Taylor Swift's 'Junior Jewels' T-Shirt Projected onto Christ the Redeemer in Brazil

The projection was made possible after Swift's fans collected 20,000 units of panettone and water, following a request from the rector of the Christ the Redeemer Sanctuary.

  • Taylor Swift's 'Junior Jewels' T-shirt was projected onto the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, ahead of her three-night stint at the city's Estádio Nilton Santos as part of her Eras Tour.
  • The projection was made possible after Swift's fans, known as Swifties, collected 20,000 units of panettone and water following a request from Father Omar, the rector of the Christ the Redeemer Sanctuary who oversees the projection at the statue.
  • The T-shirt, which originally read 'Junior Jewels' in Swift's music video for 'You Belong With Me', read 'Welcome to Brasil' in the projection.
  • The projection was confirmed by Rio's mayor, Eduardo Paes, who tweeted, 'Swifties cariocas… are you ready for it?'
  • After the shows in Rio, Swift will perform three shows in São Paulo, Brazil, before taking a two-month break until February, when she'll head to Tokyo, Japan.
