Swift appeared to have a steep hill to climb considering that the first-place Cincinnati Reds had moved Friday night’s game up to avoid a direct clash with the pop icon the Reds played an afternoon game on Saturday to avoid a second conflict, but Swifties (and traffic cops) also battled hordes of fans attending first-place FC Cincinnati’s soccer match just a few blocks away.įriday night’s first gig managed to avoid the predicted thunderstorms, but nearly four months into the epic Eras tour, some things remain a bit unpredictable. The Queen City was transformed into the pop queen’s city - SwiftCinnati if you will - during the second night of Swift’s home stand at Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium, home of the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals.īut for one evening, all thoughts of helmets and pads was shunted in favor of glittery minidresses and custom shirts, a sea of colorful homemade bracelets and a trail of orphaned sequins littering the ground all over downtown.

Even on one of the busiest weekends of the summer, and with competition from two hometown playoff-contender sports clubs, Saturday night (July 1) belonged to Taylor Swift.

All guests on oh hello
