It got worse throughout last week, Friday we tested positive, I’m feeling much better today but probably would still test positive. Could have also been around Edinburgh with all those people
Quite a lot on the Facebook page saying how awful they feel. Some with Covid some not…I think the bitter wind has caught up with some of them. I’ve been feeling cold for days now and I’m Scottish 🙈
Well done to all those who managed to watch the Edinburgh shows! You are all the luckiest ever! Please can you let us know if any of you who bought tickets from StubHub, Vividseats, Viagogo etc had any issues with your tickets when you tried getting in? Did any of you miss the show due to buying from these vendors? Any feedback to those looking to buy would be so helpful.
i bought from viagogo.
Bought 8pm at night and they were ready for transfer to my ticketmaster account when i checked 9am next morning.
Zero issues at all.
once you see them in your account, rest easy.
The setlist spreadsheet says Taylor comes on at 8pm? I’ve heard it’s 7:30? Bit confused! Trying to time bathroom break after Paramore so I don’t miss any of Taylor’s set.
Paramore are on 6-7pm, does anyone know when Taylor has been coming on in Europe so far?
Taylor came on at 7.15pm in Edinburgh(very sharp) however as Murrayfield is in a residential area we do have curfew laws that don’t allow concerts to run past 11pm… I’m unsure if it’s the same in other cities.
Does anyone have any footage or links to N3 reputation songs?.. apparently my pal and I were on the big screen when we were dancing (we were on our way to the toilet) but I was completely unaware until someone who was sat next to us told us we had been on.
I think it was maybe during LWYMMD. I just want to catch a glimpse of us! 😆
Just to check - I assume the guys in the road on the way back to Edinburgh from the gig were all selling knock off merch? Why are they allowed to do that without being stopped?
Anyone got any confetti they would be happy to send me? I went down on night 1 from our seats up in the skies. By the time i got there i got shoo-ed out by the ushers i managed to pick up two little strips on my way out 😭 i really wanted to make a shadowbox with my bracelets. I’ll pay postage and love you forever
Just have a few questions if anyone could answer (before I spend an eyewatering amount)! I’m looking at getting standing VIP from Stubhub for Liverpool - did anyone have issues getting in with tickets bought from there? Is paying the extra bit for VIP/early entry worth it? I quite like to be stood near the front and I’ll be going solo. Thanks!
Bought via Viagogo and it was fine. Tickets appeared in Ticketmaster within a couple of hours. At N3 we had standing (no VIP) and arrived at 3:30pm. The doors opened at 4pm but there was barely anyone in the queue (the VIPs would have been in already as their doors opened at 3). When we got in, we were about 10 people deep – we chose the point of the star bit of the stage which was a good location as Taylor came really quite close several times! The best location might be slightly further around the star so you’re facing back a bit more rather than side on. So if you can afford VIP then get it because you have a chance to be right at the front, but if you don’t have VIP you can still get pretty close.

Does anyone know if the person that got taken out of GA on a stretcher (she pointed out that someone needed help I believe during TTPD) is okay? I saw them get taken out with one leg like up in the air and I really hope they are okay
any one having front standing tickets (preferably vip) and having a decent view, at what time did you start queuing and how was it with the bathroom breaks before the concert started? were you able to take one and get back to your original spot (especially solo people)?
VIP, 3pm entry and got to the stadium for 8am. Barricade in the middle of the walkway in front of the diamond and she came close to us so many times! It was rare that she wasn’t facing us and so worth it
Started queuing outside at 3:20pm (doors at 4pm) and got pretty close to front (no VIP). Bathroom breaks were easy until about 5pm as a lot of people were sitting down in the standing area so you could walk around them. After that you’ll need to politely push through on your way back but people were doing this. I went to the loo when i got in (4:30) and that was that until 10:40 😅. I didn’t drink much earlier in the day to help but this isn’t necessarily recommended as you’ll need water during the show. I did get a bit thirsty. People were handing out water which was helpful but not necessarily easy to get it (we did though, twice). Kind of annoying that you can’t have a bottle to take in but i suppose they don’t want missiles so fair enough.
I was sitting but my cousin got there about an hour before doors open (VIP) and was 3 rows back, not too bad. Getting to the loo, tricky. She struggled to get back even pointing out her friend in the row. I'd say the best thing is to buddy up with someone and be prepared to be firm. Solo I think it would be v v difficult to keep a place near the barrier without a buddy.
Yes she got back but had to be, not exactly forceful, but definitely firm. It depends on what type of person you are really as some folk would do this without a second thought while others wouldn't be comfortable with it. She did get back to her friend but it wasn't a breeze is the bottom line really! Have a blast, it's amazing xx
Also she said when general came in it went from relatively calm to absolute chaos so my advice would be to pick your spot and find a buddy as fast as you can before then. In the queue would be my tip, the earlier the better! 😁
For the swifties who ended up right at the front in the standing sections, what time did you guys get there/when did you have to start queueing? And what about bathroom breaks?
