Are you ready for it? For the next two days, Taylor Swift is the Honorary Mayor of Santa Clara, or Swiftie Clara, and she's taking the stage Friday for her concert series at Levi's Stadium.
However, just outside and overnight, San Jose resident Jocelyn Jimenez waiting to buy merch said, "We got here at 11, but we thought it was going to open at 10."To clarify, Jimenez and Zaira Mendoza got to the lot at 11 p.m. last night. Doors to the Official Merchandise truck are not scheduled to open until 2 p.m. on Friday.
"Realistically, when we got here, I thought there's going to be a whole bunch of people, we'll be like 100th in line," Jimenez told ABC7 News. "But then we got here and it was pitch black and there was nobody." They were the first of hundreds of Swifties who, by mid-morning, were seated in a line that snaked through Green Lot 1 at Levi's Stadium.
"I thought it was opening at 10 a.m., I got here at 6:30 a.m.," Jan Ellard explained. "I was supposed to be here around 7 a.m., but I just got on the train early and I'm taking one for the team - for my daughter who's working today."Ellard's shopping list includes crewnecks, sweatshirts, and a bag. She's grabbing these items before she and her daughter attend Saturday night's concert.
