Longwood Gardens has long been a destination for residents and tourists…now you can add Taylor Swift fans to the list.

From the amazing floral displays, to the food, to the Christmas spectaculars, to the fountains.

Longwood Gardens is now featuring their Festival of Fountains and this year’s festival features artists we play on WJBR!

Taylor Swift Songs Will Play Throughout Longwood Gardens

“At Longwood Gardens, summer is one of the best times of year to take in the floral scenery of the gardens, and the cascading waters of the fountains. This year, the Festival of Fountains will include musical backdrops for shows – including songs from artists like Taylor Swift, David Bowie, Ed Sheeran, Bon Jovi, plus many classical selections” according to 6ABC.

13 Celebrities Who Were Spotted At Taylor Swift's Philadelphia Shows

Philadelphia was officially Swiftadelphia this weekend and what a weekend it was. Not only did over 250,000 people show up at Lincoln Financial Field to watch the show in and outside of the stadium, there was numerous celebrities who came to town to see their girl. In fact here are 13 celebrities who were spotted at Taylor Swift’s Philadelphia Shows this past weekend.

I was fortunate to go to the show on Friday night and I still can’t believe it was real. She went on at 7:57p, when it was still light outside, and ended at 11:20p. She played for over three hours with barely a break, we didn’t see her drinking a sip of water once! Changing costumes close to ten times, going from one Taylor Swift to another. I am fortunate that I have been to hundreds of concerts and I have never seen anything like this show. She even had screens on the back of the stadium and the sides so no matter where you were sitting in the stadium you could see her. She talked about how Philadelphia is her hometown and even though she got flack for it, I agree with Taylor. She’s friend Reading, there are no stadiums in Reading.

The majority of people who live in Reading are fans of Philadelphia sports teams because it’s the closet big city. She talked a lot how her dad used to watch Eagles games all the time and go to the Vet when she was a kid. I saw a tweet that said, typical Philly, one of the most famous people in the world claim us as a hometown and we have a problem with it. We can be from one than one hometown. I grew up in Summit Hill and I’ve lived in Philadelphia since I graduated from Drexel so I do consider myself as someone to have two hometowns.

Taylor is incredible and clearly so many celebrities wanted to see the show. Check out the impressive list below.

  • Jennifer Lawrence

  • Sabrina Carpenter

    Sabrina is from Quakertown so it makes sense she came to the Philly show.  I interviewed her a few years ago and she said she loves being from Philly so much.

  • Busy Phillips

    Busy Phillips talked about how she had been trying to get tickets because she and her girls wanted to see Taylor so much.  Good thing someone came through because she came to the Philly show!

    Busy documented the show on HER INSTAGRAM STORY.

  • Phoebe Bridgers

    Phoebe is opening for Taylor in alot of cities, and comes out to sing “Nothing New” with Taylor during the show.

  • Matt Healy

    Matt is the lead singer of The 1975 and supposedly Taylor’s new boyfriend. They have collaborated before, so now it looks like it’s a little more special.

  • Bo Burnham

    Bo is dating Phoebe Bridgers. She was engaged to Normal People star Paul Mescal until she and Bo were spotted together in recent months.

  • Gigi Hadid

    Gigi has been a long time friend of Taylor, in fact, she was just at her show in Nashville last weekend before Philly. Gigi always has a farm in Buck County and spends alot of them there.

  • Antoni Porowski

    Queer Eye’s Antoni has been a close friend of Taylor’s for a long time as well. His finance Kev Harrington is from Bucks County and they spend alot of time in Sea Isle City in the summer.

  • Keith Urban

    Keith was so excited he even posted this video on his TikTok

    @keithurban

  • Nicole Kidman

    It’s so cute how Keith and Nicole came. They are true fans.

  • Lena Dunham

    Taylor does 2 secret songs at every show and on Saturday night she said how it was her friend Lena’s request because she’s at the show and it’s her birthday. Taylor has been friends with Lena for a while and Lena dated Jack Antonoff is Taylor’s long time friend, collaborator, writer and producer and Taylor and Lena stayed friends after their breakup.

  • Bethany Frankel

    Bethany did a really sweet Instagram post about her experience. She stayed at Live Casino and it was her daughter’s first concert.

    This is my girl. Only for her would I drive two hours on a Friday to give her a special treat. LOVE was in the air in Philly, hometown to @taylorswift! There is nothing like a stadium full of mothers & daughters just in time for our big day…❤️💐This was Bryn’s 1st concert & the best night of her life!!!

  • Blake Lively

    Blake and Taylor have been friends for years as well. Taylor has used Blake and Ryan Reynolds daughter’s James, Betty and Inez as characters in her songs and gave them a shoutout during the show on Friday night. Before performing “Betty,” she said, “I named the characters after real people in my life who I love more than anything. And their names are James, Inez and Betty.”