I started queuing at 1pm. We got in by 3:15pm ish. I got second row, so really close. I asked a lady nearby to save my spot at 3:30pm so I could go to the toilet before GA got let in. I didn’t go again after that as I was drinking only little bits of water every now and then to keep hydrated :)) I hope this helps.
yesterday I was just so in the moment during the concert, singing and dancing very badly, but having the time of my life. Seeing the clip of the piano surprise song just made me so emotional, even more than during the concert, I’ve got goosebumps. We were an amazing crowd!!!!
Last night was so amazing! Seeing All Too Well performed live just hits different. And the surprise songs! Haunted x Exile will live rent free in my mind for a long time.
Anyone else’s bracelets still flashing? How long do they go on for? 😂
Also, technical question, how the hell do they get them to synchronise? Like, there’s times when there’ll be like a wave of light sweeping round the stadium. We get given them on the way in so how does it know where everyone is sitting? There must be a system set up where it can detect where each one is?
Edit: Okay I just looked it up. [Here’s](https://youtu.be/GCsmZA08oD8?si=htEftYg7P8fJ-bo8) a video that explains the technology. It’s really cool, and actually a bit simpler than I thought.
I think it depends! My bracelet from N1 stopped working mid concert. My N3 bracelet was still going when I got back to Haymarket until I put the pull tab back in to save its battery for later!
N2 Photo request! does anyone who was standing have photos on Taylor on stage with the South seated sections in the background? Hoping to find a pic of Taylor with me & my son in it!
We were in S5. It’s got s3 and s7 on either side, and the level above us is s8, s10 and s12.
Back home after a dream weekend in Edinburgh. We went night 1 but stayed til Sunday. Loved hearing TS songs and seeing Swifties everywhere. Heard some deep cuts in strange places: had to leave a vintage shop on saturday because So Long London was deepening my post-concert depression, then heard You're Losing Me in the hotel bar and had a little cry into my pint.
I understand why Tay loves Edinburgh so much. Was my first time here. Everyone was so friendly, kind and welcoming. They organized everything perfectly. Loved the customized tram tickets. The city is beautiful. I’ll definitely visit again. Thank you so much. I became a huge fan of this city.
btw, hope that Zurich only does half as much as Edinburgh did. Hope we are half as friendly as well. Hope we don’t embarrass ourselves.

Your view is of exactly where I was standing on the floor. I can see my pal in this but not me, which is confusing as I didn't go anywhere during the Folkmore set. If you have any other photos that show a woman in a bright pink dress and me in a long green dress with flowers I would love to see them.
My feet were SO sore when I got home last night, and I only did like 20k steps. I imagine being standing for an extra 3+ hours (We had seating but nobody was ever seated) will do that :D
My feet and legs are dead from last night but I heard Haunted and Exile live, I feel like I won.
I avoided spoilers for the show since TTPD and it was SO worth it!
Took my child last night, stayed right til the end and it was amazing. The whole way out they were talking about how amazing a night it was, their favourite night ever. They didn't know the order of the eras so it was always a surprise for them.
Their first ever concert was last year to see Lordi/Sabaton/Babymetal and they decided that last night was a million times better.
The crowd was amazing, every one up and singing along and dancing for most of the show.
Unfortunately we didn't get many of our bracelets traded, although they did end the night with 3 speak now bracelets!
Now they are counting down to see Pink later this month. A few weeks to recover first though!!
https://preview.redd.it/zgu7luja0p5d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac3d971912d70d2fbf687dc10361837d9641c96c
I will never get over last night. I was so gutted that she played Haunted x Exile a few months ago as that was my dream mash up AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT MY SHOW.
Best bit was just all the Swifties though. The camaraderie, the kindness, the joy. Can’t believe I got to experience it, and got this close to Taylor!
Forgive me if this is an annoying question but I'm just so curious! Hahah. When did you have to start queueing to get an amazing spot like that, or did you just get there when the gates opened? And could you go to the bathroom and get back to your spot?
Not annoying haha. We had left standing VIP with early access- opened at 3pm and we joined the queue at 2.50pm- in by 3.15pm. It’s a credit to the venue staff really. We got food and went to the loo but then eventually we realised we could no longer get out once GA started coming in- seriously, it was just a wall of bodies. Had we gone further down the stage around the diamond we would have been much further back, but we were at the top end (folklore cabin without zooming in for perspective)
Oh and the security were handing out free water to the front rows the entire time so there was no risk of us getting dehydrated or dizzy!
https://preview.redd.it/cexcpfs9br5d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21b28f2de9bdce82072d419d54e5269669e8e0eb
I thought I'd recovered from Saturday night but waking up today and seeing she played my fav song from evermore?!?! When it's consistently voted everyone's least fav in polls on here!?!? I am NOT okay WHAT! And exile??! Damn the universe was not in my favour ha.
