Taylor Swift confirmed to headline Glastonbury 2020 alongside Paul McCartney

After months of rumours and speculation from fans, Taylor Swift has been confirmed as the second headliner for Glastonbury 2020.

The US superstar, who celebrated her 30th birthday this week, shared the news on Twitter on Sunday evening.

Swift shared a picture of herself holding a poster for the event, which included a nod to her recently-released festive track, with the line: "From Christmas Tree Farm to Worthy Farm."

Next to it, she wrote: "I’m ecstatic to tell you that I’ll be headlining Glastonbury on its 50th anniversary - See you there!"

The Lover singer had long been rumoured to be performing, after fans spotted a gap in her 2020 tour plans.

She's now the second headliner confirmed for the event, following Paul McCartney's announcement that he will close the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday night of the annual event.

Diana Ross will also perform at Worthy Farm, taking on the much-hyped Legends Slot on the Sunday afternoon.

Tickets for the festival sold out in record time in October. Fans will have a final chance to get their hands on them in April, when the annual resale of an unspecified amount of returned tickets go on sale.

There is now just one more headline slot to fill and acts rumoured to contending for the spot include The 1975, Elton John and Foals.

The full line-up is expected to be announced in April next year, around the time of the resale.
