Empower Field Bag Policy Taylor Swift

Okay, let’s talk about the Taylor Swift concert at Empower Field. You got the tickets. The outfit is fire. But there’s one tiny, terrifying elephant in the room: the bag policy.

It’s not just a bag policy. It’s a Swiftie obstacle course. Think of it as the bouncer at the coolest club on earth—and he hates purses.

The Clear Bag Commandments

Empower Field wants your stuff in a clear plastic bag. No, not your cute sparkly clutch. Not your vintage denim tote. Transparent. Like a goldfish bowl for your lip gloss.

Why? Security. But also, let’s be real: it’s so they can see if you smuggled in a secret friendship bracelet machine. (Don’t try it. They know.)

The bag must be 12" x 6" x 12" or smaller. That’s roughly the size of a very disappointed cat. If your bag is bigger, you’re not getting past that gate.

The Clutch Exception (a.k.a. The Tiny Win)

Here’s the funny loophole. You can bring a small clutch. Really small. Like, wristlet energy. It has to fit in your hand—max 4.5" x 6.5".

That’s barely enough for your phone, a card, and one earring you found on the floor. My mom calls these “grandma’s mints” bags. They’re useless for snacks.

But Swifties are creative. I saw a girl stuff seventeen friendship bracelets into one. She called it “Bracelet Tetris.” A true sport.

What You Can Not Bring (a.k.a. The Sad List)

No backpacks. Even your cute mini backpack? Gone. That gives “too much mystery pocket” vibes. Security will side-eye you like you’re hiding a snake.

No tote bags. Your “I <3 Cats” canvas bag? Nope. It’s basically a laundry basket of danger. (Or just snacks they don’t want you to bring.)

And please don’t bring a huge sign. Unless it’s folded into that tiny clutch. Then you’re a wizard. Respect.

The Quirky Proof: Security is Swiftie-Smart

Fun fact: Empower Field’s security team loves Taylor Swift. They know the “Love Story” handshake. They’ve seen it all. One guard told me he confiscated a giant inflatable guitar once. “It was for ‘Shake It Off,’” he said. “I still had to pop it.”

They’ve got meme-level banter. Another guard asked a girl, “Is that a secret song in your bag or are you just happy to see me?” She was hiding a glitter bomb. He let her keep it. Chaotic good.

So play by the rules. Bring a clear bag. Smile. Compliment their Eras Tour shirt. You might even get a wink and a faster line.

The Ultimate Survival Hack

Here’s the real move: wear clothes with pockets. Big, deep, secret agent pockets. Cargo pants are your BFF. That’s where you stash your phone, charger, and a granola bar for the 3-hour show.

Or go full Swiftie ninja. Wear a clear fanny pack across your chest. It’s dorky. It’s iconic. And you can throw your hands up during “Cruel Summer” without fear of a bag swinging into someone’s face.

Remember: the bag policy exists so you can dance. Not to ruin your vibe. It’s a hug in the shape of a rule. (A very small, clear hug.)

So pack light. Pack clear. And when you finally walk through that gate, you’ll be ready for the best night of your life. Just don’t forget the friendship bracelets—they’re the only currency that matters. Shake it off, bag-wise.
