It was a Taylor takeover at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this weekend as Taylor Swift became the first artist to play multiple nights at the venue - and did it for a total of 116,745 fans.

The music superstar brought her “Reputation” spectacle to town Friday and Saturday and dazzled with a combination of clever staging, potent pop hits and her considerable charm.
