Taylor Swift in Sydney: Eras Tour tickets, times, set list & everything you need to know

Your ultimate guide to Taylor Swift shows in Sydney

Taylor Swift is in Sydney. She arrived during Monday's huge thunder storm that caused havoc around Sydney – and ever since, she's been causing a Taylor storm, stepping out at restaurants and the zoo – and yesterday, just a day before her first Sydney show, she's released MORE additional tickets . 

It looks like those of us who have tickets are in for a real treat when she hits the stage at  Accor Stadium  in  Sydney Olympic Park  for four nights this week, from Friday, February 23 to Monday, February 26.  Time Out Melbourne Editor Leah Glynn was at one of her Melbourne shows, and says, "Believe the hype, folks. Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is everything you are hoping it to be: magical, emotional, spectacular, transformative. It's three-and-a-half hours of pure musical joy, best enjoyed with 96,000 of your closest friends (the stadium atmosphere at the MCG was unlike anything I've ever experienced before). I laughed, I cried, I sang and danced my little heart out – and I'd do it all again if anyone has a spare ticket. All hail, Queen Taylor." 

If you were lucky enough to nab a ticket, here's everything you need to know about her Sydney shows... 

When is Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Sydney?

Tay Tay will take to the stage at Accor Stadium (after hitting Melbourne up for three shows) for her first Sydney Eras Tour concert on Friday, February 23. She will also perform on Saturday 24, Sunday 25 and Monday 26 before heading to Singapore to sing her heart out for a whole SIX shows. ( Here’s where Taylor Swift is staying in Sydney and all the places she could be eating at .)

What time will Taylor Swift come on stage?

All gates to Accor Stadium will open at 4.30pm... for those people who are reaaaaally keen to get in early to secure some merch . However, every single seat at the Sydney nights of the Eras Tour is assigned, which means there’s no point rocking up super early to get a spot in the (non-existent) mosh pit.

The music will kick off at 6.20pm, with pop princess Sabrina Carpenter as the opening act. We can’t be 100 per cent sure exactly what time Taylor will come on stage, but all signs point to around 7.30pm or 8pm at the latest.

What can I bring to Taylor Swift Sydney?

There are specific rules for what you can and can’t bring to Taylors Eras Tour in Sydney. Here are the main things to remember:

You can bring:

• One bag with a maximum of two compartments, smaller than A4 size. It doesn’t need to be clear, in case you were wondering.
• Friendship bracelets (of course), but you're meant to wear them on your arms!
• A rain poncho
• A portable charger smaller than the size of your phone
• Sunscreen, but not the aerosol kind
• A sealed, clear, soft plastic water bottle no larger than 600ml

You can’t bring:

• Outside food
• D-rings or carabiners for friendship bracelets
• Signs bigger than 28 x 45cm
• Studded jewellery (sorry Rep girlies)
• Metal or hard plastic containers

Are there any Taylor Swift Sydney tickets left?

This won’t come as a shock to anyone, but demand for Taylor Swift tickets has been through the roof (and into the stratosphere, at this point). A  limited number of new Taylor Swift tickets  went on sale at 4pm on Thursday. Aside from the new tickets, resale through Ticketek Marketplace is your best bet – be wary of scams on other platforms!

What’s the full setlist for the Eras Tour? 

The Eras Tour has a setlist like no other, spanning a staggering three hours (and 44 songs). Since the tour has already been travelling around the world, we mostly know what to expect, save for some nightly ‘surprise songs’. Here’s the Eras Tour setlist for Australia:

• ‘Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince’
• ‘Cruel Summer’
• ‘The Man’
• ‘You Need to Calm Down’
• ‘Lover’
• ‘The Archer’
• ‘Fearless’
• ‘You Belong With Me’
• ‘Love Story’
• ‘’Tis the Damn Season’
• ‘Willow’
• ‘Marjorie’
• ‘Champagne Problems’
• ‘Tolerate It’
• ‘Ready For It?’
• ‘Delicate’
• ‘Don’t Blame Me’
• ‘Look What You Made Me Do’
• ‘Enchanted’
• ‘22’
• ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’
• ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’
• ‘All Too Well (10-Minute Version)’
• ‘The 1’
• ‘Betty’
• ‘The Last Great American Dynasty’
• ‘August’
• ‘Illicit Affairs’
• ‘My Tears Ricochet’
• ‘Cardigan’
• ‘Style’
• ‘Blank Space’
• ‘Shake it Off’
• ‘Wildest Dreams’
• ‘Bad Blood’
• ‘Tim McGraw’
• ‘Lavender Haze’
• ‘Anti-Hero’
• ‘Midnight Rain’
• ‘Vigilante Shit’
• ‘Bejeweled’
• ‘Mastermind’
• ‘Karma’

