Being chosen to support Taylor Swift at her Wembley concerts is the “hardest secret I’ve ever had to keep”, Holly Humberstone has said.
The singer-songwriter from Grantham will perform in London on 16 August, as part of Swift’s long-running Eras Tour at Holly Humberstone: Swift gig a hard secret to keep.
Posting on Instagram, Humberstone said she was “eternally grateful” to the US star.
Swift is due to perform for five nights in London. Other support acts will include Paramore, RAYE, Sofie Isella, Maisie Peters and Suki Waterhouse.
Humberstone, 24, wrote on social media: “As if I get to support Taylor at the Eras Tour! Pinch me! Thank you, thank you, thank you at Holly Humberstone: Swift gig a hard secret to keep.
“I am eternally grateful, what an honour. I have no words. See you soon Wembley.”
A former violinist for the Lincolnshire Youth Symphony Orchestra, Humberstone turned heads after performing on BBC Radio Lincolnshire in 2017.
She made her debut at the Glastonbury Festival in 2019 and won the Brit Awards’ Rising Star prize two years later at Holly Humberstone: Swift gig a hard secret to keep.
BBC presenter Dean Jackson, who has followed Humberstone’s career, said the Swift concert was the “next logical step” for the singer, who has supported the likes of Olivia Rodrigo and Lewis Capaldi.
Like other musicians, she’s a huge fan of Swifties. It must have been extremely difficult for Swift to remain silent about her engagement at Holly Humberstone, given that she will be performing in front of ninety thousand people.
He added: “She was 15 when she first uploaded her music to BBC Introducing and we loved what she did instantly. She’s just gone on from there.”
