INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WANE) Indianapolis is pulling out all the stops for Taylor Swift's upcoming Eras Tour stop. So much so that the Visit Indy tourism bureau is referring to the state capital as Swift City. The pop megastar will perform at Lucas Oil Stadium for three shows on Friday, November 1, Saturday, November 2, and Sunday, November 3. Visit Indy anticipates 200,000 people will show up over the three days, with not everyone having tickets for the shows. Because of that, all sorts of related events will be taking place in the city.

There's also been a 7,000 percent increase in searches for Airbnb rentals. Indianapolis International Airport has added round trip flights from key destinations to account for the influx of visitors.
