Swiftmania

Swiftmania is a very different kind of high from what I experienced listening to music as a teenager — a high that is worth the pain. It's not just the plethora of songs to discover but the nonstop Swiftie culture itself — the constant access to the music, the news, the scrolling for swag, the shout-outs on the street, the sharing of songs and lines of poetic code via text or passed bracelet — a party that is raging all day and all night.

Depending on when you choose to arrive at SoFi, your immersion into Swiftmania can last anywhere between three hours (her set length) to six-plus (there are two opening acts each show, Gracie Abrams and Haim among them).