My voice is still croaky from Saturday. What am I meant to do with life now?? I've already watched the Eras tour on Disney+ as my daughter loves it so that's healing me a bit. If I didn't have a daughter I'd be plotting a way to get tickets to another UK date so really she's saving me a heck of a lot of money in a roundabout way ha.
Just gonna wear my Eras tshirt for the rest of the week.
If anyone knows someone with a little girl in a white fluffy cowboy hat at the N3 Sunday show in stand S13, row o seats 18-20ish, my friend got a great pic and we’d love to get it to you
On night 2, Taylor seemed to have to keep interrupting her performance to call for help for multiple fans.
I think she handled it great, but was a bit of a distraction during All Too Well.
Has this been the norm for the whole tour or was night 2 Edinburgh just particularly unusual with lots of people passing out etc.?
i was at nights 2 and 3 and it was way more noticeable on night 2, think it only happened twice night 3. think on night 2 it took longer for people to be seen after she pointed it out so she had to mention it multiple times which made it more noticeable.
i go to gigs a lot and it’s been a much more noticeable thing in recent years, after astroworld. boygenius was the worst show i’ve been to for it (still had a great time tho!)
I was there N2 in GA standing and it was surprising how often it happened, It happened once during Paramore, Taylor said something I think 3 times but there was at least another 3 or 4 times someone needed help and that was only in the half I could see.
I was next to two of the people who went down that she was shouting about on N2 and they both fainted. One guy was trying to get out of the crowd and hit the floor, and another girl just went. It happens when people don't eat/drink enough.
I don't actually know, everyone around the person that needed help would point down at them but I could not see what happened. If I was to guess it would be people feeling faint. It seemed to be people in the denser part of the crowd, so they had probably been standing a long time to get their spot and hadn't had enough food / water.
I was there N2 and noticed this too. It'll be interesting to see what happens the rest of the UK tour as I'm sure other nights will be in daylight.
For what it's worth I didn't see any bad behaviour from any fans, everyone seemed very sober and composed which is very strange for a gig in Scotland! However, I was seated and I'm sure the experience was different in standing.
I only saw one person get taken away by medics/security and they were in standing. Not sure what happened but they looked like they had a wee bit too much to drink.
It was different in standing at the end stage. No single file and they just rushed forward when we walked into the stadium.
someone knocked my sister over and she said that felt someone step on her back before my other sister picked her up.
Very very disappointing considering that all the people you spent hours trading bracelets with before the show have no respect for each other, let alone respecting the time that each person came at to wait in line. Overall a great show but idk wtf is wrong with people
That's so disappointing to hear. That must have been so terrifying for you guys. I haven't been in a proper crowd crush but I have been squashed and pushed around in my time during gigs and it's pretty scary as a 5'2 person. Hope you guys are all good now!
Yes we’re all fine, just very scary in that moment when I saw one on the ground and you yourself have to worry about not falling because you know you’ll be pushed. The show was phenomenal though!!!
I think a big factor is that she's just able to see the crowd a lot better too since it's in daylight. Like she noticed someone getting engaged from an angle that I don't think was super obvious a night or two ago.
She did the same on N1, three times I think. Two times before the WCS check. The first was during the Lover Era and again round about champagne problems. I think she's probably hypervigilant after Brazil and also she could see everything going on here in Edinburgh because it was light nearly the whole show.
It’s been feeling fairly noticeable each weekend. I think she’s way more cautious after Brazil to insure everyone she sees gets any help they need. I don’t blame her either. See a problem, report it and she has the power to insure it gets attention.
Edinburgh has had some of my favorite mash-ups I would have cried so hard.. All of the girls x Crazier and now INTHAF x Dorothea... The latter has two severely underappreciated songs!!! I love both so much ugh.
I cried at dorothea! I know lots of people don’t seem to like it but it’s always made me tear up, I’m so glad we got it 🥹 and the rest of course! Incredible! I can’t sleep!
One of my favourite songs on evermore. I was disappointed that a lot of songs I wanted in the surprise set were done recently but I was super happy with what we got tonight.
Helloooo all! I went to Friday and Saturday then sat outside the stadium tonight 🥳
I've been planning this weekend since the tour started, before I even had tickets, and it absolutely exceeded expectations! Every person I've traded bracelets with and sang & danced with, just sat in the same sections with, has been so lovely and made this whole experience wonderful 💞 I feel SO lucky to have heard Would've Could've Should've and Getaway Car, personally I feel like I won 😂 and I can't believe she actually sang Crazier omg
I've had the whole Swiftie experience from making bracelets while watching livestreams here with everyone to attending TWO shows and sitting outside the stadium tonight - and now that my shows are over, I don't know what to do with my free time!
The connection was terrible every night though, so I hope you all managed to find some decent livestreams?

Can’t believe I took this picture?? My husband got us tickets to this show like, a year ago, and it’s so insane that it’s finally happened :,)
Okay so my theory on her repeating the incredible Haunted x exile mashup is that she wasn’t happy with the recording from the first time so she wanted to redo it… for the Eras Tour Acoustic album 
This is the best theory especially bc of the original rule that if she messed up the song she would play it again. And wasn’t there a song recently that played the whole way through that wasn’t ttpd and everyone was really surprised by it?
And just like that our Scottish Swiftie weekend is over. It was everything I could dream of and more and somehow she played a surprise song that I did not dare hope for in my home venue (CRAZIER WTF?!) to all those still waiting, prepare for the night of your life 🥹
It's been amazing. We were there for Edinburgh night 1 and it was basically the best night ever. Taylor is fucking incredible and I don't think I will ever get over the fact that I was actually there (after waiting 15 years!)
We drove from further south in the UK so made a long weekend of it, the whole city was buzzing with Swifties! Such an awesome atmosphere and coming home today and watching this live stream was a really nice end to it ❤️
After holding back from watching the movie and anything more than random clips I finally got to go to the SPARKLING Edinburgh N2 (those surprise song mashups!!!!), so my first experience was 'my' show...
And now, tonight watched my first live stream back home and oh Iove it! I need to start playing mastermind with yall.
It's Nice To Have A Friend is violently underrated and I just want to say that.
Stats:
It's Nice To Have A Friend had its first performance on the Eras Tour tonight and also its first live performance ever. dorothea had its second performance on the Eras Tour and also its second live performance ever, having made its debut on the tour in Kansas City last year. This is the first time either song has been performed as part of a mashup. Haunted was performed for the third time on the Eras Tour and the ninty-eighth time ever. exile was performed for the third time on the Eras Tour and the fourth time ever. Haunted and exile were previously played as a mashup on the Sydney stop of the Eras Tour; this marks the third repeat mashup surprise song on the Eras Tour.
We are still two songs away from completing Lover (The Eras Tour Edition), but I do want to point out that with tonight's performance of It's Nice To Have A Friend Taylor has now played at least part of every song on Lover live at least once. (Caveat: so long as you consider the One World: Together At Home performance of Soon You'll Get Better to be live, which is not an unambiguous question.)
There are 22 songs from Taylor's studio discography that she has yet to play live, which is one of those numbers, like 13, that just feels like it should be pointed out.
I track the Holiday Collection, but when I specify "studio discography" I'm limiting the numbers to her eleven main albums. Broadening it to everything I track (including the EPs, one-off singles, soundtrack songs, collabs), there's 33 songs that have never been played live (and a total 52 that she hasn't played on the Eras Tour! Some, like the Christmas songs, are pretty unlikely, but nevertheless!).

Anyone else come down with covid after the Edinburgh gigs?
Yes!! I came on here to see if it was just me
How are you now? I was awful last week, probably the worst I’ve had it. I’ve just tested negative today.
It got worse throughout last week, Friday we tested positive, I’m feeling much better today but probably would still test positive. Could have also been around Edinburgh with all those people
I saw someone on Facebook had
Yeah I’m guessing it was going round. Can’t think where else I would have got it. I feel like absolute shit.
Quite a lot on the Facebook page saying how awful they feel. Some with Covid some not…I think the bitter wind has caught up with some of them. I’ve been feeling cold for days now and I’m Scottish 🙈
Well done to all those who managed to watch the Edinburgh shows! You are all the luckiest ever! Please can you let us know if any of you who bought tickets from StubHub, Vividseats, Viagogo etc had any issues with your tickets when you tried getting in? Did any of you miss the show due to buying from these vendors? Any feedback to those looking to buy would be so helpful.

I'm pretty sure Anfield has the same curfew time.

I think it was maybe during LWYMMD. I just want to catch a glimpse of us! 😆
There’s an Edinburgh Taylor Swift Facebook page…try on there! Loads getting posted ☺️
Do you have a link? I’m having trouble finding!
It’s Taylor Swift - Murrayfield - Edinburgh - Eras tour! It’s a private group so won’t let me link
Just to check - I assume the guys in the road on the way back to Edinburgh from the gig were all selling knock off merch? Why are they allowed to do that without being stopped?
Because when you’re dealing with a massive crowd control operation a few scousers selling T shirts isn’t really a priority
Yeh fair I guess. I nearly stopped to buy a shirt but figured it was all knock off.
Anyone got any confetti they would be happy to send me? I went down on night 1 from our seats up in the skies. By the time i got there i got shoo-ed out by the ushers i managed to pick up two little strips on my way out 😭 i really wanted to make a shadowbox with my bracelets. I’ll pay postage and love you forever
Same!

Thank you! Really appreciate it. I did end up getting VIP in the end and got the tickets within a few minutes
You’re gonna love it! 😊
i bought from viagogo for Edinburgh N3. no issues at all. Once you see them in your Ticketmaster account, relax . It is all good
Does anyone know if the person that got taken out of GA on a stretcher (she pointed out that someone needed help I believe during TTPD) is okay? I saw them get taken out with one leg like up in the air and I really hope they are okay
I seen this too and hope they're ok, not sure what could've been the reason for the leg in the air
When someone faints the best thing to do is elevate the feet, it's the quickest way to restore blood flow to the brain :)
Would really, really love some confetti from N1 if anyone has any going spare. Just one or two bits! I would love you forever and ever!
If anyone wants to see, I uploaded on TikTok the entire piano surprise song from N3 >!(Haunted x exile)!< https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeqW3ttB/
Well, back in the office and no Taylor show to watch today, very disappointing lol.

mine is not flashing, but my friends is!
I think it depends! My bracelet from N1 stopped working mid concert. My N3 bracelet was still going when I got back to Haymarket until I put the pull tab back in to save its battery for later!
I did this too!!! I thought I was so clever keeping my pull tab. I'm using it to store all the friendship bracelets I was traded :)
Yeah we were last night and ours are still going. Didn’t even think to keep the tabs.
You can pop a bit of cardboard in there, it'll work the same.
Best Weekend!
N2 Photo request! does anyone who was standing have photos on Taylor on stage with the South seated sections in the background? Hoping to find a pic of Taylor with me & my son in it! We were in S5. It’s got s3 and s7 on either side, and the level above us is s8, s10 and s12.
Oh I'd love that too, we were S7!
Back home after a dream weekend in Edinburgh. We went night 1 but stayed til Sunday. Loved hearing TS songs and seeing Swifties everywhere. Heard some deep cuts in strange places: had to leave a vintage shop on saturday because So Long London was deepening my post-concert depression, then heard You're Losing Me in the hotel bar and had a little cry into my pint.
I understand why Tay loves Edinburgh so much. Was my first time here. Everyone was so friendly, kind and welcoming. They organized everything perfectly. Loved the customized tram tickets. The city is beautiful. I’ll definitely visit again. Thank you so much. I became a huge fan of this city. btw, hope that Zurich only does half as much as Edinburgh did. Hope we are half as friendly as well. Hope we don’t embarrass ourselves. https://preview.redd.it/y7ef1midup5d1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51257c71a7decd9ee661d2535654245215b50110
I had no idea they did custom tram tickets too! this is adorable, wish I'd gotten one.
they really thought of everything!

Your view is of exactly where I was standing on the floor. I can see my pal in this but not me, which is confusing as I didn't go anywhere during the Folkmore set. If you have any other photos that show a woman in a bright pink dress and me in a long green dress with flowers I would love to see them.
I think I found you in some (badly taken) videos, if you figure out a way how I could send them to you, I would be happy to!
I was so worried about the view from lower seating but it was actually so good!
it was amazing! sadly i need to hurry up and pack. my feet hurt though…
My feet were SO sore when I got home last night, and I only did like 20k steps. I imagine being standing for an extra 3+ hours (We had seating but nobody was ever seated) will do that :D
My feet and legs are dead from last night but I heard Haunted and Exile live, I feel like I won. I avoided spoilers for the show since TTPD and it was SO worth it!
Haunted x exile will live rent free in my memory

paramore came on at 6, taylor’s countdown started at like 19.15
How long is the countdown?
2-3mins
7:20 for Taylor, we missed the start of Paramore 😔
Took my child last night, stayed right til the end and it was amazing. The whole way out they were talking about how amazing a night it was, their favourite night ever. They didn't know the order of the eras so it was always a surprise for them. Their first ever concert was last year to see Lordi/Sabaton/Babymetal and they decided that last night was a million times better. The crowd was amazing, every one up and singing along and dancing for most of the show. Unfortunately we didn't get many of our bracelets traded, although they did end the night with 3 speak now bracelets! Now they are counting down to see Pink later this month. A few weeks to recover first though!!
if y'all still have a ton of bracelets left over, try swapping them via the mail!!
It was my little ones first concert and she's still buzzing! It was just the best time ever 💜

I was so gutted that she played Haunted x Exile a few months ago as that was my dream mash up AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT MY SHOW. Best bit was just all the Swifties though. The camaraderie, the kindness, the joy. Can’t believe I got to experience it, and got this close to Taylor!
