Christ the Redeemer became a quickie this Thursday (11/16). He was wearing a fan t-shirt in homage to Taylor Swift, who arrived in the country this morning.
Rio’s famous monument received a map projection with a welcome message to the singer. The tribute comes after the fans completed a challenge proposed by the rector of the Sanctuary of Christ the Redeemer, Father Omar, to collect more than 20 thousand panettone and mineral water to help people in situations of vulnerability and social exclusion.
The singer’s fans had been asking for the screening for days and ended up motivating the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes. “We will have Taylor Swift duly honored, her arrival in Rio de Janeiro. Welcome, Taylor Swift. And be happy Swifties,” he told G1.
In addition to Christ the Redeemer, the Yup Star ferris wheel, located in Porto Maravilha, also joined the wave and paid homage to the singer with its own projection, dedicated to the lyrics of Taylor’s songs and the symbols linked to her albums.
Taylor Swift will begin her performances this Friday (11/17) in Rio de Janeiro, where she will perform two more shows on November 18 and 19. Next, the singer will perform in Sao Paulo on November 24, 25 and 26. All tickets are sold out.
