THE only Taylor Swift in Scotland has made a last ditch appeal for a ticket into  the star's opening concert in Edinburgh.

We told how the 19-year-old from Newarthill, Lanarkshire, has struggled to get work because she was born with the same name as the Cruel Summer star.

But the teen - who was skint when the gold dust briefs went on sale - is hoping someone might have a spare ticket for tonight's show at Murrayfield, Edinburgh.

She says she now has the cash.

And she is desperate to get one for tonight's gig after her girlfriend Kelsey Thomson, 18, managed to secure a last minute seat.

She hopes the singer might even read about her plight and get her in the stadium along with almost 200,000 other fans this weekend.

The former chip shop and factory worker said: "I'm gutted I can't get a ticket. I would really like one if someone had a spare ticket going.

"They are like gold dust. If you do, maybe you could think of me because my name is Taylor Swift. My girlfriend just got a ticket for tonight, so if anyone has one please get in touch.

"Even if it was Taylor Swift's people. I feel like she would reach out if she knew. I've seen her reaching out to so many people."

The teenager says she is buzzing at the idea of her idol being so nearby.

Hundreds turned out to buy merchandise from stalls set up outside the venue yesterday and Wednesday.

Thousands of fans are set to descend on the stadium today.

And Taylor is due to take to the stage for the first time tonight.

Some fans are expected to turn up to try and hear the singer's hits from outside.

Taylor says she intends to travel to Murrayfield, Edinburgh, this weekend to soak up the atmosphere and mingle with fans.

She added: "I'm really excited.

"I think that's crazy she will be only forty miles away from me. 

"It will be a good atmosphere even if I don't get in. 

"I will go out to the pub if not. I'll sing karaoke and sing Taylor Swift songs myself."

We told how Taylor - who is a huge Taylor Swift fan - was named by mum  Mairi Rice and dad Peter Swift - both 43 - two years before Taylor shot to worldwide stardom.

But she revealed prospective employers don't believe her name is genuine when she applies for roles making it tricky to get a job.

Staff at airports and taxi drivers are also sceptical her name is real.

But despite the pitfalls she would not change her name and adores the Love Story idol.
