Taylor Swift continues to make waves beyond just music. Her charitable work often dominates headlines, but now, she’s stepping into the world of IndyCar. In a bid to engage her vast fanbase and promote motorsport alongside the vibrant city of Indianapolis, a series of unique racing helmets inspired by Swift’s Eras Tour has been unveiled.
This exciting collaboration coincides with her concerts at Lucas Oil Stadium, set for November 1 to 3. The fusion of Swift’s music with IndyCar is an event worth celebrating.
Created in partnership with Bell Helmets and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the eleven customized helmets each draw aesthetics from Swift’s iconic albums, offering a lively tribute to the superstar.
The designs feature beloved albums such as “Folklore,” “1989,” and “Reputation.” Each helmet will be showcased alongside a vibrant IndyCar show car display near the concert venue during her visit.

From October 31 to November 4, these striking helmet designs will be positioned throughout downtown Indianapolis, reminiscent of the Indianapolis 500’s tradition of promoting race drivers. Fans can participate in a city-wide scavenger hunt, with maps guiding them to helmet locations, each linked via QR codes to a woman who has made significant contributions to motorsports.
Following the concerts, these helmets will be auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting Women in Motorsports North America. This organization champions the advancement of women in a field often dominated by men, emphasizing the importance of diversity and inclusivity.
With an expected turnout of nearly 200,000 attendees for Swift’s Eras Tour, many will be traveling from outside Indiana, presenting a unique chance for the city to shine while promoting the IndyCar series. Visit Indy is gearing up with a targeted promotional campaign that includes social media engagement, geolocation tech, and collaborations with local businesses, aiming to enhance Indianapolis’s appeal as a cultural, entertainment, and racing hotspot.
