Staunch fans had pitched up tents to make an impromptu camp outside the home of Scottish rugby overnight.

At least 12 tents were set up close to the stadium gates as fans travelled from all over the country to be among the first in line to see the Anti-Hero star.Other Swifties have packed out hotels in Edinburgh’s historic centre having jetted in from the far corners of the globe as the pop queen kicks off the British leg of her Eras tour in Edinburgh tonight, Saturday and Sunday before heading to Liverpool, Cardiff and Wembley.

This morning the first few hardy souls began gathering in Roseburn Park to wait for the entrance gates to open at 3pm this afternoon.

First in to the stadium tonight will be Amber Small, 19, from Aberdeen, who was at the front of the VIP section.

She said: ‘I can’t wait. I got here for 3am to be first in queue. I didn’t go to bed last night because I was so excited.

‘It was quite cold and dark but I’ve got my poncho on and I’m from North-East Scotland so I’m made of stern stuff.
