Swift’s arrival in the city was also honored by the London Zoo, which shared three old images from Swift’s 2012 visit to the zoo on Instagram.

The caption read, “A different Era at London Zoo,” according to the London Zoo. “She came to see us in 2012, and she’s back in London for the largest tour ever,”

Before bringing Swift back personally, the zoo announced that fans of her “Eras Tour” will receive a 25% discount on a walk-up day ticket to the zoo from June 21–30.

The zoo stated, “We’re ready for your next visit whenever you’d like to make it to @taylorswift & @taylornation.”

Swift, 34, once spent two days in a row in the Sydney Zoo while she was in the country’s biggest city for her “Eras Tour.” One day, while out on the town with her boyfriend Travis Kelce, she mentioned seeing her opening act, Sabrina Carpenter, during a duet.

Based on a video from the show, Swift said, “We’ve been 100% of our days off,” as she sat next to Carpenter. “Red pandas are really all that interest me. Because you guys have so many kangaroos, I don’t think you realize how awesome they are. They’re really strong and awesome. Very lively.

In June and August, Swift has eight performances booked at London’s Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate 90,000 people. Her most recent tour concluded visits in Cardiff, Liverpool, and Edinburgh, among other cities in the United Kingdom.

The singer announced the tour’s December conclusion during her 100th “Eras Tour” performance in Liverpool.

“This tour will end in December, and I’ve never acknowledged that to myself before,” the woman remarked.
