Taylor Swift and Juneteenth bring economic and joyful boost to Pittsburgh.
TL;DR
Taylor Swift fans broke the record attendance at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, resulting in a boost for local businesses. Burgatory, Shorty's, and Mike's Beer Bar reported increased revenue and record-breaking food sales. The sold-out hotels and merchandise sales also contributed to the economic impact. VisitPittsburgh expects to have hard economic numbers on the impact of the Swift concerts in the next few weeks and hopes to attract more big events to the North Shore.
