It was recently reported that she’ll break the record for the country’s biggest show, beating Harry Styles who played to a Scottish crowd in 2023.
Of those attending, it’s expected many will be taking a plus one along with them – whether that’s a parent, sibling or partner – who might draw a Blank Space in Taylor’s repertoire.
The one-off course will take place at Glasgow Clyde College’s Langside Campus on May 7 from 6-7:30pm in the Innovation Centre.
Robert Anderson, Curriculum Assistant Principal at Glasgow Clyde College said: ‘Taylor mania doesn’t seem to be slowing anytime soon, and we expect it’ll reach its peak here in Scotland in June.
‘We understand that not everyone will be up to speed on all things Taylor and might not get the full Eras experience.
‘That’s why we created this masterclass – to prepare those who’ll be heading along to the gig with their superfan kids, friends or partners to ensure they have just as memorable a time.
‘Taylor’s gigs are known for being so well crafted, and unless you’re a fan yourself, you might miss some of the iconic moments.
‘Our expert will take you through everything you need to know – leaving you a Swiftie in no time.’
