A BBC presenter gave her weather forecast a Swift-inspired spin ahead of Taylor Swift's sold-out Eras Tour gig in Cardiff. Swift took to the stage at the Principality Stadium on Tuesday, June 19, as part of her UK Eras Tour. The BBC presenter - a self-confessed Swiftie - celebrated by transforming her usual weather forecast into something she knew Swift fans would love.

BBC presenter Sabrina Lee, donning a sparkly pink outfit and face glitter, told fans that Taylor was 'Out Of The Woods' when it came to the 'Treacherous' weather, referencing some of her songs. In Lee's special broadcast, which she posted on social media, she renamed locations around the UK after Taylor's songs.

The locations included John O'Groats, which became 'Dear John O'Groats' after the song from Taylor's Speak Now album. Fort William was rebranded as 'Fortnight William', inspired by her song with Post Malone from the recently released The Tortured Poets Department.

Elsewhere in the country, Carlisle was renamed 'Getaway Carlisle' after the song 'Getaway Car' and Bangor became 'Bangorgeous', in reference to Taylor's song 'Gorgeous'. Liverpool was transformed into 'Loverpool', named after the 'Lover' album, reports the Mirror, reports Wales Online.

The BBC Wales weather presenter and self-proclaimed Taylor Swift superfan gave an entertaining forecast for the upcoming weather, announcing there would be "no Midnight rain" but advised fans to "bring a Cardigan". She shared her excitement on Twitter, posting: "Our Wildest Dreams have come true, Taylor Swift is back in Cardiff tomorrow night! BBC Wales weather presenter and Swiftie superfan Sabrina Lee takes us through the forecast for Tuesday."

Taylor began her Cardiff concert on Tuesday night by addressing the crowd in Welsh, much to the delight of her fans. The pop star opened the show with her hit song Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince, followed by Cruel Summer, while wearing a stunningly sparkly outfit.

Later during the concert, one young girl in the audience was given a surprise of a lifetime when Taylor gifted her the iconic 22 hat. The singer was also visibly taken aback by the overwhelming response to her performance of Champagne Problems.

The Eras Tour is coming to London this week, landing at Wembley Stadium on the 21, 22 and 23 June and 15, 16, 17, 19 and 20 August.
