The Eras Tour - Taylor Swift in Hamburg - Snakes since early morning
For some Taylor Swift fans, it's going to be a long day: Since last night, Swifties have been lining up before Volksparkstadion in queues. They're waiting for their star and hoping to secure a spot as close to the stage as possible. By 8:00 AM, there were already hundreds of fans, some in glittery outfits, others planning to dress up later. The show is expected to last three and a half hours.
She bought the tickets for the concert a year ago, and "I cried when I received the tickets," Nina recounted. For her, Swift's lyrics are particularly significant, as they express emotions she can identify with, Nina added.
The mood among the waiting crowd is good. The 18-year-old Isi from Hamburg has been waiting with her friends since 5:00 AM. She's excited about the concert. In front of them are three young women from Denmark. The 26-year-old Ingrid from Norway has been in her glittery outfit in the queue since 6:00 AM. She traveled specifically to Hamburg because Swift doesn't come to Norway.
Girls and young women make up the majority, but there are also committed male Swifties: "I couldn't sleep for a week, had nightmares that I'd be all the way in the back," Daniel said, who's been standing in the dark since 2:30 AM. Now he's really looking forward to it. Crew members distributed water bottles to the fans around noon. However, like in Hamburg, they had to put on rain gear over their glitter outfits.
