Taylor Swift in Liverpool - a story of friendship bracelets, long queues, and travelling more than 4,000 miles to see the world’s biggest pop star

It's not uncommon to see a group of Mancunians run to catch the early morning train to Liverpool Lime Street, as many commute between the two Northern cities on a daily basis.

But this morning, the TransPennine Express 10:07am service was buzzing - and it's all because one of the world's biggest popstars is in town for the next three days.

Tonight, global superstar Taylor Swift takes to the stage at Anfield for the first of her three dates in the 'City of Pop'. With a strong musical heritage and famously known to love a party, it seems that the writing was in the stars that Swift should play in Liverpool, before moving on to Cardiff and London next week.
