Summary of request
You requested:
I am writing a piece for [ ] about Taylor Swift, her cultural impact, and our relationship with celebrities as fans. I would like to get some information about expenses paid by the council for her shows in London at Wembley Stadium in June and August.
Would you be able to provide a breakdown of spending for the event, including security, toilets, clean-up, signage.
Unsure if you will have this kind of information, but if you also happen to have any indication of how much business she brought to London in terms of that period in 2024 versus the same period in 2023, I would love to see how she boosted the economy specifically in London.
Our response:
I can confirm that the GLA does not hold this information within scope of your request.
The GLA is a public authority and does not hold information on private events such as Taylor Swift’s Eras shows at Wembley Stadium.
I have added links which are in the public domain as follows:

Cost of policing Taylor Swift August 2024 (london.gov.uk)
You can contact the London Borough of Brent for information about any expenses they may have paid for her shows at Wembley Stadium, I have attached the link below:
