Taylor is set to sing in front of more than a million UK fans
Getting dressed up as iconic Taylor eras, songs and lyrics is a major part of the tour for lots of Swifties.
It seems Scotland's capital city didn't want to miss out on the fun, and decided to decorate its trams to welcome Taylor to Edinburgh.
In the Highlands, Loch Tay has been renamed Loch Tay Tay for the weekend – pretty clever, right?

The next stop on her tour, Liverpool will be hosting a 'Tay Day' ahead of her first show in the city.
It will be a chance for her fans, students and lecturers to talk about the "cultural phenomenon that is Taylor Swift".

Taylor had 16 different outfit changes in her first Edinburgh show!
Taylor is performing 15 UK shows this summer.
With her Edinburgh gigs now complete, she'll be at Anfield in Liverpool next, for three shows from 13–15 June.
UK Swifties have quite a lot going on at the moment...
Cardiff will welcome Taylor to Wales for the first time ever on 18 June, for one night only at the Principality Stadium.
Taylor will then perform a whopping eight shows at Wembley Stadium in London, starting with three nights on 21–23 June and returning later in the summer for five more shows between 15–20 August.
How successful has the Eras tour been?
The Eras tour has become a part of music history
The Eras tour has made the most money of any tour in music history.
It's on track to make £1.5 billion.
That doesn't include the money made from the Eras tour film released in 2023, or merchandise sold at the shows.
Around 11 million tickets have been sold for the 152 shows in 22 countries.
It's said that the tour has brought lots of money into local economies, as fans pay for things like food and hotels nearby when they go to see her.
Taylor will end her UK run in London's Wembley Stadium
