The Eras Tour broke records everywhere and became a unifying force for Taylor Swift’s most devoted fans. Swifties didn’t let a Ticketmaster catastrophe hold them back, and the high cost of travel didn’t stop many fans from their mission of bonding through Swift’s inspiring music. They made friendship bracelets, gave them away, and fostered a supportive community at each show of the concert.

The tour started in early 2023 and continued for nearly two years. It's no wonder that many fans felt bereft when The Eras Tour finally ended in December 2024. If you’re missing it, you are not alone. Try visiting these Taylor-inspired spots where you can have fun and celebrate the fascinating eras of Taylor Swift.

Keep in mind that it’s not too late to keep old traditions from the tour alive! You can still make friendship bracelets and hand them out to friends and others you encounter throughout your day. If you’re going to some Taylor Swift spots, you might run into fans who would be so grateful for a friendship bracelet and might just have one to give to you, too.

GRAMMY Museum Mississippi - Cleveland, Mississippi

The Taylor Swift: Through the Eras exhibit at GRAMMY Museum Mississippi is a celebration of Swift’s illustrious career. This exhibit will be on display through August 31, 2025. It includes many artifacts from Taylor’s music videos, tours, and public appearances.

The fun exhibit showcases dresses such as the Oscar de la Renta dress that Taylor wore to the GRAMMY Awards ceremony in 2021 and the Maticevski gown and gloves Taylor wore in the “Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)” music video. The BCBG Max Azria dress she wore on tour in 2007 is also on display.

When it comes to fashion, Taylor has also worn some iconic coats, and you can see the one she wore on the cover of her 2020 album Evermore here and the coat she wore in her “Lavender Haze” music video.

Guitarists are sure to marvel at Taylor’s guitars that are part of the exhibit. They include the red sparkle top Gibson Les Paul that Taylor during her Speak Now World Tour and the Taylor GS-6 “Sparkle Guitar” that Taylor played throughout her Fearless Tour. There’s lots more on display here, too, and the celebration of Taylor’s eras is sure to spark joy for anyone who loved The Eras Tour.

Oheka Castle – Huntington, New York

You can take a step back to Taylor Swift’s 1989 era with a weekend getaway to Oheka Castle. Located in Huntington, New York, you’ll recognize it from the moment you walk in the door and see the dramatic double staircase where Taylor stood and sang, “Look at that face!” in her music video for “Blank Space” from her 1989 album.

The castle, which now serves as an upscale hotel, was where she filmed multiple scenes from that music video. A lot of exteriors will look familiar such as the opening scenes in the car and the part where Taylor Swift drops her lover’s phone in the pool.

If you can’t stay overnight at the castle, you can still visit and take a tour. Just be sure to schedule it in advance. You can also stop by for lunch at the onsite bar and restaurant, and there’s a gift shop if you want a souvenir from your Swiftie adventure.

Housing Works Bookstore – New York, New York

Taylor Swift loves New York. She has waxed poetic about it in songs ranging from the rocking “Welcome To New York” from 1989 to the hauntingly beautiful “Daylight” from Lover. She also chose a special bookstore from New York to be featured in her short film to her beloved song “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)”.

Swift plays the older version of the heroine of the short film, and she appears as an author doing a book signing at an elegant bookstore. The store featured is Housing Works Bookstore in Manhattan. I was so enamored with the bookstore that I had a book signing of my own there in 2023.

Housing Works Bookstore is special for several reasons. For one thing, any proceeds the store makes goes to the lifesaving services provided by the Housing Works organization. It’s a gorgeous spot to browse for books, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. They have a wide variety of special events and book signings. You can also rent out the shop for special occasions.

As I mentioned before, Swift loves New York and has lived there for a long time. Some other spots you might want to see while you’re in the city include the Hotel Chelsea which Swift references in “The Tortured Poets Department”, the title single from her latest album and the High Line that’s mentioned in “Cardigan” from Folklore.

You may also want to stroll along Cornelia Street since it inspired the much-loved song of the same name. Then there’s also the popular GetYourGuide’s Taylor Swift’s New York: A Walking Guide.

Taylor Swift Education Center – Nashville, Tennessee

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is a top spot for visitors to Nashville, Tennessee. It is home to the Taylor Swift Education Center, a 7,500-square-foot center that was opened to great fanfare in 2013. It was important to Taylor to establish the center since musical education helped her development as an artist at a very young age.

The Taylor Swift Education usually has some things from Taylor Swift’s career on display in the main entrance area. Through the spring of 2025, an artwork that commemorates the 2023 U.S. leg of The Eras Tour is on display and includes friendship bracelets that Taylor received from fans. If you were able to give her one, you might just see yours there.

Some other things on display include the banjo Taylor Swift played when she performed “Mean” at the GRAMMY Awards in 2012. Other Taylor Swift memorabilia is on display at The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, too, so plan to spend at least an afternoon there.

Nashville is a very special city to Taylor Swift. It is where she first moved with her family as a young teenager to pursue her dreams. Therefore, there are several other places in the city that would be of interest to Swifties.

While there, you may want to see a performance at The Blue Bird Café where Taylor performed before and after she was famous. You can also see the bench dedicated to her lyrics from the song “Invisible Strings” at Centennial Park.
