Taylor Swift headlining BST Hyde Park

Taylor Swift will be uniting her Lovers in London this summer as the popstar has been announced as the latest British Summertime Hyde Park headliner.

The You Need To Calm Down singer will be gracing the main stage at Hyde Park on Saturday 11 July, joining the previously announced Little Mix and Pearl Jam on the line-up.

It comes hours after BST dropped a teaser on the social media accounts with Taylor’s Lover theme and the words: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand,’ prompting fans to guess she was the headliner.

Not much gets past those Swifties.


It’ll be Taylor’s second appearance at BST Hyde Park, as she previously headlined in 2015 and memorably brought out Karlie Kloss, Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Gigi Hadid, Martha Hunt and Serena Williams during Style.



T-Swizz also soared over the BST crowd on a rotating bridge so, with her Lover theme being an image of pink fluffy clouds, we’re guessing the sky’s the limit this time round.

It couldn’t be a more fitting location for Taylor, as her latest album features the track London Boy, about her ideal day in the big city.

So when she’s not performing on the BST stage, you might find Taylor walking around Camden Market, zooming around on her scooter or enjoying a wild night out in Brixton.

Lover was released in August and, of course, reached number one around the world including the UK charts and US Billboard 200.

Fans are now anticipating how the popstar’s set will sound considering she’s planning on re-recording her entire back catalogue after Big Machine Records bought the masters to her former hits, sparking a nasty public row between the two.

It could also be a rare chance to see Taylor, 29, perform live next year as she recently said she wouldn’t be launching a full Lover tour due to family reasons.

‘Change happens not only in my career but in my life,’ Taylor told Beats 1 radio host Zane Lowe.

‘And I’ve got some pretty intense things happening with my family right now. I can’t go on long tours and not have the ability to go home if I need to. I have priorities that aren’t just touring now, and [the fans] have been really respectful of that in the past.’

Tickets for BST Hyde Park go on-sale Friday 6 December at 9am.
