Taylor Swift's highly anticipated performances in Edinburgh this weekend at Murrayfield Stadium has generated a lot of excitement. The Scottish capital warmly welcomed the global superstar with a grand display of traditional Scottish music. Residents organised a performance by The Reel Time Pipe Band, featuring eight Highland bagpipers and three drummers, to greet Swift.
The band spent 32 hours rehearsing a rendition of Swift's hit 'Love Story,' first released in 2008. The video, shared by Scottish Daily Record and Edinburgh Live, showed the band in sequined kilts, matching the attire expected from Swift's fans, known as 'Swifties.'
Pipe Major Roddy Deans said, 'Lots of Taylor’s tunes translate surprisingly well to traditional Scottish instruments. We’re all huge music fans, so we were delighted to help welcome Taylor to Scotland in the best way we know. It’s been a lot of fun recreating Love Story on the bagpipes and putting this ensemble together.'
The video received positive responses from fans, praising the warm welcome. Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' in Edinburgh includes three consecutive nights of performances from June 7 to June 9. The Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium has been temporarily renamed 'Scottish Lass' to honour Swift's visit, according to the Instagram post.