Who will be supporting Taylor Swift in Sydney?

Singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter ( who Taylor dined with at Pellegrino 2000 ) will be supporting Taylor on the Aussie leg of the Eras Tour. She's best known for hit songs 'Nonsense', 'Feather' and 'On My Way'. On Tuesday, February 13, a new batch of tickets dropped for the Sydney shows – as expected, they were snapped up quickly and sold out within hours. The tickets on sale were for seats with partially obscured views.

Here's the Accor Stadium seating map for Taylor Swift's Sydney shows.

Taylor Swift Eras tour general sale starts today. Here's what you need to know to grab your ticket

It's the final countdown, Swifties.

Today is the day that Eras tour tickets go on general sale.

Two more Australian shows were announced yesterday, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne.

Ticketek reported that more than  4 million people tried to buy a limited amount of tickets on Wednesday's pre-sale.

Both the Sydney and Melbourne pre-sale tickets sold out within hours.

Which is to say, a lot of people from all around Australia and possibly overseas are going to be logging onto Ticketek today to try their chances.

Here's what you need to know.

What time do Taylor Swift tickets go on sale?

Tickets to Sydney will go on sale at 10am AEST today .

Melbourne will go on sale at 2pm AEST today .

When are the new Taylor Swift Australian tour dates?

Melbourne — melbourne cricket ground (mcg):.

Friday, February 16

Saturday, February 17

Sunday, February 18 (new)

Sydney — Accor Stadium:

Friday, February 23

Saturday, February 24

Sunday, February 25

Monday, February 26 (new)

What are the seating maps for Taylor Swift's Sydney and Melbourne shows?

Here are both the seating maps for Taylor Swift's Australian Eras tour.

The small strips of light green in Melbourne and yellow in Sydney are the affordable G reserve tickets while most of the stadiums consist of D reserve tickets ($199.99) and above.

Sydney – Accor Stadium

Melbourne – MCG

How much are Taylor Swift tickets?

There are five tiers of tickets for both Sydney and Melbourne, ranging from $79.90 for G reserve tickets to $379.90 for A reserve tickets.

Each ticketing tier also has a corresponding VIP package that contain a ticket ranging from A reserve to E reserve as well as four prints of the artist, a tote bag, a pin, a tour lanyard and a sticker and postcard set.

These VIP packages scale in price from $349.99 to $1249.90 .

How many Taylor Swift tickets are left?

We're don't know exactly how many tickets are still available.

But we can estimate how many tickets there were to begin with.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated on Tuesday there will be about 450,500 tickets sold — that's only enough for 1.7 per cent of Australia's population.

But considering the two extra shows added and that MCG has a capacity of 100,000 people and the Accor Stadium can hold 83,500 people, it's reasonable to assume that over 600,000 tickets will be sold across all dates.

Is it better to get in the queue early?

You might be ready to go hours before the ticket hub opens but Ticketek says there's no reason to log on early.

That's because their queue isn't applied in chronological order, it's random.

"The randomisation starts once the on-sale commences, so there is no advantage for fans to jump on hours before," a Ticketek spokesperson confirmed to ABC News.

"We recommend that fans log on 15 minutes earlier just so they are ready once the on-sale kicks off."

"Everyone in the Ticketek lounge has as equal opportunity to get into the site regardless of when they have arrived.”

What are Ticketek's tips to getting a Taylor Swift ticket?

On Monday afternoon, Ticketek shared the best way to get a golden ticket.

