Orlando Pride announces Taylor Swift endorsement for KC Current match

You know what never goes out of style? A theme night with Taylor Swift.

That’s what Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League is banking on. The team announced Saturday that their September 13 game against Kansas City Current will be Orlando Pride Eras Night.

Swift isn’t mentioned once in any of the promotions, but league-leading Pride made sure there was no confusion. Finally, check out the date: In case you didn’t know, 13 is the music superstar’s lucky number. The press release is littered with references that only Swifties would understand, from the INTER&Co stadium turning into a “Lavender Haze” to a certain number of exclamation points after “Florida!!!”

The fan zone will feature themed entertainment and activities, as well as special tour merchandise, the press release said.

The game is sure to be well received by the crowd. The Pride and Current are the top teams in the NWSL standings this season and have the league’s top two scorers, Orlando’s Barbra Banda and Kansas City’s Temwa Chawinga. The two teams faced off as undefeated teams at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City on July 6. Banda and Brazilian legend Marta scored the goals in the Pride’s 2-1 victory.

Swift’s Eras Tour is currently overseas, but she’ll be back in Florida (!!!) at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens from October 18-20. It’s safe to assume her boyfriend won’t be making any surprise appearances: Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs have a Super Bowl rematch at the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

The Pride-Current game begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 13 at INTER&Co Stadium in Orlando. Tickets are available for $13 through Thursday, July 18, according to the press release.
