Marriage proposals, singing heard for miles and sign language for deaf fans: The heartwarming moments from Taylor Swift’s record-breaking visit to Edinburgh

From marriage proposals, to singing heard for miles and sign language for deaf fans – Taylor Swift’s recording-breaking visit to Edinburgh was full of heartwarming moments. The American megastar dazzled fans for three nights in Scotland this weekend – with each show consisting of 46 songs performed for more than three hours.

Swifties camped outside of Murrayfield stadium to secure the best spot in the venue and broke stadium attendance records – with around 73,000 attending each show. But before Swift, 34, moves on to her next British stop – Liverpool – here is a round-up of some memorable moments from her Scottish leg of the Eras Tour. The pop star made sure to begin her first night in Scotland for nearly ten years with an announcement thanking fans for breaking a stadium attendance record.

Swift went on to describe it as ‘the wildest way to welcome a lass’ – making sure to add a Scottish reference which brought out a cheer from the packed stadium. A video posted on TikTok shows Swift addressing the crowd, she said: ‘I have not gotten to be in Scotland for almost a decade now. ‘The last time I was here was almost ten years ago and I was wondering what’s it going to be like when we go back to visit them?

‘How are they going to be as a crowd, and you know what, you kinda answered me before I even got on stage because I had someone pull me aside and say hey, we’ve checked this 20 times and we swear it’s accurate. ‘Tonight’s concert is the most highly attended stadium show in Scottish history.’ She added: ‘Thank you Edinburgh, that’s absolutely the wildest way to welcome a lass to your city, I cannot believe it.’

The megastar went on to break the record again on her final night in Edinburgh. Last night she exclaimed to the cheering crowd: ‘I thought there’s no way they could possibly fit more people in the stadium and yet, they told me tonight that this show has broken the record.’ Perhaps the most special moment of the first night came when the pop icon witnessed a live proposal in the audience.

Footage posted online shows the two women hugging and kissing each other with beaming smiles after the proposal while Swift performs her song ‘Cardigan’. After finishing the song, Swift says to the audience: ‘I love performing this entire show in the sunlight, because I’m pretty sure I just, like, saw somebody getting engaged over here,’ as the crowd cheered.
