Hardcore devotees of the singer-songwriter, who travelled from as far afield as Australia and the States, are beginning to form queues 12 hours before the first gig kicks off tonight.

And one superfan admitted she has camped out since Wednesday -despite strict rules around the stadium’s residential area.

She told Sky News this morning: “This is probably once in a life time, she might never come back here again – let’s be real.

“Last time she came here was 2015, you know you had to be here.

“I’ll be honest, I am not really excited right now, I am freezing, I need the toilet – I’m sort of suffering, but I feel like at the end it will be worth it.

“She’s just so unique, there is no one like her – she has a song for everyone.”

Dozens of fans have already arrived at the venue to get the best view down the front.

They looked in high spirits despite wearing bright ponchos and shiny foil blankets to protect them from the unpredictable Scottish weather.

Vendors have also began popping up selling flower crowns, feather boas and cowboy hats for those looking to add even more flair to their glittering gig outfit.

Around 220,000 Scots Swifties are expected to descend on the city for the superstar’s much-awaited Eras Tour over the weekend.

Rumours that the global icon, 34, arrived at the Caledonian Hotel, formerly the Waldorf Astoria, ahead of her shows in Murrayfield last night.

And fans have been craning to get a glimpse of Swift in Edinburgh before she takes to the stage.

Four black BMW X5 4×4 cars were seen in the rear car park of the five-star hotel in the city centre late this morning.

And this has fuelled suggestions the Cruel Summer hitmaker will be there.

It comes as images of Murrayfield have given fans a sneak preview of the stage for Taylor Swift’s gigs.

Drone footage from above the stadium showed huge screens already set up for the hotly anticipated concerts.

The weather is set to be a mixed bag with scattered sunshine with a chance of showers throughout the weekend.
