On her record-breaking tour, Taylor Swift showed professionalism by performing with a runny nose in Edinburgh, despite wiping her nose on her dress. Her three shows at Murrayfield Stadium drew 219,000 fans, with some blaming the cold 46°F weather for her discomfort.
Fans had mixed reactions; some were upset about her nose-wiping, while others sympathized, noting she likely didn’t have tissues on hand. Swift’s UK tour kicked off with three nights in Edinburgh, followed by stops at Wembley, Cardiff, and Liverpool, totaling 50 shows across 18 European cities.
Swift’s tour has boosted the British economy, with fans spending an estimated £848 each on tickets, lodging, and merchandise. High ticket demand led to struggles for UK fans, partly due to American fans purchasing tickets, benefiting from a strong dollar and lower European prices. So far, 4.35 million tickets have been sold globally for the tour.
