“Taylor has invited me on The Eras Tour to open for her at Wembley Stadium. August 15.
Someone I’ve never met has changed my life even more than she already has just through her writing alone. Your fearlessness in continuing to push yourself and win again and again is the most joyful thing to watch, Taylor. Thank you. Holy s—. @taylorswift #TSTheErasTour #LondonTSTheErasTour,” Isella captioned the post alongside the Eras Tour poster.
