Taylor Swift<\/strong> still has a few more cities to perform in before she starts her eight-show run at London’s Wembley Stadium in June, but she’s now announced additional opening acts for those dates.<\/p>\n

On her Instagram Story on May 27, Taylor wrote<\/a>, “I just found out ‘Fortnight’ is #1 on the U.K. airplay chart!!! You guys are amazing and I can’t wait to see you SO soon!! Thought this might be a fun time to announce the first group of opening acts I’ll be adding to the London shows going on before Paramore<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

She added, “I chose artists whose music I love listening to, and I can’t wait for them to add an extra excitement to your shows at Wembley Stadium in June.” The three lucky artists are Benson Boone<\/strong>, U.K. singer Griff<\/strong> and U.S. singer\/actress METTE<\/strong>, who will open on June 23, June 22 and June 21, respectively.<\/p>\n

On his Instagram Story, Benson reposted<\/a> Taylor’s news and wrote, “@taylorswift so excited to be part of the show thank you for having me.” Benson is currently on the European leg of his own sold-out world tour.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Taylor played her first-ever Portuguese concerts on May 24 and 25. She posted a special thank-you on Instagram, writing<\/a>, “It\u2019s official, I left my [heart] in Lisbon. My first time in Portugal and you all made me feel like I was right at home.”<\/p>\n

She told the audience, “We absolutely should have come to Portugal on every single tour. This is not a mistake I will ever be making again. We are always going to come to Lisbon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the two Lisbon shows, Taylor’s surprise song sets included the live debuts of “Fresh Out the Slammer” and “The Tortured Poets Department.”<\/p>\n
