eras tour map stage

Taylor Swift tour has many 'eras.' We tracked her movements to give you the look and feel.

"It's been a long time coming ..."

Taylor Swift is performing her first stadium tour in five years, and she put in all the stops so fans can enjoy every second of the three-hour-plus-long concert.

With more than 2 million tickets sold on the first day they were available – the most sold by an artist in a single day – The Eras Tour is a historically monumental event that's breaking stadium records at nearly every stop.

Fifty-two shows are planned across 20 U.S. cities from March through August, and each show  boasts a 44-song set list spread out over 10 distinctly different sets, representing the albums – or eras – from the past 17 years of her career.

To see where Swift is on stage for each song through the show, Twitter user Vinoj @MRPERFECTLYFlNE  mapped her movements during each song on stage, and we confirmed them at the show in Tampa April 14. Here's a look: 

The 'Lover' era begins as Swift emerges from beneath the stage 

The show kicks off with dancers carrying large pastel-colored tapestries across the stage, then setting them down so Swift can emerge from underneath the stage in a bejeweled bodysuit .

She then performs six songs from her 2019 studio album "Lover." She had planned a tour to promote the album with dates in 2020, but it was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic .

Each era comes with its own stage props, costume changes and visual effects . The stage itself is a screen that changes throughout the concert, and it features multiple moving platforms.

The bedazzled 'Fearless' era follows 

Swift then changes into a golden dress with a bedazzled guitar to perform three songs from her 2008 studio album "Fearless." She also plays alongside a band, including guitarist Paul Sidoti and bassist Amos Heller , who have both been touring with her since 2007.

Fearless was the first of her albums to receive a Grammy for album of the year in 2010. The Fearless Tour was her first headlining tour , spanning 118 shows from April 2009 through July 2010. 

Earthy vibes for the 'Evermore' era

The stage then changes to feature trees and a moss-covered piano as Swift wears a yellow dress and plays five songs from her 2020 studio album "Evermore." 

It was her second "pandemic album," released less than five months after the first, and features folk music in contrast to her country and pop albums. 

Snakes and slithering: The 'Reputation' era excites

As Swift transitions into the "Reputation" era, a snake slithers around the screens and across the stadium through the crowd's lighted bracelets. She then enters in a black, one-legged catsuit featuring a red snake as she sings four songs from the 2016 studio album.

The Reputation Stadium Tour, which also kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, included 53 shows over seven months in 2018 and was the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist that year. 

Glamour and periwinkle: The 'Speak Now' era

The stadium then features purple visual effects on all its screens as Swift walks toward center stage in a ballgown to sing one song from her 2010 studio album.

"Speak Now," aside from its deluxe edition, is entirely self-written by Swift and is rumored to be the next rerecorded album she will release. She also did a concert tour to promote "Speak Now" that included 110 shows from February 2011 through March 2012.

Who's Taylor Swift anyway? The 'Red' era

The stadium then turns red as a dancer appears with a box that plays snippets of songs from Swift's 2012 studio album. She then emerges wearing a shirt that features lyrics or phrases from songs in the album.

She plays four songs from "Red," including the 10-minute version of "All Too Well" released in 2021. The song is so notable that Stanford University has an entire course devoted to examining its lyrics .  

"Red" also had its own world tour, including 86 shows from March 2013 through June 2014.

The visually impressive 'Folklore' era

Like the "Evermore" era, the "Folklore" era transformed the stage into a forest. Swift starts the set by singing while lying on the mossy roof of a cabin and wearing a flowing gown, then performs seven songs from her 2020 studio album.

"Folklore" was the first of Swift's two "pandemic albums" and won a  Grammy for album of the year , making her the first woman in history to win the award three times.

Neon lights hark back to the '1989' era

The forest fades away and a neon skyline emerges on the screens to signal the 1989 era. Swift wears a matching beaded top and skirt to perform five songs from her 2014 studio album.

"1989" received her second Grammy for album of the year, and its stadium tour ran for 85 shows from May to December 2015. The 1989 World Tour was the world's highest-grossing music tour in 2015 .

The acoustic set, unique song choices

Swift then puts on a matching dress over the "1989"-era outfit to perform two "surprise songs" that are unique to each show on the tour. She plays one song on guitar and the other on a piano painted with flowers.

There are no visual effects during this set, but she has brought guests out to play with her, including Marcus Mumford and Aaron Dessner.

Swift ends with the 'Midnights' era, her latest album

After finishing the acoustic set, Swift dives under stage and emerges in a faux fur coat and sparkly T-shirt dress to perform seven songs from her most recent studio album, "Midnights."

She announced the release of "Midnights " at the MTV Video Music Awards in August 2022, then released it two months later in October.

The Eras Tour: The Intricate World-Building Behind Taylor Swift’s Most Ambitious Sets Ever

By Katherine McLaughlin

There’s a joke circling the internet following the opening weekend of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour: look at any random collection of photos taken throughout the night—some even snapped mere minutes apart—and you’d never know they all came from the same show. What starts in a hazy pink, cotton candy dreamscape ends in a sultry, sparkling twilight—with plenty of undulating stops in the middle, from ethereal fairytale woods to the energetic skyscrapers of the concrete jungle. “[The stage] changed for almost every song, which is crazy to think about considering most artists have the same stage for their entire set list,” Maya Minocha, a fan who was at the opening weekend in Glendale, Arizona, tells  AD.  

Following the COVID-19-induced cancellation of Swift’s sixth headline tour, Lover Fest, in 2020, The Eras Tour is her triumphant return to live music. Three new albums and two rerecorded records later, the three-hour 44-song show recaps every era of her 17-year career in her most ambitious performance to date. “The sets absolutely made this possible,” Ginnie Low, who also attended the shows and runs the TikTok account The Thrifty Swiftie , says. “I didn’t move from my tiny little seat area the whole concert, but was transported to 10 different worlds.” Ariel Miranda , another concert-goer agrees. “It was such an immersive experience,” she says. With a distinct focus on world building,  AD takes a look at the incredible set design that helps bring her music to life throughout the 52-date sold-out tour. 

