2024 was the year of concerts for me. I photographed a whole bunch of really big names in music. Also, I attended concerts as a fan. I went to many concerts. The artists included The Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Billie Eilish, Metallica, and of course Taylor Swift. As a concert photographer, I got to shoot Green Day, Jason Isbell, Bruce Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and more. Taylor Swift Indianapolis was the highlight.
The Taylor Swift concert I attended was in Indianapolis on November 2, 2024. It was the Saturday night show, the second of three Eras Tour show in Indy. It was the second to last show ever of the era’s tour in the United States, and it was amazing. This was the third Eras Tour show that I’ve seen of with the first being an epic rain show in Nashville in May, 2023 and the second June, 2023 in Cincinnati.
The show felt fantastic, fun, and exhilarating—completely different from the first two. She added the new Tortured Poets Department set released this year and cut several songs to make room for it. The updated set list was incredible. The new set pieces and choreography made the live performance even better than I had imagined.
Lucas Oil Stadium is a great place to see a concert. First, it is indoor. You never need to worry about the rain or the weather like the past two Eras Tour shows we saw. The Nashville show was postponed by five hours due to severe thunderstorms. The Cincinnati show had to be moved up an hour because of the impending thunderstorms. The storms happened to start within half an hour after the end of the concert. So this time there was no reason to worry about a weather delay. It was 66 and sunny, and of course, the show was inside.
The show was just absolutely perfect, a perfect day for Taylor Swift period. We spent a lot of time in downtown Indie, going to the convention center, visiting the three hour merchandise line, and deciding that was too long to wait just to get a T-shirt. The most fun was seeing all the people out and about at bars and restaurants. The city ambassadors made way finding easy. One of my favorite things in Indy was the 30+ story JW Marriott that had a giant Taylor Swift plastered to the east side of the hotel looking at downtown. It was just a great way to end our Taylor Swift Eras Tour trifecta.
