Fans had been queuing for days before the hugely anticipated gig, in which Swift played a mammoth 45 songs Taylor Swift finally kicked off the UK leg of the ‘Eras’ tour in Edinburgh last night (June 7) – check out all the notable moments from the night below. The show was the first of three consecutive shows at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium and some fans had been queuing for days ahead of gates opening. The day before the show, fans queuing for merch had been warned by security that they could expect to wait over an hour to get served.

Swift played a huge 45-song setlist which largely followed a similar pattern to previous ‘Eras’ shows, with a selection of newly added songs from her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ . The picks for the ‘surprise song’ segment of the show were ‘Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve’ from ‘Midnights’ , which Swift played on guitar and incorporated elements of ‘I Know Places’ from ‘1989’. She then took to the piano for a mash-up of ’tis the damn season’ and ‘Daylight’ from ‘Evermore’ and ‘Lover’ respectively.



’tis the damn season’ is the only song other than ‘Long Live’ to have been performed as a surprise song after being removed from the setlist. During the first mash-up, Swift paused and refused to carry on singing until security had helped a fan who needed assistance. “I’m just going to keep playing till somebody helps them,” she said in time with the rhythm of her strum.
