"Swifties" Hailed for Their Concert Enthusiasm

(La Porte, IN) - It wasn’t the most heavily attended of the tribute band concerts in La Porte, but Taylor Swift fans made it number one in terms of loudest.

 

That’s how La Porte Civic Auditorium Director Brett Binversie described the Friday night crowd for the Taylor Swift tribute band show.

 

“Largest, no.  Loudest, absolutely,” he said.

 

Binversie said there were close to 800 people in the audience.  He said many Swift fans of all ages were constantly on the dance floor in front of the stage and some people seated in the balcony were also showing their moves.

 

“The Swifties, as they like to call themselves, were in full effect and it showed,” he said.

 

Many people in the crowd, eager to hear the songs of their favorite singer, were calling for the tribute band to come out before walked out onto the stage.

 

“Just a very invigorating, enthusiastic crowd,” he said.

 

Much of the show was based on Swift’s current Eras Tour.  Binversie said it was about the third most heavily attended tribute band concert hosted at the Civic Auditorium since those acts started getting booked on a regular basis in recent years.
