The US singer added: “I’ll be headlining Glastonbury on its 50th anniversary – See you there!”

Festival organiser Emily Eavis hailed Taylor as one the world’s “biggest and best” performers.

Confirming the news, she told the BBC: “Taylor is one of the biggest and best artists on the planet, and we’re just so pleased that she’s coming here to Worthy Farm to join us for our 50th birthday celebrations.”

However, it won’t have come as a huge surprise to her fans, as Taylor had been top of the bookies’ predictions to fill a headline slot.

She recently announced her 2020 tour and had left Glasto weekend open.

But fans still rejoiced on Twitter on Sunday after she announced the news, with one writing: “YAYYY CONGRATS !!! so excited!”

Another fan typed beneath her post: “The biggest U.K. music festival!”

Meanwhile, Friday’s headliner is yet to be revealed.

However, festival organiser Emily Eavis said it would be a male artist who would be playing the festival “for their first time”.

US rapper Kendrick Lamar is tipped to take the spot.

Legendary singer Diana Ross had previously been confirmed to play at the famous festival.

Glastonbury revealed the news on their Twitter page, and said: “We are delighted to announce that @DianaRoss will play the Sunday legends slot on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2020.”

And co-organiser Emily Eavis said: “I am delighted to say that one of the all-time greats, the wonderful Diana Ross Is coming to Glastonbury to play the Sunday legend slot on the Pyramid next year.”

It’s been a long time coming for Ms.Ross as she’s been rumoured to headline the event for many years.

Elsewhere, Taylor performed on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night.

Viewers were delighted as she sang Lover, and rushed to praise the star, who is dating Brit actor Joe Alwyn.
