i went - it was absolutely INCREDIBLE! taylor was just amazing, i adore her anyway so i knew i was going to enjoy it, but she totally exceeded my expectations! best concert i've been to, definitely. loved it when the crowd cheered for about ten minutes straight and she said "london, i'll never forget what you guys have just done for me", or something (). she looked so appreciative.

Can't say anything bad about this girl. And, recent report has just proven how nice she is.

When her opening act Justin Bieber fractured his foot on stage tonight, she made sure she check on him before he went to the hospital.

Have to agree with all the comment she was indeed incredible. What a performer for a 19 year old girl to put on such a show and command/feed off of the crowd said alot. Has to be one of the best gigs I have been at!

For Terry who asked for the setlist:

You Belong With Me
Our Song
Tell Me Why
Teardrops On My Guitar
Fearless
Forever & Always
Hey Stephen
Fifteen
Tim McGraw
White Horse
Love Story
The Way I Loved You
You're Not Sorry
Picture To Burn
Should've Said No

Pretty great setlist, the only problem I had was she didn't perform 'Change' in the encore but other than that it was pretty much perfect. She also came on at around 8:40 which nearly caught me out so anyone going to MEN just be wary of that

She's certainly come a long way since I saw her first gig over here in a four hundred capacity club last year! Sorry but Justin Bieber just wasn't my thing,thought he was shite and totally irrelevant,they should have done the full US production and bought Kellie Pickler over instead. That's just my opinion though,anyone going tonight be prepared for an absolutely amazing two hours,you won't be disappointed.

I was in the third row right in the middle, best view in the house as far as I'm concerned. Had such a great time. She's adorable, great singer, pretty, just all kinds of lovely. Deserves all the success she's getting.

She also didn't sing "Im only me when im with you". I really wanted her to sing "change" because its my favourite but oh well!

What do you think was her best song that she sang?

Everyone going tonight your going to have an AMAZING time!

Love Story was so good with the costume change and the way it was sung. Either that or Our Song... Or You Belong With Me... Or any of them!

View from my seat. Can't believe it only cost £35. So happy still!

Almost touch her!

Agreed RE the ending, by the way. With the drums and then her singing in the rain I got all emotional, ha. An incredible talent.

I honestly couldn't fault anything from last night. Taylor, her band and all of the crew put on a great show from beginning to end. Some great touches with the videos (especially Picture To Burn guy with the subtitles and all of the victims of Taylor Swift songs) and working the crowd volume for the encore.

I have to say that the energy from the crowd played a huge part in things as well. You just had to look around to see how much people were loving it. I can't honestly say I have been to many gigs with a mainly teen audience but the atmosphere was infectious and you couldn't help but have a good time.

PhilH36 it would have been great to have Kellie Pickler (or even better Gloriana) rather than Justin but in the scheme of things he fit even better with the majority of the crowd. I am not sure what the crowd would have made of KP. JB isn't really my type of music but he did his thing and lit the crowd up well before his unfortunate accident.

What the future will bring for Taylor is anyone's guess but at the moment she totally deserves this.

I was thinking that.

I didn't get to the show though I had tickets. I sold them when I knew I wasn't going to be able to make it.

markmc2k5 Thank you.

Went to the MEN show tonight and oh my word it was fantastic. Taylor seemed overwhelmed by the fans supporting her, at one point she had tears in her eyes.

From start to finish it was an amazing show, the production was great. I was surprised myself at how many people knew the songs from her first album, especially Our Song in which Taylor held the microphone to the audience and let us sing. I loved the ending with the rain, it was fantastic. I hope she returns next year.

I'm confused. I thought Taylor Swift is a fairly new star in the UK and has only had a couple of hits, so how can she already be playing at massive venues like Wembley Arena?! I wouldn't have thought she was a big enough star yet in this country, but clearly that's not the case! Usually it's only the huge, long established stars who've had massive, long term success who are able to play such big venues, not someone who was virtually unknown here until recently. Doesn't it usually take an artist a good many years to accumulate a big enough fan base and back catalogue of hits before they can play such huge venues? I think she's only really had 1 big hit in this country, hasn't she? Clearly she's a much bigger star here than I released, lol! Even a long established artist like Kylie can only play small 2,000 capacity venues in the US, and she's been around over 20 years! She may not have been that successful in the US and has only had a few hits there but still more than Taylor Swift over here, surely?!

Anyway, quite an achievement, playing Wembley Arena already, so good on her. Have only heard a couple of songs by her and she sounds pretty good.

Took my girls (6 & 8) to the M.E.N. concert last night and they absolutely loved it. Ms Swift really was superb as were the whole band. Shame about the traffic nightmare on the way out, which wasnt fun at all.
All credit to that young lad who was the support act for not canceling after breaking his foot. Not my scene at all, but the kids seemed to like him.

I think Kellie would have gone down ok,but Taylor has clearly been aimed at the pop market,how many people at the two shows would describe her as a country artist? Point being that there is more chance of radio airplay and European success by promoting acts such as Taylor,Kellie,Miranda Lambert,Carrie Underwood,Shania et al as pop (or 'country-pop' if you like),rather than country. Having said that Faith Hill never really seemed to take off over here. I appreciate and realise that any genre of music will change and evolve over the years but what comes out of Nashville and gets played on country radio these days is a world removed from acts such as Alabama,Clint Black,Patty Loveless,Kathy Mattea etc who were among the big country acts fifteen years ago.

I'm confused. I thought Taylor Swift is a fairly new star in the UK and has only had a couple of hits, so how can she already be playing at massive venues like Wembley Arena?! I wouldn't have thought she was a big enough star yet in this country, but clearly that's not the case!

Anyway, quite an achievement, playing Wembley Arena already, so good on her. Have only heard a couple of songs by her and she sounds pretty good.
The internet can have a big influence. It is so easy these days for people to go online and find information about an artist and hear samples of their music,rather than the days where acts could spend years playing the club circuit and gradually build up a following through word of mouth. Put it this way,Taylor's first gig in this country was at the Kings College Students Union bar in London in September last year,capacity around five hundred-yes I was there-so she's gone from there to Shepherds Bush in May to Wembley and MEN in just over a year. Outside of the country circles,how many people would have heard of Toby Keith or Sugarland,yet they were able to play Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush respectively on their first UK shows.

BTW,what did they do for support at Manchester,I assume Justin wasn't performing after his accident on Monday?
