Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour, European leg

Taylor Swift’s Eras tour is likely to be the biggest pop event of the year – again. Given
most of us have already seen half of it via social media, or the whole of it at the
cinema, you might think sparkly leotards and “Cruel Summer” would be wearing thin
– but you’d be mistaken. Swift fever shows no sign of abating. She kicks off the
European leg on 9 May in Paris, and will tour Sweden, Portugal, Spain and France
before landing in the UK, at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium, on 7 June. Expect
memes, mass hysteria and ironic masochism: the queen of self-aware storytelling
reigns supreme. EBo
