As Taylor Swift prepares to wrap up her record-breaking Eras Tour with three highly anticipated shows in Vancouver, one local business has found itself at the center of a viral social media moment.
Adrenaline Vancity, a tattoo studio on Granville Street, has created a holiday-themed window display that has both amused and bewildered fans, sparking a heated online debate.
The tattoo shop’s display features a whimsical yet unusual scene: Taylor Swift is depicted embracing a woman holding a baby, humorously dubbed “Baby Travis.”
Adding to the quirky nature of the tribute, the infant has the face of Swift’s rumored boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, complete with his signature beard. The festive scene is labeled “Merry Swiftmas,” merging holiday cheer with pop culture buzz.
The display gained traction after a passerby shared a photo on X (formerly Twitter), captioning it:
“Seen on a tattoo shop window on Granville in Vancouver lol did a double take like WHAT is that.”
The post went viral, drawing a flood of reactions that ranged from confusion to outright amusement. One user commented, “Help, literally what?” Another referenced a Swift lyric, writing, “Darling, I’m scared.” Others found humor in the unconventional artwork, with one tweet proclaiming, “The Baby Travis is sending me,” while another quipped, “She is both Tay Mother and Tay Father.”
Divided Opinions: Clever Tribute or Tacky Stunt?
As excitement builds for Swift’s three sold-out performances at BC Place Stadium on Dec. 6, 7, and 8, fans and local businesses are pulling out all the stops to celebrate her arrival. While some see the tattoo shop’s display as a playful and creative tribute, others have criticized it as inappropriate and even disrespectful.
Regardless of the opinions, one thing is certain: the window display has captured attention far beyond Vancouver, adding to the buzz surrounding Swift’s historic tour finale.
