Taylor added, "I'm very excited to be a part of this festival. It'll be the first show of its kind I've ever done in the U.K., and I think there are many fans who've waited long enough to see it. It's one of the greatest joys in the world to me (playing acoustic) and I cannot wait to get over there and share that with the fans."
