Look what you made us do! Swifties camp out overnight for Wembley gig

The 34-year-old megastar will play five concerts at Wembley Stadium, starting tonight, with fans queuing outside the venue for up to 24 hours to secure a prime spot at the gig. It follows the three dates she played in the capital in June.

First in the queue outside the stadium this morning was 19-year-old Chloe, who had been making bracelets in the line since 11.30am yesterday and spent the night sleeping in a tent on the stadium’s concourse.

The Surrey resident, who has never seen Swift before, said: “I’ve been looking forward to this since the tickets were announced. Even though it’s a lot of time camping, in reality it’s not long compared to how much we have wanted it. We are fine being uncomfortable for a bit to have a really good night — but next time we will get a mattress.”
