Police Take 44 Into Custody at Taylor Swift Concerts


A total of 44 people were taken into custody during Taylor Swift’s two day stop at Gillette Stadium on July 26 and 27 according to Foxborough police. The two shows had a combined attendance of 112,000 people.

On the first night, 14 people were taken into protective custody and only one person was arrested after the concert.

According to Foxborough police chief Edward O’Leary, the low amount of custodies was due to more mature fans and a late arriving crowd caused by poor weather earlier in the day.

On night two, a younger crowd primarily in their late teens to early 20s according to O’Leary, saw 29 custodies including 10 arrests.
