The Liverpool FC stadium was transformed into a sea of pink and red as many devoted Swift fans – known as Swifties – waited patiently for the doors to open in the rain.
The American superstar will kick off her three-day stint in Merseyside in front of a 53,000-strong crowd at 7pm tonight as she continues the latest leg of her Eras tour.
Fans crowded into the stadium not allowing the pouring rain to affect their mood.
‘Nothing could dampen our spirits today,’ Reece Edwards, 22, from Manchester who dressed up in the Reputation Era told MailOnline.
Dressed in coordinated sparkly dresses with her friends Lucy Powell, 16, added: ‘We too excited. We got the tickets a year ago and we are so excited to see her perform Reputation songs.
‘We have made more than 100 bracelets while waiting for the show.’
Many Swifites have spent hours making friendship bracelets to trade with fellow fans who have flown from all over the world for the show, which will cover all of the singer’s albums to date.
Hundreds were spotted wearing themed outfits. Some wore shimmery purple dresses in line with her third studio album Speak Now or dressed up how Swift appeared in her 2012 music video 22.
Others decided to dress up in fashion with her later albums. Amy Patterson, 30, and Rachel Varney, 33, were spotted in bright orange jumpsuits after taking from one of Swift’s songs on her 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department.
‘We have our jumpsuits on, we are Fresh Out the Slammer,’ Miss Patterson said. ‘We made most of our costumes last night.’
Dressed in a sparkly dress and cowboy hat Elan Mabbutt, 17, who traveled with her sister Alice, 16, from Aberystwyth in Wales for the show said: ‘I am so excited. I’ve been excited for ages and we got a puppy this morning so this is the best day.
