fans camp outside the venue waiting for the superstar

CONCERT – Fans arrived in large numbers and very early this Thursday, May 9, for Taylor Swift’s first concert evening at La Défense Arena. The American singer starts the European part of her “Eras Tour” in Paris with four concerts until May 12.

As you can see in our video at the top of the article, the queue was already filling up as early as 9 a.m. Thursday morning. Some came from far away to see their favorite artist. Around fifty fans even spent the night in a tent to be sure of having a good seat at their idol’s concert. “ We literally slept for two hours. “, says a fan on her TikTok account.

A highly anticipated visit to France

The Arena square has been full for several days now. The merchandising stand offering t-shirts, water bottles and even bracelets attracted many swifities (Taylor Swift fans, editor’s note) who queued for hours to treat themselves to a souvenir.

It must be said that this concert was eagerly awaited by the French since Taylor Swift’s last visit to France was 13 years ago. A feeling of anticipation all the more reinforced as the American very recently released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.

For the concert hall too, the event is exceptional. In total, 180,000 tickets were sold, or 45,000 seats each evening, a record. Taylor Swift’s four concerts in Paris promise to be grandiose, and this should continue in Lyon where the singer will go on June 2 and 3.
