Has Taylor made a Swift arrival? Swifties go into excitement overdrive as mystery private jet lands at Edinburgh airport amid speculation star will arrive early for UK leg of her sell-out Eras tour
Taylor Swift fans have gone into excitement overdrive after a mysterious private jet landed at Edinburgh airport today. The jet has caused fans to speculate that the superstar has arrived a day early for the UK leg of her sell-out Eras tour, with her first performance in the Scottish capital due on Friday evening.
It was snapped landing as 220,000 Swifties prepare to descend on the city’s Murrayfield Stadium for the megastar’s three performances this weekend. The rumors have been fueled after BMW X5 security cars with bulletproof glass were spotted near the jet – a car that the superstar has used to get around in before. But there has been no sighting of Swift so far, and no confirmation if she was on the plane.
However several other theories have also been swirling around the internet with some fans believing she has arrived in Inverness on Wednesday, while others say she has arrived in Glasgow today. But the theory most popular is that she was on the plane that arrived in Edinburgh Airport this afternoon. Her last gig was in Lyon, France, on Monday, with fans believing she could have journeyed home for a few days of respite before starting her grueling UK leg of her tour.
She will be doing 10 dates in the UK, then three in Dublin, over the course of 23 days. But rival theories believe the Love Story singer has already arrived in Scotland after a luxury private jet of the same brand as hers arrived in Inverness in the Highlands on Wednesday. Speculation has mounted after an anonymous person from the Highlands spotted a plane in the night sky and decided to check the popular app Flight Radar to see where it originated and found it was a Dassault Falcon FA7X.
That plane had traveled from Philadelphia, where the star was born and raised. While other internet sleuths believe the fan may have arrived in Glasgow after another luxury private jet was seen landing in Glasgow this afternoon. Entire fan accounts which are solely focused on tracking the star’s movements have been trying to keep track of her arrival in Scotland.
The private jet lineup for the star changed in February after the 14-time Grammy winner sold her $40 million Dassault Falcon 900LX on January 30 to car insurance company Car Shield based in Missouri, estimated to be worth around $7million second-hand. Swift, 34, has been under pressure to cut down on her carbon emissions after jet-setting across the world to spend time with Kansas Chief’s tight end Travis Kelce.
