Outlander star Sam Heughan has big plans for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Edinburgh — including hopes to catch the pop star’s eye.
“We’re gonna go see Taylor Swift play in Scotland,” Heughan, 44, said in a behind-the-scenes video on set that he posted via Instagram on Wednesday, June 5. “I think most of the cast is going.”
Heughan continued, “She obviously doesn’t know this, but when she comes to Scotland and she sees me in the audience, she’s gonna forget all about … him and fall for a man in a ginger wig. How could she resist? She’s gonna shake him off and take me out instead. I’m really excited.”
The Scottish actor, who plays Jamie Fraser on Outlander, did not reveal which Eras show he will be attending. Swift, 34, plays three shows at Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium beginning on Friday, June 7.

While Heughan did not address Swift’s boyfriend by name in his Wednesday upload, she has been dating Travis Kelce for almost one year. They initially met because Kelce, also 34, attended her Eras Tour in July 2023. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end went to her Missouri show, armed with a DIY friendship bracelet to gift the pop star.
“Well, I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce recalled on an episode of his “New Heights” podcast weeks later. “So I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her … with my number on it.”

He continued, “She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal. But it was an unbelievable show. Kansas City showed out.”
Thanks to a mystery matchmaker — later revealed to be Swift’s second cousin Danny Frye III — the Grammy winner heard Kelce’s pleas.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift said in her 2023 TIME Person of the Year profile. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for because we got to get to know each other.”
They took their romance public in September 2023 when Swift stepped out at her first of 13 Chiefs games. Since Kelce’s been in his NFL offseason lately, he returned the favor and has cheered on Swift from the VIP section at several shows during the European leg of Eras Tour.
