During a show in Edinburgh, Scotland, part of the Eras tour, Taylor Swift debuted two songs live for the first time ever as part of her surprise songs section of her changing setlist. For the first of her two debuts, Swift performed ‘The Bolter’. She turned it into a mash-up with ‘Getaway Car’. The second song was “Crazier”, which had only ever been released on the soundtrack for the Hannah Montana Movie. She coupled the track with ‘All Of The Girls You Loved Before’.
The first Edinburgh show received a glowing five-star review from NME, which noted how Taylor Swift and her fans have managed to cultivate a community despite being an arena show. Strangers swap friendship bracelets, laugh and cry together, and embrace the tour’s in-jokes and lore such as shouting “one, two, three, let’s go bitch” during ‘Delicate’. It is the power of Swift, an artist who’s inspired countless fans to come out and embrace being part of the Eras family. With The Eras Tour, she has managed to craft a marvel of a show that comes with a beating heart.
Following the remaining Edinburgh shows, she will play three shows in Liverpool from June 13-15, one night in Cardiff on June 18, and three in London’s Wembley Stadium on June 18-22. She then heads to Dublin before taking the tour around Europe.
