Night 2 of Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour rocks a packed Superdome; another lucky fan receives the ’22′ hat
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour continued its takeover of the Big Easy as night two brought upwards of 65,000 fans to the Caesars Superdome.
Swifties from all over packed the stadium, dressed in glitter, sparkles, and outfits representing their favorite Taylor eras.
Swift took the stage to an eruption of cheers and kept the energy high throughout the night. Saturday’s performance saw the Superdome filled to capacity, with fans belting out every lyric along with Swift.
She gifted her iconic “22″ hat to another lucky fan, a cherished moment she shares during every stop of her tour. The recipient, a young fan in tears, received the hat as the crowd cheered on. It’s a memory that is sure to last a lifetime.
During her song “22″,” Swift chooses a lucky fan to give the hat to, which she dates and autographs with a metallic marker. Sometimes, the picks are random; in other cases, they are picked by Swift’s team because they went viral, showed their fandom, or had inspiring stories.
During Friday night’s show, the superstar expressed her love for the city during the concert, telling the crowd, “We’ve got to end (The Eras Tour) in the most fun cities with the most passionate fans.”
The crowd proved her right, traveling from the Gulf South and beyond, singing along to every lyric, screaming with joy, and showing off their custom-made outfits inspired by the different eras of Swift’s career.

The local economy is seeing a boost, with hotels in multiple parishes filled to capacity and restaurants, bars, and boutiques benefitting from the influx of visitors.
“Taylor Swift really is that girl,” one user posted on X.
As the sun sets over the Mississippi River Saturday night, the Superdome will once again come alive with the sounds of Swift’s setlist. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. with special guest Gracie Abrams taking the stage before Swift dazzles with her nearly three-hour-long performance, spanning her entire career from “Fearless” to “The Tortured Poets Department.”
Expect traffic to be heavy and lines to be long as Swifties arrive.

For many, Saturday marks the culmination of months of planning, saving, and dreaming for a chance to see Swift live.
With one night down and two to go, the Eras Tour is shaping up to be a weekend the city – and the Swifties – won’t soon forget.
As Swift said herself, there’s no better place to wrap up the U.S. leg of her tour than in a city known for its passion, music, and unending love for a good time.
