Outside, fans gathered early to trade bracelets, get excited and take a picture with the 'Swiftie Steps' - a colourful set of stairs painted with the pop superstar's face.
The Eras Tour has seen Taylor perform to almost 1.2 million fans in the UK, and last night's show was the 131st date of the tour worldwide. Speaking at the gig, she said: "I've never had it this good before. I've never had a crowd that's so generous."
Taylor has been bringing out some famous faces during her London shows, and the final night was no different. Singer Florence Welch, from the band Florence and the Machine, came to the stage for Florida!!!, a song from Taylor's most recent album.
Another artist to appear was Jack Antonoff. He's the frontman of the band Bleachers and has produced many of Taylor's songs from the 1989 album to The Tortured Poets Department. They played two "surprise" songs - a key part of the show featuring songs that aren't usually on the setlist - Death By A Thousand Cuts and Getaway Car.
The biggest name to appear over her five night run was Taylor's close friend and collaborator Ed Sheeran. He joined her on stage on Thursday night, playing duets of both of their songs - Endgame and Thinking Out Loud.
Fans loved hearing the first-ever live performance of So Long, London as part of the show's acoustic section. Bringing the show to a close, Taylor played a brand new music video showing behind the scenes footage from the Eras Tour.
