Are you ready for it, Sassenach? Sam Heughan has declared that he will sweep Taylor Swift off her feet at her upcoming Scotland concert.
The actor vowed to steal the “You Belong With Me” singer from her NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce, at the gig in a hilarious Instagram video he posted on Wednesday. And, naturally, he made the grand proclamation while dressed as his Outlander character, Jamie Fraser.
“We’re gonna go see Taylor Swift play in Scotland, and I think most of the cast is going,” Heughan revealed in the clip, which seems to have been shot on the hit Starz series’ set. “She obviously doesn’t know this, but when she comes to Scotland and she sees me in the audience, she’s gonna forget all about… him and fall for a man in a ginger wig.”

Swift is set to play Edinburgh’s BT Murrayfield Stadium on June 7 and 8 as part of the international leg of her highly successful Eras Tour. And while she may be performing for more than 60,000 attendees, Heughan is confident that he’ll catch her eye.
“How could she resist?” he teased. “You know, she’s gonna shake him off and take me out instead. I’m really excited!”
In the post’s caption, he added, “Welcome to Scotland, Taylor!,” also noting that his character Jamie is a Swiftie too.
Turns out, Outlander fans are fully on board with Heughan’s vision, with one commenting, “OMG…you’re [sic] dream is coming true…move over, Travis. 😂🙌❤️”
Another suggested that he catch Swift’s attention the same way Kelce did at a concert last year before they began dating. “Make her a friendship bracelet, Sam,” they wrote. “I hear that works.”
