00:00 The iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro welcomes superstar Taylor Swift
00:05 to town ahead of her first set of concerts in Brazil.
00:08 The statue, known for its spread-open arms, dons a white-projected "Welcome to Brazil"
00:13 t-shirt to greet the singer.
00:14 The t-shirt design is a nod to Taylor's Junior Jewel shirt featured in the 2009 "You Belong
00:19 With Me" music video.
00:21 Taylor brings her ears to her to Brazil for concerts that have been a long time coming,
00:25 after the pandemic caused the artist to cancel her previous dates in the country.
00:29 The Christ the Redeemer Archdiocese and Sanctuary, which manages the monument, accepted Taylor's
00:34 fans' request to decorate the statue.
00:36 It asked for donations from the Swifties in return.
