Bleary-eyed Taylor Swift fans told this morning how they carried on partying into the early hours after last night’s ‘electric’ three-and-a-half-hour concert which was among the best they have ever seen.
A carnival-like atmosphere took over the streets of Edinburgh after the U.S pop megastar kicked off the UK leg of her sellout Eras Tour with a flawless showstopper of a performance in which she told the adoring 73,000-strong crowd: ‘What a way to welcome a lass to Scotland.’
The 34-year-old drove fans wild when she emerged at Murrayfield Stadium in her signature blue and gold sequined leotard following a riotous warm-up from American pop-punk band Paramore.
Over the course of 46 songs, Taylor shook off a cramp in her hand, witnessed a live proposal, gifted a fan her hat and even suspended a tune so fans could receive medical aid – all in between 12 costume changes.
Now, fans have been seen queuing as early as 7am this morning for tonight’s second gig while most people are ‘still in bed’ recovering.

Jessica McCloud, 41 and her daughter Alexis, 15, had flown from their home in Houston, Texas into the Scottish capital last week especially for the gig.
