Swiftie Concert Countdown: Tracking Tour Dates, Setlist Predictions, and Fan Meetup Plans with a Whiteboard Wall

A vast, versatile whiteboard wall can be invaluable for handling the many variables related to upcoming Taylor Swift concerts and tours. Keeping track of Taylor’s tour dates, making predictions about her concert setlists, and planning Swiftie meetups before and after concerts all become effortless when you have a large, convenient whiteboard wall. This article features some of the many ways to use your wall in planning to attend concerts, get tickets, predict what Taylor will sing, and arrange to gather with your fellow Swifties.

Tour Date Highlighting on Whiteboard Wall

Expectations among Taylor’s fans always run high before each of her concerts, and Swifties who win the ticket battle are always ravenous to be reunited with their idol and fellow fans. To help plan for Taylor’s performances, you can use your whiteboard wall to record upcoming tour dates, marking each concert on the tour with a different vibrant color of low-odor dry erase marker ink, along with a countdown to the concert date, and notes about which songs you look forward to hearing during each stop on the tour.

Setlist Speculation Boards

Swifties typically develop various theories about which songs Taylor will perform during any given tour. For example, before the Eras Tour kicked off, its name suggested that it would be a “greatest hits” tour featuring songs from each stage of her career. From her teen country tracks to her synth-pop anthems and rare covers, predicting which songs she’ll sing from her unique songbook is always a fun and exciting task for devoted Swifties.  

Using the broad canvas of your whiteboard wall, you’ll be able to create setlist speculation boards for all of Taylor Swift’s musical events. There you and other passionate Taylor fans can predict and discuss the songs she might sing, the mashups she’s likely to create, and which surprises she may spring on the audience during her concerts. After doing a broad assessment of Taylor’s unique songbook, you can choose the songs she’s most liable to sing and list them on your setlist speculation board. 

Every fan in your Swiftie group can compile a different list — that’s the beauty of having the huge open surface of a whiteboard wall to write on. Taylor has at least five or six dozen songs that seem like they belong in her Top Ten list. And they’re not placed there based on popularity, sales volume, or Q value, aka celebrity quotient, but on the level of musical genius they display. You’ll be able to decide on these pieces as part of your setlist by sharing ideas with your fellow Swifties, writing them down on your speculation board, and later checking on how accurate your choices were after a concert is over.

Concert Countdown Widgets

You and your fellow Taylor Swift fans can design interactive countdown widgets on your whiteboard wall, incorporating digital tools or creating physical images with dry erase markers to track the days, hours, and minutes until the next Taylor concert. Your whiteboard wall thus becomes a powerful collaborative canvas that takes your ideation about Taylor’s future performances to the next level. 

The wall can be used to seamlessly integrate electronic countdown widgets with your written countdown diagrams, offering you a dynamic and interactive platform to visually express your and your fellow fans’ excitement about upcoming Taylor Swift events.

Fan Meetup Planning Grids

• Dive deep into the excitement of creating fan meetup planning grids displayed on your whiteboard wall, outlining meetup locations, activities to do during the events, and the logistics for getting to pre-concert Swiftie gatherings and post-concert celebrations. Here are some factors to consider when you create your grids:
• The precise date and starting time of the meetup
• The number of Swifties that you expect will attend the event
• A conveniently located venue based on the number of people you think will be there
• Meetup activities inspired by Taylor Swifts’ music and life
• Possible speakers and volunteers to be involved in the meetup
• Ways to promote the event among your Swiftie fan group members. 

In planning for Swiftie meetups, it’s essential to know the nature of your Swiftie group because that will influence the rest of your planning. You’ll also need to consider the meetup’s structure, either flexible or organized, and choose a time for the meetup. The day of the week and time of day should ideally fit into all your group members’ schedules. Finally, select a venue, which will depend on how many people you expect to attend. 

Ticketing Strategies Mind Maps 

Use the vast surface of your whiteboard wall to generate mind maps for devising ticketing strategies for Taylor’s concerts, including ticket purchasing plans, seating preferences in the concert venue, and coordination of your Swiftie group members’ duties in trying to secure concert tickets.

The journey to scoring tickets for Taylor’s concerts is not easy. Just at the moment when concert tickets go on sale for “verified fans” who possess a special code, thousands of people will be logging into Ticketmaster at once.

That’s why it’s a good idea to enlist the help of your fellow Swifties when trying to get Taylor Swift concert tickets. You can use your whiteboard wall to list the names of people who might help you score the tickets and then contact them one by one to see if they’ll give you a hand. Then, after you’ve secured enough help, just before tickets for the concert are scheduled to go on sale, you can have multiple people waiting at their computers or laptops ready to order. It would help if you were diligent in your efforts, which may involve getting creative, like using various types of devices when logging into Ticketmaster. This can be helpful because companies like Ticketmaster have been known to reward buyers, for example, just because they have an Apple versus a Windows computer.

Tour and Concert Memorabilia Display Areas 

Create designated tour and concert memorabilia areas on your whiteboard wall, where you can display your past and present concert tickets, concert wristbands, concert posters, signed CD covers, and other mementos from past Taylor Swift performances. Put the items up on your whiteboard wall by applying magnetic circles or squares with adhesive backing. After attaching one or more magnetic circles or squares to your wall using the adhesive side, you can use the magnetic side to put your items up on the wall. 

After posting your mementos, you can write notes about each one on your whiteboard wall with dry erase markers then easily update and rearrange them as new experiences or ideas for your display come up. In this way your whiteboard wall becomes a dynamic center for exhibiting things that help you remember Taylor and her positive influence on your life.

Post-Concert Reflection Zones on Whiteboard Wall

Create post-concert reflection zones on your whiteboard wall, where you and your fellow Taylor Swift fans share concert experiences, song highlights from your setlists, and memorable moments from the event through the use of written reflections, doodles, and fan art. Take a few moments to reflect on your feelings about the concert. 

How would you rate your overall experience of the show? For you and your fellow Swifties, the reflection process may include the following:

• Re-living the best moments from the concert
• Trying to decide how great the concert was
• Focusing on the best moment you experienced
• Pondering why this moment was so special and 
• Resolving to contact Taylor to express your thoughts on the concert and its meaning for you.

As you reflect, write down on your whiteboard wall all the spontaneous thoughts and emotions that come up. Recording your reactions this way will help you better appreciate why you identify as a devoted Swiftie and what being one means to your life and well-being.
