Taylor Swift performs two shows at Paycor Stadium, one tonight and another tomorrow.

Cincinnati City leaders expect her shows to bring in close to $100 million to the city. Miami Valley businesses are hoping to get in on that.

Theresa Hammons, the owner of Ashley’s Pastry Shop in Oakwood, has created Taylor Swift Era theme cookies.

“A few weeks ago, I said to the girls, ‘We should make Taylor Swift cookies,’” she told News Center 7 on Friday. “They were like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is fantastic. Of course, we should.’”

Each is designed by their “in-house” Swiftie. They have been pumping them out as fast as they can make them.

“People come in, they’re not just buying a box of cookies,” said Hammons. “They’re actually conversing about, ‘Oh, where are you going to park? How are you going to do this? You know, did you hear this? Did you hear that?’ So, just the whole experience has gotten people you know, captivated.”

Ashley’s Pastry Shop will be selling the cookies through Saturday.

They have had many people that could not get tickets to use and still experience the ERAs Tour.