Here's the advice:

• Have your Frontier Pre-sale code ready
• Enter the Ticketek Lounge at least 15 minutes before the sale starts
• Don't refresh your browser
• Once you're through, keep an eye on the countdown timer and fill out the details within the time frame.

How many tickets can you buy?

There's a limit of four per customer .

If you want to buy more than four, you have to order with a different Ticketek account as well as a different debit card.

The company says it may cancel tickets for people who are detected as buying more than four with the same email address, billing address, credit card number or other information.

Is there going to be an official Taylor Swift resale?

The official Ticketek resale on their secondary platform Tmarketplace is the only place to get a guaranteed resale ticket .

Ticketek has warned that they will be cancelling and refunding tickets sold on illegitimate third party sites.

The Ticketek Taylor Swift resale will open on Monday September 4 .

Eras already a boom to tourism

Sydneysiders and Melburnians aren't the only ones trying to get their hands on Eras tickets.

A major hotel chain reported a 1129 per cent increase in Sydney bookings after the tour was announced.

The same chain reported a 9400 per cent increase in Melbourne hotel bookings after the tour was announced.

And it's not just hotels that are set for a revenue spike.

Earlier in the month Webjet reported a spike in searches for flights around the Eras tour dates, a 282 per cent increase for Sydney and a 151 per cent increase in Melbourne.

NOT A DRILL: Taylor Swift Has Just Added Two Extra Dates To Her Australian Eras Tour

Laura Masia

Alexandra Koster

Michael Di Iorio

Soaliha Iqbal

Sweeney Preston

Tiketek made an announcement for the new tickets on Thursday November 9.

“Due to the demand, additional tickets including partially-obstructed side view tickets will be released with prices starting from $79.90,” it read.

“Limited tickets across all the Australian concert dates will be available from Friday 10 November at 10am for Sydney and 4pm for Melbourne until allocations are exhausted.” HUGE!!!!!!!!!

Previously, the demand for the shows prompted Miss Swift to add TWO more Eras Tour Australia dates to her time Down Under.

The queen giveth, the queen provideth.

Miss Swift added an extra show in Melbourne on February 18, and another in Sydney on February 26.

This makes Taylor the first artist since Madonna in 1993 to perform three shows at the MCG. That’s fkn huge. 

Tickets for the extra shows went sale along with the original tickets back in June. While it wasn’t great news for our interstate hotties and pals in Aotearoa, it did give a little more hope to the hoards of people who missed out on pre-sale tickets.

If you missed out on tickets (sad), you can check out what resale sites are (and aren’t) recommended to buy tickets from . According to a Ticketek spokesperson, over four million people across Sydney and Melbourne were trying to snag tickets to see our glittery queen last time.

Now that there are more tickets up for grabs, we wish you good luck, godspeed, and may the odds be ever in your favour.

Ahead, we’ve compiled everything (and we mean everything ) you need to know about Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Australia.

When is Taylor Swift coming to Australia?

Taylor Swift will be performing two Eras Tour gigs in Melbourne and three gigs in Sydney in February 2024. 

Taylor Swift Eras Tour Dates:

• Friday 16 – Melbourne, MCG
• Saturday 17 – Melbourne, MCG
• Sunday 18 – Melbounre, MCG
• Friday 23 – Sydney, Accor Stadium
• Saturday 24 – Sydney, Accor Stadium
• Sunday 25 – Sydney, Accor Stadium
• Monday 26 – Sydney, Accor Stadium

When do Taylor Swift Eras Tour Australian tickets go on sale?

For those who were determined to be the first to get their grimy hands on Eras Tour tix in Australia, there were two pre-sale options. One was the American Express VIP package Pre-Sale which happened on June 26 and only sold VIP two packages — not general admission tickets.

After that, regular pre-sale and VIP tickets were available via Frontier Touring on Wednesday, June 28.

Unsurprisingly, the Frontier Member’s pre-sale was an absolute shit fight with many of us missing out.

General tickets went on sale Friday, June 30.

The new additional tickets will go on sale Friday, November 10. Sydney tickets will become available at 10am while the Melbourne allocation will be available at 4pm. What a time to be alive, my friends! Good luck to all!

What are the Taylor Swift ticket prices for Australia’s Eras Tour?

