After buying tickets almost a year ago, I finally got to see Taylor Swift live over the weekend. I went to her second Eras Tour show in Edinburgh on Saturday (June 8) and I wasn't everything I hoped for - it was so much more. I hoped she would sound amazing live, and she sure did and exceeded all my expectations.
I would even argue she sounds better live than she does on her albums - and that's saying something as a huge fan who has listened to all her albums countless times. I hoped the production of the show would be incredible and visuals would be just as good as videos I had seen online - and they indeed went beyond anything I could have ever expected. Each era had its very own theme and costume change, each minor detail was beautifully presented and so much thought had gone into the show's presentation.
From billows of smoke reaching to the sky during I Knew You Were Trouble and plumes of fire as she sang Bad Blood, the concert was so exciting and immersive. There was even orange confetti as Taylor sung: "Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place", during All Too Well. As Taylor sung the final verse of The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, she fell to the floor, having 'died' of a broken heart.
She was then picked up by her dancers who changed her costume for her and pushed her back out on stage, in time for I Can Do It With A Broken Heart. I absolutely loved that bit. Taylor, of course, looked just as dazzling as I hoped too.
Her hair and make-up stayed exactly the s.
