'The fans and crowds in the New England, Boston, Foxboro, Massachusetts, area do not care if it rains...'' Taylor Swift told a roaring crowd. 'You guys are just wild!'
"12 years after Taylor Swift's 'infamous rain show' it looks like we'll have another tonight...her 12th show here in Foxboro," Gillette Stadium tweeted.at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Thousands of fans decked out in themed outfits, including TODAY's Jenna Bush Hager, were pouring into the stadium around rush hour.
"For concerts, it's a completely different group of people. Lots of them have never been here before, they don't know where they're going," Ann-Marie English said on Friday."It's gridlock."Foxboro Police had warned that the intersection of Route 1 and North Street would be closed at some point Friday due to the anticipated traffic congestion, with drivers only able to take a right turn.
Residents in town plan on hunkering down for the next few days but they say they're used to it by now. From themed outfits to Taylor Swift cupcakes, businesses are also hoping to cash in on the crowds, having this date circled on their calendar for months, ever since the concert was first announced. "When there's 100,000 people in town, it definitely brings an uptick in business for sure," said Union Straw general manager Craig Carreira.
