Thousands of visitors descended on the city for the weekend with a shared cause for celebration: Taylor Swift’s three-night stop in Chicago as part of her much-anticipated Eras Tour.
Hours before Swift was set to take the stage at Soldier Field on Friday, fans — or “Swifties” — milled about the Museum Campus in sparkly skirts and cowboy boots, carrying bags of merchandise. Many waited in hourslong lines under the bright sun to score the coveted tour merchandise, including T-shirts, posters and crew necks. One fan maneuvered a weightier haul in the front basket of an electric Divvy bike.
While the speculation may require a lot of mental effort, it might not come close to the blood, sweat and tears fans have shed to secure tickets to the U.S. leg of the Eras Tour.
Swifties arrive at Soldier Field in Chicago for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour on the first night of her three-show stay June 2, 2023.reads. “The stadium and surrounding areas will be at maximum capacity.” “Artists like this and events like this don’t happen often. This is historic,” said Natalie Maggiore, 31, of Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. She called Swift a “generational talent.”
For weeks, Ricci McDonald, 40, a Chicagoan, has been organizing the potluck for fans to meet outside the stadium and share a meal. Despite stadium officials asking ticketless fans to stay away, she said people will likely go anyway. She just hopes everyone stays hydrated and fed, as well as respectful if they’re asked to leave.
