Liverpool is set to become Taylor Town to welcome Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour in June

Plans have been revealed to transform Liverpool into Taylor Town from 8-16 June in the run up to The Eras Tour visiting the city. There will be conferences, craft workshops, and art installations to celebrate Swift's musical legacy, as well as the impact she'll have on the economy.

As reported by The Guardian, "a series of ticketed craft workshops – called Liverpool Loves Taylor (Craft Version) – will also take place at the Metquarter, where visitors will be able to get creative with origami that will form part of an installation, transform T-shirts in a session called Swif-tee Transformation, upcycle denim, make collages and decorate cupcakes – all inspired by the singer."

Liverpool ONE, Royal Albert Dock Liverpool and the Metquarter will each feature an artwork representing one of Swift's albums as part of the Taylor Town Trail.

A series of ticketed workshops - called Liverpool Loves Taylor (Craft Version) - will be held at the Metquarter, where creative origami will eventually form part of one of the installations, transform t-shirts in a session called Swif-tee Transformation, upcycle denim, make collages and decorate cupcakes - all inspired by Taylor Swift.

The Eras tour's UK leg begins in Edinburgh on 7 June before going to Liverpool, Cardiff and London, is expected to provide a £997m boost to the UK economy, as reported by Barclays Swiftonomics report.
