Swift also shared a message on her Story, in which she wrote that she was excited that her track Fortnight, which was featured on her recently-released album The Tortured Poets Department, had made it to the top of the UK airplay chart.

The performer added that she could not ‘wait for them to add an extra jolt of excitement to our shows at @wembleystadium in June.’
