British fans moan that Taylor Swift’s Edinburgh gig was ‘taken over by Americans’ who came to the Eras Tour – even though she played 53 shows in the US

More than a million fans will watch Taylor Swift live in the UK now the pop superstar have brought her record breaking Eras Tour to the UK. The American singer, 34, kicked off her first UK gig in Edinburgh last weekend with more than 219,000 fans shaking it off at the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.

But thousands of fans have struggled to get their hands of tickets, due to exceptionally high demand. Fan who missed out on tickets – or had to fork out thousands on resale tickets, have shared their upset saying the tickets were sold to Americans, despite the singer doing 53 shows in the US and only playing 18 cities in Europe. The singer will go on to play nights in Cardiff and Liverpool as well as eight nights at Wembley – meaning 720,000 fans will attend in London alone.

Taking to social media after the show, fans have said they’re upset at the choice of some attendees to fly to Scotland, given that the singer hasn’t performed in the country in eight years. Americans have said they struggled to get tickets in their home state, and added that European dates are significantly cheaper due to the strength of the dollar. Anyone can go to whatever eras show they want, it’s their money and choice. But it is a tiny bit wild seeing so many Americans go to Edinburgh when Taylor hasn’t performed in Scotland for 8 years,’ one fan wrote on X.

‘There are far too many Americans in Edinburgh for Taylor Swift. Yous had about 90 shows of your own p*** off!’ wrote another. ‘Why are there Americans here on the train to see Taylor Swift in Edinburgh you guys already had your turn??? Oh i am so annoyed,’ said another. ‘Americans are so entitled they don’t understand why Europeans are upset at them grabbing the European taylor swift tickets just cause they’re cheaper for them,’ added one.

‘I loathe Americans what do you mean you’ve flown all the way to Scotland for a TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT. I have walked passed more Americans today than I usually do in WEEKS . Insufferable,’ said another. ‘So many rude Americans today I can’t cope. They either have no manners or they talk s*** about Scotland I can’t rn why come here to complain when Taylor Swift put on a whole a** American tour,’ wrote one.

‘Americans on the train saying how they are seeing Taylor Swift this weekend in Edinburgh. sin. ‘I was ineligible for eras tour tickets for Cardiff, Liverpool and Edinburgh. How tf are Americans taking up london?,’ added one. ‘This is why there is so much people not getting tickets in their own countries, I’ve been looking through twitter for maybe 5 mins and this is just a small amount of tweets/profiles of Americans saying they’re flying out for Edinburgh shows,’.

Taylor has already performed 53 dates in the US, she will return after the European leg to do nine more shows in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis. She will perform a total of 50 shows across 18 cities in Europe.
