It is a tradition among "swifties" to gather outside Taylor Swift's concerts to exchange wristbands and get pumped up before the concert. But now, stricter security measures are being introduced ahead of the star's five sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium in London. This follows the Austrian police stopping a planned terrorist attack against Taylor Swift's concert in Vienna.

The concerts in London have been brought forward and fans will also be let into the arena earlier than usual. According to Taylor Swift's website, it will also not be allowed to linger outside Wembley Stadium's entrances or on the stairs, "Olympic steps", leading up to the arena. People without tickets to the concerts will be turned away from the site.

The five concerts in London take place between August 15 and 20 and are part of the world star's ongoing "Eras tour".
