Taylor Swift's dedicated fans are rushing to Wembley Stadium as the famous singer gets ready to perform five nights of concerts. This will mark the end of the European portion of the Eras Tour.

With their friendship bracelets and sparkling outfits, fans are ready for the event. The Metropolitan Police have reassured everyone that keeping everyone safe is their main concern.

This follows a failed terrorist scheme at the pop star's concerts in Vienna last week, resulting in three performances being canceled and leaving many fans, also known as Swifties, feeling let down.

Following the incident that led to the arrest of three teenagers, additional safety measures have been implemented for Swift's upcoming London concerts.

Wembley Stadium has asked fans who do not have tickets to not come to the venue to try to listen outside. Anyone who tries to do this will be asked to leave.

A fan of Taylor Swift told the media that she waited in line for over 24 hours to see the singer of the popular song 'Love Story'. She started waiting outside Wembley Stadium at 11 am on Wednesday to get the perfect spot for the concert.

Identified as Coco, the 19-year-old described the adventure of sleeping outside and making new friends as an integral part of the Eras Tour journey, marking her inaugural time attending a concert by the artist.

"We aimed to arrive as soon as possible, we aimed to be the pioneers because you get the finest sight and you have the most room," she expressed.

The teenager said, "It's much more chill. Some people might feel uneasy about camping, but I think it's a blast. You can socialize with new people."

Yesterday, we had the whole place to ourselves until 8 pm. We were just chillin, crafting some bracelets, but once others started showing up, the vibe became so pleasant. Everyone shared similar hobbies and it was great chatting with everyone.

I have never laid eyes on her before, so this is a new experience for me. That's why I was eager to be at the front, wanting to secure the best position possible for myself.

We purchased tickets during the early presale, the very first ones available. We registered for that opportunity a year and a half in advance.

The tickets cost £275 each, and the VIP package comes with posters, cards, a lanyard, a box, a tote bag, and a holographic ticket for the concert. It's a great extra bonus. Additionally, you'll have early access for an extra £100.

The teenager added that she felt secure, even though some fans were worried about the London shows following the thwarted Vienna scheme.

She also mentioned that many individuals were not willing to stay in a campsite, but she personally felt extremely secure during her camping experience. This was due to the presence of two security guards who were constantly monitoring the area and ensuring safety, which made her feel very at ease.

Wembley Stadium has told fans not to bring certain items with them like chains, studded jewelry, loud noise-makers, and aerosol containers.

One Swiftie, who is also 19 years old, had a unique experience while waiting for the superstar. Martyna Smoniewska received her exam results while in line and was thrilled to find out she achieved distinctions in her BTecs. This accomplishment now allows her to pursue her dream of studying broadcast journalism at Nottingham Trent University.

The happy person who bought a £277 VIP ticket shared: "My best friend and I woke up at 5 am today. We traveled from Nottingham yesterday. It took us around two hours to get ready, so we arrived here by 7 am."

"We are thrilled and also extremely anxious."

Also reassured by the significant police presence, she commented: "I don't feel anxious at all."

There are many police officers around, and everyone we've talked to has been very friendly and made an effort to ensure our safety.
