Fans say it's worth it.
“It’s an experience like no other. This will be my fourth concert in a decade of hers," Vicki Jackman said.
NRG Stadium will have a clear bag policy in effect
That means bags must be no larger than 12” x 6” x 12” and must be completely clear. Guests can also bring a small clutch purse that’s no larger than 4.5” x 6.5” with or without a handle or strap. If the clutch purse fits those dimensions, it doesn’t have to be clear.

NRG Stadium parking
NRG Park parking lots will open at noon on April 21, 22 and 23.
Parking at NRG Stadium on the night of the Taylor Swift concerts is $40 per space at the gate and it's all cashless. You can pay with credit, Apple or Google Pay. On their website, NRG Stadium says that parking rates can change without notice and there's no in and out access.
All NRG lots (Blue, Orange, Green, Red, Purple, and Yellow) will be open. ADA Parking will be available in the Blue Lot.
NRG Stadium parking is on a first come, first serve basis. There is no pre-paid parking. If you buy a spot beforehand, it's likely a lot off of the NRG Park property, which means there may be a lot of walking involved.
Take the rail to NRG Stadium
METRO rail is an option for getting to the Taylor Swift concert. You can get info on the METRO rail here.
Will METRO have special shuttles or Park & Rides?
No. According to METRO, it will open its South Fannin lot as a special event lot. For $20 per vehicle, drivers can park there and ride METRORail to the NRG Park stop for free.
