STV NewsA Taylor Swift superfan has said Scotland would be the “perfect” location for the US superstar’s upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce.
Swift confirmed her engagement to Kelce in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday evening, with the caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The couple’s engagement comes just days after the US superstar announced the title of her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl on Kelce’s podcast, which is co-hosted by his brother Jason Kelce.
Two years ago, Kelce stated on the podcast that he wanted to date Swift after he failed to meet her when she performed at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Chiefs.
The pair were soon introduced and a Love Story blossomed.
The news delighted the singer’s army of fans, known as Swifties, including Edinburgh resident Molly Gilroy.
The 28-year-old superfan was one of four selected to help V&A London launch its Taylor Swift Songbook Trail exhibition in 2024.
Molly advised on the exhibition which included some of her own memorabilia, and helped curators immerse themselves into the fan experience.
She spoke with STV News about Swift’s big announcement, and when she thinks the singer will return to Scotland following her three-night run of shows at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield last summer.
Molly Gilroy“It was amazing at Murrayfield. I think she really loved the crowd. She’d never done Edinburgh before so maybe we can win her back with Scottish charm,” Molly said.
Swift’s record-breaking shows marked the first time she had played in Scotland in almost a decade, and told fans it was a “mistake” not returning sooner.
She also previously opened up about her Scottish ancestry during a show at Glasgow’s Hydro in 2015, saying she was “proud” to be one of them.
As for whether this fondness will impact the planning of Swift and Kelce’s upcoming nuptials, Molly said it would be the “perfect” place for her wedding.
“We’ve got so many castles so that would be perfect. She loves woodlands and mythology which Scotland is full of,” she said.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a holiday here, she’s spent of lot of time in the UK but she could find a lot of creative inspiration in Scotland so she could be drawn back.”
Molly, who attended shows in the US and London as well as all three Scottish shows, said Edinburgh had the friendliest crowd.
“The atmosphere was so friendly, I met friends of all ages and it just felt like a friendly crowd than London. It felt safe and it brough a lot of people together. Scottish people always known for being a good crowd and were really energetic,” she said.
“I feel like Scotland we got a lot of great stuff, songs that have never been played before. Maybe its because she’s not done many Scottish shows,” she added.
She added that the second night was the “most emotional” she’d ever been at a concert.
“The night she played Crazier was the most emotional I’ve ever been, because she’s never played it before. To get that at an Edinburgh show was amazing.”
