PAWS Chicago Partners With Radio Personality For Free Taylor Swift Tix

CHICAGO — Taylor Swift fans hoping to see the pop star first-hand when she visits Chicago this summer may not have to fork out hundreds of dollars for tickets, but instead, may end up at Soldier Field by making a donation for a worthy cause.

Brady from Kiss FM has partnered with PAWS Chicago for this fall’s Chicago Marathon as a way of bringing awareness and raising funds for the local animal shelter. Between now and May 15, local residents who make a charitable donation toward the cause of at least $20 will be entered in a drawing to win free tickets for Swift’s June 3 Soldier Field show.

“We are so grateful that KISS FM and Brady are supporting our Chicago Marathon program, known as TEAM PAWS Chicago, through this generous donation,” PAWS Chicago CEO Susanna Wickham said in a statement issued to Patch on Monday. “Taylor Swift fans’ donations will help PAWS Chicago treat more than 25,000 homeless and at-risk pets this year through programs that prevent pet overpopulation and provide homes for cats and dogs. We look forward to awarding these popular tickets to one lucky and philanthropic Swiftie next month.”

Donations for Brady’s Chicago Marathon charitable fund may be made here and will be accepted until the middle of May.

Swift's "The Eras" tour will stop at Soldier Field on June 2 and June 3 It will be her first performance here since 2018.

The set list likely will be markedly different from her last tour, as she has released four original studio albums since then: "Lover," "Folklore," "Evermore" and "Midnights." In a statement, Swift said the tour will take fans back through her music career.
