Taylor Swift Recaps the Eras Tour’s ‘Wild Weekend’ in Dublin: ‘Still Smiling Thinking About It’
Taylor Swift is all smiles following her three-night Eras Tour stint in Dublin over the weekend, which the pop star recapped in a thank-you note to fans on Instagram Tuesday (July 2).
Sharing a carousel of photos of her performing on stage at Aviva Stadium June 28-30, Swift wrote, “I knew as soon as I saw the first Dublin crowd on Friday night that we were in for a wild weekend.”
“The spirit of those 3 glorious crowds embodied fun and joy and exuberance, and we just felt so lucky to be there,” she added in her caption. “The Irish fans made us feel so at home, so welcome in every way. Still smiling thinking about it now. 🇮🇪 See you soon, Amsterdam!!”
As the “Fortnight” singer pointed out, she is next slated to bring her trek to the Netherlands. She’ll play three back-to-back shows at Johan Cruyff Arena starting Thursday (July 4), after which she’ll take off for Switzerland.
Swift’s stay in Dublin was certainly memorable, with the superstar at one point debuting her Tortured Poets Department track “Clara Bow” in front of Stevie Nicks, who is referenced in the song. With the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman in the crowd, Swift also performed Midnights‘ “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” which Nicks has previously credited with helping her grieve late bandmate Christine McVie.
“The reason I want to play this tonight is because a friend of mine is here,” Swift told the crowd at the time. “She’s a hero of mine. I could tell her any secret; she’d never tell anybody.”
After the final show, the “Karma” artist hung out with boyfriend Travis Kelce, Nicks and Paramore at Hacienda bar in Dublin. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end had previously entered the VIP tent halfway through the concert, appearing to cause Swift to light up with a big smile as she noticed him arrive.
