Taylors tenth song of the night prompted an outbreak of cheering from the crowd when dancer Kameron N. Saunders exclaimed "pog mo thoin", which means "kiss my -----."

This raucous response was delivered as Swift delved into the third track from her Red Era. The usage of the Irish phrase had fans erupting in glee, with many predicting that the star herself might use a few friendly Irish words.

In the midst of a particular song, Taylor and her troupe of six backup dancers, sparkled under the bright lights in captivating red sequinned costumes. They moved into line formation during a pause in the catchy tune, with lead dancer Kam getting his chance to yell the Irish expression before diving back into the chorus to the delight of the swarming audience.

Prior to her Friday spectacular, Swift mentioned how she was already experiencing the "Irish hospitality", revealing that local legends U2 had kindly sent her a bunch of flowers.

Taylor shared a snapshot of the floral arrangement and letter on her Instagram story, expressing: "Already feeling that Irish hospitality, U2 thanks for always being the classiest and the coolest."

At a recent gig at Cardiff in the Principality Stadium, the star opened the show with a fluent Welsh sentence: "Croeso i'r daith Eras" translating to "Welcome to the Eras Tour", much to the delight of the excited crowd.
