Many fans have speculated the singer will make an unexpected appearance at the festival

Glastonbury attendees have been hoping Taylor Swift might make a surprise appearance at this year's festival as rumours swirl as to who could be performing a secret set over the weekend.

Secret sets are a unique feature of the UK's most popular festival, with some of the biggest names appearing annually to put on an unexpected show.


As always, rumours have been doing the rounds as to who might be the next surprise set, and the latest odds have revealed it could be Taylor Swift, with fan speculation backing the claim.

FairBettingSites have released the odds of some of the biggest names rumoured to be making surprise appearances at the festival.

Among then is Taylor Swift, with odds of 7/4 for showing up at Glastonbury. The pop sensation is currently in the UK as part of her 21-month Eras Tour.

Many fans are hoping she will show herself at the event in the iconic Worthy Farm at some point this weekend, and some have concluded an exact moment she might arrive.

Many have theorised the 34-year-old could take to the stage during The National's headlining slot on The Other Stage because Swift had collaborated with the band earlier this year.

However, festival-goers could end up being disappointed, with Swift's schedule making it unlikely she'll have time for a surprise set at Glastonbury.

According to The Mirror, Swift is set to perform the final show of her three-night run at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on the same night, with the singer set to finish around 10.45pm.

The National's set finishes at 11.15pm, making it unlikely Swift could perform on that evening.

Other potentials who could perform a secret set have been put forward by the betting company FairBettingSites, with Kasabian topping the list with odds of 1/5.

The Killers are also on the list at 1/2, and Harry Styles is high up with odds of 4/6. Others included are The Kings of Leon, Interpol, Blur, Glass Animals and Weezer.

Lower down the list are Pulp, Liam Gallagher, Tame Impala, Vampire Weekend and Oasis.

Meanwhile, many of those tuned into Glastonbury's BBC coverage were left fuming on Friday night. Taking to social media, several complained about the lack of coverage, with the broadcaster seemingly focusing on only certain performers.

One unimpressed viewer wrote: "Said on the news that this was going to be the most diverse #Glastonbury yet. 37 minutes in on the BBC coverage and I’ve only seen three acts. It’s all Sugerbabes. One song per artist please."

"Has BBC iplayer got rid of all the broadcasting for every stage like they used to have?! #bbciplayer #Glastonbury," another asked, to which another responded: "Unfortunately they have."

"The BBC coverage of @glastonbury is s**** & has been for a very long,long time. #Glastonbury," another fumed. (sic)
