How European cities are welcoming Taylor Swift during her tour

Each city on swift’s entirely sold-out tour is trying to welcome the musical star in style.

By Sarah Gambles

Taylor Swift is making her way through Europe right now. She’s in the middle of a massive 152-city tour called The Eras Tour.

She’s already broken records, like in Lyon, France, where she broke the attendance record in the city for a female performer during her sold-out show.

“This is overall my very first trip to Lyon and look at what you’ve done,” Swift said during the show, per USA Today . “You broke that record.”

It’s Swift’s first time performing in many of the European cities — Stockholm, Sweden, was so excited about her arrival, the city’s capital temporarily renamed itself “Swiftholm.”

Here’s how European cities are welcoming Taylor Swift to town:

Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh crafted Taylor Swift branding for one of its trams that travels to and from the stadium where Swift will be performing.

It’s not the only train taking on the Swift name. “The Flying Scotsman” train rebranded itself temporarily as “The Flying Swiftie,” which will include “on-train and station announcements,” and Swifties will be able to purchase discounted refreshments, “thanks to a special Flying Swiftie discount,” Rail UK reported.

“We know thousands of people will be travelling to see Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour this summer and it fills us with Happiness to be carrying so many of them in Style,” Stuart Thomas, communications director at LNER, said . “We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to celebrate the tour arriving in the UK and so our special Flying Swiftie service will say ‘So Long, London’ at 10am — packed with fans heading for the first night in Edinburgh.”
