MIAMI GARDENS, Florida. – Excitement is rising in South Florida as Taylor Swift's highly anticipated “Eras Tour” heads to Hard Rock Stadium this week.

Fans who have been eagerly awaiting the tour since last year are already lining up to secure exclusive merchandise ahead of the performances.

The Taylor Swift merchandise store opened at the stadium Wednesday morning, drawing a steady stream of fans looking to purchase tour gear such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, posters and tote bags.

Among them were travelers fresh off the plane and heading straight from the airport to secure their belongings before checking into their hotels.

“We've had these tickets for a year and I'm so excited for the show,” said Maddie Frick, who flew in from Maryland. “It will be an incredible experience.”

“Incredible show. “It will be my last Eras tour,” said South Florida resident Nicole Hawkins. “I’m looking forward to everything.”

While the merchandise shop will be open to the public until Thursday evening, only ticket holders will have access to the venue after the concerts begin on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Lunch report:

Swifties are leaving no stone unturned as they prepare for the weekend's shows, with some even hoping to snag last-minute tickets outside the stadium.

Fans from across the country gathered in Miami to watch the pop star's performance, continuing the excitement that has accompanied Swift's record-breaking tour since it began.

Brynn Edgar, a dedicated Swiftie from Colorado, shared her excitement with Local 10 News, saying, “She's the best singer in the world.”

Others shared their opinion.

Kenzie Baker of West Virginia added, “I love Taylor and wanted to be able to visit her because I couldn't go to the first leg of the Eras tour.”

Maddie Frick, who traveled from Maryland, said she had waited a year to attend. “Have these tickets for a year,” she added.

South Florida native Nicole Hawkins stated, “It will be my last Eras tour…since I've already done it, so I'm looking forward to everything.”

For Hanna Morseman of Maryland, the experience is more than just a concert. “It’s a feeling — and the experience of being there,” she said.

Swifties of all ages, like April Edgar, a mom from Colorado, take part in the tour as a family event.

“We know all the lyrics to every song and we’re very excited,” she said.

Fan favorite songs like the 10 minute version of “Everything is too good” and lyrics from Swift's albums, including “Hey, Dorothea.” And “Karma is a god” filled the air as they prepared for the event.

“We jam all the time… every song means something different to us,” said Janier Sideregts, a South Florida mom and dedicated Swiftie.

The hype surrounding the concerts has “bejeweled” South Florida businesses like Night Owl Cookies in Miami.

Starting Friday, they'll be offering sweet cravings for a Swiftie's “wildest dreams,” including cookies inspired by Reputation, Midnights, Lover and Eras Tour.

“We really created cookies that represent my favorite albums that she covers on the Eras Tour,” said Andrew Gonzalez, founder of Night Owl Cookies. “The fans literally showed up the first time and sold out in less than an hour.”

Over in Brickell, Rosa Sky Rooftop is having a complete takeover with four “Perfectly Fine” blends like “Feeling 22” and “Lavender Haze.”

“We’re having a Taylor Swift tribute party like everyone should be,” said Rosa Sky Rooftop bartender Brielle Sterlace. “Totally redecorated, disco balls everywhere, lots of Taylor Swift merchandise and decorations for the nine.”