I hope you’re ready to drain your bank account and sell your firstborn because these bad boys are NOT cheap.

If you’re ready to go all out with A Reserve tickets, you’ll pay $379.90 a pop. But if you’re happy to just vibe along and don’t care where you sit, you could cop G Reserve tickets for $79.90.

Here’s how much tickets cost for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Australia:

How can I get Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets?

Ah yes, that little chestnut. It’s expected to be extremely difficult to get Eras Tour ticket as demand far outweighs ticket availability.

But don’t fret, we’ve put together a guide filled with handy tips on how to make sure you actually get tickets to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour .

While you’re at it, can you make sure you get one for us?

How does the Ticketek queue work for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour?

PEDESTRIAN.TV spoke to a Ticketek representative about exactly how the Ticketek queue works in anticipation of general ticket sales.

Learn how the Ticketek queue works here .

Where’s the best place to sit for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour?

Good question. We’ve compiled an entire guide on the best (and worst) places to sit for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour based on some clever Swifties on TikTok who are really doing god’s work.

What is the Taylor Swift Eras Tour setlist?

The  official set list  includes 44 songs (!!) and the Eras Tour is doing exactly what it promised — taking Swifties on a journey through all the musical eras of Taylor Swift.

The Eras Tour is the first tour for the pop star in five years, and she’s performing hit after hit for the duration of the show.

Warning: spoilers ahead.

Eras Tour Setlist:

• Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince”
• “Cruel Summer”
• “You Need to Calm Down”
• “The Archer”
• “You Belong With Me”
• “Love Story”
• ” ‘Tis the Damn Season”
• “Champagne Problems”
• “Tolerate It”
• “Ready For It?”
• “Don’t Blame Me”
• “Look What You Made Me Do”
• “Enchanted”
• “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
• “I Knew You Were Trouble”
• “All Too Well (10-Minute Version)”
• “The Last Great American Dynasty”
• “Illicit Affairs”
• “My Tears Ricochet”
• “Blank Space”
• “Shake it Off”
• “Wildest Dreams”
• “Bad Blood”
• “Mirrorball”
• “Tim McGraw”
• “Lavender Haze”
• “Anti-Hero”
• “Midnight Rain”
• “Vigilante Shit”
• “Bejeweled”
• “Mastermind”

OG fans will be thrilled to see bops like “Enchanted” and “Fearless” both making the cut for the setlist.

There are tracks off of her fourth studio album Red , including “I Knew You Were Trouble” and the 10-minute (yes,  10-minute ) version of “All Too Well”, so excuse me while I curl up into a ball and sob for the remainder of the day.

“Cruel Summer” also makes an appearance. I’ve never wanted to see someone dancing around on stage in a bedazzled leotard more in my life.

“Lavender Haze”, “Mirrorball” and “Style” are all confirmed for Eras and seriously, Taylor Swift knows what we want and she  gives it to us .

Even “You Belong With Me” got some air time. 12-year-old me is screaming .

Tracks from every single album appear to be making the cut. Why doesn’t every artist structure their live performances like this ?

And while many Aussies have been miffed over not having tour dates until 2024, there is a slight silver lining in that we might be able to see more songs from Speak Now (the best album, IMHO) on the setlist thanks to its re-release in July.

Why has there been so much drama over the location of Taylor Swift’s Australian Eras Tour shows?

Ooooh boy, there’s been a lot of whispers about the location of Taylor Swift’s Australian Eras Tour for months now.

It all kicked off from a Tweet posted in March when the oracular gossip site Deuxmoi hinted that Taylor Swift had already booked the country’s biggest stadium, the MCG, for her tour. 

“Dates have been booked for Taylor at the MCG in Melbourne, Aus. So she’s definitely coming to Australia!” the Tweet read.

Shortly after this, an anonymous individual claiming to work for the MCG sent the Shameless podcast a DM claiming TayTay is defs on her way.

“Hush Hush but I work for the MCG and dates have been booked in for Taylor,” they wrote.

Per the anon tea spiller, the “You Need To Calm Down” singer will be playing not one but TWO shows at the MCG.

Thankfully, they were right! Yahoo!

Is there any footage of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour?

