Around 220,000 Swifties packed out Murrayfield stadium to watch the iconic hitmaker perform.

But for some it was an even more special night, as they left with memories to last forever.

It has become a tradition among some Swifties to pop the question during the star's song Love Story - which tells the tale of a troubled romance which finally ends with a proposal.

Up to six couples left Murrayfield engaged as loved-up partners shook off the nerves and got down on one knee.

Footage shared on social media shows at least a half dozen romantic proposals during the tune at the three-night run of shows in Edinburgh.

Videos showed couples embracing each other in tears of joy after they said yes.

One crafty boyfriend even handed the fans behind him his phone so they could record the special moment.

Another couple got an extra special reaction as they caught the eye of the superstar as she was on stage.

Taylor told the crowd how she saw the proposal, saying: "Wow. I saw that whole thing.

"Man, that's amazing. Thanks for doing that at my concert, that's a big moment - huge."

Moment Taylor Swift refuses to sing song until stadium staff helped fan

Taylor thanked her Scottish fans with an emotional message after she finished the trio of mega shows in the capital.

The record-breaking gigs were revealed as having the biggest attendance in Scottish concert history.

But there were even more in attendance as ticketless Swifties gathered outside Murrayfield just for the chance to hear the show.

TAYLOR Swift came face to face with Taylor Swift — and insisted: “It was the best day of my life.”

The superstar’s namesake told how she “cried with happiness” at her pop idol’s first Scots show in nine years and reckons they even made eye contact.

Delighted Taylor, 19, of Newarthill, Lanarkshire, watched on at the front of the 73,000-strong crowd after her mum Mairi Rice forked out £640 for two last-minute tickets.

The pair were thrilled as US icon Taylor powered through 45 hits in three-and-a-half hours in the first of three back-to-back shows at Murrayfield Stadium this weekend.

Overjoyed Taylor said: “I was crying with happiness for every single song."

Crowds of fans were outside the stadium singing along to the wildly popular tunes.

But Taylor's time in Scotland did not come without its challenges.

The singer was forced to make a costume change to help her battle the Edinburgh weather during her Saturday night performance.

During her first show, the singer spotted fans in the crowd needing help and refused to continue a song until stadium staff came to their aid.
