Airbnb owners make a Swift profit

Room rates skyrocket on nights of Taylor gigs

TAYLOR Swift fans needing a place to stay after the megastar's gigs could be in for a Cruel Summer as prices are soaring by up to 223%.

Those with rooms for concertgoers are making a Swift buck as we found prices for stays could rise by as much as £500 per night in some parts of the country when her record-breaking Eras Tour is taking place.

Researchers looked at Airbnb prices for the week before and the week Taylor is in town, to find the average costs to stay for two people for one night.

And the biggest hike was when Taylor, 34, is performing at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium over the weekend of June 7-9.
