The American singer will kick-off her three-day stint at Liverpool FC's Anfield Stadium tomorrow evening with 53,000 fans expected - as devoted 'Swifties' today raced for last-minute merchandise.
Are YOU seeing Taylor Swift ? Email [email protected] Taylor Swift fans have taken over Liverpool as the US superstar arrives on the latest leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour - with speculation swirling that Florence Welch, Lana Del Rey or Sir Paul McCartney could turn up on stage with her.
Swifties of all ages have travelled from far and wide to attend the sold-out show, with groups of women flocking in from the United States, Canada and across Europe.
Super fan Chloe Milner, 26, from the Wirral in Merseyside, is going to every one of Swift's shows in Liverpool. 'We booked it months and months ago. It was the only place we could get tickets and Canada was very, very expensive.' Linda and Jerry Benavides have travelled all the way from Seattle in the United States to see Swift in Liverpool - explaining that tickets to see her in America were extortionate.
Her mother Mary Duffy, 53, said: 'Sarah has a fear of flying but she overcame that fear today to come and see all the Taylor Swift installations in Liverpool. Anything for Taylor Swift.'Jasmine Gray, 31, had travelled from Jersey so her eight-year-old daughter Sophia could see her 'hero'.'She'll be wearing the 22 girl outfit. She's got the hat, the T-shirt, the sunglasses. All she needs to do is find Taylor to be the 22 girl.
A huge trail of Swift-themed art installations has been dotted in prominent positions across the city, with queues of fans standing to snap a quick picture at each spot. Taylor's fellow US pop star Lana Del Rey, pictured performing at the Primavera Sound Festival in Spanish city Barcelona last month, has also been suggested in speculation
Elsewhere Swifties were seen playing the star's hits - including Exile and Tolerate It - on a piano in Bluecoat Gardens, nodding to the singer's 2020 album Folklore. Mrs Barton-Jude said: 'We normally do art galleries but we thought this is new - we are very hip and with-it grandparents.' Chloe added: 'It's nice that it's in Liverpool rather than Manchester because normally we all have to go there.
Miss Openshaw said: 'The community feel will be amazing and I am so excited to see the Tortured Poets Department live.'Giant cut-outs of the singer were seen in shop windows while stalls on the high street prepared for the huge influx by selling pink cowboy hats and red sunglasses.Scarlett Shepard and Georgette Paul are among many flocking to the city for Taylor's shows
Dozens of fans queued up outside the merch store today to try and get their hands on T-shirts, selling for £40, £60 hoodies and posters costing £20.

Nicole Brinley, 37, and her group of girlfriends have travelled all the way from Boston in the US to see the artist. 'The price was good for Liverpool - everyone speaks English so we didn't have a language barrier and we thought it would be a good girls' trip.' Swift's concert on Thursday marks the 100th show in her Eras tour since she kicked off the world-wide show in Glendale, Arizona, on March 17 2023.
During her 72 hours in the Scottish capital the singer was not only given five-star reviews across the board for her performance but was praised for her generosity after making a sizeable donation to the Edinburgh Food Project.
