Wales, are you “…Ready For It?” This BBC weather presenter certainly is.
Ahead of Taylor Swift‘s Tour of Eras landing in Cardiff on June 18, meteorologist BBC Wales Sabrina Lee posted a Swift-inspired weather forecast on Monday, June 17.
UK fans seeing Swift on the UK leg of her tour have had to endure a “Cruel Summer” so far, with the weather far from optimal for outdoor stadium shows.
But there is good news for Cardiff: Lee pointed out in his forecast that the weather should “Stay Stay Stay Dry” in the afternoon as the concert begins. “We are ‘Out of the Woods’ when it comes to ‘Treacherous’ situations,” he added.
After the concert, expect “a ‘Soft’ wind,” said Lee, who also warned fans to “remember the ‘Cardigan’ when it’s cold.”
Swift’s Tour of Eras continues on Tuesday at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, followed by three nights at the iconic Wembley Stadium from Friday, June 21 to Sunday, June 23.
The “Fortnight” singer touched down in England earlier this month for three concerts in Edinburgh, Scotland, followed by three more shows in Liverpool, England, last week.
Swifties attending the Edinburgh show between June 7 and June 9 caused seismic activity during the singer’s three-night run at Murrayfield Stadium.
The British Geological Survey (BGS), which serves as the largest earthquake monitoring agency in England, said in a report on Friday, June 13, that earthquake readings were detected up to 6 kilometers (about 3.7 miles) from the concert venue.
According to the organization, the songs that generated the most seismic activity were “… Ready For It?,” “Cruel Summer” and “Champagne Trouble.” During “… Ready For It?” specifically, the activity reaches its peak at 160 beats per minute and is generated around 80 kilowatts.
BGS also reported that the June 7 concert generated the most activity of all three nights with 23.4 nanometers, followed by Saturday at 22.8 nanometers and Sunday at 23.3 nanometers.
During her 100th show in Liverpool on Thursday, June 13, Swift confirmed that her long-running tour will end in December.
“People have been like, ‘How are you going to celebrate your 100th?'” Swift, 34, told the sold-out Anfield stadium crowd. “Celebrating the 100th show for me means this is the first time I’ve admitted to myself and admitted that this tour will end in December. That’s the way it is.”
Swift called it Tour of Eras “The most exhausting, all-encompassing, but most joyful, most rewarding, best thing that has ever happened in my life.”
“I think this tour has been my whole life,” Swift said. “It took over everything. I think I used to have a hobby, but I don’t know what else. All I do when I’m not on stage is sit at home and try to think of smart acoustic songs and think about what you want to hear.
