Taylor Swift Rocks Irish Flag Colors During First Eras Tour Show in Dublin — See Her Look! The singer channeled the hosting country during the ‘1989’ portion of her set
Taylor Swift is representing Ireland with pride! The singer, 34, wore an outfit featuring the colors of the country’s flag during the first stop of her Eras Tour at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Friday, June 28.
Swift sported a bejeweled orange cropped top and a similarly shimmery ombre green skirt while performing the 1989 portion of her set. She sang various tunes from her fan-favorite LP during the segment, including “Blank Space,” “Shake It Off,” and “Bad Blood.
Earlier during the concert event, while performing the track “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” off of her Red album, Swift’s backup dancer Kameron Saunders gave a playful nod to the country hosting them when he screamed “póg mo thóin,” which translates in English from Irish to “kiss my ass,” during one part of the song.
The dancer is known for saying the original lyric, “like, ever,” in the native language of where the performance is taking place. Recently, he has changed up his shoutouts, however, including during Swift’s recent string of shows in Liverpool, England. Swift also delighted fans during her first night in Dublin when she performed two new mashups as part of the surprise songs portion of her tour.
The singer first performed a mashup of Red’s “State of Grace” and Midnights’ “You’re On Your Own Kid.” She then took part in a medley that combined Midnights’ “Sweet Nothing” and Folklore’s “Hoax.”
