During the concert, Taylor expressed her gratitude and happiness towards her fans for creating traditions and movements of joy, such as the iconic friendship bracelets, even referencing the giant one outside the Superdome.
The concert was not just about the music; it was a star-studded event with celebrity sightings that included actor Josh Hutcherson, “Grey’s Anatomy” star Camilla Luddington, and New Orleans Saints player Khalen Saunders’ mom, who was proudly wearing her son’s jersey while cheering on her other son, Kam, who is one of Taylor’s dancers.

The energy during the concert was palpable, with Kam Saunders, Taylor Swift’s dancer and Khalen Saunders’ brother, adding a New Orleans flair to the performance of “We Are Never Getting Back Together.”
One of the standout moments of the night was the four-minute standing ovation Taylor received after her performance of “Champagne Problems,” showing just how much her music resonates with her fans. For her performance of “1989,” Taylor embraced the Mardi Gras spirit by wearing a purple, gold, and green outfit, paying tribute to the city’s vibrant culture.
