Thousands of Taylor Swift fans will be blessed with 3 hours and 21 minutes of the Anti-Hero singer tonight as she kicks off her British leg of the Eras Tour in Edinburgh.

Some 73,000 Swifties are set to descend on Murrayfield Stadium for the next three evenings before the musician moves on to Shake It Off in Liverpool, Cardiff and London.

Taylor touched down on Scottish soil at around lunchtime today and eager concert-goers have been queuing outside of her first gig since last night.

With 34-year-old Swift set to grace her first British stage in six years at 7.15pm, here's what fans can expect.

The American megastar has a fresh setlist consisting of 46 songs, as well as a couple of surprises sang with a piano and acoustic.

Swift has also added her new record-breaking album, The Tortured Poets Department, to the concert and removed some songs that proved popular in the American leg including Long Live and The Archer.

Long-time classics like Love Story and Enchanted have made the cut for the European part of her tour, however.

Always sparkling, Swift's over 3-hour-long show includes a whopping 16 costume changes - all taking inspiration from each era that she sings.

In previous shows, she opened the concert with her Lover era and donned thousands of gems and sequins in a dazzling bodysuit.

This was a stunning pink, silver and blue outfit for the first leg of the tour, and the style changed slightly for other shows, but she surprised fans in Paris with a fiery red and orange version.

During the Fearless set, Swift has previously worn a gold glitter dress with tassels, paired with the iconic silver Louis Vuitton knee-high heeled boots.

She has dressed her Red era with a statement white t-shirt and black hat in past shows, similar to that seen in the 22 music video before changing outfits again a two more times.

Enchanted has seen several showstopping ballgowns in the past while talented Swift plays the guitar.

In her Reputation section, Swift previously wore a black body suit with a red snake trailing down one leg.

Mixed together for the European leg, Evermore and Folklore has seen several different coloured long, wispy dresses.

She has brought out several pop colours for 1989 - pairing together different sparkling crop tops and mini skirts for the European shows.

Her newest songs, The Tortured Poets Department, have been blessed with a brand new wardrobe featuring a dramatic black and white gown and a jacket.

She finishes the night with Midnights which she has previously sported a deep blue bodysuit as well as a shimmering jacket.

Despite singer cutting out Long Live from her European era, Swifties attending the concert should still be prepared to 'make the friendship bracelets' and trade with fellow fans.

Last year, American fans began trading handmade beaded bracelets, often featuring the lyrics or a reference to one of Swift's songs, and swapped them with other concert-goers.

Many fans also choose to dress up, often inspired by Taylor Swift herself, with some remaking her concert outfits, or styling themselves in their favourite era
