Taylor Swift brings her Reputation tour to Nissan Stadium Saturday. For those headed to the concert, we suggest getting downtown early, not only to avoid some of the traffic but to give yourself time to check out some great Nashville sites. We put together a list of things to do before the concert. Wish we were going!

1Visit Big Machine Store

Taylor Swift’s record label, Big Machine, has a storefront located at 122 3rd Ave S, Nashville. Stop by and grab a photo in front the of Taylor Swift plaque then take home a t-shirt as well. Store is open until midnight.

2Order a Legendairy Milkshake

This new milkshake shop that opened in downtown Nashville is like no other. Each milkshake is a dessert in itself. Signature shakes include Campfire S’mores, Coffee and doughnuts, and Majestic Unicorn Shake topped with cotton candy. Yes, all Instagram worthy! It’s located at 171 3rd Avenue North.

3Stroll Down the Walk of Fame

Go see the stars at Music City Walk of Fame. You will find Jack White, Loretta Lynn, Kid Rock, Elvis Presley, but unfortunately no Taylor Swift one yet. Find the park at 121 4th Avenue South.

4Check Out the View From a Rooftop in Downtown

With the explosion of rooftops in downtown Nashville, there are so many incredible views but not all are open to families. Try out Ole Red or Jason Aldean’s Kitchen which is open to the under 21 crowd until 9p. Ole Red is located at 300 Broadway. Jason’s Aldean’s Kitchen is located at 307 Broadway.

5Try out a Pair of Boots on Broadway

Along with Honky Tonks, Broadway is home to several boot stores. Take a look at the latest styles, and there’s always a deal happening at one of the stores. Many of the stores also carry hats and other accessories which you could add to your concert outfit.
