IF THESE ARE GETTING EXCITED. THIS IS THE MOMENT THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR HOURS. TAYLOR SWIFT'S MURCH TRUCK OPENED THIS MORNING. ONE DAY BEFORE THE BIG STAR HITS THE STAGE IN THE SOUTH BAY. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I'M JULIAN GLOVER. >> I'M TO -- CHRISTIAN. WE ARE REPORTER IN SANTA CLARA WHERE FANS STARTED LINING UP OVERNIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WAS THIS WORTH IT? >> I THINK SO. ACCORDING TO THE FANS, I TALKED TO A WOMAN WHO WAS THE FIRST PERSON HERE. SHE WAS HERE AT MIDNIGHT. SHE GOT A TODD OF MURCH. THEY ACTUALLY OPENED THE TRUCK A LITTLE LATE. 20 AND IT'S LATE. I'M TOLD THERE WAS SOME KIND OF WI-FI ISSUE WHAT THEY SAID IT WAS STILL WORTH IT. ALL THESE FANS ARE STILL OUT HERE. THEY'RE WAITING TO GET THEIR MURCH. FANS HAVE BEEN LINED UP FOR HOURS. WE WERE HERE WITH THEM SINCE BEFORE DAWN. TAKE A LOOK. >> THIS TIME LAPSE VIDEO SHOWS HOW LONG THE LINE GOT AS FANS WAITED FOR THE OFFICIAL TAILORS WITH MERCHANDISE TRUCK TO OPEN. >> TODAY, I AM BUYING THE COVETED THING THAT EVERYONE IS AFTER. >> THE FIRST FAN WAS CAMPING OUT NEAR LEVI'S STADIUM SINCE MIDNIGHT. MANY WITH BLANKETS, WARM CLOTHES AND LAUNCHERS. THIS WITH THE EVEN BROUGHT AN AIR MATTRESS. TO PASS THE TIME, SOME PLAY CARDS AND MAKE FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS. >> SWIFTIES HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A FRIENDSHIP BRACELET LIKE TAYLOR SAID THE SONG AND TRADE THEM AT THE CONCERT BID >> THIS TOWARDS COMING TO SANTA CLARA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. LEVI'S STADIUM IN SANTA CLARA POLICE HAVE MADE IT CLEAR. HAVING A TICKET IS THE ONLY WAY TO ENJOY THIS SHOW. NO TAILGATING IS ALLOWED OR IS CALLED, TAILGATING OR TAYLOR GETTING. SANTA CLARA COUNCILMEMBER KATHY WANT TO NOT BE DISAGREES WITH THE POLICY. >> IS NOT FAIR. IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO COME, THEN COME. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, USE COMMON SENSE. >> I WILL BE TAILGATING OUTSIDE BOTH EYES. >> YOU WILL BE. BUT THEY ARE SAYING DON'T DO IT. >> I KNOW, BUT THE PUBLIC STREET. YOU CAN'T REALLY KICK US OUT OF THAT. WE WILL BE IN THE AREA AND YOU KNOW. WE WILL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. >> ARE THEY ALLOWING PEOPLE TO TAILGATE FOR 49ER GAMES? THEN I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH WHY THEY WOULDN'T LET US. WE ARE NOT A THREAT OR ANYTHING. >> WHILE THEY ARE GETTING MURCH TODAY, MOST SWIFTIES ARE ALREADY HAVING CONCERT OUTFITS PICKED OUT. >> WE ARE DRESSING UP AS TWO DIFFERENT STREET SIGNS THAT SHE REFERENCES IN HER MUSIC. >> WE ARE DOING A LITTLE ELABORATE OUTFIT, BUT WE WILL BE WEARING THIS MURCH EVERY DAY. >> DEFINITELY. >> EVERY DAY. >> A LOT OF EXCITEMENT OUT HERE. BACK YOUR LIFE, YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE STILL WAITING IN LINE TO BUY MURCH. THEY WILL BE WAITING UNTIL 7 P.M.. I'M TOLD THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT HERE, AND SOMEONE TOLD ME THEY WERE EXPECTING AS MANY AS 20,000 PEOPLE TO MAKE THEIR WAY HERE BETWEEN THE MORNING WHEN THEY OPENED UNTIL 7 P.M.. JUST TO GET THAT MURCH. WE ALSO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TICKET, AGAIN, THEY ARE ASKING THAT YOU DON'T COME OUT HERE AND TAILGATE. ALSO, POLICE ARE REMINDING EVERYONE THAT THERE WILL BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC OUT HERE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. IF YOU CAN, TRY TO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. IT IS JUST SO MUCH FUN OUT HERE, TALKING TO ALL OF THESE SWIFTIES. TO SEE, THEY ARE WAITING FOR HOURS, AND THEY THOUGHT ABOUT LEAVING. VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR MURCH. I GOT SOME MURCH. I WAS GIVEN A FRIENDSHIP BRACELET. I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED AS A SWIFTIES FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. >> LIVE IN
