Taylor Swift fans in Vancouver line up for merch
Taylor Swift Fans Flock to Vancouver for Record-Breaking Eras Tour Merchandise
Fans of Taylor Swift were out in full force in Vancouver, eagerly waiting in line to get their hands on exclusive merchandise to commemorate the singer’s historic Eras Tour.
The line of dedicated fans wrapped around Vancouver’s downtown pier, showcasing the excitement and anticipation leading up to the three upcoming concerts in the city.
Sadie Hotte and her mother Laura were the early birds of the day, arriving at a staggering 4 a.m. Although they initially thought they were in the wrong place due to the lack of people, other fans soon joined them, solidifying their dedication to securing coveted merchandise.
Hotte expressed their eagerness to purchase the highly sought-after blue crewneck sweater, an item exclusively available at Swift’s tour stops. The duo’s early arrival was strategic, aiming to outsmart resellers who were eager to snatch up merchandise for inflated prices online.
Despite the early hour, the Hotte women found joy in the experience, bonding with fellow fans, exchanging friendship bracelets, and creating lasting memories in anticipation of the concert.
Taylor Swift is set to perform in Vancouver on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, marking the grand finale of her Eras Tour.
Destination Vancouver estimates that Swift’s visit will inject approximately $157 million into the city’s economy over the weekend, with $97 million attributed to direct spending on accommodations, food, and transportation.
With an impressive 160,000 ticket holders for the sold-out Vancouver shows, Swift’s tour has made history by surpassing $1 billion in revenue, as reported by music trade publication Pollstar.