The Lover Era

Swift opened the show with tracks off of her seventh studio album,  Lover. “It was as if she picked up right from where she left off,” Miranda says. Having characterized the album with yellow, pink, and blue pastels, Swift—outfitted in a shimmering leotard—belted songs like “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince” and “Cruel Summer” while dancers wielding billowing tapestries performed beneath a rosy glow.

At one point in the  Lover set, a familiar dollhouse-like home appeared behind Swift, which many fans recognize from the “Lover” music video. “The screen began flashing images that eventually would piece together to become the Lover House, which was a huge Easter egg,” Miranda adds. In the video, Swift and costar Christian Owens move through various colored rooms  within a house in a snow globe. When the music video first dropped, fans theorized that each room represented one of her existing albums, and with the release of three new albums, many believe the home is now complete .

Other notable scenes from the Lover section of the show include a full-scale office cosplay moment during “The Man,” where Swift sings about the sexism she’s faced throughout her career. 

The Fearless Era

Projects and stage lights provide a golden glow during the Fearless era. 

Next up in the night, Swift performed three songs from her second album,  Fearless, for which she won album of the year in 2010 at the Grammys (the youngest artist to ever win the accolade). Though she was certainly popular in country circles following her self-titled debut album, it was this second record that established her mainstream success. And not only did the singer bring back some classic circa 2009  dance moves , she also brought back a dazzling gold motif that she employed when promoting the album over a decade ago. 

Taylor Swift with her bejeweled guitar

Outfitted in soft curls and sequins, Swift was often portrayed as the girl next door and an American sweetheart during this period. Though she did, at times, lean into this persona, fans remember her determination to be bold, strong, and, yes, fearless. The sparkles and shine acted as visual representation of this.

For fans, perhaps the most exciting Easter egg was a nod to the bedazzled guitar that she toured with during her  Fearless era. In an Instagram story, Swift revealed that it was her parents who artfully stuck the shimmering crystals onto her acoustic guitar just days before The Eras Tour kicked off. 

The Evermore Era

Taylor Swift performs songs from her ninth album, Evermore, at The Eras Tour. 

“The most striking moment was as she transitioned from Fearless to Evermore ,” Low opines. “The woods grew out of the stage.” A sister album to her 2020  Folklore,  Swift’s ninth album, Evermore, was positioned as a deeper exploration of the “folklorian woods,” a fictional, cottagecore-inspired place used to direct her first foray into indie folk music. Throughout this portion of the night, massive oak-like trees took center stage while Swift crooned behind a moss-covered piano. 

Swift uses a moss-covered piano for songs during this set. 

“I loved the Evermore era setup, particularly during her performance of ‘Willow,’” Miranda says. “It really made you feel like someone literally just picked you up and dropped you straight into this particular Taylor Swift album.” Sonically, Evermore was understood as a more gothic album compared to  Folkore. The bare trees and snow covered woods represent that, and they also show Swift’s desire to strip back layers and portray innately raw, natural storytelling. 

The Reputation Era

Swift stands atop a raised stage during the Reputation era of the concert. 

Spawned from Swift’s 2016 public feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West,  Reputation represented the singer’s reflection on fame and public perception and an opportunity to rewrite the “good girl” narrative she’d carried around for years. Though the album is often billed as defensive and reactive, it remains one of her most misunderstood collections: It’s also full of love songs and sweet moments. The dark stadium and blood red risers certainly support the most common perception of the album; however, it’s hard to miss the lit candles just below her. After all, it’s no coincidence burning is just as frequently used to describe rage and anger as it is passion and love.

The backup dancers pay homage to Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” music video. 

During “Look What You Made Me Do,” Swift’s backup dancers perform in doll boxes dressed in outfits inspired by previous looks she’s worn. The moment was a direct nod to the song’s  music video , in which Swift reenacts various moments throughout her time in the public eye in an eruptive, Easter egg-filled video. 

The Speak Now Era 

Swift sings “Enchanted” during the Speak Now set. 

Though Swift only performed one song from her third album,  Speak Now —much to the disappointment of some fans—she made sure to make it count. The color purple defined the album’s aesthetic, and, though the shade is often associated with royalty, it can also symbolize ambition, power, and independence. Following her historic win at the Grammys for  Fearless,   Speak Now was a pivotal moment in her career. Could she keep up the pace or was she another teen star who lost momentum as they reached young adulthood? Not only did Swift deliver, she proved she could do it on her own: Speak Now was the first album she wrote entirely solo. 

The Red Era

Taylor Swift wears an outfit nearly identical to one she wore in the “22” music video. 

The original  Red tour, which took place between 2013 and 2014, was her biggest at the time. It included a seven-piece band, fifteen dancers, multiple costume changes, as well as jumbotrons and multilevel stages. Though The Eras set certainly honored some of these larger-than-life moments from the first  Red tour, it also showed considerable restraint. 

Swift wears a sparkling red coat during an acoustic set. 

During one particularly emotional moment, Swift sang the 10-minute version of her critically acclaimed “All Too Well” with just her acoustic guitar. However, this doesn’t mean it wasn’t exciting. “Even some of her slower songs like “All Too Well,” where it was just her and a guitar, had insane stage effects that you wouldn’t expect, like snow confetti falling across the stadium and the stage rising when she started singing a high note,” Minocha explains. 