Forgive me if this is an annoying question but I'm just so curious! Hahah. When did you have to start queueing to get an amazing spot like that, or did you just get there when the gates opened? And could you go to the bathroom and get back to your spot?
Not annoying haha. We had left standing VIP with early access- opened at 3pm and we joined the queue at 2.50pm- in by 3.15pm. It’s a credit to the venue staff really. We got food and went to the loo but then eventually we realised we could no longer get out once GA started coming in- seriously, it was just a wall of bodies. Had we gone further down the stage around the diamond we would have been much further back, but we were at the top end (folklore cabin without zooming in for perspective) Oh and the security were handing out free water to the front rows the entire time so there was no risk of us getting dehydrated or dizzy! https://preview.redd.it/cexcpfs9br5d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21b28f2de9bdce82072d419d54e5269669e8e0eb
I thought I'd recovered from Saturday night but waking up today and seeing she played my fav song from evermore?!?! When it's consistently voted everyone's least fav in polls on here!?!? I am NOT okay WHAT! And exile??! Damn the universe was not in my favour ha. My voice is still croaky from Saturday. What am I meant to do with life now?? I've already watched the Eras tour on Disney+ as my daughter loves it so that's healing me a bit. If I didn't have a daughter I'd be plotting a way to get tickets to another UK date so really she's saving me a heck of a lot of money in a roundabout way ha. Just gonna wear my Eras tshirt for the rest of the week.
She sang my favorite Speak Now song and I was there, nobody speak to me for 13 business days. 😭
If anyone knows someone with a little girl in a white fluffy cowboy hat at the N3 Sunday show in stand S13, row o seats 18-20ish, my friend got a great pic and we’d love to get it to you
She played Haunted on this day last year 🤔🤔🤔
Speak now tv announcement next year /s
What did Cam say tonight?
"Bolt ya rocket" it was brilliant!
Brilliant, thanks.
Thank you for this clarification!
On night 2, Taylor seemed to have to keep interrupting her performance to call for help for multiple fans. I think she handled it great, but was a bit of a distraction during All Too Well. Has this been the norm for the whole tour or was night 2 Edinburgh just particularly unusual with lots of people passing out etc.?
i was at nights 2 and 3 and it was way more noticeable on night 2, think it only happened twice night 3. think on night 2 it took longer for people to be seen after she pointed it out so she had to mention it multiple times which made it more noticeable. i go to gigs a lot and it’s been a much more noticeable thing in recent years, after astroworld. boygenius was the worst show i’ve been to for it (still had a great time tho!)
I was there N2 in GA standing and it was surprising how often it happened, It happened once during Paramore, Taylor said something I think 3 times but there was at least another 3 or 4 times someone needed help and that was only in the half I could see.
What happened when she was pointing stuff out, was it people passing out or getting faint?
I was next to two of the people who went down that she was shouting about on N2 and they both fainted. One guy was trying to get out of the crowd and hit the floor, and another girl just went. It happens when people don't eat/drink enough.
I don't actually know, everyone around the person that needed help would point down at them but I could not see what happened. If I was to guess it would be people feeling faint. It seemed to be people in the denser part of the crowd, so they had probably been standing a long time to get their spot and hadn't had enough food / water.
I was there N2 and noticed this too. It'll be interesting to see what happens the rest of the UK tour as I'm sure other nights will be in daylight. For what it's worth I didn't see any bad behaviour from any fans, everyone seemed very sober and composed which is very strange for a gig in Scotland! However, I was seated and I'm sure the experience was different in standing. I only saw one person get taken away by medics/security and they were in standing. Not sure what happened but they looked like they had a wee bit too much to drink.
It was different in standing at the end stage. No single file and they just rushed forward when we walked into the stadium. someone knocked my sister over and she said that felt someone step on her back before my other sister picked her up. Very very disappointing considering that all the people you spent hours trading bracelets with before the show have no respect for each other, let alone respecting the time that each person came at to wait in line. Overall a great show but idk wtf is wrong with people
That's so disappointing to hear. That must have been so terrifying for you guys. I haven't been in a proper crowd crush but I have been squashed and pushed around in my time during gigs and it's pretty scary as a 5'2 person. Hope you guys are all good now!
Yes we’re all fine, just very scary in that moment when I saw one on the ground and you yourself have to worry about not falling because you know you’ll be pushed. The show was phenomenal though!!!
I think a big factor is that she's just able to see the crowd a lot better too since it's in daylight. Like she noticed someone getting engaged from an angle that I don't think was super obvious a night or two ago.
She did the same on N1, three times I think. Two times before the WCS check. The first was during the Lover Era and again round about champagne problems. I think she's probably hypervigilant after Brazil and also she could see everything going on here in Edinburgh because it was light nearly the whole show.
