Taylor Swift fans, or "Swifties," lined up early Thursday morning to buy Swift swag at a merchandise truck outside Levi's Stadium ahead of the pop superstar's two weekend shows.
When the truck opened just after 10 a.m., an estimated 2,200 people were in line.
Brittany Jaffe of Sacramento, the very first person in line, waited eight hours. She decided to wait because she didn't want to waste time in line at the concert on Friday.
"I probably would not spend this much money or spend this much time trying to get merch and tickets," Jaffe said. "She’s the one."
A few spots back in the line was Rose Aguilar of Antioch, who said the wait was worth it because Swift has been a big part of her life.
"I’m a little older, but I still grew up with her and I grew up listening to her music," Aguilar said. "Now that I have my own daughter and she's also now a Taylor Swift fan listening to her music, and this is going to be her first concert experience, I wanted to make it memorable."
The sold-out concerts Friday and Saturday each are expected to have 58,000 fans on hand.
