Taylor Swift have kicked off their first ever show in Dublin, Ireland completely sold-out at the Aviva Stadium 🏟️

Taylor Swift brought fans through various ‘eras’ of her career, with songs from each of her albums featuring throughout the over three-hour gig

Making your way into the Aviva Stadium for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, it feels less like a pop concert and more like a community gathering to celebrate all things girlhood.

“I love your dress,” one fan gushed to a stranger kitted out in sequins as friendship bracelets, handmade in their thousands it seems, were exchanged enthusiastically.

A pop juggernaut unlike any other, Swift’s latest tour is the highest-grossing in history and the first ever to surpass $1bn in revenue and the resulting ‘Swiftonimics’ is expected to generate €150m for the local economy in Dublin. And that is evident on the ground: as well as fans from Cork, Kerry, Galway and beyond travelling to Dublin, it seemed there were as many American accents as Irish chattering in the crowd

Thought to be among the VIP guests nearby was Swift’s boyfriend, Kanas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce while sitting in the stands was former Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy who was home from London and spotted snapping selfies and trading bracelets with young fans.

Rock band Paramore warmed up the crowd from 6.10pm with hits like ‘Still Into You’ easily coaxing cheers, with lead vocalist Hayley Williams thrilled to be in Ireland, even wearing a Cranberries t-shirt.
