WISH-TV’s recommended Taylor Swift Eras Tour events
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Eras Tour is coming to Indianapolis Nov. 1-3 at Lucas Oil Stadium, and the Taylor Swift madness is slowly taking over the city.
Downtown already has 32 Swift-themed street signs. The mayor shared a map of the Easter eggs on Monday.
Every event, drink, and store in the Indianapolis area seems to be themed to Swift or the Eras Tour as the concerts grow nearer. If you have an event that you think should be featured on this story, email danielle.zulkosky@wishtv.com for the event to be considered.
