They want to be as close as possible to their star. Taylor Swift fans arrive with sleeping bags and blankets to join the 10 tents set up amid security barriers in front of Place de la Défense in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine). The American star, whose latest album sold one million copies in one day, begins a long-awaited European tour on Thursday, May 9, at this Paris-area venue.

These “Swifties”, as the singer’s fans call them, did not hesitate to brave the cold day and night to get the best spot. However, there are not many people, Coralie believes: “I don’t know why I thought that, like in the United States or Latin America, there would be so many people camping weeks, or even months in advance.”“Explains the person who arrived on Wednesday morning. She is ten in this line.”“While I was already number 200 in the camp in Indochina.”she explained.

Maybe it’s the fault of the gray skies, it’s not that hot in Paris. Khais wrapped in a survival blanket: “I don’t know if it’s much help. The weather really tricked me.” But for Taylor Swift, he’s ready for anything: “She’s actually the first artist to become a billionaire solely through her music, and that says it all. She has such talent. She dedicates herself to music and I honestly find that admirable.”

Return trips to the hotel

To pass the time, these guys also sing and make “friendship bracelets,” friendship bracelets for Swifties. Then everyone goes back and forth to their hotel room. Because, like Mandy, everyone has rental housing. “I use the hotel room to keep all my things and shower, because contrary to what people think: we shower, we are very clean, and we don’t have any bad smell!”

Cleanliness comes at a price, including the ticket, transportation and rent, and some will spend 500 euros in the evening.
