🌟 Fearless: A Tribute to Taylor Swift (6:00 PM — South Stage)
Fearless is a fully live tribute to the music of Taylor Swift — spanning every era, every emotion, and every singalong moment that made a generation fall in love with her songs. With no backing tracks and no shortcuts, this Chicago-based band delivers the sound, style, and connection that fans know by heart. From the banjo twang of Tim McGraw to the synth-pop shimmer of Cruel Summer — it's not cosplay. It's catharsis. 🎶✨
