Taylor Swift fans were left furious after they were trapped outside Wembley on Thursday as the singer took to the stage to start his concert.
The 34-year-old Cruel Summer hitmaker is back in London for another five shows, with the first kicking off now.
However, MailOnline can reveal that some missed the first few issues – from the Lover era – as they waited for their wristbands.
Fans were angry when they were denied access to the stadium due to a maintenance issue, as security ran out of wristbands.
Fans begged to get in early so they wouldn’t miss the start of the show.

But MailOnline can reveal that some missed the first few issues – from the Lover era – while waiting for their wristbands
One concertgoer said: ‘It was chaos, they wouldn’t let anyone in without a wristband. They brought a few but they ran out and you had to wait ages before they gave you more.’

It is reported that the final leg of Taylor’s Wembley shows will be about “unity, love and bringing fans together” after a foiled terrorist attack during her performances in Vienna.
It’s been a tough time for Taylor, who was forced to cancel three performances Vienna this month after it emerged that ISIS had targeted her fans.
The plot came shortly after three young girls were murdered on a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport, Merseyside.
Her performance at Wembley on August 15 will be Taylor’s first since both incidents, which have undoubtedly been difficult for her to process.
A source told the The sun how she’s going to give ‘the best show of her life’ over the next five nights in London.
An insider told the publication: ‘Everything Taylor does, she does for her fans and she will put on the best show of her life when she returns to Wembley.
“Hate never wins and Taylor absolutely stands for that. Her shows are about love, unity and acceptance and that’s a message she always wants to get across.”
“They’ll be hard at work again tomorrow for the first night at Wembley. Annabel’s was packed as there were 200 of us but it was a great night. Everyone was so grateful for Taylor’s efforts.”

It is reported that the final leg of Taylor’s Wembley shows will be about “unity, love and bringing fans together”, following a foiled terror attack during her Vienna performances and the Southport stabbings.
Taylor returned to London the day before the second leg of the London tour began and threw a party for her crew at the private members’ club Annabel’s.
A source said The sun: ‘Taylor is one of the most generous pop stars out there and she threw this party to thank her team for all their hard work.
‘She rented Annabel’s for the night and set up a free bar so her team could let off steam.
The singer, who already performed three times in June, will conclude this leg of her tour with another five performances.
According to reports, private anti-terrorism security services could be deployed at her upcoming concerts to protect thousands of fans.
Sources claim the pop star needs extra security for her shows in response to the terrorist plot in Vienna.
Taylor was scheduled to perform for an estimated 170,000 fans at Vienna’s Ernst-Happel-Stadion on August 8, 9 and 10. Enhanced security measures were reportedly implemented before the three shows were canceled.
“Taylor is devastated. She’s devastated for the fans who have been waiting years to see her,” an insider told The Mirrorin the first indication of Swift’s reaction to the news.
“But the thought of what could have happened if the concerts had been the target of a terrorist attack is horrifying. She would never risk the safety of her fans.
‘The memory of what happened at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester is still very vivid in everyone’s minds. But she has told her team that she wants to return to Vienna as soon as possible in the future. She is very aware of how disappointed her fans in Austria are.’
The murderous perpetrator has not made any public statements since the alleged plot came to light.
Last week it was announced that a third suspect had been arrested.
The teenager, like the two others arrested earlier, is believed to have been radicalized by the Afghanistan-based ISIS-K.
According to police, the main suspect, a 19-year-old man, planned to attack the tens of thousands of Swifties gathered outside the Ernst Happel Stadium with knives and machetes.
The suspect is also said to have made explosives to “kill as many people as possible,” officials said.
“The group is seen as the greatest external terrorist threat to the continent,” said Vladimir Vorokov, the UN undersecretary for counterterrorism, who said the group has stepped up its recruitment efforts on the continent, according to ABC News.
The singer previously posted an emotional message following a knife attack during a dance class based on her songs, which left three children dead and six others seriously injured.
A 17-year-old boy remains in custody on suspicion of murder and attempted murder and is being questioned following the incident in Southport, Merseyside.
Eight other children were injured, five of whom – aged between six and 11 – were in critical condition, along with two adult women who “bravely tried to protect them”.

The American singer wrote on Instagram: ‘The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport continues to wash over me and I am just in complete shock.
‘The loss of lives and innocence, and the terrible trauma that everyone who was there, the families and the emergency workers, suffered.
“These were just little kids at a dance class. I really don’t know how I can ever express my condolences to these families.”
Thousands of pounds have been raised via a JustGiving page set up by fans to help the families affected by the tragedy and pay for the two funerals.
