The Unofficial Eras Tour: Charity Eden’s Journey to Becoming Taylor Swift

What does it take to quit a high-stakes career, step into the shoes of a global superstar, and tour the world—all while paying tribute to Taylor Swift? In this electrifying episode, we sit down with Charity Eden, the powerhouse behind the acclaimed tribute band Lover.

Charity shares how Taylor’s Midnights album and the Eras Tour inspired her leap from wealth management into music less than two years ago. Within months, she was playing sold-out shows in Japan and performing for U.S. troops in Kuwait. Hear how she built a production that channels a billion-dollar tour on an indie budget, blending live music, tracks, costumes, and nonstop energy.

We dive into her viral marketing strategies (including the “Mother Cover” series), the challenges of nonstop performances, the role of business acumen in show production, and her bold move to incorporate original music into her sets. For Swifties, musicians, and dreamers alike, this is an inside look at how passion and professionalism can turn risk into global success.
