Taylor Swift is saying farewell to Sweden for now, but she’ll never forget her “magical” experience.

The 34-year-old pop superstar wrapped up her sold-out, three-date run of Eras Tour shows at Stockholm’s Friends Arena on May 19, where she also performed extra songs from her recently released The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD) album. Recapping the trio of concerts the next day, the “loml” singer penned a sweet message to fans for making her time in Sweden memorable.

 

“Stockholm!!!! Thank you for being the most generous, excitable, magical crowds, and for breaking the all time attendance record for the stadium all 3 nights,” Swift wrote on Instagram alongside dazzling photos from her shows.

 

She concluded her thank you note to Stockholm’s crowds by teasing a possible return, adding, “Can’t believe this was our first time playing in Sweden – but it won’t be our last… 🇸🇪 🥰.”

During her third and final Stockholm show, Swift gifted attendees a special treat by debuting her TTPD song “How Did It End?” live for the first time. It’s one of a few new tracks the 14-time Grammy winner has serenaded Swifties with since kicking off her European and U.K. Eras Tour run in Paris, France, earlier this month.

 

She also treated Stockholm audiences to surprise mashups like “I Think He Knows/Gorgeous” on May 17, “Say Don’t Go/Welcome to New York/Clean” on May 18, and “Message in a Bottle/How You Get the Girl/New Romantics” on May 19.

 

In the days before her Sweden concerts, Swift took a short break from the ongoing European leg of her tour to enjoy a trip with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, to Lake Como, Italy. The couple visited the celebrity vacation hotspot from May 13-17 for an intimate getaway that included late-night strolls through Italy together and kisses on a romantic rainy boat ride.

A source shared exclusive details of the Italian vacation with PEOPLE, saying the pair made the most of their “four relaxing days of rest.”

 

“On the first night, they went for a long walk around the lake late at night [between 11 and midnight],” the insider shared. “It was very romantic. At times they would walk hand in hand. They would also exchange a kiss every so often.”

Speaking on the power duo’s last day together, when they shared a meal at the restaurant Locanda La Tirlindana, the source also said, “They were very affectionate with each other, always close and hugging.”

Now that she’s back on the road performing, Swift is gearing up for her next set of shows taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, on May 24 and 25. After that, she’ll travel to Madrid, Spain, for another pair of concerts on May 29 and 30. The “Guilty as Sin?” singer’s final overseas dates are scheduled to conclude in late August before she heads to Canada this fall for the last stretch of her Eras Tour.
