6 months ago
Taylor Swift brings curtain down on her trio of Edinburgh shows and will now take the show on road to Liverpool where she will play three nights in a row at Anfield Stadium.
Taylor Swift is coming to Liverpool this Thursday, 13 June, where she will play the 100th show of her Eras Tour at Anfield Stadium.
The US pop superstar, 34, enthralled ecstatic crowds at Murrayfield Stadium, in Edinburgh, with a three-hour performance spanning hits from her 11 studio albums over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.
She will now take the show on road to Liverpool where she will play three nights in a row at Anfield Stadium from Thursday to Saturday.
Sunday’s show featured some showers but it did not put a dampener on the night as Swift can be seen telling the crowd “there is no one I would rather dance in the rain with than you” in a video shared to social media.
For the surprise song section of the show she performed It’s Nice To Have A Friend mixed with Dorothea as well as Haunted mashed with Exile.
“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,” she exclaimed as the crowd cheered.
Saturday’s show also featured some famous faces in the crowd as the cast of Outlander were in attendance, donning beaded friendship bracelets which have become a staple at Swift’s shows.
The billionaire singer-songwriter made several costume changes each night with outfits including a blue and silver sequinned bodysuit and a long asymmetrical-hem orange dress and a lime-green flowing dress with cut-outs.
Swift’s new revamped setlist for the UK and European dates has seen her cut several songs to showcase music from her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, including But Daddy I Love Him, Down Bad, Fortnight, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, and I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.
US pop-punk band Paramore, consisting of Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Zac Farro, warmed up for Swift at Edinburgh and are set to support her in Liverpool as well as all other UK dates.
Businesses across the city are hosting after parties, speciality cocktails, and Bottomless Brunches to get in the spirit of Taylor’s iconic music, even if you didn’t manage to get a ticket to the tour.
