The Grid in Topsia hosted a Taylor Swift Night on December 29 that saw Swifties drop by and sway to some of their favourite Taylor Swift songs, starting from the evergreen Love Story to Lover. Taylor had a rocking 2023, with her Eras tour becoming one of the highest-grossing tours recorded in history, and it was accompanied by a box-office-topping documentary, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (which also became the top concert film in history). Her songs topped the billboard, she was named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year and she became Spotify’s most streamed artiste globally. However, her fan following goes longer back in time and we got a glimpse of the same at The Grid. Snapshots.
“Taylor Swift has been super inspirational to all of us. The Grid as a place is special to us because we’ve hung out a lot here and made beautiful memories.
