From hoodies and T-shirts to bracelets and water bottles, there is a wide range of Taylor Swift merchandise available to buy at the UK Eras tour dates.

However, there is one particular ‘secret’ item that will come in useful for British Swifties who may be battling less-than-ideal weather conditions.

Fan Hannah Coventry attended one of the Edinburgh dates of the tour and headed to the merch stand early as it opened at 10am, reports Glasgow Live.

She realised that there was one piece of merchandise that staff were wearing but didn’t appear to be listed for sale – a poncho.

The Eras-tour-themed item is clear with countless pictures of Taylor’s face on her different album covers plastered across it.

Excited, Hannah took to Facebook to share photos of it and pen: ‘Edinburgh Swifties, my friend and I were at Murrayfield tonight to get merch and noticed one of the staff members wearing an eras tour rain poncho!

‘They didn’t have them advertised, so I asked the girl at the merch stand and she said it’s a ‘secret item’ that they don’t advertise.

‘They were £8 each and soooo cute we needed to buy them. Just a little tip for anyone getting merch tomorrow, just ask.’

It’s unknown whether the ponchos are being sold at the other UK tour dates but as Hannah said, the only way to find out is to ask.

The Liverpool Anfield Superstore sold merchandise from 10am on Thursday and will do so on Friday and Saturday too – you do not need a ticket to purchase merch.

It comes as fans braved the cold this morning draping themselves in blankets as they began queuing outside the Anfield Stadium ahead of the pop star’s performance in Liverpool tonight.

Devoted Swifites have been standing outside the home of Liverpool FC since 3am in a bid to get as close to the American singer as possible.

Not put off by the unusually cold June weather, fans of all ages and from all over the world were in high spirits as they counted down the hours to finally see their icon in person.

Taylor, who has been performing on her Eras tour for more than a year now, kicks off her three-day stint in Merseyside at 7pm tonight in front of a 53,000-strong crowd.
