A few lucky Swifties may be able to snag tickets to her Miami show for free this fall thanks to a new sweepstakes.
This week, Florida rail company Brightline announced its Big Concert Sweepstakes, giving Taylor Swift fans the chance to win tickets to the sold-out shows in Miami in October.
As the train line shared with Travel + Leisure, one fan will win a themed experience that includes two tickets for them and a plus-one on Sunday, Oct. 20, at Hard Rock Stadium, along with four round-trip Brightline tickets for the "Tay-keover Sing-Along train" experience from Orlando to Aventura.
All you need to do to enter is follow Brightline on Instagram and sign the rail safety pledge by Sept. 20. Then, Brightline will announce the winner during «See Tracks? Think Train! Week» — formerly known as «Rail Safety Week» — starting on Monday, Sept. 23.
Participants must be 18 years old or older to enter, so if you've got a teen who loves Swift, go ahead and enter in their honor and make them your plus-one when you win.
«Brightline is about connecting guests to the biggest events,» Travis Christ, the chief commercial officer for Brightline, shared in a statement with T+L. «We're always looking for unique ways to engage large audiences, and this sweepstakes provides a memorable experience while educating fans on one of our top priorities – the importance of rail safety.»
Of course, if you don't win, you can still take part in Brightline and iHeartRadio's Tay-keover Sing-Along trains on Oct. 18, 19, and 20. The trains will be decked out in Swift-themed decor, and there will be plenty of bracelet-swapping and Instagram-ready moments for all.
