Taylor will then return to London in August for five more nights, bringing the total number of fans heading to the capital to 640,000.

And according to the Greater London Authority, they are expected to spend an average of £471 a person.

The Sun can reveal Taylor has also taken over a giant car park at the stadium to create a merchandise stall.

T-shirts will sell for £40, while hoodies are £70.

Tote bags come in at £25 a pop.

A second pop-up is in Hyde Park, Central London, for fans without tickets.

Taylor’s run is the most nights played at Wembley Stadium by a female solo artist in a single tour.

To celebrate her arrival the home of English football has been transformed.

Artist Frank Styles’ giant mural of Taylor’s face now adorns Wembley’s Spanish Steps.

They have been renamed the Swiftie Steps.

A second mural of the singer, by MurWalls and Humour Street Art, has appeared on the venue.

TfL have also released their London (Taylor’s version) Tube map.

Each line has been renamed after one of Taylor’s albums, with stations named after her songs.

In Vauxhall, The Black Dog pub, which is name-checked in one of Taylor’s latest songs, has been fully booked by fans on show days.

Gushing over her time in Britain, Taylor, who owns a mansion in North London, posted yesterday: “I’m absolutely living for these UK crowds.

“Next up: our weekend at Wembley!!

“See you tomorrow London!!”
