Hundreds of fans of US pop star Taylor Swift have been camping in tents outside Argentina’s Buenos Aires River Plate Stadium since June, hoping to snag front-row view when she performs three shows from Nov 9.

According to a report by American music publication Pitchfork on Thursday (Nov 2), the fans – best known as Swifties – have been taking turns to stay in four tents erected outside the stadium. They all have one goal in mind: to get as close to the stage as possible.
