How stars like Taylor Swift and Eminem ended up at the F1 race in Austin

Since that year, visitors of the F1 race in Austin have been treated by first-class performances of world-renowned artists including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ed Sheeran. This year, Sting took the stage on Friday evening, while Eminem is set to entertain the crowd at the Texas racetrack on Saturday.
