SEPTA is "shaking off" concerns for fans anticipating crowded trains while heading to the Taylor Swift concerts this weekend, and a South Jersey school got some recognition from the singer on Twitter Tuesday.
In a press release, SEPTA announced it would be adding extra train service on the Broad Street Line and the Market-Frankford Line before both Friday and Saturday's shows at Lincoln Financial Field.
On Friday, June 12, 10 extra trips will be added to the Broad Street Line's express train starting at 6:08 p.m, along with additional trips on the Market-Frankford Line starting at 6:05 p.m.
On Saturday, the extra service will start earlier, with 11 more express trains coming through the Broad Street Line starting at 4:28 p.m. and additional service on The El (for out-of-towners attending the concert, that's what you call the Market-Frankford Line if you want to fit in) at 4:30 p.m.
You can access the full schedule of additional service here.
Your best bet if you still want to go is StubHub, where tickets are around $10-$30 cheaper than on The Linc's website for both days (Links: Friday and Saturday).
The singer won't be visiting Cinnaminson in South Jersey as a part of the "1989" tour that will make its way through Delaware and East Rutherford after Philly. However, the singer did show some love to Cinnaminson High School, where students put together a lip sync video to the tune of Swift's hit song "Shake It Off."
I LOVE YOU CINNAMINSON HIGH SCHOOL http://t.co/lPGPNwoniP

The video currently has more than 6,500 views, but that number should jump after Swift tweeted it out to her 58 million followers. Students of the Burlington County school were naturally awe-struck.
Taylor Swift noticed Cinnaminson! Such a small town for a big star to have noticed!!! 😍😍😭😭😭💘💘💘💘
