The University of Glasgow is hosting a Taylor Swift masterclass for parents ahead of the Era’s tour

A university in Scotland hosted a one-off course for loved ones attending the sold-out Eras Tour to brush up on their Taylor Swift knowledge.

Swift, who kicked off the European leg of her tour in Paris, France last night, arrives in Scotland to perform for three nights at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium next month (June 7-9).

Tickets for the shows were in high demand; 2.9 million fans tried to get their hands on the 215,000 available tickets. It is thought Swift will put on the biggest show in Scotland, breaking Harry Styles’ 2023 record.

With a month to go, Glasgow Clyde College (GCC) launched the masterclass to educate loved ones and the plus ones about all things Swift – from the setlist, relationships, different eras and her iconic looks from her career spanning almost two decades.

(After all, you wouldn’t want to miss some of the show’s iconic moments).

Attendees were also prepared for the different crowd chants they could expect, such as “One, two, three, let’s go b****!” during the song Delicate and “Taylor, everything is going to be okay,” during the hit Anti hero.

The sold-out workshop took place on May 7 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in the Innovation Center on Langside Campus.

Robert Anderson, curriculum assistant director at GCC, said: “Taylor mania shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, and we expect it to reach its peak here in Scotland in June.

“We understand that not everyone will be aware of everything related to Taylor and may not get the full Eras experience.

“That’s why we created this masterclass – to prepare those who go to the performance with their superfan children, friends or partners, so that they will have an equally memorable time.

He added: “Taylor’s performances are known for being so well put together, 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 so you can have a Swiftie in no time.”
