And now she has heaped praise on the concert crowd online.

She said: “Edinburgh!!! You truly blew me away this weekend.

“Thank you for breaking the all-time attendance record for a stadium show in Scotland 3 times in a row and for all the ways you made us feel right at home.

“Love you, all 220,000 of you!!!”

We told how End Game singer Taylor, 34, told her final audience on Sunday: “We’ve had the most wonderful time in Edinburgh!

“This crowd has come to prove a point, they really do save the best to last. This crowd broke the alltime attendance record in Scotland.”

And Swifties agreed the concerts exceeded all expectations – after the US star powered through another marathon, hit-stuffed set.

Superfan Lucy Martin, 28, of Hereford, admitted: “This is the fifth time I’ve seen her, the first time in Scotland and I’ve never seen her get a reception like this.”

Pals Lauren Marshall, Nicola Paterson, Sam Mills and Sarah Mills also told how they had the night of their lives.

The global powerhouse has Scots ties through great-grandfather Lance George Findlay but hadn’t performed here since a 2015 gig at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro.

Lauren, 26, of Edinburgh, said: “It was insane, so good. It’s not like a normal concert.”

Nicola, 24, added: “She hadn’t been in Scotland for ten years, so really enjoyed being back. She has Scottish ancestors.”

Thousands arrived hours before the all-conquering singer-songwriter was due on stage, as queues for merchandise stalls snaked around the stadium.

Dedicated Brent Gordon, 42, revealed he flew 4,700 miles from Albuquerque, New Mexico, just to see the show with his wife and Swiftie daughters.

He said: “I wanted fireworks and she didn’t disappoint. It was awesome. My kids are so happy.”

Taylor on Thursday starts a threenight run at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool.

The European leg of her epic Eras Tour then continues, including eight huge gigs at Wembley in London.

We told how a mum hit out at Ticketmaster after forking out £650 for premium Taylor Swift tickets to be met with an obstructed view.

Michelle Williams, 50, was “beyond devastated” when she and her son, Rhys, 19, arrived in their ‘top package’ seats that advertised an “unforgettable night” at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium.
