Man charged with voyeurism at Taylor Swifts Murrayfield show in

Police Scotland confirmed one arrest was made at Murrayfield Stadium during the singer's three dates in Edinburgh for The Eras Tour.

A 64-year-old man has been charged with alleged voyeurism during one of Taylor Swift's shows in Edinburgh.

The American superstar brought The Eras Tour to the UK and performed at Murrayfield in the Scottish capital on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Police Scotland confirmed one arrest was made at the stadium during the three dates.

Superintendent David Happs said: "A 64-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with a voyeurism offence committed within Murrayfield during the event on Saturday, 8 June.

"He was released on an undertaking to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court at a later date."

Voyeurism is defined as when someone gets sexual pleasure from watching, photographing or recording others doing something that's usually private. It is an offence when it is done without the person's permission.
