Showbiz I would like to be emailed about offers, event and updates from Evening Standard. Read our privacy notice . Capital Radio has launched a pop-up station dedicated to all things Taylor Swift ahead of the pop superstar kicking off the UK leg of her Eras tour.
The US singer, 34, will perform for three consecutive nights at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, from Friday before moving to Liverpool, Cardiff and London . The new station will allow fans of the pop star, known as Swifties, the chance to listen to their favourite artist all day “until its So Long, London”. Capital (Taylor’s Version) will play hits from across her 11 studio album, as well as offering trivia on the artist.
The station will also provide updates on Swift as she tours across the UK and will speak with fans before and after the shows to hear all the details on the experience. Capital has said it is the first time in the UK that a national DAB radio station has been dedicated to a single artist. Managing editor of Capital Brent Tobin said: “We were so excited to create this pop up radio station to celebrate Taylor Swift.
“It’s set to be a fan favourite, with not only the greatest songs, but top trivia and tour news. “We’ll be on air until it’s So Long, London and we hope all the Swifties join us for the ultimate tour celebration.” The Grammy-winning artist launched her marathon Eras tour March last year and she is set to perform 152 shows by the time she finishes in December 2024.
Trav.
