Pupils at one East Lothian primary school are ready to step in should Taylor Swift find she has a #BlankSpace on her set list at Murrayfield Stadium this weekend.

A group of P5 and P6 violinists at Musselburgh’s Burgh Primary School are such fans of the singing star they convinced their instrumental music service strings tutor Jen Hill to help them learn one of her biggest songs, Blank Space.

Ms Hill created a #Gorgeous string arrangement so the children could live out their #WildestDreams performing the song.

Ms Hill worked with Burgh head teacher Jon Doyle, sound engineer Kenny Dickson and the team at Musselburgh Grammar School’s music department and Queen Margaret University (QMU) filmmaker Johanna Denke to give the children a full recording industry experience by visiting the secondary’s recording studio and creating a film reel.

The finished film showcases their musical talent as well as their love for Taylor Swift, even using the font from her ongoing Eras Tour posters.

Ms Hill said: "The children have worked so hard this year on their violin and viola playing. Many of them only started playing in August, but they're already achieving great things in their string group and, most importantly, having great fun and making great friends!

"Let's hope Taylor gets to hear their interpretation of Blank Space. It would mean so much to them!"

Mr Doyle commented: "Staff at the Burgh are all incredibly proud of our talented young strings musicians and of all of the hard work that has gone into putting this exciting project and fantastic video together.

"We are very thankful to Jen Hill and our partners at QMU, Musselburgh Grammar School and East Lothian's Arts and Instrumental Music Services for their support in delivering this incredible experience for our pupils."

Ans Mr Doyle added that he hoped the global superstar, who performs in Edinburgh this weekend, got the chance to hear their performance.

He said: "I'm sure music royalty Taylor would be very impressed by our super-talented Swifties, and she may even feel she has some potential successors to her throne right here at the Burgh."
