The concert of the century finally comes to the UK tonight and we have just one question: are you ready?
Taylor Swift kicks off her UK run in Edinburgh tonight, and fans are pulling out all the stops to ensure their performance is just as captivating for the crowd as the pop star herself.
In fact, fans have spent so much time and money trying to get the perfect outfits for the show that DIY and trade retailer Wickes has had to stock up on essential DIY tools.
The 34-year-old is playing a sold-out venue at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and DIY retailer Wickes is reporting a rise in sales of glue guns due to their popularity for customising costumes for his record-breaking Eras tour.
Glue gun sales have soared 20% compared to the same period last year.
Fans dropped everything to get tickets, practiced all the lyrics and dance routines, and created their own bejeweled outfits so they could shine all night long alongside Taylor.

This record-breaking tour is expected to bring in around £1 billion into the UK economy, and with 1.2 million fans expected to attend the shows, it's only natural that everyone will want to stand out.
TikTok users are showing off their DIY skills, from recreating Lover bodysuits to replicating Reputation Snake playsuits.
Since many of us don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on customized clothing, people have turned to upcycling and making their own clothes.
And it makes sense: Taylor has always encouraged her fans to make and exchange personalized friendship bracelets to share with the crowd and with her, so there's no reason why they wouldn't go the extra mile for her biggest concert to date.
With over 76,000 videos tagged “#erastouroutfits” on TikTok, it's no wonder fans of the “Love Story” singer have been flocking to glue guns and other DIY tools to create the perfect “Era's Tour” look.
Shelley Allison, head of marketing at Wickes, said: “This is a significant increase in sales which we expect to increase further once Taylor Swift begins her UK tour.”
“We have ample stock in our store, so of course we welcome anyone who needs to DIY their costume!”
To make an entire room sparkle with DIY outfits, shoppers can buy a universal glue gun kit from Wickes for just £16.50.
Glue guns are great for beginners and can be used on clothing, shoes, concert signs, posters and much more.
It also comes with six glue sticks and a support stand, allowing for hours of decorating.
Is Taylor Swift Eras merch worth the price?
Ahead of heading out to see Taylor perform live, Fabulous Digital writer Leanne Hall shares her opinion on whether the merch is actually worth the price.
“As a 29-year-old Swift fan who was in the top 0.1% of Taylor’s listeners on Spotify last year, I can say that I’m super excited to see her on her Ella tour in London later this month.
“With a setlist that stretches out over three hours, it's no wonder Taylor was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year. Fans lucky enough to get tickets know they're about to see the concert of the century.”
“The Eras tour has catapulted the singer-songwriter into the millionaire league – it's no wonder tickets are costing nearly £700 in the UK.
“The tickets were expensive, but her merch was not that different in price to most artists, and I would be willing to pay hundreds of dollars to get a tour sweater or T-shirt.”
“£70 for a hoodie would make me hesitate if I was buying it in the shops, but this is no ordinary hoodie.
“Sure, you'll look great wearing it to the store, but it's also something you can cherish forever as a memory of the day and look back on fondly. For me and many other Swifties, nothing beats that price.”

While the Lovers bodysuit appears to be the most popular DIY outfit, other notable outfits include one woman's “Picture To Burn” ensemble.
She wore a fiery outfit and handmade a T-shirt with pictures of all of Taylor's ex-boyfriends.
Another DIY pro recreated Taylor's bejeweled diamond corset featured in the music video.
