Taylor Swift bid farewell to her Scottish fans in style after a three-night run at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium. The US superstar, whose appearance in Edinburgh has been a veritable whirlwind, admitted they’d saved the best for last as yet again audience numbers broke the current record for any show in Scotland ever. Let’s dive into the colorful and record-breaking night that marked the end of her Eras tour in Scotland.
The Rainy Spectacle
Since she arrived in town, Taylor Swift has braved unpredictable Scottish temperatures to bring her A game to the Stadium. Having sustained a frozen hand on night one and worn gloves during one of her songs on night two, she joked on the third evening: “I think it’s about to rain.” The skies, which had been blissfully sunny earlier, opened upon her 70,000-plus audience, but it didn’t dampen spirits. Fans opened their bags to bring out hoods and ponchos for the brief downpour. Taylor playfully said, “There’s no one I’d rather dance in the rain with than you”.
The Buoyant Crowd
The crowd loved Taylor’s enthusiasm and smiles throughout the three-and-a-half-hour-long extravaganza. Fans dressed immaculately in tribute costumes from her different Eras, and the overall feeling of love and goodwill spread throughout the event. From the countdown at the start with parachutes blowing in the wind to the pyrotechnics and piano set for “Champagne Problems,” right through to the spectacular fireworks at the end, it was a beautifully orchestrated show.
Sunday’s spectacle marked the end of a three-day-long carnival that saw hotels all over Edinburgh welcome the star’s entourage and all-embracing fans. The cobbled streets of the capital were paved with glitter and rainbows as restaurants, cafes, and bars provided Taylor-themed goodies. Scotland eagerly awaits her return, as Swift concerts are truly out-of-this-world experiences.
