Culture | Music A seven-foot butterfly installation, a regal throne and themed murals are among the special artworks being installed in Liverpool in celebration of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour arriving in the city. The team that helped deliver the outdoor theatrics at Eurovision 2023 has created the experience designed to entertain the more than 150,000 Swifties who will descend on the city when the pop superstar’s marathon tour comes to Anfield Stadium from June 13-15. Dubbed the Taylor Town Trail, it will feature 11 art installations which are inspired by the studio albums from her back catalogue.
In celebration of her self-titled debut album, which featured butterflies on the cover art, a seven-foot butterfly which fans can take photos by is being installed. Her second album Fearless is being honoured with a colourful mural created by artist Molly Mural, while her purple-themed third record Speak Now will be marked with a lilac backdrop where fans can get their picture taken as if they are “living the popstar life”. Swifties will be able to immerse themselves in a red room featuring giant red lips to celebrate her Red album before putting their heads in the clouds at the 1989-inspired installation which features hand-crafted seagulls.
They will also be able to channel her fierce Reputation era by taking a seat in a regal throne surrounded by snakes and skulls while the section dedicated to her Lover album will promote inclusivity with candy canes, rainbows and flamingo.
