Taylor Swift has come to Europe for the other leg of "The Eras Tour." Tickets sold out like hotcakes, and the organizers will have difficulty ensuring everything goes according to plan. It's not just about the safety and enjoyment of the fans but also about the singer's demands.

As the American star's arrival in European cities approaches, the atmosphere gets more intense, and rental and hotel room prices are skyrocketing. This does not deter fans from paying huge amounts of money.

These are Taylor Swift's requirements during concerts

Before performances by world-famous stars, organizers must consider their requirements. Sometimes, they request a specific room temperature or even sports equipment.

Others issue unique lists of things that may or may not be found at their accommodation. For example, singer Van Halen does not want brown M&M's candies on their tables.

And how is it in the case of Taylor Swift? During her previous concerts in Europe, though on the same tour, the media wrote about her demands, but for most people, they are understandable. The star cares about her own safety, as well as that of her band, but above all, her fans. She also asks the organizers to ensure she has the appropriate diet.

When the artist performed in Paris, she asked the local representatives to include in her accommodation, among other things, a bottle of grape juice, six Diet Pepsi drinks, a stick of butter, one litre of chocolate milk, or mac & cheese.

However, her demands are sometimes absurd if reports are to be believed. According to "Daily Mail Celebrity," when Taylor Swift performed in Lisbon, she requested that the wardrobe where she kept her clothes be lined with Swarovski crystals. She also requested a private resting area, Twizzler candy, and fresh flowers in extravagant vases.

Other sources reported that the singer required 100 bottles of mineral water and Ben & Jerry's ice cream. After 11:00 PM, she wanted her favourite Americano coffee, but it had to be from a Starbucks cafe.
