Alongside Attenborough's video, he wrote: " Taylor Swift concerts are inclusive to everyone A friend sent me this clip and I want to highlight the great work of Performance Interpreting a great organisation who provided live BSL interpretation at Taylor Swift's show in Edinburgh #TheErasTour How awesome is this?" On the clip, he said the hard-working interpreter was "one of the legends" at Taylor's show, "a love story we can see".

Fans flocked to the comments, with one writing: "After teaching my daughter with Down Syndrome sign language....I so appreciate the inclusiveness of this." While a second said: "This is wonderful. How good is the girl doing the interpretation. Fantastic."

"I watched from my stand and was so impressed," a third added. "The fact these signers (much like security) were facing away from Taylor Swift all night...that must take a heckofalot of willpower." Someone else said: "I feel like you almost have to be a swiftie to be able to do this so quickly, you can tell she just knows it lol."

A final said: "Honestly, this is one of the most impressive, amazing and inclusive videos. I'm glad that everyone can enjoy Taylor as well as a lot of other shows. A huge thank-you to all of your interpreters @PerformInterp, as you all are highly talented and energetic."

Performance Interpreting replied to Jon's video, writing: "Thank you for sharing Jon, and raising awareness of our service. It’s important that everyone knows this access is always available for request as not all promoters will embed it automatically."

How to buy Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets

fans looking at resale tickets for the upcoming Eras Tour in the UK can purchase them from from a number of online retailers 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.

Although the above sellers, including and, are not "official" retailers, they do have a number of strict terms and conditions in place to keep ticket buyers and ticket sellers safe.
