The London Underground has put on its party hat with a special Taylor Swift map revealed on the day of her first Eras concert in the capital.

Transport for London (TfL) launched Taylor’s version of the iconic Underground map.

Each line on Taylor’s map is named after her albums and drawn with sequin-style lines.

Central Line is aptly named ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’ after the line’s signature colour, while District Line has become ‘Taylor Swift’.

All stations are named after her hit songs, including Shake It Off, I Knew You Were Trouble and Bad Blood.

Visitor hotspots have also been added as gemstones to guide Swift fans to places like Wembley Stadium, Shoreditch and Soho.

Fans welcomed the map on social media, with several asking for it to be made available as a poster.

One said: ‘So Bejeweled.’

Another said: ‘Tell us you’re printing this.’

Emma Strain, TfL’s customer director, said: ‘The London (Taylor’s version) Tube map brings two icons together, paying homage to Swift’s love of London and showcasing her extensive discography as diverse as the city itself.

‘London is blessed to have eight Eras dates, and we’re encouraging people to get out on the transport network to explore the many locales namechecked in Swift’s songs and see the exciting range of live music events across the city this summer.’

It is not just the Tube that has been swept away by the megastar.

Her song Shake It Off was played by the Royal Corps of Army outside Buckingham Palace today.
