Stockholm, Sweden - Stockholm on Friday welcomed Taylor Swift for the second leg of her European Eras Tour that has boosted the city's economy but also brought Swiftflation and a struggle to get a hotel room.

The weak Swedish currency, the krona, means tickets for Swift's three Stockholm dates are more affordable than elsewhere for many foreigners.

Fans around the world seem to have heeded Swift's lyric "Grab your passport and my hand," with Swifties from 130 countries flocking to Stockholm. Many waited through the night outside the Stockholm arena before the star's first concert on Friday.

"In total, we will see approximately 150,000 people attending the concerts in Stockholm. Of them, 120,000 will be traveling to Stockholm," Stockholm Chamber of Commerce chief economist Carl Bergkvist told AFP.

"They will be spending approximately half a billion Swedish kronor ($46 million) during their stay here in Stockholm," he said.

That is money dished out on hotels, meals, shopping, and transport, among other things, but not concert tickets or flights, Bergkvist said.

After opening her European tour in Paris last weekend, Swift's Stockholm shows are her only dates in the Nordic region.

The Visit Stockholm tourism agency was also in on the hype, with its webpage on Friday proudly declaring, "Welcome to Swiftholm."

Last-minute tourists will struggle to find a hotel room in the city.

"We have approximately 40,000 rooms in Stockholm – 80,000 beds – and 120,000 people coming here. So we will be out of hotel rooms, and we see a price spike of approximately 295%," Bergkvist said.

"As soon as these three concerts were announced, there was immediately a surge in demand," Asa Lilja, commercial director at hotel chain Ligula Hospitality Group, told AFP.

"This also led to a rise in prices," she said.

Sweden has only recently managed to bring down recent years' stubbornly high inflation. Economists have expressed fears that the Swift craze could send Swedish consumer prices rising again, as they did when pop diva Beyoncé opened her European tour in Stockholm last May.

"There's a risk that prices will rise for hotel and restaurant visits, the concert tickets and everything that goes along with" the show, Danske Bank economist Michael Grahn wrote in a note.

However, "the price pressure would have to be even stronger than [the Beyoncé effect in May] last year to be reflected in the inflation figures."

Swedish central bank governor Erik Thedeen even took the influx of foreign Swifties as a sign that the Swedish "krona was fundamentally undervalued."

"It's clearly a bargain to come to Stockholm," he said.
