Taylor Swift has officially touched down in Scotland as her private jet lands at a VIP airport in Edinburgh.
MailOnline can reveal that the American megastar, 34, arrived at lunchtime and was shrouded by umbrellas before being whisked away in a blacked-out vehicle accompanied by a police escort.
The attempt to stay out of the view is reminiscent of a similar trick Taylor played when she arrived to Los Angeles airport in February before supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Super Bowl.
The Cruel Summer singer will be performing tonight, Saturday and Sunday in Edinburgh before heading to Liverpool, Cardiff and Wembley.
Excitement is building ahead of the British leg of her sell-out Eras Tour, and devoted fans, who call themselves Swifties, have been braving the Scottish weather in a queue at the venue since 3am.
