Taylor Swift sends fans wild as she opens Cardiff show speaking WELSH and rewrites song to include local slang during one night only gig in the capital
Taylor Swift sent fans wild after she opened her Cardiff gig speaking Welsh before rewriting one tune for the show on Tuesday evening.
The singer, 34, is currently on the UK leg of her Eras tour with her latest concert at the Welsh capital’s Principality Stadium as she performed to a whopping crowd of 70,000.
Taylor kicked off the show welcoming her fans and saying in Welsh ‘Croeso i’r daith Eras!’ which translates to ‘Welcome to the Eras Tour’.
Then during a rendition of break up hit We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together she passed her microphone to a dancer who exclaimed ‘Ych-a-fi’ a Welsh term to describe something disgusting.
She later gushed over the audience saying: ‘This crowd in Cardiff is one for the books. This crowd is different, you’re another level!’ level!’

It comes after Swifites rejoiced following a significant change being announced ahead of the Cardiff show.
The roof of the stadium will remain closed, meaning there will be no fireworks display at the end of Taylor’s performance.
The change, which has been confirmed on the stadium’s fan guide, has been well received by fans who feel they will enjoy the visuals better in darkness.
Taking to X/Twitter, one fan wrote: ‘Roof is closed. No fireworks. But show will be in the dark I think!’ to which another replied: ‘We should be getting full effect of the wristbands tonight then.’
Others wrote: ‘So jealous of people in Cardiff getting a roof so will see the full extent of the wristbands and lights. It will look unreal.’
‘The roof is going to be shut. The UK Swifties will finally get to see the full effects of the light up bracelets, everyone cheered.’
‘The roof is gonna be closed, it’s gonne be a dark show yessss.’
This comes after she thanked fans for attending her series of shows in Liverpool following her playing the last Anfield Stadium date on Saturday.

Meanwhile a BBC Wales presenter gave a special Taylor Swift inspired weather forecast ahead of the singer’s Cardiff show.
The pop icon has been struggling to adjust to the cold weather of the UK with three sold-out shows in Scotland last week.
But it appears Taylor could be in for warmer weather when she takes to the stage on Tuesday, with the BBC reporting she’s ‘Out Of The Woods’ when it comes to the ‘Treacherous weather.’

Sharing the clip to X, the broadcaster captioned: ‘Our Wildest Dreams have come true, Taylor Swift is back in Cardiff tomorrow night!
