A Year Ago This Week, Taylor Swift Made A Bangor Pit Stop

Remember all the buzz around here, a year ago this week?

She wasn't even here long enough to hit Dysart's.

On December 1st of 2023, there were lots of rumors are floating around about Taylor Swift touching down briefly in the Queen City, and it turns out... it was true.

When Taylor Swift attended the London premiere of Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé Nov 30, she returned the favor, after Bey made a special appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour back in October of 2023.

It turns out that when you fly back to the States, Bangor is the first major American airport encountered by airliners approaching from the east and the last for airliners heading toward Europe.

As with all things related to Taylor, the fans are an intense bunch when it comes to the icon's travel. At the time, there was a creepy Facebook page called "Taylor Swift's Jets." It would to track her every movement of air travel across the globe, but that page is no longer active.

As the events unfolded that evening, Taylor flew from London, with a layover at Bangor International Airport, around 10:30pm, then boogied on to Kansas City, landing at about 3:30 on the morning of Friday, Dec. 1.

Kansas City. Hmmm. Wonder why she'd go there.

Her boyfriend Travis Kelce, of course, just happens to play for the Kansas City Chiefs, and their intense love affair continues on to this day.

So, even though she only touched down here in Bangor for a short time last year, I think I speak for everyone when I say, Taylor, you are welcome here anytime.

Come back, Taylor. I will personally take you to Dysart's for a "Trucker's Special" breakfast.