The Folklore Era

“I was so obsessed with the  Folklore set because it seemed like Taylor was living her best life in a little remote forest cabin even though some 60,000 people were watching her,” Minocha says of the A-frame cabin Swift brought on stage. (A version of this home was first seen in her  2021 Grammy’s performance .) 

Swift wears an Alberta Ferretti dress during the Folklore set. 

Thematically,  Folklore explored a fictional woodland world Swift dreamed up during quarantine, and while a cabin certainly captures that aura, the choice of an A-frame specifically is notable. Because they were relatively cheap and easy to build, the style of home grew in popularity in the United States following World War II as vacation properties—an appropriate connection given the album is centered around an escapist fantasy. 

A-frames also represented a unique moment for architects who, with little financial consequences at stake, were able to test out their more speculative creative ideations. In many ways, with lockdowns, limited promotion, and no obvious answer for how or if the music would be performed live, this is what Swift’s  Folklore era represented too: the opportunity to explore,  uninhibited . “I love that album and she really created this whole world for it,” Low adds, “Building the folklore cabin and bringing us all into that world with her was just so cool.” 

The 1989 Era

“Another thing that I loved about the stage design in general was how there were basically three different parts of it that all connected together: the main stage, the diamond stage, and the catwalk that led to the end of the stage,” Miranda says. “She really utilized each and every one of these sections of the stage at different times during the night.” 

Swift and dancers wield golf clubs during “Blank Space.”  

Though examples are abundant, a particularly creative use came during Swift’s  1989 set, a record which won Album of the Year at the Grammys in 2016. While performing “Blank Space” on the central diamond, the raised portion displayed a Shelby Cobra, which Swift and backup dancers “hit” with light-up golf clubs in a live reenactment of an iconic scene from the song’s music video. 

The Midnights Era 

During the final set of the show, Swift performs songs from her newest album, Midnights.  

The non-stop show ended with cuts from Swift’s most recent album,  Midnights,  with the stage cast in dark light, representative of both the title of the album and the end of the concert. Standing firmly in the present,  Midnights still has its roots in the past, since the album tells “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life,” Swift explained in a  Instagram post . It’s easy to follow the way the previous two-plus hours of sonic reflection—aided through the incredible set design—brought her to where she is now. As Minocha summarizes, “I’ve been to almost all of Taylor’s past tours and the stage and production has always been above and beyond, but because this one explores all the eras of her career, everything is just next level.”

Taylor Swift Is Releasing ‘Partially Obstructed’ Tix To The Eras Tour So Here’s What To Expect

Alexandra Koster

General public ticket sales for the Eras Tour kicked off on Friday, June 30 and they were a bloodbath. Now, a final round of tix are going on sale today Friday, November 10. And while there are limited numbers and many are partially obscured side-view tickets, fans are scrambling to get their hands on a chance to be in the same (admittedly large) room as Miss Swift.

So if you’re anything like me, you’re in full delulu mode and planning your Taylor Swift outfits , operating under the assumption that you’ll absolutely get tickets in this final drop despite the fact that literally millions of people are trying to get them, far outweighing ticket availability.

Sounds bad for you, but not me! I’m getting tickets! Surely! Hooray!

At this stage, it’s important to note that being able to buy any ticket at this stage is considered a success . But we’re dreamers here at PEDESTRIAN.TV. We’re also a little bit delulu, envisioning a world where we’ll not only be able to skip the queue and buy tickets, we’ll be able to choose what section we’re getting to sit in.

But even if that’s not at all possible, let’s have a look at the layout of the venue and what we can expect if we do end up with partially constructed side-view tickets.

Luckily, a bunch of Eras concertgoers overseas have kindly spilled the tea on TikTok, sharing what the seats around the stadium actually look like. They’ve shared important things like potential visual obstructions and what your view will actually look like. And also less important things, like how likely you are to be battling hundreds of thousands of teenagers with their phones out for the full two-hour concert duration or the potential to breathe the same air as Taylor (a gift).

Regardless of what you end up with, be assured that there are no bad seats at a Taylor Swift show (except for the one next to me). Trust me, I sat on the very last possible row for her Reputation Tour back in 2018 and it was the best time ever.

So read on for the DL on each seating category for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and real-life videos about what kind of view you’ll cop based on where you sit.

Taylor Swift Eras Tour seating map: What will seating look like for Sydney and Melbourne shows?

Despite the MCG and Accor Arena being wildly different venues, all Taylor Swift Eras Tour shows have a pretty similar layout in terms of seats and stage design.

All shows will have your standard stadium seating, as well as some extra floor seats closer to the stage.

There are plenty of opportunities to get up close to Tay as all shows have a little runway stage that goes deep into the crowd. On this runway, there’s a big ol’ diamond, which Taylor spends a lot of time in (as she should — boo needs to be front and centre!).

Reserve seating breakdown: Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

Great, now we can dive into IRL videos of what your view and experience might look like based on the tickets you buy.

While I’d love to be able to give you seat views based on the reserve class, that’s just not possible as we don’t quite know what seats will be under each category.

For example, A Reserve might mean floor tickets near the stage, but it might also mean front-row tickets in the lower bowl. Similarly, you might assume C Reserve is in the grandstands, but it also might mean an obstructed floor ticket. Ya feel?

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up a bunch of vids that show the Eras Tour experience based on where you’re sitting in the stadium. Please note that it’ll be hard to actually gauge how much these will cost you until we’re actually in the blood bath buying tickets.

We’ve all seen those videos of those people that somehow managed to cop front-row tickets on the floor (black magic, probs). But how do floor seats fare when you’re a couple of rows back?

Uh, pretty damn good. While they might be a toughie if you’re really short or bringing kids, the view here is so good, I’d sell my firstborn for it.

They’re also ideal if you really wanna be in on the action, like this TikToker who managed to get confetti’d into oblivion. Love that for her.

