Suki Waterhouse Reflects on ‘Once in a Lifetime’ Experience of Opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

Suki Waterhouse‘s career came full circle Saturday (Aug. 17), when she opened for the Eras Tour in London after years of being a fan — and good friend — of Taylor Swift‘s.

And the next day, the Daisy Jones and the Six alum reflected on the surreal experience, sharing a backstage photo she snapped with the 14-time Grammy winner on Instagram. “The last time I was at Wembley I was dancing my a– off at the Reputation tour!” Waterhouse wrote. “Never did I think the next time I’d be here would be opening for my favourite artist with my friends and family in the crowd 🥹”

“Thank you @taylorswift for this once in a lifetime opportunity to perform in my beloved London and for the unwavering support in my own journey as an artist,” the English musician continued. “You are the world’s biggest and brightest star, I love you so much.”

Waterhouse also shared photos of her performing on the massive Wembley stage, plus a video of Swift talking to the crowd after the opener’s set. “I’ve been such a fan of her music for so long — she absolutely crushed it,” the “Anti-Hero” singer says, asking the tens of thousands of fans in the audience to “give it up” for her friend.

At the end of her carousel of pictures, Waterhouse added a throwback photo of her wearing a T-shirt printed with Swift’s 1989 album cover. “My nervous system will never be the same after last night,” she concluded. “Someone go tell this girl on the last slide she just opened for ERAS BABY!!! ❤️”

The “Good Looking” singer was one of five new artists added to the list of Wembley Eras Tour openers earlier this month, along with Sofia Isella and Holly Humberstone — who also performed over the weekend — as well as Maisie Peters and Raye, who will go on Aug. 19 and 20, respectively. Paramore has also been a mainstay on the European leg of Swift’s trek, taking the stage in between Waterhouse and the “Karma” artist Saturday.

“Did you guys see Suki earlier?” frontwoman Hayley Williams asked during the band’s set, before introducing their Twilight soundtrack hit “Decode” with a nod to Waterhouse’s partner, Robert Pattinson, who starred in the vampy franchise years before welcoming a baby with the model in March.

“I would like to dedicate this next song to Mr. Waterhouse,” she told the crowd. “This is the skin of a killer, Bella … This is for you, Robert.”
