Those who don’t have a ticket for the concerts on Friday, the 24th, and Saturday, the 25th of May, by Taylor Swift at the Estádio da Luz, in Lisbon, are already circulating the streets around the Ritz Four Seasons Hotel Lisboa, in the vague hope that the artist will be seen at the window or leaving the hotel for the stadium. It will be difficult for anyone to see her, since after choosing the hotel, only the requirement was made for absolute privacy, that is, that no one interact with Taylor Swift inside the hotel. Still, he received it in his room this morning, and will receive it again on Saturday, an iced tea from Starbucks and a slice of pumpkin bread. He also stipulated the condition of having direct access to the garage, for quick exits and entrances, and required a vehicle that would lose paparazzi, equipped with tinted windows to maintain privacy on the streets of the capital.

From what Boa Cama Boa Mesa was able to ascertain, the entire third floor of the Ritz Four Seasons Hotel Lisboa is reserved for the singer and the closest team. With ten floors, the chosen floor has ten deluxe rooms and four junior suites, which can cost €3000 per night, spread over 282 square meters. However, it is not guaranteed that Taylor Swift will stay on this floor, as absolute privacy is achieved in the presidential suite, on the tenth floor, with views of Parque Eduardo VII, the Tagus River and Castelo de Sà Jorge, which can cost €17000. The presidential suite, with 247 square meters, it has five private balconies, marble entrance, a large living room, with two three-seater sofas, as well as a chaise longue and armchairs. The bed is extra large and, next to it, there is a spa bath in the bathroom. It also has a dressing room with a spacious wardrobe. The elegant and luxurious decoration takes guests back to the 18th century, with replicas of furniture from that time, mixed with some pieces of contemporary art. Especially because Taylor Swift will not be alone in Lisbon. Her boyfriend Travis Kelce, an American football player, who is expected to travel to Portugal today, Friday, joins the singer, and it is announced that the couple will leave the capital on Sunday morning to watch the Grand Prix of the Monaco in Formula 1.
