Liverpool Uni to host 'Tay Day' ahead of Taylor Swift tour dates

Liverpool will mark the star's arrival in a series of events

Liverpool is set to host one of the biggest pop stars in the world - Taylor Swift and with a range of events planned her visit is sure to go down in the city's Folklore.

The Shake It Off singer brings her Eras tour to Anfield Stadium for three days starting on 13 June.

The day before, the University of Liverpool will host 'Tay Day' - a chance for her fans, students and lecturers to talk about the "cultural phenomenon that is Taylor Swift".

The debate is part of a number of events taking place in the city ahead of the performances - if you are a Swiftie it's going to be like something from your Wildest Dreams.

Tay Day will not be the first time that Tay Tay is discussed at a university - in fact in 2022 the University of Texas started to offer a course on the singer.

Academics from all across Europe will be speaking on all things Taylor Swift at the conference on 12 June.

Then researchers will perform essays to a Swift track of their choice.

Dr Sam Murray and Dr Amy Skjerseth who are two of the organisers of the event, said they are delighted to be bringing people together to "debate and deconstruct the work of one of the world's biggest musical sensations".

The rest of the city will be far from a Blank Space ahead of Taylor's arrival.

A series of 11 art installations will be put in place throughout the centre to make a 'Taylor Town Town Trail'.

Each of the pieces will be inspired by a different Era.

The artworks include a moss-covered grand piano to represent the Evermore era and giant hearts for the Lover era.
