Taylor Swift gave a very noticeable and Sweet NOD to Travis Kelce as She leaves Cardiff entranced with one of the greatest performances Principality Stadium has ever seen.

“Croeso i’r daith Eras!” Welcome to the Eras Tour. Just when you think nothing could make 67,000 Taylor Swift fans more ravenous for the capital’s gig, the icon herself welcomes them in Welsh.

After months of anticipation, it was a full house for the one-night stint of the Eras Tour in Cardiff – a gig that pays homage to 18 years of music. Some fans spent camped outside Principality Stadium from the early hours hoping to get a front-row seat, while others flew from America and beyond to catch a glimpse of the Midnights singer.

And it seemed none were disappointed by the 44-song, three hour long performance that left Ms Swift herself thanking fans for their energy, excitement and generosity.

The show kicked off with Swift, donning a sparkling bodysuit, rising on a pedestal from beneath the stage and launching straight into hit-song Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince. Fans of all ages erupted into a deafening cheer for the country singer turned pop star – so piercing you almost had to cover your ears.

Miss Americana was one of five songs to make up the 2019 Lover era – including Cruel Summer, The Man, You Need to Calm Down and the album’s namesake – and this tour marks the first time the album has been performed live after it was released at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“You and I are about to go on a grand adventure together and it’s going to span 18 years of music,” the 34-year-old told the crowd.
