Taylor Swift has been ranked by Billboard as one of the greatest artists of all time, alongside other legends like The Beatles, Michael Jackon, and Madonna, to name a few. Swift has deservedly earned this spot, and is undoubtedly loved and adored by her fans, known to the world as “Swifties.”
In 2023, Taylor Swift began her iconic Eras Tour in the US. Since then, the Eras Tour has become a billion-dollar global phenomenon, and the highest grossing tour in history. Are You Ready For It? A Taylor Experience recreates the magic of the Eras Tour in a spectacular, unforgettable show starring Traci Marie. Traci’s attention to detail will not go unnoticed by Swifties. Her authentic costumes, mannerisms, and voice embody the essence of Taylor Swift. This theatrical style show is filled with everything you’d expect to see from the Eras Tour–choreography, stunning multimedia visuals, costume changes, and audience participation.
Traci, a small-town theater girl from the suburbs of Chicago, grew up surrounded by musical talent. Throughout her career, she has opened for national touring artists like Tony Orlando, The Righteous Brothers, Chubby Checker, and others. She’s performed with Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals, and Dennis Tufano of The Buckinghams fame. This former “Miss Congeniality” winner was also nominated for Tribute Artist of the Year, (2024) for the Josie Music Awards.
“We are so excited to come to Valdosta and thankful to have the opportunity to re-create and celebrate the magic of the Eras Tour,” said Traci. “Our show all started because of my husband, Mike. It was his idea to do a Taylor tribute so everyone can share in the magic. Our goal at each performance is to give all Swifties the chance to come together in a fun, family-friendly environment, and celebrate Taylor.”