For the last few months, Australians have been forced to watch footage from the Eras Tour unfold on TikTok, including vids featuring the likes of Hayley Williams ,  Gigi Hadid ,  and  Emma Stone straight-vibing. TBH, it’s had Aussie Swifties begging for a Taylor Swift Australia tour.

The Eras Tour kicked off on March 17 in the US, and based on the footage, it’s everything we wanted and more.

A ‘yuge thank you to all the overseas Swifties for the glorious footage from the Taylor Swift Eras Tour!

This tour is cracking up to be everything I could ever want in a T Swift tour, the song choices, the wardrobe changes, the set . Phenomenal, truly.

Taylor Swift always keeps her promises. Just a couple weeks after unveiling a list of Latin American dates for her bestselling Eras Tour and pledging to schedule even more across the globe, the 33-year-old pop star has now announced a slew of international shows for the trek in 2024.

Here Are the Artists Opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour: Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers…

Trending on billboard.

Swift first confirmed that the Eras Tour would be going global earlier this month, when the “Anti-Hero” singer announced a Latin American leg of shows in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina also featuring support from Carpenter, whom Swift called a “sweet angel princess.” “Really thrilled to tell you this!!” the pop star wrote in a post to her social media accounts at the time. “Mexico, Argentina and Brazil: We are bringing The Eras Tour to you this year!” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

“LOTS more international dates to come soon, promise!” she added.

Ten days later, Swift added three additional shows to the Latin America leg, which kicks off in early August and picks up in November.

In addition to the new shows, Swifties also have a new album to look forward to in the coming weeks. As announced in May, Swift’s third studio album, Speak Now, will receive the “Taylor’s Version” treatment. Re-recordings of the set’s original tracks drop July 7, as do previously unreleased “Vault” tracks featuring Hayley Williams and Fall Out Boy.

See the full list of new international Eras Tour dates below.

50 photos that show Taylor Swift's meteoric rise from a Nashville country singer to the most famous musician in the world

• Taylor Swift released her 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," on Friday.
• In the 18 years since she released her debut album, Swift has become a billionaire.
• Here's a photographic journey through her career, her many eras, and her blockbuster tours.

In the 18 years since Taylor Swift released her first album, she's been a country star, a pop star, and a voice of a generation.

She's a four-time album of the year winner, a billionaire, and the first person with a tour grossing $1 billion . She also rocked the music industry when she decided to re-record her first five albums so she'd own the rights to her own music.

Plus, her 11th album, " The Tortured Poets Department ," is set for a massive debut on the charts after it was released on Friday.

But she wasn't always this juggernaut. Here's a look at her impressive career, from her 2006 debut to her 2024 superstardom.

Taylor Swift released her self-titled debut album in 2006. At the time, there was no telling that this 16-year-old country singer would become one of the most iconic musicians in history.

But by May 2007, Swift was already playing to large crowds. At the time, her aesthetic consisted of flowy dresses, acoustic guitar, curly hair, and cowboy boots.

Her guitar has been a constant companion from 2007 to 2024.

Swift's debut single was "Tim McGraw," named, of course, after the country star. In May 2007, she performed the song to him and his wife, Faith Hill, at the Academy of Country Music Awards.

An EP, “Beautiful Eyes,” was released in July 2008, just two months after she performed at Stagecoach Music Festival — essentially, country music's Coachella.

Even as her star was rising, Swift made time to take selfies with fans — on digital cameras!

By August 2009, her second album "Fearless" had been released and she was headlining Madison Square Garden.

A turning point in her career came during the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2009, when Kanye West interrupted her acceptance speech to declare Beyoncé deserved the award.

In December, she performed with one of her then-musical idols, John Mayer. The two would go on to briefly date, inspiring her song "Dear John."

At the 2010 Grammys, Swift performed with Stevie Nicks — 14 years later, Swift referenced their connection in the song "Clara Bow."

Later that night, the "You Belong With Me" singer was gobsmacked to win album of the year. She'd later write about this night in "Long Live."

Her third album, "Speak Now," was released in October 2010. The world tour began in February 2011.

