In addition to art exhibitions, the people of Liverpool have planned a series of music-themed craft workshops. These workshops will not only add to the festive atmosphere but also contribute to boosting the local economy. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in Swift-themed activities, creating crafts inspired by her songs and albums. From making Swift-Tees using recycled denim to crafting collages and cupcakes, the workshops will offer a range of creative outlets for fans and visitors alike.
Taylor Town will be open to the public from June 8 to June 16, coinciding with Swift’s performance at the Anfield Stadium on June 13 as part of her Eras Tour. The event is a collaborative effort between the City Council of Liverpool and the social enterprise Make CIC. Across various locations in the city such as Liverpool ONE, Royal Albert Dock, and Metquarter, visitors will encounter displays representing Swift’s 11 eras.
One of the highlights of Taylor Town will be a giant moss-covered piano symbolising Swift’s Evermore era, alongside installations paying homage to her Lover era with giant hearts.
These visual representations will add an interactive and immersive dimension to the experience, allowing fans to connect more deeply with Swift’s music and artistic journey. Overall, Taylor Town promises to be a vibrant and creative celebration, blending music, art, and community spirit in honour of Taylor Swift’s upcoming concert in Liverpool.
