Taylor Swift emotionally congratulates a couple after they engaged at her show in Edinburgh

Taylor Swift congratulated a newly-engaged couple in a touching moment during her live gig in Edinburgh, after kicking off the UK leg of her Eras tour on Friday.

Taking to the stage of the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, the pop icon, 34, said smiling: ‘I love performing this entire show in the sunlight because I’m pretty sure I just saw somebody getting engaged over here.’

The singer waited to hear a confirmation from the crowd, who screamed in a positive response, and Taylor was captured grinning happily from ear to ear and throwing her fists in the air as she was visibly emotional.

The Wildest Dreams hitmaker seemed over the moon to be witnessing the romantic scene, and said: ‘You have no idea. I never get to see that. Cause it’s like… dark usually at night.

‘But it’s not right now, so congratulations, wow.’

Taylor seemed astonished by the emotional gesture which happened right under her nose and continued: ‘I just saw the whole thing! Man, that’s amazing.

‘Thanks for doing that at my concert. That’s a big moment. Huge.’
