Taylor Swift has written several lyrics that romanticize train travel or use it as a metaphor. From Rebekah riding up on the afternoon train in “The Last Great American Dynasty” from Folklore to the narrator taking the night train for a reason in her beloved song “Champagne Problems” from Evermore, there are lots of memorable Taylor Swift lyrics involving trains.

Now fans can take things to a new level and ride a train to see a Taylor Swift concert at the Miami stop of The Eras Tour in October. Brightline and iHeartRadio have shared a “first-of-its-kind immersive experience” for a South Florida Swiftie train ride from Orlando to Aventura for the concerts that will take place on October 18, 19, and 20, 2024 in Miami, Florida.

Brightline trains will run on the dates of Taylor Swift’s concerts in Miami.

The Brightline Eras Tour Train Ride Experience

Immersive Sing-Along Trains To Hard Rock Stadium

If you’ve taken a train to one of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour dates, you probably saw that it seemed a lot like a Taylor Swift train. With the tens of thousands of fans at each concert, it’s no wonder you are likely to encounter many on the train going there or around the city.

Now Brightline and iHeartRadio teamed up to give fans going to the Miami show a chance to gather together and start the party on the way to the show before they even arrive to the Hard Rock Stadium. They’re encouraged to sing along to their favorite songs on a sing-along train.

Fans will get to hear a curated playlist of Taylor Swift’s hits all along their journey. DJs from Orlando’s XL106.7 and Magic107.7 will set the scene for joy by playing beloved “Tay-tunes”. They are welcome to join in the many fans who will be singing along, but if they prefer to just listen to other fans singing along, that’s okay, too.

Taylor Swift Themed Decorations And Activities

Concertgoers who are taking this train to the Miami Taylor Swift shows will be treated to themed decor with “Easter eggs”, or surprises, along the way. Other activities are planned beyond the sing-along, too. Travelers are encouraged to make friendship bracelets before the trip or they can even create some during their journey, and guests are encouraged to swap the bracelets like they do at Swift’s concerts.

There will also be photo-ops planned for Swifties on the train, and there will be curated bites and beverages available. Vegan diets and other dietary restrictions should be honored, but he sure to check with Brightline prior to booking your trip.

The train journey will end in Aventura, then a shuttle will connect passengers to the Taylor Swift The Eras Tour at Hard Rock Stadium. (Yes, fans can sing on the shuttle, too!) Roundtrip shuttle transportation is available, with fans being treated to sing-along experience on the way home, too.

Travis Christ, Chief Commercial Officer for Brightline, said in a statement, “The Sing-Along Train is a fan’s dream come true, transporting guests through musical eras as they travel to The Big Concert. This is more than a ride; it’s a first-of-its-kind immersive experience. Welcome to the Brightline era.”

Taylor Swift The Eras Tour Miami Concert Details

Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour is coming to Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida on Oct. 18, 19, and 20, 2024. Starting in Europe after the release of Taylor Swift’s eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, a new set was added to the show, and fans will get the chance to see the concert with this latest set in Miami.

If Swift follows her current concert traditions, she will be performing two surprise songs each night of the tour. They may include mashups instead of a full two surprise songs. At the start of The Eras Tour, Swift set rules for the surprise songs, but she now says that anything goes, and she can perform any songs from her entire catalog of music. Fans have speculated that she may play songs like “Florida!!!” or “Fortnight” in Miami since both songs prominently feature the Sunshine State.

Streaming And Preparing For The Train Ride

The Eras Tour Movie

If you weren’t lucky enough to get tickets to Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour concerts in Miami, you can still be a part of The Eras Tour magic. The movie version is the next best thing to being at one of the live shows, and you can access it any time of day anywhere you can watch Disney+. The Eras Tour movie does not include the recent set from The Tortured Poets Department, and the set list is different. It’s still a wonderful way to experience this groundbreaking concert.

It’s also a fun movie to watch as you prepare for the train ride and concert in October. Since the set list has changed, and a whole new set has been added for Swift’s latest album, nothing will be “spoiled” about the show if fans want to watch the movie before the concert.

Fun Things To Prepare For The Train Ride

Learn to make friendship bracelets or buy some online if you’re short on time or the desire to make any yourself. (Hey, we’re not all crafty, and that’s okay.) Since friendship bracelets will be exchanged on the train ride and at the concert, it’s fun to be prepared with at least some friendship bracelets.

Keep in mind that the friendship bracelet exchanges can go quickly. If you have any bracelets that you aren’t willing to give away or trade, you may consider putting them on your left arm, then use your right arm for the friendship bracelets you are willing to trade or give away to other fans.

Beyond friendship bracelets, you might also want to get together a costume that represents one of Taylor’s eras or a fun moment in Swift history that will be well-known to fans.

Sing-Along Train Tickets Are Now Available

You might want to book your sing-along train tickets now, so you have the best availability to get the type of ticket you want. If the demand for sing-along train rides is anything like Swift’s concerts, they may sell out. For more information on Brightline’s sing-along train experience or to book tickets, you can go to the Brightline website.
