Scotland is sharing a pointed message aimed at Swifties preparing to travel to its capital ahead of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
The 34-year-old international pop superstar embarked on the European leg of her tour last month, and in just a few days, she'll be arriving in Edinburgh for a string of sold-out shows planned for this upcoming weekend.
With her first of three concerts kicking off on Friday, June 7, at Murrayfield Stadium, the city's officials are warning fans of the 14-time Grammy winner what not to do before and after her shows in a notice posted to the city council's website titled "Edinburgh gets Taylored."
"We are delighted that Taylor Swift has chosen to bring her tour to our city. We know she and all her loyal Swifties will enjoy true Scottish hospitality and receive a warm welcome to our capital city," the message began.
The official statement went on, sharing a few reminders with Swifties, including that they should "Only travel to Scottish Gas Murrayfield and the surrounding area if you have a ticket," citing a trend that's taken off around the globe where fans without tickets gather in the street outside the arenas to trade friendship bracelets and enjoy the show from afar.
Council members have also asked concertgoers to plan ahead, as public transportation will be crowded and overnight accommodations–like hotel rooms and Airbnbs–are extremely limited.
The post also reminded Swifties to remain mindful of their surroundings while traveling to and from the show. "Please remember, on your way to the stadium, you will be passing through streets where people live. Please respect their homes."
It wasn't all in bad faith, though, as the people who know Edinburgh best also put together several all-inclusive guides for Swifties looking to experience the culture of Scotland's capital city at its most-toured attractions and must-see spots.
