After what feels like the longest wait, it is only a matter of days before Taylor Swift's huge Eras Tour finally arrives in the UK! The singer kicked off the tour in March last year - playing more than 130 dates to millions of fans across the world.
And starting from Friday, June 7, she will be playing 15 dates at four of the UK's biggest stadiums. It includes three nights at both Edinburgh's BT Murrayfield and Liverpool's Anfield stadiums, one show at the Cardiff Principality Stadium and eight nights at London's Wembley Stadium.
The tour's three-and-a-half hour set - which features 45 songs, stunning visuals and glitzy outfits - celebrates Taylor's 20-year career so far. It honours 10 of her studio albums - from her second release Fearless to the recently-unveiled The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD).

Set list for the Eras Tour
Taylor recently kicked off the Europe leg of her Eras Tour, which of course includes the all important UK tour dates. She also made some big changes to the set list following the release of her album The Tortured Poets Department.
For example, in Paris, fans were surprised with the Midnight's track "Paris" and one of her new songs from the Tortured Poets Department, "Loml". So we could expect some surprises here in the UK too!
We've put together 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.

Stage times and support acts
There may be different stage times and support acts for each venue, so it is always worth checking for which venue you will be attending. Paramore will be supporting Taylor Swift for all of the UK shows - they are known for anthems like Misery Business and Hard Times.
Paramore's line-up has changed over the years, and currently consists of vocalist Hayley Williams, lead guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. Mette, Griff and Benson Boone will also be joining her for the London shows.
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
- 8pm - Taylor Swift
- 11pm - Curfew
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.

Seating plan for each stadium
The seating plans for each stadium show were released last year, back when tickets went on sale, to give fans an idea of what their view of the stage would be like. See below for a full list of the seating plans at London's Wembley Arena, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, Edinburgh's BT Murrayfield Arena and Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
Edinburgh's BT Murrayfield Stadium
The address for this stadium is Roseburn St, Edinburgh EH12 5PJ. There will be huge interest here given this is where the UK leg of the tour kicks off.
Liverpool's Anfield Stadium
The home of Liverpool FC, the address for this stadium is Anfield Rd, Anfield, Liverpool L4 0TH.
Cardiff Principality Stadium
A great venue right in the heart of the city centre so should be fairly easy to walk to from the main station. Amazing for rugby games, I am sure it will be equally so for Taylor.
The address is: Westgate St, Cardiff CF10 1NS
London's Wembley Stadium
This huge venue will be exceptional for this gig. Accessible by most modes of transport but be aware if you are travelling on Chiltern Trains just check as some trains won't be stopping at Wembley from the north so you will have to go into Marylebone first.
The address is: London HA9 0WS
Bags policy for each stadium
Only small bags are permitted to all of the stadiums hosting Taylor Swift's UK concerts. However, the definition of small bag differs from each stadium! Here's the latest bags policies:
- Edinburgh (June 7 to 9): No bags larger than A4 size (21cm x 30cm). Fans are advised to bring only essential items.
- Liverpool (June 13 to 15): Only A5 size or smaller (17cm x 30cm) bags are allowed, or bags purchased from the stadium.
- Cardiff (June 18): Small bags only, no larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm.
- London (June 21 to 23 and August 15 to 20): No bags larger than A4 size (297mm x 210mm x 210mm), and each person can bring only one small bag.
How to find Taylor Swift resale tickets
Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans who can no longer attend the shows. At the time of writing, both sites have hundreds of Taylor Swift tickets across all 15 UK dates.
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. With that said, Viagogo also commented: "Viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee."
Viagogo's ticket guarantee assures buyers: "When you purchase tickets on Viagogo, Viagogo guarantees that you will receive the tickets you paid for in time for the event. In the rare instance that a problem arises and the original ticket seller does not provide you with the tickets listed for sale, Viagogo will, in its discretion, review comparably priced tickets and offer you replacement tickets at no additional cost, or Viagogo will issue you a refund for the cost of the tickets.
"'Comparably priced' replacement tickets are determined by Viagogo in its discretion. When you sell tickets on Viagogo, provided you provide the exact tickets listed for sale and the ticket buyer successfully gains entry to the event, Viagogo guarantees that you will be paid for your sale."
