Taylor Swift congratulated a couple who got engaged during her record-breaking Eras tour's opening night in Edinburgh, Scotland, calling it "amazing".
She lauded the exuberant crowd at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh as making the concert "the most highly attended stadium show in Scottish history". During the magical summer evening, Swift spotted and recognised a couple in the audience who had just got engaged.
"I'm pretty sure I just saw someone who got engaged. Did it happen? Yeah? " she asked excitedly before adding: "Congratulations. Wow. Man, that's amazing. Thank you for doing that at my concert. That's a big moment. Huge." Dazzling in a blue and silver sequinned bodysuit, the billionaire songstress performed an ensemble of numbers from her diverse musical eras - sticking to the fresh rhythm set for her European gigs.
Sharing with her fans that she had not been able to perform in Scotland for nearly ten years, she expressed her uncertainties about what this experience would be like. However, ahead of her performance, she was informed that she was going to make history: "We've checked this 20 times and this is the most highly attended stadium show in Scottish history."

Illustrating the energy of her fans, she admitted: "The volume of singing. The dancing. You guys are performing on another level. I can't stop looking at the crowd. Like, I'm captivated." Sporting a sequinned T-shirt emblazoned with the words "This is not Taylor's version" while belting out her hit "22," she handed her black fedora to a young fan who was dressed similarly.
She continued to heap praise on Scotland during the Evermore and Folklore segment of the show, quipping that post-lockdown life was "so much TV, so much white wine, covered in cat hair" and that she "escaped into" an "imaginary world which I now realise is just based on videos I've seen online of Scotland".
A massive crowd of nearly 73,000 fans flocked to the stadium in Edinburgh for the first of three nights, with the tour set to continue through Liverpool, Cardiff, London, and Dublin.
How to get tickets to the Eras Tour
Taylor Swift tickets are up for grabs on resale sites right now. Sites such as viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double-check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale - such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation - to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
With that said, viagogo also commented: “viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the freedom to buy and sell tickets to their favourite live events, safely and securely, backed by a guarantee.”
The most available Eras Tour tickets are on viagogo and Vivid Seats. If you would rather look at official channels to buy tickets, Ticketmaster could be your best bet. The retailer's official resale service attempts to combat rising prices on the second-hand market. However, there are few options.