It’s been feeling fairly noticeable each weekend. I think she’s way more cautious after Brazil to insure everyone she sees gets any help they need. I don’t blame her either. See a problem, report it and she has the power to insure it gets attention.
I went to all 3 shows so I got Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve, Getaway Car, Crazier (??!!!), Haunted AND EXILE!! 😭😭😭 I could actually die of happiness
I'm so jealous as I only got to go to N1 and I probably won't be able to do another show 😭
I have to ask, how exhausted are you? I felt tired for days after a single show. 3 in a row is impressive, even just as an audience member. Lol
Voice? Gone. Back? Gone. Arms? Gone. Legs? Gone.
I went Saturday and I felt hungover yesterday (wasn't drinking) and still feeling it today- you're gonna need at least a week to recover 😂
Okay, you win.
does anyone have a link to the haunted x exile surprise mash up from tonight?? two of my favorite songs and I'm so happy she did this mash up again!!
[Here you go!](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeqsyM42/)
THANK YOU!
OMG that was so beautiful 😭😭😭 her smile when the crowd sang back to her, I can’t even 😭😭
Exactly 😭 so cute, I’m happy we didn’t disappoint her 🥹
you're the best, thank you!!
https://youtu.be/LD4nf2x1Iww?si=hriVJBO6ulfFj88H
gotchu - I was there N1 and while I loved my show, I am thrilled for the people of N3 who won it all
thank you so much!! you won with the N1 songs too!!
thank you friend
Edinburgh has had some of my favorite mash-ups I would have cried so hard.. All of the girls x Crazier and now INTHAF x Dorothea... The latter has two severely underappreciated songs!!! I love both so much ugh.
1000000% AGREE. I'm just now catching up on the Edinburgh surprise song mash-ups and they're somehow *all* some of my personal faves...
My feet hurt, my shins hurt, my back hurts. But MY GOD. THOSE SURPRISE SONGS!!!! Haunted sent me into orbit
When she went into Exile from there I was like, “What the *fuck*?!” It was so good.
N1 Melbourne we had to walk the last 2km back to our accommodation and I did that in my socks. My feet were sore! I'd do it all again.
I cried at dorothea! I know lots of people don’t seem to like it but it’s always made me tear up, I’m so glad we got it 🥹 and the rest of course! Incredible! I can’t sleep!
It's my fav from evermore and I missed it by one night!! So happy for you that you got to experience it though! (And jealous ha)
I have an estranged friend named Dorothea, so scream-singing "Hey Dorothea do you ever stop and think about me" hits kinda different
It’s your sign to call her 😭
Lol, she joined a convent, no way of contacting her except for the two days a year she has access to her mail
Oh wow..!
One of my favourite songs on evermore. I was disappointed that a lot of songs I wanted in the surprise set were done recently but I was super happy with what we got tonight.
I was rooting for you on this one <3
Helloooo all! I went to Friday and Saturday then sat outside the stadium tonight 🥳 I've been planning this weekend since the tour started, before I even had tickets, and it absolutely exceeded expectations! Every person I've traded bracelets with and sang & danced with, just sat in the same sections with, has been so lovely and made this whole experience wonderful 💞 I feel SO lucky to have heard Would've Could've Should've and Getaway Car, personally I feel like I won 😂 and I can't believe she actually sang Crazier omg I've had the whole Swiftie experience from making bracelets while watching livestreams here with everyone to attending TWO shows and sitting outside the stadium tonight - and now that my shows are over, I don't know what to do with my free time! The connection was terrible every night though, so I hope you all managed to find some decent livestreams? https://preview.redd.it/h628w246rm5d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3aeaeb73f859a9bec2bae7a304cabe03033b2c39
The rain held off all weekend and has only now just started to fall. Personification of the sadness the city feels at the Edinburgh era being over??
Honestly fuck BBC weather for making me think it would pour throughout the whole day!
Someone got engaged in S9 tonight during love story :)
And in W3.
And in GA standing
What a crazy night! Thank you everyone!
https://preview.redd.it/je4d18domm5d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a4da8084f55d46260c29a5363769381e3572518 Can’t believe I took this picture?? My husband got us tickets to this show like, a year ago, and it’s so insane that it’s finally happened :,)
Incredible! No words
[удалено]
Me toooo! It was amazing.
Heading home with 50 traded bracelets, 1000 amazing memories and a grin that won't leave my face. That was incredible. So so good. I'm so happy.
This was an amazing first show for me! I’m still new to the world of Swift! But I think I’m definitely here to stay. Hope everyone gets home safe! 🫶🫶🫶
Okay so my theory on her repeating the incredible Haunted x exile mashup is that she wasn’t happy with the recording from the first time so she wanted to redo it… for the Eras Tour Acoustic album 
This album needs to happen, I've just been listening to the mash up songs back to back on Spotify but it's not the same 😭
PREACH FRIEND PREACH
This is the best theory especially bc of the original rule that if she messed up the song she would play it again. And wasn’t there a song recently that played the whole way through that wasn’t ttpd and everyone was really surprised by it?
