Swift's Long Island ties
So it looks like Taylor and Travis are getting hitched at MSG ... Well, why not? Taylor Swift has lots of connections to New York, and notably, Long Island. In 2014, she shot scenes for her "Blank Space" video at two of the Island's grand mansions — Oheka Castle in Huntington and Winfield Hall (aka the Woolworth Mansion) in Glen Cove. In the video, Swift played the revenge-minded girlfriend of model Sean O'Pry. Swift and O'Pry are living the life of Gatsby, complete with dramatic entrances down Oheka's grand staircase, pony rides along the tree-lined West Gate Drive and dinners in the grand ballroom. The fairy tale is soon shattered when Swift discovers O'Pry texting someone else while they picnic near the formal gardens. That's when the knife-brandishing, golf-club-wielding, mascara-streaked Angry Taylor arrives.
Swift performed at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on May 14 and 15, 2010, as part of her "Fearless Tour," which was her debut trek. The concerts featured opening acts Kellie Pickler and Gloriana. Her set list included songs from her "Fearless" album, including "You Belong With Me," "Our Song" and "Love Story." According to reports, the show included multiple costume changes.
And of course, over the years, many Swift tribute acts have attracted audiences to venues ranging from Mulcahy's in Wantagh to Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. In addition, The Vanderbilt Planetarium in Centerport has also featured a Swift laser-light show as has Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair.