It sold over 1 million copies in its first week, the highest single-week sales for a female country artist. She also became the first female artist to have 11 songs on the Hot 100 simultaneously.

She continued to collaborate with musical legends. She brought James Taylor out at her Madison Square Garden show in November 2011.

In 2012, she made her first jump away from country music to more straightforward pop. The cowboy boots were nowhere to be found.

The debut single from her fourth album, "Red," called "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," became her first No. 1 on the Hot 100.

As her musical style changed, so did her style. She traded flowing dresses and cowboy boots for form-fitting dresses and high heels; gone was the curly hair, traded for sleek straight tresses.

The Red Tour grossed $150.2 million, making it the highest-grossing country tour ever when it ended in 2014.

She became the first female solo artist in 20 years to perform a stadium tour in Australia. The last female artist to do it was Madonna in 1993.

In August 2014, she left behind country with the song "Shake It Off," a pure pop song.

Later that year, she performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show beside then-BFF Karlie Kloss.

"1989," Swift's fifth album, remains a high point of her career. It elevated Swift to pop-icon status and spawned three No. 1 hits and two more top-10 singles.

It was also the era of her "squad." People are still captivated by who is in Swift’s inner circle.

To top off the "1989" era, she won her second album of the year Grammy in February 2016.

Her bleached blonde era — known as "Bleachella," since she debuted it at Coachella in 2016 — showed that people were obsessed with her every move.

But by July 2016, Swift had vanished. Her feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had resurfaced, with many on social media turning against her.

In 2017, she cleared her social media and told us: "There will be no explanation, just reputation." Her sixth album, "Reputation," was released in November.

"Reputation" brought a new dark and gritty aesthetic. But the old Taylor, who loves interacting with her fans, was still in there.

The Reputation Stadium Tour was her first all-stadium tour. Upon its completion in November 2018, it grossed $345.7 million, making it the highest-grossing North American tour ever.

In a savvy move, she reclaimed the snake imagery that had been used against her by critics.

But after her two years of all-black edginess, 2019 brought a complete aesthetic shift.

Her seventh album, "Lover," which was released in August 2019, is full of love songs, pastel rainbows, and bubblegum pop.

"Lover" was her sixth consecutive No. 1 album and the best-selling album of 2019. Her concerts for the album were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In July 2020, Swift surprised fans with her eighth album, "Folklore." It would go on to win album of the year — she was the first woman ever to win three times.

After a seven-year hiatus, she returned to her country roots. She performed the song "Betty" at the 2020 Academy of Country Music Awards.

In November 2021, Swift released the 10-minute version of her song "All Too Well" from 2012. She also directed an accompanying short film starring Dylan O'Brien and Sadie Sink.

"Red (Taylor’s Version)," her re-recorded version of the 2012 album "Red" was a huge hit. "All Too Well (10-Minute Version)" became the longest No. 1 song in the chart's history.

But just re-recording wasn't enough for Swift. In August 2022, she announced her 10th album, "Midnights," which became yet another hit.

The year 2023 was the year of Swift, as she embarked on her globe-spanning Eras Tour. The setlist pays homage to her career. She brought out the gold fringe for the "Fearless" set.

Since "Lover" never got a tour of its own, it kicks off the show. Four years after its release, Swifties got "Cruel Summer" to the top of the Hot 100.

During her "Speak Now" set, she brings back her koi-fish guitar and the purple dresses.

During the "Red" set, she interacts with some of her youngest fans.

In the "1989" portion, we get taken back in time to when Swift loved a two-piece set.

The "Reputation" era might be long gone, but the snakes are back for this portion of the show.

She also pays homage to the woodsy, cottage-core vibes of "Folklore" and its sister album, "Evermore."

Swift ends the night with the "Midnights" set, which spawned two of her two most recent hits, "Karma" and "Anti-Hero."

The Eras Tour has become a global phenomenon. It's the first tour to ever surpass $1 billion in revenue ... and it's not over yet.

In February 2024, Swift became the first artist to win album of the year four times when she won for "Midnights." That night, she announced her 11th album, "The Tortured Poets Department."

On its release, Swift surprised fans by announcing "TTPD" is a double album, and she dropped 15 more songs. It's set to be, once again, huge.

