Lover The Unofficial Eras Tour - Taylor Swift Tribute Show
2025-10-25 19:00 | Brown Grand Theatre, 310 W. 6th Street, Concordia, Kansas
LOVER: The Unofficial Eras TourA Taylor Swift Tribute Show featuring Charity EdenSaturday, October 25, 2025 at 7:00PM (Doors will open at 6:30PM)Presented by the Brown Grand Opera House, Inc.
Tell your friends and bring your friendship bracelets to share, Charity Eden is presenting LOVER: The Unofficial Eras Tour at the Brown Grand Opera House on Saturday, October, 25!
How Lover BeganTaylor Swift’s unquestionably iconic Eras Tour has become a cultural and economic phenomenon—the highest-grossing tour of all time, domination of news cycles and social media, tributes from governments—and has captured the attention and created obsession in fans and non-fans alike in a way that has never been seen before in the modern era. Swifties have been following every highlight from the Eras Tour like it’s our favorite football team!
Charity Eden (lead singer of Lover) attended the Eras Tour on March 31, 2023 and was privileged to have a floor seat, front row, 10 feet away from Taylor, and was wonderstruck by the performance! But as the Eras Tour continued, ticket prices went higher and higher, making it almost impossible for the majority of fans to be able to attend the Eras Tour, let alone as close as the front row. So Charity felt completely inspired to create an opportunity for more people to be able to experience the Eras Tour, and so began the era of Lover!
Who is Charity Eden anyway? Ew.You’ll discover that Charity’s musical background is quite impressive. Charity is a Texas-based musician known for alluring her audience with her charisma and powerfully expressive vocal style. At just 7 years old, Charity began seizing every opportunity to perform—whether at churches, school events, talent shows, or even the local Opry in her hometown of Wylie, Texas. Inspired by artists like Adele, Paramore, and of course, Taylor Swift, her sound is crafted from music that not only uplifts listeners but also transports them to another realm. Charity has a remarkable ability to captivate her audience and connect with the crowd, making everyone feel seen and engaged—much like Taylor Swift.
Charity’s love for music blossomed as she grew, accompanying her through college and beyond. Pursuing her passion, she attended the University of North Texas (UNT), one of the world’s most renowned music schools, where she earned a degree in music with a voice concentration. During her time at UNT, Charity did what she does best: she built connections. She feels fortunate to have the opportunity to perform with some of the country’s most talented musicians. Whether performing at local venues, churches, weddings, and corporate events, Charity is always accompanied by top-notch musicians.
For over 15 years, she has been her own bandleader, showcasing her skills on guitar, piano, and even bass guitar. With her strong foundation in music theory, aural skills, leadership, and networking, she has made a significant impact on the Dallas-Fort Worth music scene. In 2023, Charity began releasing her own music, establishing herself as an original artist. You can check out “Charity Eden” on Spotify and Apple Music!
Tickets Range $20-$45
