The capital of Ireland is ready for Swiftmania. Taylor Swift will perform three sold-out nights at the unique, state-of-the art Aviva Stadium in Dublin beginning Friday.
"I would say that she is an inspiration of strength. Even though she doesn't know me, she supports me every day when I put on my headphones," said Daniel Aguilar, 18, over X direct message in Portuguese. "I've been a fan since 'Folklore,' but I've always heard her songs on the radio and had several on my playlist."
The bar cashier lives in Ireland and has worked at Aviva Stadium for about a year. He's hoping Swift will make a surprise announcement Friday night.
"Maybe 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' or the physical 'Tortured Poets: Anthology,'" he said. The Swiftie was communicating from the floor of the concert venue in his Chiefs T-shirt and Swift sweatshirt.
"I'm very excited because it's my first time seeing her live," he said.

Aguilar snapped photos inside the Irish arena earlier this week capturing trucks on the floor setting up the massive stage. He caught a glimpse of the open-faced backdrop showing the "Folklore cottage" hanging in suspense.
"I found the stage assembly to be very quick. It took approximately 7-8 hours," Aguilar said. "I managed to see some parts of the set before they went backstage like the 'Folkmore' trees, the 'Down Bad' machine and the 'Tortured Poets' bed."
Swift has 28 shows left in Europe and 18 in North America. She stopped in Dublin on her world tours for "Speak Now," "1989" and "Reputation."
Her next stop is Amsterdam over the Fourth of July weekend.
