‘Once In A Lifetime Opportunity’: Suki Waterhouse Grateful To Taylor Swift For The Eras Tour Opening Performance
It’s a different kind of feeling to witness one strong and beautiful woman uplift another, especially in the world of social media, where differences of opinion and conflict are common.

A day after the event, Waterhouse shared a gratitude-filled Instagram post including a backstage snap of her and Swift, as well as some snippets from the previous evening.
“She’s someone I get to call a friend,” Swift told the crowd in the footage. “I’ve been such a fan of her music for so long. She absolutely crushed it here tonight, and this was her hometown show.”
“Give it up for Suki Waterhouse!” she added as the crowd cheered for her.

Waterhouse wrote, “Never did I think the next time I’d be here would be opening for my favorite artist with my friends and family in the crowd. Thank you @taylorswift for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform in my beloved London and for the unwavering support in my own journey as an artist.”
