Taylgate Takeover is a one-stop shop festival dedicated to keeping the spirit of the Eras Tour alive, bringing Swifties together in cities that played a pivotal role in Taylor’s recent tour. The celebration begins in Glendale, where it all started in 2023, before continuing to other stops across the U.S. and Canada.
Fans can expect a vibrant, high-energy experience featuring a live performance from The Lover Tribute Band, immersive photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise, Swiftie-inspired vendors, themed activities and events hosted by participating restaurants throughout Westgate.
“Taylgate Takeover is about more than just music—it’s about connection,” said Karla Chappel, president and founder of Taylgate Takeovers. “Taylor Swift has given us a space to embrace joy, acceptance, and shared experiences. We want to honor that by bringing Swifties together, celebrating the memories we made on tour, and making a lasting impact in the communities we visit. From local vendors to hotel stays, we’re helping to generate economic activity while creating an unforgettable fan gathering.”
Westgate Entertainment District, located just steps from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ which was famously renamed “Swift City” in 2023, is embracing the fearless energy once again.
“Back in 2023, Glendale made history as the first stop on the Eras Tour. Now, we get to welcome that magic back with Taylgate Takeover,” said Jessica Kubicki, director of marketing for YAM Properties. “Westgate will be transformed into a Swiftie wonderland, and we can’t wait to see our community and visitors unite once again to celebrate the music, the memories and the movement Taylor has created.”