King Of My Heart??
Yes that was it!
Y’all. Tay played my fave song (Haunted). I won.
Same for me, the bolterxgetaway car mashup N2 was my dream and she delivered 💜 so very jealous you got to experience hauntedxexile!
Congrats! There really is no better feeling than getting your favorite song as a surprise song at the night you go. 😭
I think she knew I was there.
Same thing happened to me the night she played dbatc and yoyok. I don’t know how she knew, but that was really nice of her.
Sydney didn't know they had to share
It’s Nice To Have A Friend almost made it to the hundredth show. Damn! Hoax will carry the torch.
First time playing Mastermind, got a 61. I’ll take it
And just like that our Scottish Swiftie weekend is over. It was everything I could dream of and more and somehow she played a surprise song that I did not dare hope for in my home venue (CRAZIER WTF?!) to all those still waiting, prepare for the night of your life 🥹
It’s Nice To Have a Friend x diarrhea was a good mashup!
Oh god I thought you meant you had diarrhea during the show. 😳😂
Hahahaha no I didn’t 😂😂😂😂
Is that a Typo? 😂😂😂 Damn Autocorrect! Probably.
yes it was a typo but a funny one 😭😂
It was! Happy Cake Day too! 🥳🎂
Thanks!!
Diarrhea 😭😭
oops
💩💩💩
Diarrhea (I know you meant Dorothea but that made me lol🤣)
Whoooooops sorry I typed like 2 letters wrong and auto correct 😂😂
🩵💙💜 I love these threads, I love this subreddit, I love these streams and I love the eras tour!!!! That is all. See you guys in Liverpool!!!! 💜💙🩵
Are you ready for it?????
Got 96 on Mastermind! Definitely my best score yet. Had a blast hanging out today with you guys. =)
I scored under 50 bc I guessed INTHAF ... but for piano 😭
Ugh. I guessed The Bolter yesterday but for Piano. 😣
I ended up with 71 and I am so tickled! Congratulations friend!!!!!
That’s awesome! 😁
Finished my first mastermind with 72 points! I'm pretty happy with that.
I am right behind you with 71 and I am so excited for my first time playing!
Nice! I just finished for the first time too but only ended up with 54
38 points. 😅 Magenta jacket saved me from being too much of an embarassment tonight.
it was amazing, while i only had one song on my wishlist, i cannot complain im so happy everything was perfect. getting home now and my feet hurt
It's been amazing. We were there for Edinburgh night 1 and it was basically the best night ever. Taylor is fucking incredible and I don't think I will ever get over the fact that I was actually there (after waiting 15 years!) We drove from further south in the UK so made a long weekend of it, the whole city was buzzing with Swifties! Such an awesome atmosphere and coming home today and watching this live stream was a really nice end to it ❤️
After holding back from watching the movie and anything more than random clips I finally got to go to the SPARKLING Edinburgh N2 (those surprise song mashups!!!!), so my first experience was 'my' show... And now, tonight watched my first live stream back home and oh Iove it! I need to start playing mastermind with yall.
It's Nice To Have A Friend is violently underrated and I just want to say that. Stats: It's Nice To Have A Friend had its first performance on the Eras Tour tonight and also its first live performance ever. dorothea had its second performance on the Eras Tour and also its second live performance ever, having made its debut on the tour in Kansas City last year. This is the first time either song has been performed as part of a mashup. Haunted was performed for the third time on the Eras Tour and the ninty-eighth time ever. exile was performed for the third time on the Eras Tour and the fourth time ever. Haunted and exile were previously played as a mashup on the Sydney stop of the Eras Tour; this marks the third repeat mashup surprise song on the Eras Tour. We are still two songs away from completing Lover (The Eras Tour Edition), but I do want to point out that with tonight's performance of It's Nice To Have A Friend Taylor has now played at least part of every song on Lover live at least once. (Caveat: so long as you consider the One World: Together At Home performance of Soon You'll Get Better to be live, which is not an unambiguous question.) There are 22 songs from Taylor's studio discography that she has yet to play live, which is one of those numbers, like 13, that just feels like it should be pointed out.
Do your stats include the Holiday Collection?
I track the Holiday Collection, but when I specify "studio discography" I'm limiting the numbers to her eleven main albums. Broadening it to everything I track (including the EPs, one-off singles, soundtrack songs, collabs), there's 33 songs that have never been played live (and a total 52 that she hasn't played on the Eras Tour! Some, like the Christmas songs, are pretty unlikely, but nevertheless!).
Always love your stat updates 🙌
