Taylor Swift fans queued up overnight at SoFi Stadium, hours ahead of the star’s first Los Angeles show.

Despite being told they wouldn’t be allowed access to the site before midday, crowds gathered to try and get their hands on some merchandise before the start of the concert.

Swift is scheduled to perform six nights at the venue, beginning on Thursday 3 August, as part of her Eras Tour.

While fans are already lining up, the singer has been urged by officials in California to postpone her LA concerts and stand in solidarity with striking hotel workers.
