Taylor Swift takes over Edinburgh as map shows customized ‘tasting trail’ with themed food and drinks in honor of the singer – ahead of her first UK dates of the Eras Tour

Scottish Swifties can indulge in a series of themed cocktails, brunches, events – and even customised piercings – in honour of their favourite artist, as she kicks off her weekend of concerts in Edinburgh.

The capital is set to be inundated with fans making their way for performances of the star’s record-breaking Eras Tour at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Local businesses have devised a ‘Taylored Tasting trail’ inviting fans to immerse themselves in the experience. The Eras Tour UK & Ireland fan account on X shared a map, created by Forever Edinburgh, showing a handy guide of the various activities available across the city.

‘Running over the weekend of Taylor’s Edinburgh concerts, local leisure and hospitality businesses will be showcasing Taylor Swift-inspired cocktails, mocktails, afternoon teas, ice creams, desserts, and cupcakes inspired by her iconic songs,’ the event’s website reads. ‘Indulge your taste buds with Blank Space chocolate delights, Shake It Off confetti creations, Enchanted tea blends and more!’

Photos from the city have shown shop windows dolled up with sparkles, glitter, and tinsel – reminiscent of Taylor’s colourful glitzy tour looks – and friendship bracelet imagery, which has been a key feature of her shows. One clothing shop, Pie in the Sky, even featured a mannequin holding a guitar, in an X snap shared by American fan @mizticlady and reposted by the Eras tour fan account.

Bars, pubs, and restaurants have also offered up ‘Taylor’s Version’ menus. Le Petit Beefbar Cocktail has assigned the singer’s songs to existing items on sale, and shared the selection in a fun Instagram reel on their social media. It featured polaroid snaps of the cocktails, in an homage to Taylor’s original 1989 album cover.

Elsewhere, piercing shop Laura Bond is offering Taylor themed piercings and, according to its website, a ‘glitter bar’ and ‘luxury friendship bracelets’ will be available. An Instagram video showed excited staff setting up glamorous decor ahead of the exciting weekend.