Despite everyone standing in Eras Tours videos, floor seating is allocated, so unfortunately, you won’t be able to smoosh that cute little face of yours to the front row unless you actually have tickets there.

To me, the lower bowl is the blend of all things good. You’re close enough that you feel like you’re in on the action, but being a little bit further away from the floor means there’s slightly less chaos around you.

You also have the benefit of being able to see properly thanks to tiered seating, so it’s a good choice for any shorties out there.

Lower bowl seats mean you can also take in the atmosphere as you’ll usually cop a nice 360 view of everything.

This vid was captured “from the 700’s”, which is a nice way of saying the very, very, very back of the stadium.

As you can see, it’s actually a surprisingly schmick view, proving that all seats are good seats.

Obstructed View

An obstructed view can mean a lot of things. It might mean you’ve got a dirty big pole in your way, or it might mean that you’ve been seated at the last possible seat on the side and don’t get a full view of the stage. For those gearing up to buy ticket’s in today’s drop, this is what you’ll have to make peace with.

In this TikTok, we can see that a person is seated almost next to the stage, resulting in a slightly obstructed view. That said, these seats are still pretty good as you’ve got a full view of the diamond, which Taylor spends a lot of time in.

These kind of seats might be worth it if you want to save a buck, just make sure you check what the obstructed view is.

What are the worst seats in Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour?

There’s a popular phrase going around currently: there are no bad seats at a Taylor Swift concert.

But if you’re really concerned about getting bad seats, it’s probably a good idea to steer clear of any seats with obstructed views. It’s also a pretty good rule of thumb that the more expensive your tickets, the better the seats. So with that logic, you’d probably want to avoid F and G Reserve tickets.

That said, I would happily sell my kidneys for any Eras Tours — even if it’s behind a big, fat pole.

How Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Conquered the World

The pop star’s record-breaking, career-spanning show has dominated the summer, commanding attention and whipping up demand at a level thought unachievable in a fragmented age.

• Share full article

By Ben Sisario

Reporting from Kansas City, Mo., and New York

As Taylor Swift rolled into Los Angeles this week, the frenzy surrounding her record-breaking Eras Tour was already in high gear.

Headlines gushed that she had given $100,000 bonuses to her crew. Politicians asked her to postpone her concerts in solidarity with striking hotel workers. Scalped tickets were going for $3,000 and up. And there were way, way too many friendship bracelets to count.

These days, the center of an otherwise splintered music world can only be Taylor Swift.

The pop superstar’s tour, which is now finishing its initial North American leg with six nights at SoFi Stadium outside Los Angeles, has been both a business and a cultural juggernaut. Swift’s catalog of generation-defining hits and canny marketing sense have helped her achieve a level of white-hot demand and media saturation not seen since the 1980s heyday of Michael Jackson and Madonna — a dominance that the entertainment business had largely accepted as impossible to replicate in the fragmented 21st century.

“The only thing I can compare it to is the phenomenon of Beatlemania,” said Billy Joel, who attended Swift’s show in Tampa, Fla., with his wife and young daughters.

In a summer of tours by stars like Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Morgan Wallen and Drake, Swift’s stands apart, in numbers and in media noise. Although Swift, 33, and her promoters do not publicly report box-office figures, the trade publication Pollstar estimated that she has been selling about $14 million in tickets each night. By the end of the full world tour, which is booked with 146 stadium dates well into 2024, Swift’s sales could reach $1.4 billion or more — exceeding Elton John’s $939 million for his multiyear farewell tour, the current record-holder.

Swift has now had more No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 over the course of her career than any other woman, surpassing Barbra Streisand. With the tour lifting Swift’s entire body of work, she has placed 10 albums on that chart this year and is the first living artist since the trumpeter and bandleader Herb Alpert in 1966 to have four titles in the Top 10 at the same time.

“It’s a pretty amazing feat,” Alpert, 88, said in a phone interview. “With the way radio is these days, and the way music is distributed, with streaming, I didn’t think anyone in this era could do it.”

But how did a concert tour become so much more: fodder for gossip columns, the subject of weather reports , a boon for friendship-bracelet beads — the unofficial currency of Swiftie fandom — and the reason nobody could get a hotel room in Cincinnati at the end of June?

“She is the best C.E.O., and best chief marketing officer, in the history of music,” said Nathan Hubbard, a longtime music and ticketing executive who co-hosts a Swift podcast . “She is following people like Bono, Jay-Z and Madonna, who were acutely aware of their brands. But of all of them, Taylor is the first one to be natively online.”

Swifties have chronicled the stream of celebrity fans who have turned up each night: Julia Roberts, the New York Jets’ new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, even Flavor Flav of Public Enemy. But Swift has also made each show a news event by adding two “surprise songs,” often with headline-grabbing guests. On the July day that she put out a music video featuring Taylor Lautner, an ex-boyfriend, the actor backflipped across the stage in Kansas City, Mo., and paid Swift effusive tribute — “not just for the singer you are,” Lautner said, “but for the human you are.” The crowd registered its approval with an earsplitting roar.

The Taylorpalooza extends to every level of the news media, which began the coverage cycle by chronicling Swift’s ticketing fiasco last November, when fans — and scalpers’ bots — crushed Ticketmaster’s systems, leading to a heated Senate Judiciary hearing . Since then, seemingly no nugget of Swift news has escaped coverage, from the stars in the stands to oddities like a Seattle concert that, according to one researcher, shook the ground with an intensity equivalent to a 2.3-magnitude earthquake .

Music critics have portrayed the Eras Tour as showing Swift at the top of her game as a media-savvy, big-tent talent, a pop star with a knack for grand spectacle as well as the polished artistry of a classic songwriter.

