OUTLANDER star Sam Heughan has said “most of the cast” will be going to see Taylor Swift perform in Edinburgh over the next few days.
The US pop star is taking the Eras Tour to Murrayfield stadium from Friday to Sunday, with thousands of Swifties expected to flock to the nation’s capital – including the cast of Outlander.
In a video posted on his Instagram story whilst on the Outlander set, Heughan (below) said he hopes Swift will “fall for a man in a ginger wig”.
“We’re going to go see Taylor Swift play in Scotland, and I think most of the cast is going,” Heughan said.
“She obviously doesn’t know this, but when she comes to Scotland and she sees me in the audience, she’s going to forget all about ... him, and fall for a man in a ginger wig,” he added with a pause to the camera, referring to Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce.

Heughan continued: “How could she resist? She’s going to shake him off and take me out instead. I’m really excited.”
He finished the video by making a love-heart shape with his hands towards the camera.
Fans have already begun queueing for Taylor Swift merchandise at Murrayfield ahead of the concerts, which are expected to be among the biggest ever held in Scotland.
Businesses across Edinburgh have also been preparing for the gigs, with various bars and restaurants offering special menu items to celebrate the occasion.
And on Wednesday, First Minister John Swinney welcomed Taylor Swift to Scotland, saying the renaming of Loch Tay as "Loch Tay Tay" in her honour was "just fabulous".
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
