Taylor Swift will perform to sell-out crowds at Anfield Stadium on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and her “magic” has come to Merseyside early with the Taylor Town Trail, a series of 11 artworks representing her albums which have been on display since Saturday. Fans, who have travelled from as far away as New Zealand and the United States for the Eras Tour, were posing for pictures with the installations on Wednesday, while queues formed at the stadium for early sales of the popstar’s merchandise. Hannah Horst, 25, had travelled to Liverpool from Wisconsin in America with Angela Jacoby, Sam Kappel, both also 25, and Hannah May, 23, after they failed to get tickets for her US gigs.
She said: “The city embraces it. We love that, we think that’s so great.” Taylor Swift kicked off the UK leg of her Eras Tour at the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh over the weekend (Image: Jane Barlow/PA) The friends, who said they expected to be “sobbing” during their idol’s concert, described Swift as a “welcoming space” and said they were “loving every minute” of the trip.
Emily Yorke, 20, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, said she was due to go to two of the Anfield concerts after attending a show in Edinburgh last week, but had travelled a day early to meet fellow fans on the Taylor Trail. She said: “I’m going to Cardiff next week and then London and then Amsterdam, Milan and Zurich as well. “She’s changed my life completely.
