Taylor Swift ‘can’t contain excitement’ as she announces support act for UK Eras tour - and fans 'can't cope'

Taylor Swift has sent the internet into a frenzy as the singer has revealed who she will be taking on tour with her during her UK and European leg next Summer. Not only that, the ‘Shake It Off’ singer has also added an additional 14 gigs to her 2024 tour due to high demand.

Taking to Twitter, the singer said she “can’t contain” her excitement as she announced Paramore will be joining her on stage as part of her Eras Tour. The “Anti Hero” singer says she has been friends with the American rock band’s lead singer Hayley Williams since they “were teens in Nashville.”

“Now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???” Swift added.

Taylor recently revealed the track list for her re-recorded album ‘Speak Now (Taylor's Version),’ which listed an unheard song “from the vault” called ‘Castles Crumbling’, which will feature Hayley Williams. The re-release of Swift’s 2010 album of the same name will be available on Friday (July 7).

Within moments of the popstar announcing Paramore as her support act, fans said they “can’t cope” with the news which only made the more desperate to get their hands on the much sought after tickets.

@The_BabySeagull said: “NO BECAUSE I HAVEN’T RECEIVED AN EMAIL BUT PARAMORE IS SUPPORTING TAYLOR?! IF I DON'T GET TICKETS FEAR FOR MY MENTAL STATE.”
