Loch Tay, the largest loch in Perthshire, has been officially renamed Loch Tay Tay this morning to celebrate the 34-year-old bringing her record-breaking Eras Tour to Scotland on Friday. Bagpipes played renditions of Taylor Swift songs at the renaming ceremony where a sign at the edge of the water was unveiled bearing the ancient beauty spot’s new name.

As anticipation for the superstar’s arrival builds, the radio station Heart Scotland last week asked listeners to pitch ideas on how best to honour the superstar’s arrival and Loch Tay Tay was chosen.

Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney – now dubbed Swinney the Swiftie – gave his seal of approval and said: ‘First thing I want to say to Taylor and all of her Swifties is they’re really welcome here in Scotland.
