The hunt for the hottest Taylor Swift merchandise in Vancouver continued today at a newly opened official merchandise store.
Fans began lining up outside of The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver and along the seawall at 7 am for the official Taylor Swift Eras Tour Private Merchandise Pop-Up for Marriot Bonvoy members.
From now until December 7, Swifties can sign up for the loyalty program online or when they arrive at the Grand Ballroom for a chance to score some of the official Eras Tour swag.

The hot ticket items at the Taylor Swift merch pop-up included official T-shirts, water bottles, hoodies, and Eras Tour Vancouver posters.
Also being snapped up quickly were the fan-favourite blue crewneck sweaters, which are only available at in-person shops.
