Expand<\/a><\/p>\nHer son Eric Scritchfield and granddaughter Khlo\u00e9 Scritchfield, 9, stood beside her in a line that spanned the entire walkway and overflowed into the shopping area\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday was a big day,\u201d Stenlake said. \u201cMy son called to remind me about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
At nine, Khlo\u00e9 Scritchfield doesn\u2019t know who Bruce Springsteen is. Nor, did she know her grandmother\u2019s second favorite classic recording artist, Mama Cass.<\/p>\n
Instead her musical preferences include The Cheetah Girls, a Disney themed group the performed in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n
She realizes listening to music has evolved over time.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you just need to click,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, she enjoyed the excitement of the event and time with her father and grandmother.<\/p>\n
Like Stenlake, Michael Ganz also arrived before sunrise for a chance to purchase his favorite vinyl hits.<\/p>\n
Ganz wore a shirt reading \u201cTaylor Swift,\u201d but pointed out he came to be a Swiftie later in life and in an unexpected way.<\/p>\n
In 2023, he attended \u201cTaylor Swift: The Eras Tour\u201d at a movie theater with his wife to see what \u201call the hype was about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Several 15-year-old girls sat behind the couple during the movie and Ganz realized the music and lyrics were having a positive, empowering influence on them.<\/p>\n
He points to Swift\u2019s song \u201cThe Man,\u201d which\u00a0directly addresses gender double standards, encouraging women to challenge misogyny in their professional and personal lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so now I\u2019m a Swiftie,\u201d he said, adding he was hoping to purchase Swift\u2019s recent release featuring the song \u201cElizabeth Taylor,\u201d on purple splatter glitter seven-inch vinyl.<\/p>\n
Ganz, who had attended the Record Store Day event for almost as long as he could remember, said being a Swiftie provided added excitement to the day.<\/p>\n
Gallery of Sound manager Rob Chorba called the response \u201cdizzying\u201d and busier than previous years.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaylor Swift might have put us over the top, but there was also the Grateful Dead, Tom Petty, KISS and others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
People started lining up at about 5 a.m. for the event, completely filling the shopping area parking lot.<\/p>\n
The store opened its doors at 9 a.m. and the line remained until after noon.<\/p>\n
At about 12:30 p.m., the store posted to social media, \u201cNo more lines! Come on in and relaxRecord Store Day 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event, a near-holiday for many, started nearly two decades ago in the Bay Area of California\u00a0 and is now a worldwide celebration.<\/p>\n
