WISHTV’s recommended Taylor Swift Eras Tour events
Oct 24, 2024
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Eras Tour is coming to Indianapolis Nov. 1-3 at Lucas Oil Stadium, and the Taylor Swift madness is slowly taking over the city.

Every event, drink, and store in the Indianapolis area seems to be themed to Swift or the Eras Tour as the concerts grow nearer. If you have an event that you think should be featured on this story, email [email protected] for the event to be considered.