Shania Twain, the country-pop star whose career in some ways prefigured Swift’s, caught the Las Vegas stop of the Eras Tour, a 44-plus song production that goes as long as three and a half hours. She praised Swift’s “beautiful balance” of high-tech stagecraft and intimate performance segments. “I have to applaud her,” Twain said in a telephone interview. “As a performer, I know that work that goes into it.”

The power of Swift’s fan army — and fear of crossing the star, or even appearing to — has kept nearly all of the press about the tour sunny. Though some fans (and parents) balked at the ticket prices and challenges of securing seats, most frustration was directed squarely at Ticketmaster, not Swift. After a few weeks of headlines romantically linking Swift with a frontman some fans considered to be problematic, reports spread in the celebrity pages that they had split. (Swift’s representatives declined to comment for this article.)

For fans, the shows are a pilgrimage, and a rediscovery of the joys of mass gatherings. Flights are packed with Swifties, and travelers trade stories and compare outfits — drawn from looks associated with Swift “eras” — in stadium corridors and parking lots. In Kansas City, the comedian Nikki Glaser was attending her eighth show, a commitment that she estimated has cost her $25,000.

“This year I decided not to freeze my eggs,” Glaser said. “I’m going to put that money toward the thing I love most in the world, which is Taylor Swift.”

Before Eras, Swift hadn’t been on tour since 2018. And her catalog has grown by seven No. 1 albums since then, fueled in part by three rerecorded “Taylor’s Versions” of her first LPs — a project hailed by Swift’s fans as a crusade to regain control of her music, though it is also an act of revenge after the sale of Swift’s former record label, a move that, she said , “stripped me of my life’s work.”

“Folklore” and “Evermore” expanded her palate into fantastical indie-folk and brought new collaborators into the fold: Aaron Dessner from the band the National and Justin Vernon, a.k.a. Bon Iver, rock-world figures who helped attract new listeners.

The other major tour this year that is enticing fans to book transcontinental flights, and to show up costumed and in rapture, is also by a woman: Beyoncé, 41, whose Renaissance tour is a fantasia of disco and retrofuturism. Like Swift, she is also a trailblazing artist-entrepreneur, maintaining tight control over her career and fostering a rich connection with fans online. Together with Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” a critique of the patriarchy told in hot pink, they are signs of powerful women ruling the discourse of pop culture.

But in music, at least, the scale and success of Swift’s tour is without equal. Later this month, after completing 53 shows in the United States, she will kick off an international itinerary of at least 78 more before returning to North America next fall. Beyoncé’s full tour has 56 dates; Springsteen’s, 90. (Recently, Harry Styles wrapped a 173-date tour in arenas and stadiums, grossing about $590 million.)

Outside Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, fans posed for selfies and shared their ticketing ordeals. Esmeralda Tinoco and Sami Cytron, 24-year-old former sorority sisters, said they had paid $645 for two seats. A stone’s throw away, Karlee Patrick and Emily DeGruson, both 18 and dressed as a pair in angel/devil costumes after a line in Swift’s “Cruel Summer,” sat “Taylorgating” at the edge of the parking lot; they said they had paid $100 for parking but couldn’t afford tickets.

As Swift’s opening acts finished, the crowd rushed in. Glaser, the comedian, later said that of the eight shows she had been to, her favorites were the ones where she had brought her mother — and converted her to Swiftie fandom.

“Everyone is in love with her,” Glaser said her mom told her after one show in Texas. “Now I get it.”

Everything you need to know before attending Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour concert

From fan chants to stage setups, this is everything you need to know about the pop star’s upcoming concert

Share this article

American pop superstar Taylor Swift will close out the Asia-Pacific leg of her record-shattering The Eras Tour with six concerts at the Singapore National Stadium from March 2 to 9. The Straits Times highlights what you need to know “all too well” about the musical extravaganza, named for the different “eras” of her career.

The Eras Tour In Numbers

• More than US$1 billion (S$1.34 billion) grossed so far over 60 shows in 2023, making it the first concert tour to pass this mark.
• 151 shows in 22 countries, all held in large-capacity stadiums.
• Venues with the most shows: SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the United States, in August 2023; National Stadium in Singapore in March 2024. Both venues would have hosted six Eras Tour concerts by the end of 2024.
• 45 songs over more than 3½ hours.
• 9 to 10 Eras across 10 acts, depending on the songs performed during the acoustic set.

The Eras Stage

A. Main stage

Catch the backup singers and instrumentalists at the wings, flanking the main screen.

For the most part, the main screen depicts what is happening on stage. But it will occasionally display special video footage during certain songs, such as Anti-Hero (Midnights).

Highlights:

• Look What You Made Me Do (Reputation) features Swift’s backup dancers and singers trapped in glass boxes while dressed up as previous versions of her. 
• Tolerate It (Evermore) showcases Swift acting out a crumbling relationship over a dramatically long dining table.

B. Diamond stage 

Keep an eye on this rhombus-shaped segment of the stage, as Swift spends most of her time here.

• Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince (Lover) kicks off the concert, with Swift appearing from under a canopy of giant feathers.
• Delicate (Reputation) showcases LED screens which line the stage floor and “shatter” during key moments of the song.

C. End stage

• Karma (Midnights) ends the concert with a confetti shower over the stage and stadium floor.
• 22 (Red) sends Swift and her posse of dancers to the end stage, so that she can bestow the fedora she is wearing on a concertgoers.  

D. Notable details

1. Dynamic lights:  Roving spotlights and lights along the perimeter of the stage ensure that Swift is always well-lit. They also create stunning visual effects that can be seen even by those sitting in the nosebleed sections.

2. LED floor panels:  People in the stands enjoy a visual feast in the form of a light show on the stage floor, which is lined with LED tiles. During Swift’s viral dive, for instance, the tiles are lit to resemble crashing waves.