In 18 years, Swift has released 11 albums, four re-records, won 14 Grammys, had 11 No. 1 hits, become a billionaire, and broken countless records. She's showing no sign of slowing down.

Taylor Swift writes of being ‘shattered’ during Eras Tour

Taylor Swift writes of being “shattered” during her Eras Tour in one of the songs on her latest headline-making album.

Pop megastar announces huge Aussie tour

Star’s empty concert blamed on music rival

US superstar cancels Aussie tour

It wasn’t the stuff of her wildest dreams.

On Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department , which dropped Friday , the pop star, 34, seemingly admits that she was more emotionally wounded from her break-up with British actor Joe Alwyn than it seemed at the time.

In her song I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, the 13th track on the album, Swift says that she was only pretending to be happy following their split, which hit headlines just days after she started her Eras Tour last year.

Lyrics supposedly about the Conversations With Friends star include: “Cause I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my s**t / They said, ‘Baby, gotta fake it till you make it,’ and I did / Lights, camera, bitch, smile, even when you wanna die / He said he’d love me all his life.”

Swift, who has since moved on to NFL player Travis Kelce, 34, also says in the song that she was “shattered” while crowds chanted “more” from her.

Swift dated Alwyn, 33, for six years, from 2016 to 2023.

Their relationship was more low-key and private than her relationship with past famous exes, such as Tom Hiddleston, 43.

Neither Alwyn nor Swift has publicly spoken much about the other, but this song appears to offer a peek behind the curtains.

And the view it gives is a sharp contrast to a statement that Swift made in May last year. During an Eras tour stop in Massachusetts, she told the crowd, “I’ve just never been this happy in my life — in all aspects of my life — ever before. And I just want to thank you for being a part of that. I don’t know. It’s not just the tour. My life finally feels like it makes sense.”

This isn’t the only track where Swift talks about Alwyn.

Another song called So Long, London is a goodbye to the city where the pop star once lived with the actor.

To demonstrate how deep those Swift Easter eggs can be hidden, that track is 9 minutes and 28 seconds — which happens to mirror when the exes are rumoured to have started dating in 2016: September 28.

Alwyn is also rumoured to figure into the album title, which may be a snarky spin on the name of a group chat, the Tortured Man Club, that he had with actors Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott.

Alwyn and Mescal, 28, opened up about their group chat during a 2022 interview with Variety . It was founded by Scott, 47.

“[Scott is] just on it every day. He’s just on it by himself,” Mescal told the outlet, with Alwyn joking that the Fleabag actor is “just messaging himself good mornings.”

More Coverage

In an interview with GQ UK, Alwyn added that the chat name was “a reflection on Connell and Nick.” Alwyn played the character Nick on Conversations With Friends, while Mescal played Connell on Normal People . Both TV series were adaptations from books written by Irish author Sally Rooney.

Further lyrics by Swift say, “I was grinning like I’m winning, I was hitting my marks, cause I can do it with a broken heart / I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday every day. I’m so obsessed with him but he avoids me like the plague / I cry a lot but I am so productive, it’s an art.”

Cancer-stricken girl, 9, dies two months after receiving ‘22 hat’ from Taylor Swift at Eras Tour

A nine-year-old girl whose dream came true after meeting her idol, American pop superstar Taylor Swift, at a concert two months ago has died.

Scarlett Oliver, who was battling high-grade glioma – an aggressive type of brain cancer – captured hearts worldwide when she received the coveted “22 hat” and a hug from Swift at the Eras Tour concert in Sydney, Australia, in late February.

Since kicking off the tour in Glendale, the United States, in 2023, the 34-year-old singer has made a tradition of bestowing her black fedora – dubbed the “22 hat” – on stage to a lucky fan while performing the song 22.

Scarlett’s father Paul announced his daughter’s death online just days before her 10th birthday on May 7. Her condition had worsened over the past month.

Scarlett’s stepmother Natalie Oliver confirmed the news on social media on April 28, sharing a message from Paul.

“My Angel, so strong, so brave, so beautiful. Nothing will ever be the same again,” said the post. “Don’t forget me and please find a way to let me know you are okay. Goodnight baby, I love you – Dad. It’s just not fair.”

