Swifties

[Voice of Reason]

Swiftie mania has overtaken Cincinnati and I am all in. Major props to the city of Cincinnati on the support they are giving. Blocked off The Banks and turned the riverfront into a massive block party. I believe there were more people outside the stadium than inside. Swiftie nation listening in, dancing in the streets and having good, clean fun. Round 2 tonight. Forget about needing a ticket. You don't need one to enjoy. It may be even more fun dancing on Elm St and in Smale Park.

Pretty amazing for sure, I would say it is a greater takeover than most home Bengals games.

Not the crowd I would want to be caught in but it sounds like they are being sensible and having a good time.   I have heard nothing negative from anyone.

Article I read, stated the city would have 250,000 visitors this weekend for the concert/festivities.  Also supposed to bring $92,000,000 to the economy.  WILD. 

 

Also, this weekend Cincinnati had THE MOST Air BnB's booked of any city in the world.

Was at the awesome Reds game last Friday and then hung out around The Banks with a friend who had family at the concert.  Outstanding time and the Swifties won me over that night.  I’ll likely never play her music but Taylor gained a fan in me.

We hung outside The Yardhouse mostly chilling in the lawn out back of the restaurant.  We got our drinks from The Fishbowl and they let us leave with them.

The Yardhouse is nice and roomy.  I like the Fishbowl but I liked it better before they doubled the size of it.  My favorite down there is Jefferson Social because it is pretty low key.

I worked the Friday Night concert. Worked the Reds and FC on Saturday.

Great Crowd Friday Night. Loved seeing all the young girls singing their hearts out with their idol. Loudest fanbase I've ever heard at a concert I've worked. And Taylor Swift crushed it!

Water sales were through the roof haha!

Taylor Swift is having a moment, that is for sure. This is 1980s Michael Jackson type stuff.
