This was the line to buy merchandise outside of the Linc right before the trailer opened.
Swift's first of three concerts -- not far from her hometown in Berks County -- doesn't start until Friday at 6:30 p.m., but fans said Thursday they're here.
She's ready for it and so are her fans.
Evelyn Katona of King of Prussia was the first fan in line said she got to the Linc before midnight with a list of things to buy for family and friends. She made some $700 worth of purchases.
"They didn't have the right sizes, they were out of a lot," Katona said. "So I had to upsize and I had to scratch one of my friends off because she needed an extra small and they didn't have anything in extra small."
But was it worth it?
"Yes and no," Katona said.

The merch trailer will stay open in parking lot K outside the Linc until 7 p.m. Thursday.
