Taylor Swift reveals she is ‘blown away’ as she thanks her fans following emotional first UK gigs in Edinburgh – which saw her forced to halt shows
Taylor Swift took to social media for the first time on Monday, after performing three consecutive nights at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.
The singer, 34, shared a selection of images from the three nights and wrote that she was ‘blown away’ by the experience.
She also wrote an emotional caption filled with gratitude for her fans, with her declaring her love for all 220,000 of them.
The singer penned: ‘Edinburgh!!! You truly blew me away this weekend. Thank you for breaking the all-time attendance record for a stadium show in Scotland 3 times in a row and for all the ways you made us feel right at home.
‘Love you, all 220,000 of you!!!’
Her words came after she was forced to halt her show over the three days that she performed in the Scottish capital.
During night two, Taylor looked out for her fans throughout the show – asking stadium staff to help out.
She noticed fans needed help during a performance of her song All Too Well.
‘We need some help over there please,’ she said pointing to the crowd.
Then during her song Betty, Taylor stopped mid-word to point again to the crowd and say: ‘We need some help right there.’
The third time of the night was when Taylor was singing The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.
Taylor kicked off the UK leg of her sellout Eras Tour in style in Edinburgh with a flawless three-and-a-half-hour showstopper of a performance in which she told screaming fans: ‘What a way to welcome a lass to Scotland.’
The megastar drove fans wild on Friday night as she emerged at Murrayfield Stadium in her signature blue and gold sequined leotard following a riotous warm-up from American pop-punk band Paramore.
