Christ The Redeemer (Taylor’s Version)

All throughout Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, cities have bent over backward to welcome her to town, but the latest gesture from Rio de Janeiro surpasses all the rest. Thursday, with Swift arriving in town for her run of shows at Estadio Nilton Santos, a Swift-themed T-shirt was projected onto the city’s famous Christ the Redeemer statue, essentially turning Jesus into a Swifty. The shirt read “Welcome To Brasil” — a reference to “Welcome To New York,” presumably — and featured the names of Brazil’s states plus references to Swift’s music, like a scarf symbolizing “All Too Well” and a bow and arrow referencing “The Archer.”
