Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Argentina next week, according to reports. The superfan Swifties are sticking close to Buenos Aires’ River Plate Stadium in hopes of snagging the best general admission spots in the house for a trio of sold-out shows Nov.

9, 10 and 11.Snaking lines to snag Swift’s merch at previous tour stops has nothing on this wait.“We’ve been in this tent for five months,” a 21-year-old fan, who requested to remain anonymous, told Pitchfork.She admitted her parents aren’t aware of her sleeping arrangements, holding her place in line between her college classes and part-time job, revealing that she usually says she’s “visiting a friend” near the stadium.And she’s not alone — scores of tents line the sidewalk, appearing something like summer camp, friendship bracelets included.

One fan named Carmen said she’s spent 300 hours, or just over 12 days, sleeping outside in line. The makeshift campground’s co-organizers keep track of the participants, who must be over the age of 18.Tickets to the coveted world tour have been few and far between, regardless of the tour stop — unlucky fans who didn’t receive entry to the presale were forced to fork over hundreds, if not thousands, for their seats.

For those holding only floor tickets for next week’s shows, the stakes have never been higher to see their favorite pop star.The earlier the Swifties took their place in the line of tents, the better chance they’ll have at securing a spot close to the stage.Fans aren’t mandated to stay in the tents all day every day to keep their spot in line, although the ones who do earn brownie points among organizers.“The fact that there are so many people makes things easier.
