What we saw during Taylor Swift’s Nashville concert
Call it what you want but the Taylor Swift takeover has begun in Nashville.
Thousands of the pop star’s fans, an army of Swifties, will be unavoidable in downtown Nashville starting Friday afternoon as Swift kicks off a sold-out, three-night run at Nissan Stadium.
See how Swift and her fans (in their DIY outfits) give downtown Nashville a lavender haze with our photos from night one of her ‘Eras’ tour concert in Music City.

The supergroup recently released their debut album, The Record, which Swift said was “genuinely a masterpiece” in one of her Instagram stories.

The lavender haze is real. The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge was lit in purple for Friday’s concert. Scrutinizing Swifties have tied the color purple with the impeding announcement of the release of her Speak Now (Taylor’s Version,) a re-recording of her 2010 album. Could it happen in Nashville? Fans seem to think so.
