Queen Taylor Swift is en route to the second leg of her Eras Tour, with her next stop being Brazil, where Brazilians have found a novel way to honour her.
What
-
Rio de Janeiro rolled out the red carpet, or in this case, the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, to give Taylor Swift a Brazilian welcome during her Eras Tour yesterday (November 16).
-
The statue was seen 'wearing a t-shirt' with features symbols of Swift's music, including a scarf (a nod to her hit song "All Too Well") and a bow and arrow (most likely referring to "The Archer").
-
The tee also had a custom "Welcome to Brazil" written on it.
Take a look at the statue:
The announcement
- Mayor Eduardo Paes of Rio de Janeiro's city confirmed the news via Twitter, playfully writing in the caption, “Swifties” ... are you ready for it?, making a nod to Taylor's reputation era.
- This announcement followed an online movement in the city requesting the same, showing that the mayor couldn't resist the swifties' wishes.
- Taylor is scheduled to perform her Brazil Eras Tour shows on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights in Rio de Janeiro.

Swift's Kelce Romance
Rumours of Taylor Swift dating NFL star Travis Kelce have been circulating for some time. During this weekend's Buenos Aires show, not only did Kelce attend, but he also did it Swiftie style by wearing friendship bracelets and hanging out in a VIP tent with none other than Papa Swift himself.
At the conclusion of her concert, Swift referenced Kelce by altering the lyrics of her song "Karma," singing, "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me." This alteration in the lyrics sparked a frenzy on social media once again, with fans ecstatic over Taylor and Kelce's connection.
Be honest, how many times have you watched this video.
