OSWEGO, IL — While Taylor Swift is traveling the world with her "Eras Tour," a Taylor Swift tribute show is bringing her music to Oswego.
"Calling all Swifties! School's out, and it's time to shake it off with family and friends," officials said of the Sparks Fly: The Taylor Swift Experience coming to Venue 1012 June 6.
Joliet native Samantha "Sammy Jo" Masokas is at the helm of the show that pays tribute "in true adoration of one of the best catalogs and talents in modern music." In fact, the first song the singer ever performed in public was Taylor Swift's "Teardrops on My Guitar," according to the bio on her website.
