Taylor Swift is bringing her popular ‘Eras Tour’ to Atlanta this weekend and we have your guide to the pop star’s stop at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Each show, April 28-30, is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m., with stadium doors set to open at 4:30 p.m.

On Friday, Swift’s concert will go head-to-head with the third leg of Janet Jackson’s Atlanta tour run next door at State Farm Arena. We’re told you can expect massive traffic jams and challenges getting rideshares. Organizers are encouraging concertgoers to plan in advance and consider taking MARTA.