3. Hydraulic platforms:  These Lego-like blocks move up and down throughout the show, giving Swift a high vantage point from which to belt out her hits.

Highlights: Vigilante S*** (Midnights) and Ready For It (Reputation).

4. Epic dive:  To set up the concert’s Midnights finale with a bang, Swift takes a leap into the stage. Footage on the floor panels then shows her “swimming” towards the main stage.

5. Acoustic set:  Swift performs two surprise songs – which are different for every concert – accompanied by a guitar and a piano painted with flowers, respectively.

Friendship bracelets

Inspired by the lyrics of You’re On Your Own Kid, off the 2022 album Midnights, fans have taken to making beaded bracelets to trade with one another. These are often colour-coded according to the era, and might feature a song title, acronym, phrase or other “Swiftie” in-jokes and references. 

LED wristband

All attendees will receive a white wristband, powered by infrared signal technology, which lights up in different colours throughout the concert. Pay close attention during Look What You Made Me Do (Reputation), as the wristbands create an effect of “slithering snakes”.

‘This Is Extraordinary’: Why the Eras Tour Is Taylor Swift’s Greatest Live Triumph Yet

By Rob Sheffield

Rob Sheffield

“Jersey, welcome to the Eras Tour!” Taylor Swift yelled on Friday night. “There is one thing that I daydream about with the childlike enthusiasm of a hundred birthday parties, and that is MetLife Stadium Night 1.” That gets the mood about right. She spent this weekend at her long-awaited MetLife Stadium shows in New Jersey destroying the hearts and lungs of 83,000 of the planet’s most godforsaken messes. All three shows were chaotic jubilation, full of songs we’ve waited years to sing. And Taylor missed this more than any of us. 

This weekend I spent three consecutive nights at these shows, singing and weeping and suffering and agonizing through an emotional epic Tay-pocalypse every night. But it feels brutal that it’s over so soon. Nobody wanted it to stop. Not even Taylor, who paused on Sunday night at her piano during “Champagne Problems” to rave, “If you think I’m just coasting along thinking this is normal, I can assure you this is not the case. This is extraordinary.”

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

The communal vibe is always intense at a Swift show, but never more than at this one. I was in the Night 1 parking lot about 10 minutes before someone I’d never met gave me a BETTY’S CARDIGAN friendship bracelet that I’m still wearing right now. I brought extra packs of pocket tissues, which came in handy when the Fearless interlude inspired a few meltdowns in my row Sunday night. When Taylor began the Evermore section into “Tis the Damn Season,” the security guy came over and said, “You the guy with the tissues?” Another couple of fans were having tear-duct emergencies, sobbing to me, “I really love this album!” ONLY at a Taylor show.

Over the show, she celebrates every part of her career, except her 2006 country debut, which surprisingly doesn’t even make a token appearance, though she’s done some of the songs as acoustic one-offs. (There’s no other career where such a great debut could turn out to be Not Era Enough.) Some of the eras turned into full-blown dance parties, like 1989 , Reputation , and Midnights . Fearless was the one era where she flashed her early twangy side — she made such a statement by stepping out on the catwalk after the first verse for a triumphant power twirl. It was pandemonium when she introduced “You Belong With Me” and “Love Story” by asking, “Jersey, are you ready to go back to high school with me?” 

By the time she got to the Folklore era, it was already a few hours into the show, but her emotional brutality never let up — honestly, the worst thing that she ever did was what she did to us. She sang “The One” on the roof of a mossy cottage — the line that blows up into a real audience screamer is “You meet some woman on the internet and taaaaake her hooome .” She did just the peak of “Illicit Affairs,” the “don’t call me kid” chant — a song about sordid meetings in parking lots hit hard coming an hour after “Fearless,” a very different song about a couple in a parking lot, but maybe the same girl a few years down the line. So many of the songs felt extra cathartic live, since virtually all of us in the crowd learned to sing these songs in a moment of extreme solitude and isolation. She did “Betty,” “Cardigan,” “My Tears Ricochet,” and the unstoppable “August,” pouncing on that final “get in the car!” Also, it wouldn’t be Tay’s style to forget that MetLife Stadium is literally behind a mall .

She slips acoustic surprise songs into the set list every night, one on guitar and one alone with her piano. On Friday night, she did “Getaway Car” (with Jersey boy Jack Antonoff) and “Maroon.” On Saturday, it was a pair of New York love songs, “Holy Ground” and “False God.” But the peaks were Sunday night, when she did a stripped-down “Welcome to New York,” leaning hard on the line that people chose to overlook in 2014 — “You can want who you want/Boys and boys and girls and girls.” Then she did a devastating “Clean” on piano. Her enthusiasm spilled over with quips like “You guys always give 113 per cent” or “You will get a treat for that!” Early on Friday night, she declared, “You guys are historically a great crowd. Do you think that you want to continue that tradition?” When the fans roared, she replied, “I was hoping you would say that. In case you said no, I was going to just ditch this plan completely.”

“All Too Well (Ten Minute Version)” was the coup de grace, filling up the enormous space with the sound of just Taylor and her thousands of confidantes. It couldn’t help but evoke the moment when she sang it the first time she played MetLife Stadium — 10 summers ago, in July 2013. That night, it already seemed incredibly to think of how far she’d come so fast. But 10 ears later, hearing “All Too Well” in that same venue, it seemed to sum up everywhere she’s traveled in those past 10 years. Like the rest of the Eras Tour, it was a celebration of all the holy ground she and her audience has covered.

At one point on Sunday night, during the Midnights finale, I heard voices and thought the security guard near me was arguing with a fan. It turned out they were just trading friendship bracelets. It’s THAT kind of show. That’s the world this woman and only this woman creates, on an epic scale, night after night. There’s no experience in music like being part of that world Taylor Swift creates for a few hours. And there’s no way not to feel joyful about taking it all with you when you leave.

