Whether in Paycor Stadium or screaming from The Banks, Swifties showed up in full force for the first night of Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” in Cincinnati. The Banks was transformed into “Swiftinnati” for a concert Tay-Gate, complete with friendship bracelet stations and custom Swift-inspired cocktails. Fans dressed in an endless array of Taylor-made costumes; even the protesters were unwittingly on-theme (see the “You Need to Calm Down” music video). Check out the fashion and passion CityBeat saw during Taylor mania 2023.
