Welcome to Taylor town! Taylor Swift fever in Liverpool as incredible structures spotted across city

Taylor Swift mania has swept across Liverpool ahead of her 100th Era’s Tour performance in the city tonight.

Anfield will host the megastar for three consecutive performances from Thursday to Saturday and the 150,000 Swifties descending on Liverpool for the shows have been offered the unique experience of reliving each of her 11 ‘eras’ through incredible structures scattered around the ‘Taylor Town Trail’.

Swifties’ dedication to their idol is in no doubt after Edinburgh revellers could be heard for miles singing along to her hits last weekend and even got animated enough for seismologists nearby to record tremors up to four miles away.

Despite a warning from Merseyside Police not to camp outside the stadium before Liverpool’s opening show, many excited and defiant Swifties braved the cold overnight anyway.

On that evidence, there will be no shortage of visitors for Liverpool’s 11 art installations – each inspired by one of the singer’s albums – which are open until the end of the weekend.

The structures include a set of giant red lips and a heart tunnel, but the first stop is a pair of 7ft-high butterfly wings at the Royal Albert Dock.
