The songwriter will also be joined by Paramore for all eight of her dates at Wembley Stadium, four of which are set to take place in August.
The singer said she selected Mette, Griff and Boone to open for her in London because she ‘chose artists whose music I love listening to.’
Swift also shared a message on her Story, in which she wrote that she was excited that her track Fortnight, which was featured on her recently-released album The Tortured Poets Department, had made it to the top of the UK airplay chart.
The performer added that she could not ‘wait for them to add an extra jolt of excitement to our shows at @wembleystadium in June.’
Capital (Taylor’s Version) is available across the UK on DAB digital radio, and on Global Player, the official Capital app, on your smart speaker (“play Capital Taylor’s Version”), iOS or Android device.
