Sam Heughan and the Outlander cast made their way to Scotland to bask in the glory of Taylor Swift’s concert. The actor, proudly self-proclaimed as a Swiftie, took to his Instagram handle to share snapshots of the excitement.
On Saturday, June 8, Sam Heughan, 44, posted photos and videos of his attendance at Taylor Swift’s Eras show in Edinburgh alongside fellow Outlander cast members. In one snapshot, Heughan and his Outlander co-star, John Hunter Bell, posed with their wrists raised, displaying a collection of friendship bracelets—a common adornment among Swifties at the event. Another picture captured Heughan alongside more members of the Outlander ensemble, including Izzy Meikle-Small, Charles Vandervaart, Richard Rankin, Caitlin O’Ryan, Caitriona Balfe, Sophie Skelton, Lauren Lyle, and Joey Phillips. The final snapshot showcased Heughan beaming as he posed with two other attendees during the concert.
Sam Heughan made sure his followers joined in the fun
Originating from Scotland himself, Sam Heughan appeared genuinely thrilled about the concert, ensuring his fans could partake in the experience vicariously through him by sharing additional footage from his time at Swift’s show.
He began by reposting an Outlander Instagram Stories post, where the TV show announced, “Swiftlander is upon us,” alongside a tweet from X (formerly Twitter) confirming the cast’s attendance at the concert. Heughan then treated his followers to glimpses of the Wildest Dreams singer, who graced the center stage while performing Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince. The camera panned out to reveal several Outlander cast members dancing along to the song.
The actor, who had previously declared himself a Swiftie on June 5, 2024, shared a video wherein he exclaimed, “We’re going to see Taylor Swift perform in Scotland, and I think most of the cast is coming along. She obviously doesn’t know this, but when she spots me in the audience, she’ll forget all about … him [Travis Kelce] and fall for a man in a ginger wig.”
