She's set to rock the stage at Croke Park, Dublin as part of her Reputation tour on Friday and Saturday night.

And Taylor Swift received support from some unlikely fans as she shared a snap of a bunch of roses she was gifted by iconic Irish band U2 ahead of her gig on Friday.

The songstress, 28, gushed over the surprise flowers on Instagram, as she shared the blossoming roses and a note from front-man Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen.

Taylor shared the personal note the that rockers sent to her, which read: 'From your Irish fan club...Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry'.

The Look What You Made Me Do hit maker showed her excitement over the flowers in the caption, in which she wrote: 'Walked into my dressing room to find roses from @U2 and I WAS NOT READY FOR IT.

'I LOVE U2, I LOVE IRELAND, LET'S DO THIS CROKE PARK' Taylor concluded.

While little connects the musicians, U2's latest musical offering went head-to-head with Taylor's Reputation album back in December, when the Grammy Award-winners knocked Taylor off the Billboard album chart with Songs Of Experience.

But there's clearly no bad blood between the two as Taylor has had a few run ins with the Beautiful Day artists, and have been pictured together at the 2016 iHeart Music Awards and a Golden Globes after-party in 2014.

The heartfelt message comes after Taylor honoured the victims of last year's Manchester Arena terrorist attack as she performed in the stadium on Friday night.

The singer, who kicked off the European leg of her tour in the city, told the 40,000 strong crowd they would 'never forget' those who lost their lives in May last year.

Twenty-two people were killed and more than 512 individuals left with injuries in the suicide bombing shortly after Ariana Grande's concert.

Talking to the crowd, Taylor said: 'You’ve shown that you’re never gonna let anyone forget about those victims.

'And you’ve shown that you have such incredible resilience to keep dancing and to keep the innocence and to keep the joy and to keep the joy.'

'This is a really special night for me and everybody on this stage. You're so amazing. That's why I wanted to start the UK tour in Manchester.

She ended her message with: 'I just want to say, Manchester: It is such an honor to play for you tonight', before belting out her hit single Dancing with Our Hands Tied.

Taylor is set to break records again as the first seven shows of her world performances has already earned a whopping $54 million, according to Billboard.

The End Game hitmaker - who is reportedly worth $280 million - kicked off the six-month tour on May 8 in Glendale, Arizona, and is set to conclude her set of electric shows in Japan in November.

With an impressive start to her tour, Billboard have predicted that sales could potentially reach $400 million by the end of set of concerts.
