Having already shared the spotlight with the likes of Ed Sheeran, who joined Swift in London on August 15th for her triumphant return following the cancellation of Vienna shows due to security concerns, Maisie's excitement is palpable. At just 24 years old, she expressed her profound gratitude to Swift on social media, marveling, "I don't know how it gets better than this."

On August 5th, Maisie took to her platform to announce the thrilling news with a heartfelt message: "I don't know how it gets better than this. See you all at the Eras Tour on August 19th." This upcoming performance promises to be a shimmering moment in a journey that has already seen Maisie shine brightly alongside global superstars.

As the Eras Tour draws to a close in Canada on December 8th, 2024, after an astounding run of over 100 shows, Swift is projected to rake in an astonishing $2 billion (£1.549 billion) solely from ticket sales, a testament to her unparalleled global appeal and Maisie's upcoming performance a glittering footnote in this extraordinary odyssey.
