Astros move up Taylor Swift concert for possible playoff run

With 62 games left in the regular season, the Astros are now in position for their first postseason berth since 2005, when they reached the World Series before losing to the Chicago White Sox.

Now, the Astros are gonna play, play, play without having to worry about Swift’s concert.

“As a concert and special event venue, Minute Maid Park is committed to providing the best experience to not only Astros fans, but to the fans of all of the artists that perform at the ballpark”, the Astros explained in a press release.

The Astros have shaken off Taylor Swift’s original tour date at Minute Maid Park in case of a playoff run.

With that in mind, there was initially little hesitation last winter when a Taylor Swift concert was scheduled for October 13 at Minute Maid Park, home of the Astros.

Taylor Swift fans will no doubt spend the next several months whining about this. Houston entered the day one game behind the Los Angeles Angels in the American League East and with a two-game lead in the AL’s wild card standings. Tickets purchased for the October show will be honored on September 9, but those who are unable to attend because of the change can receive a refund from Ticketmaster.
