So, you’ve picked your era, planned your outfit, maybe matched your nails, packed your clear bag and made bracelets; seems like you’re all set for Taylor Swift to come to Seattle on July 22-23.

But are you ready for the weather?

Weather can make or break a concert experience. Lightning is a sure-fire way to stop any performance, and Seattle is known for its cloudy nights and ever-present chance of rain.

Lucky enough for Swifties, clear skies are forecast for Saturday with a high near 80 and a low of 58, per the National Weather Service. Sunday temperatures are about the same but with partly cloudy skies at night.

These conditions might seem ideal for most concertgoers, but some fans of the country singer turned pop star might wish for rain.

Yes. As the Eras Tour stormed Kansas City on July 7 and 8, Fox 4 reported fans were hoping for a rain-soaked concert.

“We would honestly kill for a rain show,” said a Swiftie outside Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on July 7.

The idea of putting on ponchos and singing along to Swift in a rainstorm sounds ideal for some fans, per Fox 4.

Tay Tay fans who wish to watch her sing in the rain can hold out a sliver of hope, with Accuweather reporting a 9% chance of rain Saturday night and a 13% Sunday.
