Taylor Swift is about to (finally) bring her epic Eras Tour to the UK and one of the biggest radio stations has made an unprecedented announcement. Swiftiemania has ramped up as her three-and-a-half-hour show reached Europe, with fans in Lyon the latest to be treated to her increasingly unhinged mashup surprise songs. In honour of her upcoming Edinburgh gigs , Capital FM will host a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week, pop-up station, dedicated to The Long Story Short singer – the first of its kind.
Capital (Taylor’s Version) is the first time a UK DAB radio station has been dedicated to just one artist. There is a catch though, fans won’t be hearing Getaway Car or Tim McGraw on this station as it is re-recorded albums only. Reputation and Taylor Swift – also known as Debut – are yet to be released as a Taylor’s Version album so they will be omitted from the playlist.
However, with over 250 songs to choose from repeats are bound to be few and far between, although we doubt die-hard Swifties will care anyway. Fearless, Speak Now , Red , 1989 , Lover, folklore, evermore, Midnights and the Tortured Poets Department are all mixed in for this ultimate playlist. Of course, no station would be complete without some talking segments and fans will be treated to fun facts and news updates dotted in throughout.
Capital will also be speaking to swifties before and after her shows in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, and London, for a feel of the Eras Tour as it happens. Brent Tobin, Managing .
