Sure why wouldn't you do a bit of sight-seeing while you're here!
Taylor Swift took a 'secret trip' to Achill Island during her time in Ireland recently.
In the last weekend of June - or what was locally referred to as 'Taylor Weekend' - the global superstar performed 3 sold out shows in the Aviva as part of The Eras Tour.

And now we know what else the singer got up to while she was on the island!
A fan of the Oscar-nominated film The Banshees Of Inisherin, Taylor took herself and her crew off to Mayo for a trip to Achill Island.
Taylor's fondness of the film is well documented, and she brought up her fascination with the pub in particular, in an interview with the film's director Martin McDonagh.
“The pub that you built. It just blew my mind that that was something you built. It looked like it had been there forever,” Swift said to McDonagh in Variety's Directors On Directors.
And like the true fan girl she is, she took the opportunity to visit the film's location!
The Connaught Telegraph has reported that Taylor visited Cloughmore, where the fictional JJ Devine's Pub, the location of many of the scenes of the film were shot, was built.
Speaking to the Irish Independent, Catherine Kilbane of Achill Tourism said the news of Taylor’s visit has brought much excitement to the area.
"Yes, we believe that Taylor Swift visited Achill during her trip to Ireland for the sell out concerts," Kilbane said.
"We had extended an invitation to her via Instagram messages following her interview with Martin McDonagh before the Oscars for "The Banshees of Inisherin," and we also mentioned it on Morning Ireland.
"It was a very low-key visit, and we were absolutely delighted that she made time to see our beautiful island," Kilbane added.
"Discretion is something we pride ourselves on, as stars visit Achill regularly and they appreciate the peace and privacy we can offer. We're thrilled that Taylor enjoyed her time here,” she concluded.
