Taylor Swift fever has struck London, with the singer arriving at Stansted Airport ahead of her upcoming London Eras Tour shows.
The 34-year-old pop sensation appeared to be in a party mood as she touched down with crates of booze ahead of Friday’s concert. The highly anticipated show is the first of three consecutive Wembley shows for the Shake It Off star.
Taylor and her crew stepped out of her lavish aircraft into the darkness, quickly loading up their 4x4s. Their arrival came just hours before Just Stop Oil activists broke into a VIP private airfield at Stansted Airport and spray painted aircraft.
A person has been arrested in connection with the break-in. Taylor’s plane is not believed to have been in the area when the activists struck.
Taylor’s arrival comes after successful shows in Scotland, Liverpool, and Cardiff, where the roof was closed for a unique atmosphere, as the UK leg of her massive global tour takes shape. Ahead of her London shows, Taylor ordered a massive £450 kebab from a tiny takeaway for herself and her beloved crew.
Kentish Delight, a shop in Kentish Town, is said to have taken the order, which a source says someone from Team Swift will pick up later that night. The source told The Sun, “It’s a big order, but the kebab house can handle it,” and even revealed what Taylor’s order from the restaurant looks like.
They blurted out: “Taylor adds garlic sauce to hers, as well as heaps of salad.”
The three sold-out gigs will be followed by five more in August, with Taylormania expected to boost the London economy by £300 million. Murals, a special Tube map, a Taylor trail, and a series of events have been planned to celebrate Swift’s arrival in London.
Fans have even announced plans to stage a “special moment” at some of her upcoming shows on her UK tour to express their affection for the musician.
Ahead of her London dates, some Swifties are organizing an audience display to show their support. Taylor is said to have “unhappy memories” of the capital city, with fans hoping to “ensure” that she “remembers” London because of “the love she receives”.
It remains to be seen what changes Taylor will make to her London shows following a series of surprises at her previous UK shows.
Taylor astounded her Welsh audience by greeting them in that language.
