Over the years, Swift has selected performers like Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes to open up for her on tour. After touring with Swift, these artists have gone on to achieve major success in the industry, scoring hit after hit and selling out tours of their own. In celebration of Swift's opening night, let's take a look back at how the singer has helped her opening acts become superstars. Ed Sheeran : Sheeran opened for Swift during her Red tour in While the singer was known in the U. This move helped Sheeran earn recognition with the U.
