Taylor Swift Night One At The Linc
Taylor Swift Night One At The Linc
Friday May 12, 2023 was the perfect night in South Philadelphia at the home of the Eagles, Lincoln Financial Field! Undeniably, this first of 3 consecutive sold out shows at the Philly sports complex would make this a significantly historic Mothers Day Weekend!
“Whether you are aware of it or not, you have walked into my hometown show”!
Taylor made it very clear that because she grew up in Wyomissing PA, that like her Dad, she is a Philadelphia Eagles fan! Later in the show referencing the lyrics from “Gold Rush” she said “And I love the band the Eagles, but guys like come on, like I’m from Philly, of course it’s the team!”
“I see me padding across your wooden floorsWith my Eagles T-shirt hanging from the door”
Additionally, she went on to say that she spent her whole childhood watching Eagles games on Sunday’s with her Dad, Scott Swift (a University of Delaware grad!) She added that she never thought she would be playing sold-out shows in the Birds stadium.
The long Taylor Swift Weekend actually started on Thursday when thousands of Swifties lined up in one of the Linc’s parking lots to obtain wearable merch for the shows.
Swifies started arriving at the Linc early Friday and enjoyed the sunny 85 degree weather! Perfect for concert “pre-gaming”! Meanwhile, wall to wall Taylor music was heard across every parking lot!
