Taylor Swift on stage Taoiseach Simon Harris says he has “a bone to pick” with Taylor Swift. “We’re delighted to have her here in Ireland but she did take a pebble from the beach at Greystones and she sings about it in Sweet Nothings. “But Greystones being my hometown, we're very pleased that Taylor enjoys Wicklow.
But she does ponder in the song, ‘Does the pebble ever miss Wicklow?’” The Taoiseach added: “She's very welcome back to Co Wicklow at any time. I'm not sure whether she'll have time to visit this time, but she's very welcome. And there are many more pebbles that we have in the beautiful town of Greystones.
“On a serious level, I won't be going unfortunately as I don't have a ticket. And I am really conscious that actually it's a moment of great excitement for many, many, many people right across our country. I actually think this is going to be a great weekend for our capital city, between the GAA matches and Longitude at Marlay Park, and with Shania Twain at Malahide obviously.
“There's a lot of really exciting events happening and I'm hoping that it's going to be a really good weekend that people can enjoy, can celebrate and of course can can stay safe as well. “So I hope people have a really good weekend.” Join the Irish Independent WhatsApp channel Stay up to date with all the latest news.
