Taylor Swift,Dundee,West Lothian

The Capital is bracing itself for a massive influx of tourists next weekend, as the global superstar will perform for three nights.

Edinburgh council are struggling to house homeless families in the city, due to an influx of tourism for Taylor Swift's upcoming shows.

A council spokesperson said they are working with families to find suitable places, but they face having to move outwith the city during this time, Edinburgh Live reports. She said: "It is a symptom of the housing emergency we face in Edinburgh that at times we must use tourist accommodation to house homeless households. We know it won't be available year-round, particularly over the busy summer months, so we use it reluctantly as a last resort.

Taylor Swift will play three shows at Murrayfield between June 7 and 9, with an estimated 218,000 tickets sold across the three nights.
