Swifties gather in Zurich

Tuesday, 9 July 2024 06:30

Taylor Swift

Zurich police have been forced to put up barriers around the Mandarin Oriental Savoy after it was besieged by Taylor Swift fans.

The pop star is thought to be staying there ahead of her concerts. The first one is tonight.

Initially fans got right up to the doors and the crush nearly broke the glass. Police have now placed barriers to keep them away from the entrance and to allow the traffic to continue to flow.

The first fans have already started to queue for the concert as they’re hoping for a prime spot if they‘re one of the first to be allowed in. Some wanted to spend last night there, but that wasn’t allowed.
