Raye announced the news on her Instagram, writing, “Thank you @taylorswift for this opportunity.”
Meanwhile, Peters posted, “I can’t believe I’m writing this… SEE YOU AT THE ERAS TOUR ON AUGUST 19TH
“Supporting Taylor Swift has been my dream since I was 12 years old and watched the Love Story music video for the first time. It is such an honour to be part of something so special and iconic and I already know I’m gonna have the time of my life. Thank u Dr @taylorswift. SCREAM!!!!!”
Humberstone described the news as “the hardest secret I’ve ever had to keep”, adding: “As if I get to support Taylor Swift at The Eras Tour!!!! pinch me!! Taylor thank you thank you thank you I am eternally grateful and what an honour. I have no words and I can’t fuckin wait for the 16th! See you at Wembley!”
Raye recently released the seven-minute single Genesis. She announced the single on her Instagram posting, “It kind of hurts a bit to call this piece of music a ‘single’ because it is so much more than just a song to me. This song is a 7 minute labour of love I have been working on since 2022, I have chipped away at, scrutinised, replaced, redone, passionately sculpted this song to become what you will hear in 7 days.”
She continued: “There is a Nina Simone quote which is everything to me, ‘it is an artists duty to reflect the times’ and the best way I believe I can try to do this is through my art, and I have tried my utmost to do so inside this song. Inside my dear ‘Genesis’.”
