Stevie Nicks, Travis Kelce and Julia Roberts attend Taylor Swift's ...

"The reason I want to play this tonight is because a friend of mine is here who is watching the show and who has really been one of the reasons why I or any female artist gets to do what we get to do. She's paved the way for us. And she's mentored so many artists.” Swift said Nicks has been a “guiding hand” to artists.

“I can't tell you how rare that is,” she added.

“She's a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell her any secret and she would never tell anybody. She's really helped me through so much over the years.”

Julia Roberts was also seen in the VIP tent exchanging friendship bracelets with fans, while Travis Kelce was jamming out to the second half of Swift's show, getting a special mention on the closing song 'Karma'.

"Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me." 

Swift told fans tonight's show meant The Eras Tour was the first tour to ever sell out the Aviva Stadium venue three nights in a row.

The 34-year-old went on to say that far from being tired on the third night, nights one and two were “just warm-up shows for you”.

Ireland embraced the excitement of the star’s visit with a beach transformed into a large-scale artwork reading Ireland (Taylor’s version) as a nod to her ongoing re-recordings of her albums.

Even Taoiseach Simon Harris appeared to flirt with Swiftmania, joking he had a “bone to pick” with Swift over the lyrics of her Sweet Nothings hit – which mention lifting a pebble from a beach in his home county Wicklow.

He also shared on Instagram on Saturday that he had received his first Swiftie friendship bracelet at a service station in Ballinaleck.

Thousands of fans filled the Aviva for three sold-out concerts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

There was also a nod to Ireland during a rendition of her chart-topper We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, when her dancer Kameron N Saunders jumped in to quip “bleedin eejit”.

On Friday night, Saunders said “Pog mo thoin” – a cheeky Irish-language phrase meaning “kiss my ass”, and on Saturday he said “The Neck of Ye”, where Swift would usually say “Like Ever” in the recorded edition of the hit. For tonight's show, it was 'Bleeding eejit'. 

Swift later in the concert pondered which of her Eras was the “most Irish”, continuing the she believes it is her album Folklore.

She recalled starting to write the song “two days into the pandemic”; when she created an imaginary world “living in a cabin in a really green and mossy landscape, very Irish”, adding the album is “all about story telling and you guys are gifted story tellers”.
