Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's Drivetime programme, she described listening to the band's back catalogue in her car during the journey to the venue, in an attempt to start learning the pieces.
"On the way I tried to listen to as much of the music as I could and take in as much as I possibly could," she said. "It was just boom, straight into it, into the whole thing.
"It was straight on stage. There was only about an hour left on sound checks so we just had an hour basically to just run through as much as we possibly could."
Éadaoin spent some more time running through the songs with the band's guitarist before playing in front of thousands of devoted Corrs fans.
It was the first time she had ever played any of their songs, though she was familiar with their back catalogue.
"I think there wouldn't be a person in Ireland that wouldn't have listened to the Corrs," Éadaoin said.
