Fans attending the Wembley Stadium Eras Tour on Friday June 21 will not only get to see Taylor Swift and Paramore perform, but also METTE. Hailing from Minnesota, if METTE looks familiar that’s because you might recognise her from her breakthrough role as the insanely good dancer in N.E.R.D. and Rihanna’s 2017 music video for Lemon, with her then going on to appear in Hustlers, Cats and more recently Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film as Barbie Video Girl.
A multi-talented queen, since then, METTE has opened Jessie Ware’s UK tour in 2023, with her now stepping up as a support act for Taylor’s June 21 date at Wembley.
Her biggest new songs at the moment are her 2024 singles BET and DARLING DRIVE, though be sure to keep an eye out for MAMA’S EYES (which she won an Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song) and DARLING DRIVE too.
Griff (June 22)
Joining Paramore, Taylor Swift’s support act for June 22 is none other than Griff, AKA Rising Star winner at the 2021 BRIT Awards.
Having toured with music heavyweights Coldplay, Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran, Griff has been booked and busy over the last few years and we’re here for it. Swift’s Eras Tour is a particularly special one for her though, with Griff taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, in May to say:
“TAYLOR SWIFT HAS INVITED ME ON THE ERAS TOUR!!!!!! 8 yr old me who had fearless on repeat wouldn’t believe this. So unbelievably grateful to Taylor for all the love she’s shown me and my music. See you at Wembley on June 22nd.”
Fusing elements of electro, soul, R&B and pop through her music, her 2024 song Miss Me Too is a certified hit, along with other bangers from her catalogue such as Black Hole, Walk and Taylor Swift approved Vertigo, with Swift saying “damn griff i love this one,” on an Instagram Story after its release.
Benson Boone (June 23)
American singer-songwriter Benson Boone will be supporting Taylor Swift for Wembley’s June 23 date. Raised in Washington, the 21-year-old singer came up via TikTok after going viral and later auditioning for American Idol.
Though he ultimately pulled out of the competition, Boone amassed a huge following on TikTok, with his followers on the platform currently at 7.1m and counting! The singer also signed to Night Street Records, Dan Reynolds’ of Imagine Dragons’ record label, with him having released a slew of incredibly catchy songs since, with some of his best known hits including Beautiful Things and In The Stars. Be sure to listen out for other songs from his Fireworks & Rollerblades album, with some of our personal favourites being Slow It Down and Ghost Town.
