The Queen of Pop, Taylor Swift, is finally back in Dublin this weekend, bringing her Eras tour to more than 150 thousand fans at the Aviva Stadium over three nights. To celebrate the singer's return, we’ve gathered a panel of Swifties to talk about her music, stardom, and her dedicated fanbase. Writer, DJ, and disability activist Louise Bruton gives a potted history of Swift's career, from teenage country singer to global mega superstar. Creative writing student and member of University of Galway’s Swiftie Society, Ella Conneff, explains how Swift's music resonates and brings people together. We also hear from Kayleigh Bealin from the Irish Family History Centre, who has teamed up with EPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum, to track down Swift’s Irish roots and her connections to Derry and Dublin.
