Taylor Swift plays last Dublin show on sold-out Eras Tour
Taylor Swift has taken to the stage for the last Dublin show on her sold-out Eras Tour.
The US singer’s three-night performance will see 150,000 Swifties at the Aviva stadium between Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the most lucrative set of concerts in history.
She is playing the final of her three blockbuster Eras Tour dates in Dublin before heading back to Europe.
On Saturday night Swift appeared to be caught off guard by the “actually crazy” reaction from Irish fans to her show, saying she would remember it for the rest of her life.
She was treated to fans chanting “ole, ole, ole” for a lengthy period during Saturday’s show, and Swift seemed surprised by the reaction, according to social media videos.
Swift told the audience: "Oh my god, here's the thing, we've done like I dunno, we've done like 110 shows on this tour, something like that and like this ... this is the first time like, I really don't know what to say, my band and I are just looking at each other with our mouths hanging open.
"That was actually crazy, like we're trying to be prepared, but we're not prepared for the level that you're on, Dublin."
She also said: "What you just did for us, we'll remember for the rest of our lives. We love you so much."
Swift also played a mash-up of her songs This Love and Ours, as well as The Albatross and Dancing With Our Hands Tied during the gig as her surprise tracks.
On Friday she told fans that it was five years since she had last visited Ireland.
"Nobody does it like you. You know that right?" she said, going on to call Irish people "unmatched storytellers", adding they had the "best accents".
During a rendition of her chart-topper We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, a dancer told the crowd "Pog mo thoin" - a cheeky Irish-language phrase meaning 'kiss my ass'.
She is heading to Amsterdam's Johan Cruyff Arena for her next three shows, running from Thursday to Saturday.
Swift will then plays dates in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland and Austria before returning to the UK in August for five nights at Wembley Stadium in London.
