On Saturday, Aug. 17, Suki Waterhouse kicked off her run as one of the opening acts for Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour at London's Wembley Stadium — and two of her Daisy Jones costars showed her some love after the major career milestone.
Waterhouse, 32, who played keyboardist Karen Sirko in the Prime Video series, posted a carousel of photos from her debut night on Instagram, thanking Swift, 34, for the "once in a lifetime opportunity to perform in my beloved London and for the unwavering support in my own journey as an artist."
"The last time I was at Wembley I was dancing my ass off at the Reputation tour! Never did I think the next time I’d be here would be opening for my favourite artist with my friends and family in the crowd ??," the "Supersad" singer added.

In the comments section, Sam Claflin and Josh Whitehouse praised their former costar, with Claflin writing, "so so proud ??, " while Whitehouse, who played bassist Eddie Roundtree, wrote, "Happy for you ??."
The Prime Video series, which premiered in March 2023, is a screen adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's bestselling 2019 novel of the same name. Along with Claflin, who played the band's leader, Billy Dunne, Daisy Jones & the Six also starred Riley Keough as the titular Daisy Jones, Will Harrison as lead guitarist Graham Dunne, Sebastian Chacon as drummer Warren Rojas and Camila Morrone as Billy's wife Camila.
The series told the story of Billy's band, The Six, as they took in Daisy Jones, who transformed their dynamic and skyrocketed them to new heights — all while posing a problem for Billy's marriage and addiction struggles.
The story was loosely inspired by Fleetwood Mac, and Claflin earned the ultimate stamp of approval from the legend herself as he shared that Stevie Nicks "reached out personally" to him after seeing the show.
The Hunger Games actor said at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards — where he was nominated for best performance by a male actor in a limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for the television — that Nicks reaching out was "like I've won already," as he told E! News, "I don't care about winning tonight. I feel like that recognition, to me, means the world."
"She sent me a bunch of flowers. I arrived to L.A. with this note. That to me is everything. So I feel very smug right now. Very, very blessed."
Fans loved the fictional band that came to life onscreen in the series so much that they had plans to perform live.
In a vlog from her 2023 Lollapalooza performance, Waterhouse revealed that she and the band were originally slated to play at the festival.
"That whole thing was planned, we got people visas, it was an operation. And then the SAG trike happened, so we all decided that we should not perform at Lollapalooza," she said, before confessing, "I am looking out my window today, just sad that they're not here."
The singer previously told PEOPLE that performing live was on the minds of the whole cast. "That's always been a dream for the whole cast," she said in December. "And we hope that someday it will become a reality."
