With just weeks left to go until Taylor Swift brings her Eras Tour to the UK for the first time, one city is planning a big welcome for fans. In June, Taylor Swift will play three sold-out shows at Anfield stadium, and plans have been confirmed to give Swifties a proper scouse welcome.

To celebrate the city is creating a special experience for the tens of thousands of fans who will be travelling from across the world. The Taylor Town Trail will be the centrepiece with 11 art installations, each inspired by a different Taylor Swift Era.

From Saturday, June 8 until Sunday, June 16, locations across Liverpool including Liverpool ONE, Royal Albert Dock Liverpool and the Metquarter will play host to new works which reflect the style and stories of each album to create Swiftie Selfie locations.

Liverpool City Council’s Culture Liverpool team has partnered up with creative social enterprise Make CIC and a whole host of artists and makers from across the Liverpool City Region to curate the installations which will include:

  • A moss-covered grand piano to represent the evermore era
  • A 'red room' to represent the Red era
  • Giant hearts representing the Lover era
  • A mural inspired by the number 13 and the Fearless era

What else will be going on?

Liverpool Loves Taylor (Craft Version)

Alongside this, a series of ticketed craft workshops - called Liverpool Loves Taylor (Craft Version) - will also take place at the Metquarter shopping centre, where fans can get creative with origami which will eventually form part of one of the installations, transform t-shirts in a session called Swif-tee Transformation, upcycle denim, make collages and decorate cupcakes - all inspired by Taylor Swift.

Full details, workshop dates and ticket details can be found on Make CIC’s Eventbrite page. Please note, booking is essential.

Tay Day

Many businesses and organisations will be getting involved too, including the University of Liverpool which is hosting a free 'Tay Day' – a unique symposium for academics, students and fans to unpack the cultural phenomenon that is Taylor Swift. The event will include critical karaoke sessions, where researchers perform their findings to some of Taylor’s biggest hits and a series of interactive talks on subjects including her song lyrics, her award-winning albums and her place in feminism and the LGBTQ+ community. Head to the University of Liverpool website for more details.

Liverpool Loves Taylor stand

There will be a Liverpool Loves Taylor information stand in operation at Liverpool Lime Street Station from 13 – 15 June, 9am to 6pm. The team will be on hand to assist with any queries about what’s happening across the city and how to get to the concerts. An impressive Liverpool Loves Taylor banner has also been installed on the façade of St George’s Hall as an additional welcome to fans.

Updates for fans visiting Liverpool for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour

Taylor Swift will perform her Eras Tour at Anfield from Thursday, June 13 to Saturday, June 15. Fans without tickets are advised not to head to the stadium or the surrounding areas and there is strictly no camping permitted at the stadium or in the immediate vicinity, including local parks.

Messaging for fans with tickets travelling to and from Anfield is available on the Liverpool Football Club website, along with a host of helpful FAQs and advice for concert-goers. Updates will be shared on @LFChelp (X) in the lead-up to the concerts and on each concert day.

Can you still get Taylor Swift tickets?

If you are yet to secure yourself a ticket, you can keep tabs on Ticketmaster and AXS for official tickets, as fans who no longer can attend may decide to resell their tickets.

On the other hand, you could try your luck on resale ticket platforms like Viagogo and VividSeats. These sites enable you to browse without rushing, as tickets listed by fellow enthusiasts stay accessible until they are purchased. Below is a list of links you'll need:

  • TICKETMASTER - Grab your Taylor Swift resale tickets here.
  • VIAGOGO - Secure your Taylor Swift resale tickets here.
  • VIVIDSEATS - Buy your Taylor Swift resale tickets here.

Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.

Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double-check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale - such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation - to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
