Woman in tears as boyfriend surprises her with Edinburgh Taylor Swift tickets

A woman has been left in tears after her boyfriend surprised her with front-row standing Taylor Swift tickets for Edinburgh next year that he bought in secret.

Connor Rice went to pick up girlfriend Yvonne from work and decided to film her reaction as he dropped in the exciting news. The couple from the East Midlands had hoped to go to Liverpool as it's closer but snapped up Edinburgh tickets.

The loving boyfriend described how he "went through the trenches" with presale codes on TicketMaster to obtain the popular tickets and managed to get a prime location at the front of the stadium.

Connor said: "Come with me to surprise Yvonne my girlfriend with front-standing Taylor Swift tickets. I don't know how I did it

"I've been fighting in the trenches with these presale codes for f***** hours trying to get the tickets she wanted.

"Slight caveat we did want to go to Liverpool because it was closest but we are going to Edinburgh which is fine I'll drive it and we'll figure it out."

He continued: "But the key thing is she really wanted to be front standing - she wanted to be within breathing distance of Taylor and somehow I have done it."

Connor then picks up his girlfriend and sits in the front seat, as she begins to complain about work he drops in the surprise hinting about the Scottish location by dropping in "We are going to be having our pre drinks with Irn Bru."

At first, Yvonne is speechless then she starts crying then she squeals before excitedly flapping about and screaming.
