Taylor Swift congratulated a couple that got engaged on the opening night of her ‘Eras’ tour in Edinburgh over the weekend.

During the first of three consecutive shows at Murrayfield Stadium on Friday (June 7), she spotted the couple while she was performing ‘Cardigan’. You can watch the moment below.

“I love performing this entire show in the sunlight because I’m pretty sure I just saw somebody get engaged over here,” she said before pointing out the couple involved. “Did it happen? Yes! You have no idea, I never get to see that because it’s dark usually. But it’s not right now, so congratulations! I just saw that whole thing. Man, that’s amazing.

“Thanks for doing that at my concert! That’s a big moment.”

NME gave the show a glowing five-star review, writing: “Despite being an arena show, in a huge, cavernous venue, Swift and her fans have managed to cultivate a community. Strangers swap friendship bracelets, laugh and cry together, and embrace the tour’s in-jokes and lore (for example shouting “one, two, three, let’s go bitch” during ‘Delicate’).

“It’s the power of Swift, an artist who’s inspired not only the renaming of a Scottish Loch, but also countless fans to come out and embrace being a part of the Eras family. With The Eras Tour, then, Swift’s managed to craft a marvel of a show that comes with a beating heart.”

During the second night (June 8), Swift also debuted two songs – ‘The Bolter’, ‘Crazier’ – live for the first time ever as part of her surprise songs section of her ever-changing setlist.

She will now 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 on June 28, before taking the tour around Europe.
