Must read

A family who travelled 5,000 miles were among the excited Taylor Swift fans who landed at Liverpool Airport for the star’s gigs at Anfield.

Taylor’s hat-trick of sold out gigs at the home of Liverpool FC begin tomorrow (June 13) and run until Saturday. There is plenty of anticipation for Thursday’s show in particular, as it is the 100th gig of Taylor’s Eras tour.




Fans, known as Swifities, have been speculating how Taylor will mark the occasion, which takes place on the 13th day of the month – the musician’s lucky number. Some theories suggest a new album could be announced, whereas others think she will bring out a special guest – possibly Paul McCartney.

There was excitement and speculation about the 100th show among fans who arrived at John Lennon Airport on Wednesday (June 12). A number of Taylor’s hits were playing from the airport’s speakers as passengers touched down in Liverpool.

Many arrived in Liverpool dressed in Taylor merchandise, with customary friendship bracelets on show. Angela Chairez and her daughter Alexa, 10, had travelled from Houston, Texas, for Thursday’s show. Their 5,000 mile journey involved two changes and included a city break in Dublin, before they flew over the Irish Sea today.

Alexa told the ECHO: “I’m really excited. Our friends are going to be there and they talked about it and I convinced my parents to come to Liverpool for this. We’re doing all The Beatles sights today as well, so that helped.”
