Thousands of Swifties are getting ready to descend on the Garden State for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour at MetLife Stadium and businesses are hoping it helps make it rain green for them.
The concert kicks off on Friday and all three shows are sold out.
Local restaurants are hoping to be The Lucky Ones(s) and cash in on the action. Redd's Restaurant & Bar is offering a shuttle service from its parking lot to the stadium.
"We are not in an area where there's going to be a lot of residential houses, so it's more like events, football games and shows at the stadium -- that's where we make our money and her being here three days, is wonderful for us," says Michael Johnson, of Redd's Restaurant & Bar.
Tour merchandise goes on sale starting Thursday and you don't need to have tickets.
Jersey Transit is also offering rail service to the stadium.