Background [ ]

Pre-sale codes were released for UK tour dates on Monday, October 17, 2022, coming with the purchase of a pre-ordered album of Midnights .

On November 1, 2022, Taylor announced that she will be going back on tour on Good Morning America with Paramore , beabadoobee , Phoebe Bridgers , girl in red , MUNA , HAIM , GAYLE , Gracie Abrams and OWENN .

A first batch of additional dates for the US Leg were announced on November 4, 2022, with eight new shows. On November 11, 2022, Swift announced a second batch of seventeen additional shows.

On June 2, 2023, Swift announced the Latin American dates of the Eras Tour, with Sabrina Carpenter as the opening act. A third show in Buenos Aires was announced on June 6, hours after the public sale commenced, due to high demand. Additional shows in Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo were announced on June 12.

The tour began on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona and is set to conclude on December 8, 2024, in Vancouver, Canada.

The stage for The Eras Tour is a long catwalk going approximately halfway through the floor section (depending on the stadium’s size) with a diamond in the middle, leaving space for Swift and her dancers to perform, and forming a T shape at the end.

During the show, a lift moves in the center of the diamond-shaped portion of the stage according to the song. The lift and the entirety of the stage is covered in LED panels. The main screen is a classic rectangle-shaped screen divided in three main panels.

After she has performed the surprise songs between the 1989 and Midnights sections, a hole on the T-shaped stage will open, and Taylor will dive into it and "swim" towards the main stage. There are visual and sound effects simulating a swimming pool.

• " Midnight Rain "
• " Vigilante Shit "

• " Mastermind "

Setlist changes [ ]

• Starting in Arlington, Taylor sang " the 1 " in place of " invisible string ". However, she performed "Invisible String" again during the second night in Nashville, in reference to the song's lyric "green was the color of the grass / where I used to read at Centennial Park".
• For shows opened by Phoebe Bridgers, she joined Taylor to sing " Nothing New " as a part of the main setlist between " I Knew You Were Trouble " and " All Too Well (10 Minute Version) " during the Red section of the show.
• For all three shows in East Rutherford, Ice Spice joined Taylor to sing the remix of " Karma " in place of the regular version as the tour closer.
• Starting in Kansas City, Taylor added " Long Live " to the setlist following " Enchanted " in honor of the release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version) .
• For shows featuring HAIM as an opening act, " no body, no crime " was performed as the first song in the evermore set in place of " 'tis the damn season ".

Surprise songs [ ]

Between the 1989 and Midnights sections, Taylor plays two acoustic versions of different songs, one on acoustic guitar and one on piano. Taylor announced that each surprise song would only be played once during the tour, unless she messed up during the performance. Further, she stated that songs from Midnights could be played more than once. At the beginning of the 2024 leg, Taylor announced that the rule of playing each song only once would no longer be in place, allowing her to play any song on any given night. Taylor has since removed the repeats and mess-ups rule. Since the second night in Melbourne, she has performed at least one mashup every night.

• On May 5, 2023, Swift announced the release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version) .
• Midnights (The Late Night Edition) CDs, when announced, were made exclusively available for those at the East Rutherford shows (May 26–28). However, they were also made available to the subsequent shows.
• On May 13th, 2023, the second show in Philadelphia, Taylor yelled at a security guard for harassing a group of fans while she was singing "Bad Blood." According to one of them, the guard kept telling them to stop dancing and calm down, before Taylor came to their defense by yelling things like "She wasn't doing anything!" and "Hey, stop!" The guard was then escorted out and Taylor gave the group free tickets to the third night of the show. This has also been made an inside joke and some fans chant "hey stop!" during the song, and Taylor herself alluded to the incident from when there were the puzzles to figure out the 1989 vault, and one of the answers to the hint 'bad blood' was 'she wasn't doing anything'.
• Swift premiered the music video for "Karma" (featuring Ice Spice) before the first surprise song, "Getaway Car," during night one of the East Rutherford shows on May 26, 2023.
• During the last show in Foxborough, Swift performed the second surprise song, " Red ", on her guitar because the piano wasn't working after the previous rain show.
• Swift premiered the music video for "I Can See You" before the first surprise song, "Never Grow Up," during night one of the Kansas shows on July 7, 2023. She also brought out Taylor Lautner , Joey King , and Presley Cash , all of whom starred in the music video.
• On August 9, 2023, Swift announced the release of 1989 (Taylor's Version) .
• On November 17, 2023, the first show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a fan named Ana Clara Benevides died because of dehydration and high temperatures in the city while waiting to enter the concert stadium, generating a lot of commotion. The show set for the following day (November 18th) was postponed to November 20th due to the high temperatures.
• Taylor revealed on February 7, 2024 she was originally going to announce her 11th album The Tortured Poets Department at that show in Tokyo if she didn't win a Grammy. Then on February 16, February 23, and March 3, 2024, Taylor revealed the three additional variants of The Tortured Poets Department, titled The Bolter , The Albatross and The Black Dog .

Taylor Swift stage

In a week where I was about to make the National Geographic/Utrecht University World Water Map my Map of the Week I was distracted by a completely different map altogether.

Twitter user @MrPerfectlyFine made a map of the location of Taylor Swift during her performance at the start of her new ‘Eras’ tour.

It’s a colour-coded network map with each ‘Era’ symbolised by a separate colour. His attention to detail then took the overall combined map into several deconstructed maps for each ‘era’. Here’s the map for ‘Lover’ with additional set list annotations. Presumably the lines show the starting position of Ms. Swift using a circle, and an x shows where she got to at the end of the song. Love it!

I admire the niche micro-cartographic approach, the aesthetic, and dedication to this mapping task. I’m certainly not going to repost all his maps so please, I encourage you to delve into his thread of mappy tweets here .

