing a light blue jumper who was singing along to the lyrics. The two embraced for a few seconds before Swift gave her the hat.
Fans went wild as Ed Sheeran made a surprise appearance on stage with the American popstar.
During her surprise song set, which Swift changes each gig, the singer-songwriters’ performed their song Everything has Changed from the 2012 album Red, followed by End Game from Reputation.
The duo then sang an emotional acoustic rendition of Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud while bright green lights shone out from the stadium.
Before he left the stage, Swift showered him with compliments and while hugging him described him as a ‘second brother’.
She said: ‘Now he is someone that plays Wembley like every week. This is regular for him and he works so hard. He’s probably so tired but he wanted to come play for you and do this for all of you.’
Fans were left furious during the opening moments of the singer’s Wembley show, after being trapped outside the stadium as she kicked off her concert on Thursday.
MailOnline can reveal that some missed the first few songs – from the Lover era – as they were waiting to get their wrist bands.
Swifties were left angered as they were refused entry to the stadium due to a maintenance issue after security ran out of wristbands.
Fans were pleading to be let in quicker so that they didn’t miss the start of the show, where the star sang Cruel Summer, The Man and Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince first.
A concert goer said: ‘It was chaos they wouldn’t let anyone in without a wristband. They would bring some up but run out and you had to wait ages each time before they got more.’
Ticketmaster also faced the wrath of furious fans after an apparent technical glitch prevented them from buying tickets, resulting in hundreds of empty seats.
It comes after Swifties in London have insisted they feel ‘safe’ with a ring of steel being erected around the stadium with hundreds of security staff wearing yellow-jackets on guard.
The Met Police have also reassured the public that they are ‘well prepared’ for the five gigs taking place over the next week, with additional ticket checks taking place.
The force has also put a stop to fans congregating outside the stadium to hear her music – often referred to as ‘tay-gating’ – telling those who do not have a ticket will be turned away from the area.
Swift’s Eras Tour will end in Vancouver, Canada, on December 8.
The 152-date concert series, in which Swift runs through hits from her 17-year career, is expected to surpass $2 billion by the end of its run, with the staggering per night receipts revealed by Variety last month.
