A man, who was arrested at Taylor Swift’s sell-out Eras Tour show in Edinburgh, has been charged with ‘voyeurism’.
The 64-year-old was arrested at one of last weekend’s concerts, which were held at the Murrayfield Stadium. Police Scotland have confirmed that it was the only arrest made during the run of shows which saw thousands flock to watch the singer perform hits from her new album The Tortured Poets Department.
Superintendent David Happs said: ‘A 64-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with a voyeurism offence committed within Murrayfield during the event on Saturday, 8 June. ‘He was released on an undertaking to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court at a later date.’ This comes after the singer, 34, took to social media to share a selection of images from the three nights. She also wrote an emotional caption for her fans, 220,000 of which turned up for the record-breaking shows.
The singer penned: ‘Edinburgh!!! You truly blew me away this weekend. Thank you for breaking the all-time attendance record for a stadium show in Scotland 3 times in a row and for all the ways you made us feel right at home. ‘Love you, all 220,000 of you!!!’
Ms Swift kicked off the UK leg of her sellout Eras Tour in Edinburgh with a three-and-a-half-hour performance in which she told screaming fans: ‘What a way to welcome a lass to Scotland.’ The megastar emerged at Murrayfield Stadium in her signature blue and gold sequined leotard on Friday night following a riotous warm-up from American pop-punk band Paramore.
