More than **150,000 Swifties** have flocked to the city, which has been transformed with **11 installations**.

Claire McColgan, director of the council's Culture Liverpool team, mentioned that the buildup to the concerts has created **'an incredible atmosphere across the whole city'**.

She noted that **'the queues are just chatting amongst themselves and people are having real moments of coming together with people they don't know.

'**Julia, a long-time Taylor Swift fan, said she became **'obsessed'** with the artist over the past year and was **'quite interested'** to see if she would **'make it through without crying.

'** She said, **'When I saw she was doing the Eras Tour, I just had to go, because she’s doing every possible album.

I am just so inspired by her passion and her drive and I think what she is doing is so inspirational, especially for women, and she is just so inclusive with all types of people.

'**Hannah Horst, 25, traveled to Liverpool from Wisconsin in America with Angela Jacoby, Sam Kappel, both also 25, and Hannah May, 23, after they failed to get tickets for her US gigs.

The friends, who said they expected to be **'sobbing'** during their idol's concert, described Swift as a **'welcoming space'** and said they were **'loving every minute'** of the trip.

It is claimed that the singer's Eras tour will provide a **£997 million boost** to the UK economy, according to a recent Barclays Swiftonomics report.

One Swiftie said she was **'so excited'** to celebrate her **'13 years cancer-free on the 13th with Taylor,'** adding that **'13 is Taylor's number.

'** Cali's mother, Mindy, expressed her excitement, saying, **'I haven't heard of other cities doing what Liverpool is doing, so we are really excited to get to experience it.

'** She added, **'It's amazing that she's coming here.

It's such a good vibe.

It's just going to be a brilliant atmosphere.

'** Her niece, Ellie Dohthwaite, 18, who will be at the concert with her, added, **'I've literally cried every morning, I'm so excited.

'**A **Liverpool Loves Taylor** information stand will be in operation at Liverpool Lime Street Station until **15 June**.
