"Can't believe this was our first time playing in Sweden - but it won't be our last…" the pop star shared in an Instagram recap of her three sold-out Stockholm concerts
Taylor Swift is bidding farewell to Sweden for now, but she’ll never forget her “magical” experience.
The 34-year-old musical sensation closed up her sold-out, three-date series of Eras Tour shows at Stockholm’s Friends Arena on May 19, where she also performed additional songs from her recently released The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD) album. Recapping the trifecta of concerts the next day, the “loml” singer penned a tender message to admirers for making her time in Sweden memorable.
“Stockholm!!!! Thank you for being the most generous, exuberant, enchanting audiences, and for smashing the all time attendance record for the stadium all 3 nights,” Swift wrote on Instagram alongside dazzling photos from her shows.
She concluded her thank you note to Stockholm’s audiences by suggesting a possible return, adding, “Can’t believe this was our first time playing in Sweden - but it won’t be our last.”
During her third and final Stockholm performance, Swift gifted attendees a special treat by unveiling her TTPD song “How Did It End?” live for the first time. It’s one of a few new tracks the 14-time Grammy winner has serenaded Swifties with since launching off her European and U.K. Eras Tour performance in Paris, France, earlier this month.
She also treated Stockholm audiences to surprise mashups like “I Think He Knows/Gorgeous” on May 17, “Say Don't Go/Welcome to New York/Clean” on May 18, and “Message in a Bottle/How You Get the Girl/New Romantics” on May 19.
In the days before her Sweden concerts, Swift took a brief vacation from the ongoing European segment of her tour to enjoy a journey with her beau, Travis Kelce, to Lake Como, Italy. The couple visited the celebrity vacation destination from May 13-17 for an intimate escape that included late-night strolls through Italy together and embraces on a romantic drizzly boat journey.
A source revealed exclusive details of the Italian vacation with PEOPLE, saying the couple made the most of their “four relaxing days of rest.”

“On the first night, they went for a long walk around the lake late at night [between 11 and midnight],” the insider shared. “It was very romantic. At times they would walk hand in hand. They would also exchange a kiss every so often.”
Speaking on the power duo’s last day together, when they shared a meal at the restaurant Locanda La Tirlindana, the source also said, “They were very affectionate with each other, always close and hugging.”
Now that she’s back on the road performing, Swift is gearing up for her next set of performances taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, on May 24 and 25. After that, she’ll travel to Madrid, Spain, for another pair of concerts on May 29 and 30. The “Guilty as Sin?” singer’s final overseas dates are scheduled to conclude in late August before she heads to Canada this autumn for the last portion of her Eras Tour.
