Taylor Swift fans swooned as the US superstar kicked off three nights of her blockbuster Eras Tour in Dublin with high praise for Ireland and its culture.
“Nobody does it like you. You know that right?” she said, going on to call Irish people “unmatched storytellers”, adding they had the “best accents”. The billion-dollar Eras Tour, which sees the Pennsylvanian singer who first found fame in her teens, play hits across her discography, has travelled through the Americas, Asia and now hits Europe.
Fans sang along with every song, with the lyrics of All Too Well and Lovers reverberating around the Aviva Stadium and echoing out into the nearby streets of south Dublin.Before the show, members of the audience spoke of their love for Swift’s song-writing and the connections she builds with her fanbase through her music.
Earlier on Friday, Irish premier Simon Harris, who is from Wicklow, joked that he had a “bone to pick” with the singer over the lyrics: “I have a bone to pick with Taylor Swift actually. We’re delighted to have her here in Ireland, but she did take a pebble from a beach in Greystones.
