Taylor Swift is headed to Houston, Texas!
Announced on Tuesday (October 4th), as part of a multi-year deal with AT&T, Swift will headline the AT&T DIRECTV Super Saturday Night on February 4th – the night before one of the year’s biggest sporting events.
The event will be held at a new custom-made 64,000 square foot venue in Houston. Tickets will be available through a series of promotions and campaigns from AT&T.
To celebrate the announcement, the Grammy winner tweeted an image of a football jersey bearing her lucky number – 13 – with the caption, “Thanks @ATT, this is gonna be fun”.
