Taylor Swift’s IRAs tour kicked off Friday night at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Thousands of fans – dressed in themed outfits and even bananas – would flock to the stadium during rush hour on Friday.

“As for concerts, it’s a completely different group of people. A lot of them haven’t been here before, and they don’t know where to go,” Anne-Marie English said Friday. “It’s a dead end.”

Foxboro police have warned that the intersection of Route 1 and North Street will be closed sometime Friday due to expected traffic jams, as drivers can only make right turns.

The townspeople plan to walk around in the next few days but say they are used to it now.

From themed clothing to Taylor Swift’s cakes, the companies are also hoping to capitalize on the crowds, having had this date on their calendar for months, since the ceremony was first announced.

“When you have 100,000 people in town, it certainly does an uptick in business,” said Union Straw general manager Craig Carrera.
