Taylor Swift fever overtakes Liverpool as incredible structures are spotted across the city ahead of Eras Tour’s 100th show at Anfield tonight – as 150,000 ‘Swifties’ prepare to descend upon 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. The wings, which Swifties can pose in the middle of for pictures to remember their tour visit by, are inspired by Taylor’s self-titled debut album as it was the start of a blossoming career.

For her second album, Fearless, a colorful mural has been created centred around her lucky number 13 which is surrounded by nods to various tracks from the LP including a white horse and the number 15. There is another mural dedicated to the musician to welcome her to Liverpool at the Phoenix Hotel, though this is not a part of the trail. Speak Now was Taylors third era and album, and it is marked by a crows of microphones all in the iconic lilac which was so prominent on the original artwork.

They are found in the Metquarter shopping centre, just upstairs from the fourth new installation – the giant Red lips behind a red sofa – which is another great photo-op. Visit Liverpool promises this piece is jam-packed with Easter eggs for fans to uncover referring to the album which boasted hit singles 22 and I Knew You Were Trouble.
