“I met her when I was 17 at the Reputation tour in Manchester. I was so active on social media, she knew my name.

“It was the best thing that had ever happened to me.

“It's that community and the way people act that led me to doing my degree in marketing.”

Eve now works for Virgin Atlantic and plans to see Taylor six times this year on her Eras tour.
