Liverpool ‘Taylor Town’ trail map released ahead of The Eras tour

A Taylor Swift urban route has been mapped out in anticipation of the arrival of one of the biggest pop stars on the planet.

Liverpool countdown to transformation as Town of Taylor ahead of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour arriving at Anfield Stadium from June 13-15.

Locations of 11 art installations which will make up the Taylor Town Trail have now been published.

They include a 7ft (2m) butterfly, a small moss-covered grand piano, two murals, a flower swing and a red room, and will go live on June 8.

The American pop phenomenon will play a hat-trick of sold-out shows at Liverpool FC Stadium – the first being his 100th date on The Eras Tour.

The trail, organized by Liverpool City Council’s Culture Liverpool team, creative social enterprise Make CIC and other artists, is inspired by Swift’s catalog of hits and will run until June 16.

Alongside the trail, a series of paid craft workshops – called Liverpool Loves Taylor (Craft Version) – will also take place at Metquartier in Liverpool.
