Taylor Swift Approaches a Major Milestone
Appearing at Anfield Stadium
This week, the pop icon will be performing for three nights in a row at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium in England. The third of these performances will be Taylor Swift 100th show on the Eras Tour on June 13. Fans and citizens of Liverpool are eagerly waiting for this occasion.
According to the BBC, in preparation for Swift’s visit, “the Liverpool City Council has put together a trail of art installations across the city” inspired by each album that she has made. Included amongst these installations are items such as a butterfly, moss piano, floral swing bench and “Red” room. According to Claire McColgan, director of Liverpool City Council’s Culture Liverpool team, these installations represent Swift’s “extraordinary and life-changing” influence on both the music business as well as her own city.
An Open Invitation
“Even if you haven’t got a ticket for Taylor come to Liverpool and enjoy a bit of Taylor magic,” she informed reporters who were invited to participate in the festivities by visiting artistic displays. So far, fans are excited about whether or not there will be something special planned by ‘So High School’ performer during her 100th show especially because it coincides with her lucky number thirteen (13). For example, some fans think that through color combinations worn during her 1989 set at Edinburgh on June 9 (her third concert), Swift could have insinuated a new music video for “But Daddy I Love Him”. At several points throughout the Eras tour which began in March of 2023, Swift has had moments where she makes special announcements or reveals surprises. Many of them are often hinted through Easter eggs for which she is famous.

She spiced up her performance with several blue outfits on this night to tease fans about this announcement in a very cool way. Expectations and excitement are mounting as we approach the 100th Eras Tour show. Both Liverpool-based and other local fans are looking forward to her surprises and commending her on reaching such an extraordinary milestone.
