Contrary to what you've read in the leadup to this week, the next seven days in Miami offer more than Taylor Swift's show at Hard Rock Stadium. But the Miami Reputation Tour stop — the pop music queen's first stadium show in South Florida — is perhaps the most anticipated concert of the year, with supporting acts Charli XCX and Camila Cabello rounding out the superstar lineup.

If you're not on Team Taylor (or aren't willing to shell out big bucks for this one), your best bet is to go out and support local talent, including Millionyoung, Otto Von Schirach, Sun City Riot, and Savannah Cristina.

Here's your music calendar for the week. Stay ahead of all upcoming shows with New Times' Miami concert calendar.
