Taylor Swift is gearing up to launch the UK leg of her highly-anticipated Eras Tour. The pop sensation will first grace Scotland with a three-night stint in Edinburgh this weekend.
Swifties in Liverpool, Cardiff, and London can also look forward to her performances. If you're planning to catch the star live over the next few weeks, scroll down for all the essential info - from start times and set lists to seating plans and merch prices.
For those still hoping to snag a ticket to one of her shows, last-minute tickets might be available. Consider checking out resale platforms such as Viagogo and VividSeats for potential opportunities.
Last minute tickets
These websites offer a relaxed browsing experience, allowing fans to peruse available tickets at their leisure until they find the perfect match. Here are some handy links for you, as reported by Wales Online.
- TICKETMASTER - Grab your Taylor Swift resale tickets here.
- VIAGOGO - Secure your Taylor Swift resale tickets here.
- VIVIDSEATS - Buy your Taylor Swift resale tickets here.
AXS, one of Taylor Swift's authorised ticket sellers, urged fans to avoid buying resale tickets from unverified sources. A representative for Viagogo told the Mirror: "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.
"Sellers on our marketplace may list tickets at high values when demand is high, but prices can change and tend to reduce over time. We recommend Swifties wait for demand to settle, and check regularly for a listing that meets their budget. Tickets for Taylor Swift's UK dates have already sold for as low as 172 GBP on our platform. Also, tickets listed at eye-catchingly high levels rarely, if ever, sell."
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.
Support acts
Different venues might have different stage times and support acts. It's wise to check the specifics of your venue. Paramore, famous for tracks like Misery Business and Hard Times, is confirmed to be joining Taylor Swift as her opening act for all the UK gigs. Mette, Griff and Benson Boone will also be supporting Taylor during the London concerts.
Stage times
According to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium website, these are the key timings for their three shows:
- 3pm - Gates open for early entry ticketholders
- 4pm - Gates open for everyone else
- 6pm - Show starts
- 7pm - Paramore

Liverpool's Anfield Stadium website is also showing similar stage times on their website. The Wembley Stadium website says more details will be released closer to the event.

Set list for the Eras Tour
After she released her latest studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor made some big changes to the set list by adding brand new songs to her three-hour-long show. These tracks include Smallest Man Who Ever Lives, Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me, LOML and I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.
When Taylor was performing in Paris recently, she also surprised fans by adding her Midnight's tack, Paris, to her set list. It is likely that she may add some more surprise songs for her UK shows.
This is a look at Taylor's set list from her in Paris on May 9 - but this could be subject to change when she comes to Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London.
