Swifties add sparkle to the spectacle.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
PITTSBURGH — Wherever Taylor Swift takes “The Eras Tour,” a whirlwind of sequins and glitter follows. The music superstar brings her hot-ticket tour to Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium for sellout shows tonight and Saturday.
Her two-night, sold-out performances earlier this month in Pittsburgh had her fans dressed to capture the excitement.
As tens of thousands of fans lined up outside the stadium both days, on June 16-17, it was like being caught in a flurry of fringe, immersed in a deep sea of sequins, lost in a pile of tulle. The Swifties were vibrant, donning ensembles so colorful it was like looking through the lens of a kaleidoscope.
For many, attending one of the concerts was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a crescendo to their years-long fandom. To commemorate the moment, they brought their best fashion — taking cues from Swift.
Here are some of the standout looks and individuals encountered during the “Eras Tour” weekend in Pittsburgh. Hey, Cincinnati, now it’s your turn.
Celeste and Doug Lisko, of Columbus, Ohio
Celeste, 27, and Doug, 28, attended the June 17 show. The married couple wore a look inspired by Swift’s song “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince” from her album “Lover.” They completed each other’s costumes by sashes the read “Miss Americana” and “Heartbreak Prince.”
Celeste Lisko’s outfit — a velvet navy-colored, star-adorned dress — was a recreation of the Moschino slip dress Swift wore to the Video Music Awards afterparty in August. Celeste Lisko purchased the dress online, but she personalized it by adding the stars.
The Liskos got extra crafty to complete Doug’s look. They thrifted the white button-up shirt he wore from Goodwill. But they went the extra mile to elevate it, sewing on tasseled shoulder pieces, gold buttons and a rhinestone broken-heart.
“This morning was our sixth trip to Joann Fabrics to put the final touches on it,” said Doug Lisko.
