A rising music star says she “doesn’t know how it gets better than this” as she prepares to open for Taylor Swift at The Eras Tour at Wembley.

Maisie Peters began her singing career busking on the streets of Brighton but will now play to thousands of people at the most popular concert in the world tonight.

The singer, from Steyning, will open for Taylor Swift alongside Paramore and a host of other supporting acts.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Maisie celebrated the news by reposting a video of her in 2018 singing a cover of Taylor Swift’s song Tim McGraw.

She added: “I don’t know how it gets better than this.”

It comes after Maisie initially dispelled rumours that she would be opening for Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour, which is playing its seventh London date tonight.

Maisie previously supported Ed Sheeran on his worldwide tour and is also currently backing up American folk-pop singer Noah Kahan on the UK dates of his tour.

Maisie shot to fame with her album The Good Witch hitting Number 1 in the UK Album charts in June 2023.

The accolade made her the younger female artist from the UK to secure a number one album in nearly a decade.

She also played the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury in 2023.

Taylor Swift is currently playing sold-out shows for The Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium having previously played a string of concerts in June.

Her final Wembley show takes place tomorrow, August 20.
