Vancouver Lit Up for Taylor Swift‘s Arrival: A Citywide Scavenger Hunt Awaits Fans
Vancouver is decked out in anticipation for Taylor Swift’s arrival, with a unique scavenger hunt encouraging fans to explore the city’s dazzling landmarks before catching her Eras Tour shows.
The city is buzzing with excitement in preparation for Swift’s final three shows, finishing up her tour on December 6th, 7th, and 8th. While fans gear up for the concerts at BC Place, they can embark on a "Swift-themed" adventure across Vancouver.
A series of luminous, illuminated signs featuring song titles from Swift’s discography have popped up strategically throughout the city. "Swiftcouver" itself is one such installation along the waterfront, already spotted by Swifties eager to see their idol perform.
Keen observers have also spotted other notable installations. Letters spelling out "Betty" (from Swift’s Folklore album), "Willow" (from its companion album, Evermore), "Down Bad" (The Tortured Poets Department), "Anti-Hero" (Midnights), and more have been discovered by lucky flair.
These glowing tributes aren’t random, though.
They have been carefully placed at some Vancouver’s most impressive locations, according to Destination Downtown, ; think English Bay, Gastown, Science World, and Granville Island.
Destination Downtown, the masterminds behind this city-wide treasure hunt, have more up their sleeves. They’ve planned a month-long activation that comprises far more than just captivating light installations.
A month-long lighting installation known as "Swiftcouver" is set to engage fans through a full-scale scavenger hunt. The hunt will culminate in a potential grand prize – tickets to her sold-out shows!
For those who haven’t been lucky enough to snag Eras Tour tickets yet, this could be your last chance to witness Swift perform live and bond with fellow Swifties to celebrate "One Last Time."
Don’t worry if you are experiencing difficulty with pinpointing the locations. A map, provided by Destination Downtown, is available online and details all 13 signs scattered across Vancouver.
The "Swiftcouver" scavenger hunt runs until December 6th – the very day Swift graces BC Place with her final performance.
