Taylor Swift made an entire Irish venue swoon with delight on Saturday night after telling them their nation was the inspiration and imagery behind his album, “Folklore.”
Taylor was performing at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium when she told the packed crowd: “‘Folklore’ basically just belongs in Ireland.” She went on to explain how she began writing the album two days into the pandemic and: “How I imagined the world wanted the album (was) like Eire. Storytelling with lots of completely different characters. You guys have that under your belt as well. That’s very Irish, the storytelling.”

She mentioned that she created a fantasy in her head to write the songs. “…I needed to create an album where the imaginary world that I pretended to visit every day while I was writing… I have to be honest, it kind of felt like Ireland.”
She continued… “Then we are back where we belong. Folklore belongs to you!”
Their European tour is, unsurprisingly, going down a storm. Half a million fans were competing for tickets, and there were only 165,000 available.
Taylor is having three exhibitions in Dublin, and the reception is overwhelming.