Scarlett’s special moment with Swift went viral on social media after the girl attended the singer’s opening Sydney concert held at Accor Stadium on Feb 23.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Natalie Oliver (@natoliver22)

Natalie had previously posted a request on social media seeking to fulfil the wish of the young Swiftie, who was given a prognosis of 12 to 18 months from diagnosis.

“Scarlett was granted a ‘Wish’ from the Make-A-Wish Foundation and her wish was to meet Taylor Swift,” Natalie wrote then. “Unfortunately, they told us this wasn’t possible, so through the power of social media and some generous people... We made attending the concert happen and got tickets.”

She then shared a photo of Scarlett holding a poster with the words: “Taylor, can I have the 22 hat please?”

Swift, who held six shows at Singapore’s National Stadium between March 2 and 9, will resume her Eras Tour on May 9 in Paris, France.

In addition, her latest and 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD), has been setting new records across the world. It sold 2.61 million album and streaming units during its first week of release in the US, Billboard reported on April 28.

TTPD also scored the largest streaming week for an album and the largest sales week for an album on vinyl in the modern era, Billboard added. It is also the top-selling album so far in 2024 and was Swift’s 14th chart-topping album, tying with American rap star Jay-Z for the most No. 1s among soloists.

Swift also topped the British music charts on April 26, outselling the rest of the top 10 combined and beating English rock band The Beatles for the record of fastest artiste to rack up 12 British No. 1 albums.

Australian police investigating Taylor Swift's dad for alleged assault

Sydney, Australia - Australian police said they were investigating a 71-year-old man for the alleged assault of a photographer in Sydney in the early hours of Tuesday. The accuser identified the man as Taylor Swift's father.

"Police have been told a 71-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 51-year-old man at Neutral Bay Wharf about 2:30 am (1530 GMT Monday), before leaving the location," police spokeswoman Alicia McCumstie told AFP.

"The younger man reported the incident and inquiries are now under way by officers attached to North Shore Police Area Command."

The alleged victim, Ben McDonald, told AFP the man was Swift's dad, Scott Swift.

McDonald said he had been photographing the US pop icon on a "super yacht" in Sydney Harbour after the last of her four gigs in the city.

McDonald alleges Swift's security put an umbrella in his face to prevent him from taking photographs of Taylor Swift, who was walking down the jetty to a waiting vehicle.

After Swift departed, McDonald claimed a man confronted him and "he punched me in the chops".

"I didn't know who he was, but I looked at photos and saw him holding hands with Taylor, and it was her dad."

"It was a shock. That's never happened to me in 26 years," he said.

Australian police do not usually publicly identify people accused or alleging crimes.

Taylor Swift is currently in the midst of her worldwide blockbuster Eras Tour.

She heads to Singapore this week for the next leg of what is expected to be the highest-grossing musical tour of all time at over $1 billion, according to Pollstar.

Cheapest destinations to see Taylor Swift concerts from 'Eras Tour' abroad

Are you a Florida Swiftie with “Eras Tour” FOMO?

It’s definitely too late to find a ticket to Taylor Swift’s October concerts in Miami for less than $2,000. 

But you can see an “Eras Tour” show in Warsaw, Poland, on Aug. 1, 2024, for about $500 cheaper than the cheapest concert ticket for a Miami show in October (including a roundtrip plane ticket to Poland, from Miami ).

Travel website Islands.com just released a study on the cheapest overseas destinations for seeing Miss Americana on the European leg of her tour. 

To calculate the cheapest overseas shows on Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” this summer, Islands.com aggregated data on each city to find the average most affordable concert tickets, the average cost for two days of spending on hotel rooms, meals, drinks and transportation in each city and each city's safety score.

Does “The Eras Tour” come to Europe?

Yes! After a wildly successful first run of “The Eras Tour” in the U.S. in 2023, Taylor Swift extended her tour to an international one and will start performing in Europe this summer before returning for more U.S. shows in the fall.

Here’s Islands.com’s list of the Top 10 cheapest places to see Taylor Swift in Europe this summer, including two days’ worth of hotel, food, drink and transportation costs for each city:
