LIVE: Taylor Swift LIVE updates as Eras Tour lands in UK and Tortured Poet trams roll through Edinburgh
Taylor Swift mania is about to hit the United Kingdom as Swifties in their masses gear up for the sold-out Eras Tour as the show arrives in Scotland this weekend.
The Eras Tour sees the American singer, 34, sing to her masses of dedicated fans for more than three hours, with Taylor set to have performed the show around 152 times once she concludes the tour. And now Taylor, who is dating Kansas City Chiefs hunk Travis Kelce, is set to plant her feet firmly on UK soil, the singer is gearing up for her shows in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London.
Across June and August, Taylor will perform two rounds of shows beginning on June 7. Across three nights in Scotland (June 7, 8, 9), Taylor will take to the stage at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium. Then, travelling down the country a little, Taylor will take to the stage in Liverpool to perform at the Anfield Stadium for three nights (June 13, 14, 15). Moving onto Wales a couple of nights later, Taylor will then perform one show on June 18 at the Principality Stadium.
Mere days later, Taylor will then perform another trio of shows at London’s Wembley Arena (June 21, 22, 23), before heading further afield throughout Europe. But Taylor won’t stay away from UK soil for too long, with her due back in the capital for a further five sold-out shows (August 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20).
Taylor will likely be supported by boyfriend Travis while performing for sold-out crowds in the UK, with the KCC tight end expected to travel over from the United States to support his girlfriend. And when he does get to witness the iconic and hotly-anticipated world tour, Travis will get to hear the song Taylor penned about him from her new album, The Tortured Poets Department.
On her album, The Tortured Poets Department, the song So High School, is suspected to be written about Travis. In the song, Taylor croons: “Truth, dare, spin bottles / You know how to ball, I know Aristotle,” which seemingly references his football skills and her songwriting skills. The lyric video for the TTPD track also highlights TK – Travis’ initials in pink, and TS – Taylor’s initials in pink. Taylor croons the bridge of this song during the TTPD set of her Eras Tour after thrilling the crowd with her country-esque TTPD song, But Daddy I Love Him.
