Over 70,000 ‘Swifties’ had gathered in the city to welcome superstar Taylor Swift open the European leg of her Eras tour. Merchanside outlets, and burger, pizza and fish and chip stalls struggled to keep up with the queues, dressed in Swiftie-themed clothing to match their hero.
Her three-hour set didn’t disappoint, containing many huge hits from across her varied catalogue. Predictably, the weather DID disappointed – torrential rain – but like a true professional Taylor was fully prepared.
You had to be there to realise why she performs in swimsuits so often.
