It's official - Taylor Swift is making her way to Scotland! Fans of the pop star, known as Swifties, have been buzzing with excitement as her highly anticipated Eras Tour finally arrives in the UK this week. After tickets sold out last year, Taylor has been performing for thousands of adoring fans across the US and Europe, and now it's finally Scotland's turn.
The 33-year-old singer, known for hits like "Blank Space" and "Shake It Off", will be treating her fans to a three-hour concert each night, playing songs from her past albums like Fearless and Red, as well as her latest chart-topping album, The Tortured Poets Department. And for those lucky enough to have tickets, the wait is almost over - Taylor will be performing in Edinburgh on Friday, June 7th, Saturday, June 8th, and Sunday, June 9th, with Paramore as her support act.
But before the concerts kick off, let's take a closer look at the venue where Taylor will be wowing the Scottish crowd - the BT Murrayfield Stadium. According to VisitScotland, this is the largest stadium in Scotland, with a capacity of 67,144 people. While it's primarily used for sports events and is known as the home of Scottish Rugby, it has also hosted some of the biggest names in music, including One Direction, Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen.
So what can fans expect from the seating plan at Murrayfield Stadium? The stadium features two tiers of banked seating, as well as a large standing-only area in front of the stage. And for those wondering about the ticket packages for the Edinburgh show, it all depends on what fans paid for their tickets and the packages they chose - some will have seated tickets, ranging from £58.65 to £194.75, while others will have standing tickets for £110.40 or front standing for £172.25.

Now, onto the important question - does Murrayfield Stadium have a roof? And what will the weather be like for the Edinburgh shows? While we can always count on Taylor to deliver an amazing performance, unfortunately, we can't control the weather. So it's a good idea for concert-goers to bring a waterproof jacket just in case of a surprise shower. The forecast is looking mostly dry, with a small chance of rain and some breezy conditions for fans in the higher sections of the stadium. But with all the dancing and singing along, we're sure fans will stay warm regardless.
And speaking of the show - what can fans expect from Taylor's performances in Edinburgh? Well, for starters, she'll be showcasing a revamped setlist for the UK leg of her tour, with changes made after the American leg. While some beloved songs from previous eras may have been cut, such as "Long Live" and "Tolerate It", Taylor will be showcasing her latest record in all its glory, with new additions like "But Daddy I Love Him", "Down Bad", and "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived".
And let's not forget about the surprise songs that Taylor has been known to perform on each leg of her tour. Fans can expect some special mash-ups of her hits, performed on both piano and guitar. So Scottish Swifties, start placing your bets on which songs you might hear at the Edinburgh shows!
