Liverpool is set to be buzzing with thousands of Swifties when Taylor Swift brings her Eras Tour to Anfield this summer, and we don’t want our students to miss out!
This week we’re inviting students to take a swift break, get outdoors, and enjoy some live music on campus.
All our activity will be focused on the grass square on Guild Walk opposite 502, which will be renaming ‘Taylor Square’.
Look out for the following:
- Busking stage featuring student performers with live music every day from 12-2pm.
- The Crepe van on Guild Walk, plus new food vendors nearby so you can get something to eat and drink.
- Free laptop stickers, plus friendship bracelets to give away to the first 50 students who attend on Monday
- Photo opportunity area on the grass by the stage, with a Taylor Swift cut-out and a branded backdrops to take pictures and share with us on social media!
Take a swift break and shake it off at Taylor Square, located on Guild Walk. There will plenty of deck-chair seating around the stage, so take a break in your day to enjoy some food and live music!
Taylor Swift album drops have become cultural moments – and Dr Sam Murray from our Music Department takes a look The Tortured Poets Department and the art of melodrama in an article originally published in The Conversation.
The Music Department is also home to the University of Liverpool’s Institute of Popular Music (IPM), which was founded in 1988 as the world’s first specialist centre for the interdisciplinary study of popular music.
