Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show in Lisbon descends into chaos as furious fans tear down a fence after learning the show had been delayed by an hour

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Lisbon descended into chaos on Friday as furious fans tore down a fence after waiting for hours in the blistering heat.

The Blank Space hitmaker, 34, kicked off the European leg of her Eras Tour on May 9 in Paris before heading to Portugal this weekend.

However, Taylor’s first show in the country did not get off to a great start as eager fans were left waiting outside for 45 minutes to enter the stadium

One fan who travelled to the Estádio da Luz stadium to see Taylor said: ‘I’m just sad, I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars to see Taylor. Please. I just want to be inside.’

Another fan who lives in Amsterdam and came to the concert with three of her friends claimed they waited in line for an hour and a half before getting sent outside.

She said: ‘We’ve been waiting in line for an hour and a half and we just got all the way to the stadium and then got sent all the way outside,

‘We’re herded cattle. There’s absolute chaos.’

It was reported that 200 fans broke through security gates and forced their way into the stadium, terrifying the security staff.

Before the concert, massive queues of fans could be seen starting to form outside the arena due to the delay as frustrated fans proceeded to yell at staff: ‘Let us in!’

Gates were due to open to those with standard tickets at 4pm, however, it was reported that the fans weren’t allowed in until 4:45pm.

A staff member at the stadium said: ‘There were loads of people pushing everyone. They tore the fence down.

‘There were only two security guards outside so extra security had to be deployed to deal with the rowdy fans.

‘They started to yell ”let us in, let us in”.
