Taylor Swift will perform at Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Tuesday (June 18) and as a safety precaution, a number of road closures will be in place.

Fellow American pop star P!nk performed at Principality Stadium last Tuesday (June 11) and now this week it will be Swift's turn, along with special guest Paramore, to take to the stage in Cardiff as part of her Eras Tour.

The tour has already broken records all around the world including becoming the highest-grossing music tour ever, according to Guinness World Records.

Swift has already begun the UK leg of her Eras Tour with shows in Edinburgh and Liverpool and on Tuesday (June 18) it will be Cardiff's turn to host the global superstar.

To ensure concert-goers can get to and from Principality Stadium safely there will be a number of road closures in place around the stadium and in the Cardiff city centre. 

Some of these road closures will be in place from as early as 7am on Tuesday and will run until as late as 12am on Wednesday (June 19).