Taylor Swift gives massive Eras Tour setlist hint as she releases new Youtube teaser

Taylor Swift is preparing for the next leg of the Eras Tour, and it includes a few new songs.

The pop icon released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department , last week, and fans have had mixed reactions .

While fans are making their way through the 17-song album (along with its 15 additional tracks), Taylor is rehearsing for the European stops on her tour.

The 34-year-old posted a montage on Youtube Shorts of her rehearsing for her show in Paris, which starts on May 9. In the caption, she said: "A fortnight til Paris/ Brought to you by Youtube Shorts #ForAFortnightChallenge."

She's seen in the clips singing and dancing around a makeshift stage. During one section, she's leaning against a sign that has the initials TTPD.

Fans have turned to X to speculate which songs will be added to the show. One user thinks they've cracked the code, as Apple Music has added certain songs to the Taylor Swift Essentials playlist.

The songs that have been added are: My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys, Down Bad, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, But Daddy I Love Him and Fortnight.

While they are eager to learn if they're correct, some are curious about where in the show the new album will be played.

The Eras Tour is already about three hours and 15 minutes.

Fans assume one era will need to be cut to make way for the new one.

"Could remove some songs on Folklore and/or Midnights being the longest sets on the Tour," one person said.

Another said: "What if she gets rid of the surprise songs and does TTPF instead that makes more sense to me then just adding a whole new era and taking away others songs from the other Eras."

Travis Kelce Calls Taylor Swift 'My Significant Other' and Auctions Off Eras Tour Tickets at Patrick Mahomes' Gala

Kelce and Swift attended The 15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic gala in Las Vegas on April 27

Travis Kelce is showing love to his girlfriend Taylor Swift !

The NFL star, 34, called Swift, 34, his “significant other” in a cute moment as the couple attended their friend Patrick Mahomes ’ The 15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic gala in Las Vegas on April 27.

Kelce made the affectionate reference as he got up onstage during an auction at the gala to announce that Swift had agreed to put four tickets for her Eras tour up for auction at the event. 

In a clip from the gala posted on TikTok , auctioneer Harry Santa-Olalla, who appeared to be hosting the auction portion of the evening, joined Kelce onstage. Santa-Olalla also noted in the caption of a video he posted on Instagram Stories of the moment that Kelce had “convinced” Swift to add the four tickets.

Speaking to guests, Kelce said, “I think, um, I was just talking to my significant other,” — referring to Swift, who was seen in footage posted on X (formerly Twitter) sitting beside Patrick and his wife Brittany Mahomes at the gala — “and uh, we might have one other auction item that wasn’t on the docket.”

Kelce then asked, “Has anyone heard of the Eras tour?” as guests in the room cheered loudly in response.

In another video posted on X from the gala, Swift waved what appeared to be a red napkin from her seat as Kelce and Santa began auctioning off her concert tickets. 

Santa-Olalla then said to Kelce, as the camera panned across the room over to where he stood, "Who would actually pay hundreds of thousands just to know Taylor Swift is actually cheering you on as you're winning 4 of her tickets — this is insane! Let's go!"

Kelce laughed in response as he waved what appeared to be a yellow napkin. He then shouted as the auction started, “Let’s go baby!” Swift’s tour tickets sold for an incredible $80,0000 in the end, Santa shared in the caption of an Instagram post about the night.

Earlier in the evening, Kelce and Swift were seen in a video posted on X by an attendee at the gala making their arrival together at the event. The pair held hands as they walked past guests to their table to join the Mahomes. 

The couple were described as “super adorable” and “down to earth” by the attendee in the caption of the clip. 

"NBD. Just T Swift and her man Travis Kelce," they wrote over the video. "And they are super adorable together. So down to earth & kind ... Just super cool badass human beings."

The day before attending the gala on April 26, Kelce and Swift — who released her new album The Tortured Poets Department on April 19 — were spotted on a double date with the Mahomes at Easy's Cocktail Lounge inside the ARIA Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Billie Eilish announced the dates the world tour in support of her third album on Monday (April 29). The Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour is slated to kick off on Sept. 29 at the Centre Videotron in Quebec, Canada, and take the singer across North America through late December, with stops in Toronto, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Newark, Boston and Pittsburgh before a three night-stint at Madison Square Garden (Oct. 16-18) and two nights at State Farm Arena in Atlanta (Nov. 2-3).

Why Billie Eilish Insists on Sustainability In Her Career: ‘It’s a Never-Ending F–king Fight…

The tour will feature a number of sustainability efforts, including the continuation of Eilish’s long-running partnership with environmental nonprofit Reverb, which has so far resulted in $1 million in donations to environmental, greenhouse-gas reduction and climate-justice projects, according to a release announcing the dates. On the upcoming tour, sustainability efforts will include reducing greenhouse-gas pollution, decreasing single-use plastic waste, supporting climate action and updating concession offerings to promote plant-based food options.

Support + Feed will also continue its previous collaboration with Eilish and offer an expanded version of the Support+Feed Pledge aimed at inspiring fans to eat one plant-based meal a day for 30 days. Eilish’s fans are also encouraged to take public transportation and/or carpool to shows to reduce their carbon footprint, and to bring an empty reusable water bottle or donate to receive a custom RockNRefill Nalgene bottle they can fill up for free at water-refill stations at every venue. Eilish is also encouraging fans to fight the tremendous waste caused by fast fashion by dressing up for the gigs in thrifted, upcycled or borrowed clothes instead of buying new ones.

In an effort to keep tickets out of the hands of scalpers, the tour is using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange, which will allow fans who purchase tickets for the North American tour they can’t attend to resell them to other fans at the original price; click here to find out more about this program.
