We got the tickets a year ago, I have a very good friend who lives here and he managed to get in the queue and get the tickets, we were struggling to get them in South Africa.”

Lead said: “This is gold circle, so I think there are less people in this queue, so I think we are guaranteed a decent view. We paid around €200 , which I thought was alright because a lot of people in the US paid a couple grand for tickets.” “I think the appeal for Taylor Swift is that everyone can listen to her music and everyone can find something that they can relate to, and all her albums have different vibes.”

Twenty-six year old Demi has been a fan for over 13 years, and said she cannot wait to finally see her perform in the flesh. She added: “We are so excited, we have been waiting a year for this, really since we saw the show being posted from America.” The Tipperary native was attending the concert with her three friends. They joined the queue at 2pm, and before arriving were worried that it was even too late.
