Taylor Swift concluded her Irish leg of The Eras Tour with a triumphant finale in Dublin, where she performed to an unprecedented 150,000 fans at the Aviva Stadium over three sold-out nights.
Swift expressed her excitement and gratitude to her Irish fans, hailing them for making Eras the first tour ever to achieve a three-night sellout at the venue. Outside the stadium, even those without tickets gathered to catch glimpses of her performance.
Among the notable attendees in the VIP tent were luminaries like Stevie Nicks, Julia Roberts, and Swift’s partner, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Swift honored Nicks by surprising the audience with a rendition of ‘Clara Bow’, a song that references the Fleetwood Mac legend.
Irish celebrities such as Ryan Tubridy, Graham Norton, Brian O’Driscoll, Amy Huberman, and Johnny Sexton were also spotted enjoying Swift’s performances across the three nights.
Swift’s concerts were marked by emotional highs, including a three-minute standing ovation on Friday night, showcasing the deep connection she has with her audience. She also playfully embraced Irish culture during her set, with references to local phrases and a special acknowledgment of Ireland during her hit ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’.
Looking ahead, Swift is set to continue her tour with upcoming shows in Amsterdam, followed by dates across Europe before returning to the UK for a highly anticipated run at London’s Wembley Stadium in August.
