Taylor Swift for N2 in Indianapolis as the Eras Tour ignites Indy

We are Baaaaaaaack!

With the first night of Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour stop at Lucas Oil Stadium in the rearview mirror, we're ready for night two to begin. Tens of thousands have descended on Indianapolis for the final three US shows of the tour, and the city is brimming with Swiftie spirit.

IndyStar journalists are back on the road for the second day of the Eras Tour weekend, meeting fans, exchanging friendship bracelets and showing you all the sights and sounds of downtown Indianapolis.

Swifties start young

Jordan Mowrer and Sarah Toombs share a friendship that began at Marian University and a love of the Swift song “Clean.”

“The song 'Clean' helped me through a breakup,” Mowrer said. “We probably both used that to get through a breakup.”

“That’s kind of funny,” Toombs added with a laugh.

They pass on their love of Swift's work to their children, four-year-old Andy Mowrer and three-year-old Lainey Toombs. The four made friendship bracelets at the Children's Museum Saturday morning, and Mowrer and Toombs, both 32 and from Indianapolis, were hoping they could snag last-minute tickets to the Eras Tour.

Lainey has her own Swift book and Andy knows all the lyrics to his favorite song by the singer: “Welcome to New York.”

“He’ll sing it,” Mowrer said as Andy recited the title lyrics.

Fans were looking forward to “breathing the same air” as the star

Cousins Rhylynn Little and Violet Shamblin, both 11, didn't have tickets to the Eras Tour concerts but still enjoyed being part of the festivities.

On Saturday morning, the two made friendship bracelets at the Children's Museum and attended one of the planned dance parties before heading downtown to the Indiana Convention Center. They wore matching heart-shaped sunglasses and T-shirts, a nod to Swift's “Reputation” and “Fearless” albums.

Even without tickets, the trip from Columbus, Ohio was worth it, they said.

“I breathe the same air as (Swift),” Rhylynn said.

“I think the reason we did it was just so that even though we can't actually go to the concert, they could at least experience firsthand what it's like to be a part of the Eras tour stuff,” said mom Amanda Little, 40.
