Taylor Swift fever continues to grow in Edinburgh today as fans again queued for merchandise,
00:07
with fans arriving from all over the world today for the concerts this weekend,
00:11
with some even prepared to sleep outside for more than two days just to see the pop star up close and personal.
00:20
So this is first day and when are you seeing Taylor Swift?
00:23
Saturday.
00:24
So you're staying here until then?
00:26
How?
00:27
48 hours.
00:29
Wow. Just to keep your space in the queue?
00:33
Yeah.
00:34
Are you that determined to get to the front?
00:36
Yeah.
00:37
Wow. That is commitment. And where have you come from today?
00:40
Near Oxford, so it took 14 hours to get here.
00:43
Do you knackered?
00:45
No. I slept on the coach. It wasn't that bad. I had a 10 hour coach so I literally slept for half of it, like literally all of it.
00:52
You're feeling fresh just now?
00:54
Yeah.
00:55
And what about, did you not just think about getting a hotel room or was that too expensive?
00:58
I've got a hotel. That's with me.
01:00
At the front?
01:01
That's at the front.
01:02
Okay.
01:03
Yeah.
01:04
So is that just to go back to when the concert's finished then?
01:06
It's just to hold my bags there.
01:08
Yeah.
01:09
And then we just have somewhere to stay after the show and then we'll just leave in the morning.
01:13
We have a tent. It's probably very small. Can we put it up though?
01:18
I don't know. That lady there, she says she's got a tent but she's not put it up yet.
01:22
Yeah.
01:23
So somebody might come and give you up.
01:25
I don't know if I've got the abilities to be honest.
01:28
But is it all going to be worth it?
01:30
Yeah.
01:31
And have you seen Taylor before?
01:32
No.
01:33
No, so it's your first time. So you're looking forward to it?
01:35
Yeah.
01:36
I'm from the Netherlands.
01:37
Alright, so is this the first time you've seen Taylor?
01:39
No, no. We've seen her before.
01:41
Alright, so how many times?
01:42
Not this door.
01:43
Yes.
01:44
So a different show?
01:45
Sorry?
01:46
Different show?
01:47
Yeah.
01:48
So you're looking forward to this weekend?
01:49
Yes, very much.
01:50
Is that you're going to get some merchandise just now?
01:52
We've got our VIP package and now we're getting our merch.
01:56
I am from Charleston, South Carolina in the States.
01:59
And he is from Hilton Head, South Carolina in the States as well.
02:03
So how long did it take you to get here?
02:05
It took me about 15 hours? 16 hours?
02:08
Yeah, about 15 hours.
02:09
Not cheap?
02:10
Not cheap.
02:11
Worth every penny?
02:12
Yeah.
02:13
The hotels aren't cheap and the concert's not cheap but it's worth it.
02:16
Yeah, we're very excited that this purchase.
02:19
We've been waiting for like a year.
02:21
For this one.
02:22
So we'll see you, Taylor. See ya.
02:24
Was it worth the wait?
02:25
Definitely.
02:26
What are you most excited about seeing? What song are you most excited about seeing tomorrow night?
02:30
I'm excited for the surprise songs.
02:33
Yeah, okay.
02:34
I'm excited for Taylor's album.
02:36
Yeah, definitely.
02:38
Way back on our childhood we were watching Taylor Swift on MTV and things like that.
02:44
And now we get the chance to meet her in person.
02:48
Like I mean in a concert.
02:50
And this is her first concert after COVID.
02:54
So yeah, we're really excited.
