Taylor Swift Taps Florence and Jack Antonoff as ‘Eras Tour’ Guests for London Show

Florence Welch joined Taylor Swift on stage during the latter’s last concert in London on Tuesday to deliver the first live performance of their collaborative song “Florida!!!” Fans in London were also treated to a surprise appearance from Jack Antonoff for “Death By a Thousand Cuts” and “Getaway Car.”

The live debut of “Florida!!!” comes just as Swift wraps the European leg of her massive “Eras Tour” before returning to the United States for another North American round of tour dates — starting with a kickoff date of Oct. 18 at the Hardrock Stadium in Miami. This show is the eighth date overall at the Wembley Stadium for Swift.

Swift co-wrote the song “Florida!!!,” which appears on Swift’s new chart-topping album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” After its release on April 19, the set has been the No. 1 album in the United States for a majority of this year. It spent the first 12 weeks atop the albums chart until Eminem’s “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” unseated “Tortured Poets” in late July.

In an interview with iHeartRadio, Swift said, “‘Florida!!’ song I wrote with Florence and the Machine, and I think I was coming up with this idea of like, what happens when your life doesn’t fit, or your choices you’ve made catch up to you,” Swift said.

Swift first revealed the news of “Tortured Poets,” her eleventh studio album — with features from Post Malone, as well as writing and production contributions from Antonoff and Aaron Dessner — at the Grammy Awards in January when her tenth studio album, “Midnights,” won album of the year.
