As the Eras Tour approaches, Indianapolis eateries add to the excitement by rolling out an array of Taylor Swift-inspired creations.
Why it matters: With out-of-towners accounting for most of the fans set to fill Lucas Oil Stadium for three sold-out shows in a few weeks, local Swifties are looking for other ways to celebrate her return to the Circle City.
- Food and drink offers like these allow superfans to experience Swiftmania without spending around $1,400 on resale tickets.
