JAKARTA - Taylor Swift with her Eras Tour has set a new record with eight shows held by a solo artist at Wembley Stadium, London, England.

The 'Blank Space' singer surpassed the previous record held by King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

"You just made me the first solo artist to have played at Wembley eight times on a tour," Taylor Swift told viewers at the final show at Wembley on August 20, citing the BBC.

"We will never be able to thank you enough for that."

Eras Tour was held at Wembley Stadium in two rounds. Taylor Swift appeared three consecutive days in the first round on June 21-23.

Then, the 34-year-old singer-writer returned for five shows, namely on 15, 16, 17, 19, and 20 August.

Meanwhile, Michael Jackson, through the Bad Tour series in 1987-1989, appeared seven times in two rounds at Wembley Stadium.

In the first half, Jackson appeared on 14, 15, 16, 22, and July 23, 1988. Then the 'Smooth Criminal' singer appeared in two more shows, namely on August 26 and 27, 1988.

With these records, Swift equaled the record for the Take That music group which held eight shows at Wembley Stadium for the Progress Live tour concert in 2011.

At that time, Take That's full members consisting of Gary totaling Robbie Williams, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, and Jason Orange appeared on June 30, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and July 9, 2011.
