Ahead of possibly the most anticipated ticket sale of the year (get sharpening those elbows ahead of general sale kicking off on July 19!) Taylor Swift has announced a whole host of extra UK and European dates for her Eras Tour, including additional shows in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, Dublin and London.
The multi-award winning singer, 33, has been performing hit tracks from her back catalogue to sold-out stadiums filled with adoring fans across the US since March, and the Eras tour crosses the Atlantic in 2024.
Swift announced a first batch of international dates back in June, but has now confirmed fourteen additional shows due to the phenomenal demand for her Eras Tour. Warsaw, Vienna, Stockholm and Milan are among the cities getting extra Tay-Tay.
The sad news is that these additional dates officially rule Taylor Swift out of an appearance at Glastonbury 2024, with her diary looking far too full to fit in a visit to Worthy Farm.
The singer tweeted on July 5 confirming the full rundown of additional dates, as well as announcing her special guest and support act Paramore.

For her US dates she is revolving a number of artists to open for her including indie singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers, Paramore, beabadoobee, girl in red, Muna, HAIM, Gayle, Gracie Abrams and Owenn.
Swift recently broken a string of records with her tenth studio album Midnights, which became Spotify’s most streamed album in a single day.
It claimed the biggest first week of UK album sales in 2022 since Adele’s 30 was released in November 2021 and took the title of the most streamed album of the year in its opening week with 72.5 million streams across the seven days.
The record follows after her previous eight UK chart-topping albums, all achieved consecutively: 2012’s Red, 2014 release 1989, 2017’s Reputation, 2019’s Lover, 2020’s Folklore, 2020’s Evermore and re-recordings Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version), both released in 2021.
