What is stopping big acts from playing Belfast?
Aisling Willighan, 26, has been a Swiftie - the term used by dedicated Taylor Swift fans - since the singer's debut album was released in 2006.
Aisling said she always ended up travelling to see artists she liked because they did not play in Belfast. She is thankful to be going to see Taylor Swift live but disappointed it will not benefit the Belfast economy. "I find, as a lot of Swifties do, Taylor's music helps you through things… I had invested a lot of my emotional happiness into getting these tickets," she confessed.A self-confessed Swiftie, Sarah-Lou McGrath said Swift's music has helped her through some tough times
