The unexpected Swifties
After Taylor Swift’s three Edinburgh shows, Scott asked to hear from people who had attended reluctantly and come away converted.
Marianne, 55, had accepted a spare ticket despite knowing only the biggest hits.
She attended with her 57-year-old brother and said Taylor’s three-and-a-half-hour performance placed her alongside Pink among the best concerts she had ever seen.
Marianne spent the following day listening through the catalogue and declared herself a fully converted Swifty.
