Here’s Why You’re Now Seeing Taylor Swift Perform the Eras Tour in Daylight “feels illegal to see behind the scenes.”

Swifties have been taken aback by footage emerging from Taylor Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour as the singer is now performing in broad daylight.

Most obvious in last week’s Scottish dates, the bright sky during the shows has stirred curiosity among fans who are more used to seeing her perform after dark.

Consisting of 152 shows across five continents, the tour commenced on March 17, 2023 and has already seen her play across the U.S., as well as in Australia, Asia, Mexico, and South America before arriving in Europe in the Spring.

The record-breaking Eras Tour is now beginning in the U.K. where a distinct difference in the sky can be attributed to geographical variances in sunset times.

“What it’s actually that weird seeing it during daylight?” said Viktoriaaaa on TikTok after watching footage of Swift during her Edinburgh show.

“It’s giving Disney ride with the lights on,” agreed Priscilla. “Feels illegal to see behind the scenes.”

While the sun typically sets between 7:30 pm and 9:00 pm in most of the U.S. during the summer, the U.K. experiences later sunsets, with twilight lingering until around 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm and later during the summer months. This difference arises from the U.K.’s higher latitude, affording it longer daylight hours due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis.

With the summer solstice, marking the longest day of the year in the U.K., swiftly approaching on June 20, concert-goers at Wembley Stadium, London, where she is set to play on the 21, 22 and 23rd of June, are in for a unique experience.
