Anthony Ye of Astoria, New York, told Fox News Digital that his love for the pop star has been a near-decade-long affair. "I go to as many shows as I can make it out to," he said.

"I’m definitely spending a bit more than I should," he said. "It’s been five years since she’s toured, so it’s OK … My bills are paid."
