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.

Taylor Swift Taps Paramore for European Eras Tour Run

Taylor Swift knows we need more — so she’s giving us just that. The singer has added 14 more shows to the European/U.K. leg of her Eras Tour , and announced that Paramore will provide support throughout the trek.

“Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour,” Swift wrote on Twitter Wednesday, July 5. “And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore !! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???”

Last month, Swift added dozens of shows to her Taylor Swift: The Eras stadium tour — bringing the total count of shows to a whooping 104 nights . She also extended her run at Los Angeles’ So-Fi Stadium with a sixth show scheduled for Aug. 7.

The new addition comes after the singer announced shows in Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Europe earlier this week. (See below for the full tour dates.)

“EXCUSE ME HI I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY 🙋‍♀️,” she wrote on Instagram. “I can’t wait to see so many of you on The Eras Tour next year at these new international dates!”

She also added more dates to her already-announced Latin America tour. After wrapping her U.S. dates in Los Angeles on Aug. 9, Swift will head to Mexico City for four straight shows at Foro Sol starting Aug. 24. She’ll then stop in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil in November.

Swift first announced the tour last October after she completely took over the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 with Midnights . The added dates, which follow the addition of eight new shows last week, were slotted in “due to unprecedented demand,” according to the singer’s camp.

“Good Morning America, it’s Taylor,” Swift said during the announcement. “I wanted to tell you something that I’ve been so excited about for a really long time and I’ve been planning for ages, and I finally get to tell you I’m going back on tour. The tour is called the ‘Eras’ tour, and it’s a journey through all of my musical eras of my career.”

Taylor Swift Reveals 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart' Video of Eras Tour BTS

Taylor swift brings out florence welch and jack antonoff, debuts 'so long london' to close out european leg, becky g brings back her casa gomez tour for 'another chapter'.

Across the tour, Swift is being supported in select cities by a combination of special guests including Paramore, beabadoobee, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in red, MUNA, HAIM, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams, and OWENN.

The Eras tour follows the cancelation of her planned 2020 Lover Fest tour, which was originally going to see her make stadium stops in Los Angeles, Boston, and New York, along with Brazil, Denmark, Norway, and Poland. “This is an unprecedented pandemic that has changed everyone’s plans and no one knows what the touring landscape is going to look like in the near future,” she wrote in 2021.

Swift last went the road in 2018 for her massive Reputation Stadium Tour , which saw Swift accompanied by the likes of Charli XCX and Camila Cabello across the United States, the United Kingdom, along with Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. The tour was the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist that year.

Since her last tour, Swift has released four albums and two re-releases: Lover , Folklore , Evermore , Midnights , and Taylor’s Version editions of Fearless and Red with additional songs. In total, she’s dropped 90 tracks of new material, not including collaborations with the likes of Haim and Big Red Machine.

Fans have long wondered what music she’ll be performing on the road, with some theorizing that she’d host a residency in Las Vegas or a music festival where she’d perform different “eras” on different nights.

Along with packing her setlist with songs from Reputation in 2018, she surprised each city with an acoustic rendition of fan favorites like “Red,” “Holy Ground,” and “Wildest Dreams.” At select shows, she also brought out special guests. Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez, Hayley Kiyoko, and Maren Morris were among the artists to be brought out by Swift.

She previously took her 1989 album on the road for 85 dates, where she was accompanied by the likes of Mendes, James Bay, Vance Joy, and Haim. Before then was The Red Tour in 2013 and 2014, and her Speak Now World Tour from 2011 to 2012.

Taylor Swift kicks off her European leg of 'Eras Tour.' Here's the full list of show dates

Taylor Swift has kicked off the European leg of her "Eras Tour" in Paris and Lisbon , but she just shared some exciting news for Swifties planning to attend her shows in London.

On May 27, the singer announced the first group of opening acts for her London shows on her Instagram story .

How to get tickets to international shows on Taylor Swift’s 'Eras Tour'

The “Shake It Off” singer’s fan base infamously crashed Ticketmaster when they overcrowded the system while trying to buy tickets when they went live on Nov. 15, 2022. Since then, the platform has employed a new ticket purchasing process that has kept crashes at bay — so far.

The new purchasing multistep process first requires preregistration in order to be eligible for presales and regular sales. However, presales and registration are closed for all current international tour dates.

Fans who are interested in attending an international show can try purchasing tickets on reseller sites such as StubHub and SeatGeek.

How Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Took Over the Entire World

On the morning that Taylor Swift ’s “ Eras Tour ” is about to begin a three-night stand in Dublin, the older gentleman taking charge of my passport at airport customs has clearly had his fill of Swifties, probably processing them by the hundreds already today. When I reveal myself to be one too — despite being arguably the wrong gender, inarguably old and lacking a telltale “Lover” mascara star over my right eye — his disdain is palpable. Suddenly, I’m getting way more screening questions than anyone not on a watch list should. “What do you like about her?” he sneers, peering up over specs.

The future of fast: a special report on free streaming, 'my late summer' review: a woman resists repeating her mother's romantic mistakes in poignant dramedy, popular on variety.

So it is that I end up chatting with a middle-aged gay man in a sequin-covered shirt whose female companion whispers to me, while he steps away to trade friendship bracelets with a 10-year-old girl and her mum, that Swift’s music just helped him through a difficult breakup. The girl then runs off to trade her homemade bracelets with a pair of high-helmeted Dublin policemen loaded up to their own elbows with friendship swag — unexpected accessories for long arms of the law.

All the stories about American Swifties swarming overseas to catch “The Eras Tour” turn out to be true: You couldn’t swing a neon golf club around here without hitting a Yank. Approximately one out of every five fans I approach is visiting from the States — and the jubilation they’re feeling about the night’s impending concert is compounded by the fact that nearly all of them financed a European vacation and a concert ticket for roughly the same amount they would have paid on a secondary ticketing site for a typical four-figure ticket to one of last year’s predatorily repriced U.S. shows.

Remember the venerable stereotype of the Ugly Americans, brusquely trampling over refined Europeans in their travels? Thanks to Taylor Swift, who has a gift for laying out global welcome mats, this is the summer of the Spangly American.

At the stadium on night one, just down the row from me are a group of millennials from New Jersey, several in glam unitards inspired by the “Lover” or “1989” portions of the career-spanning show and looking like they were costumed by Swift’s own designer, with fake jewel-encrusted microphones to match. I ask how many hours went into perfecting these nearly pro-grade outfits.

“About 80 hours for mine,” says Megan McLaughlin. “Hers probably longer,” she adds, nodding toward one of her sisters, Margo Steinberg. “She knows all the glues and the best gems.” Indeed, confirms Steinberg, “I was working on mine since January. And, yes, I did quit my job to finish it!” She adds, when I ask if she cares to share any secrets to a particularly good look, “You have to use the B-7000 glue.” (A third sister, Amelia McLaughlin, admits she resorted to buying her spangly dress off Etsy — “I was doing a PhD, but I had to match these girls’ enthusiasm” — while a fourth, Carolyn McLaughlin, skipped the glitter and went for a red dress that matches Swift’s from the “I Bet You Think About Me” video.)

Certainly, there is an element of cosplay to many of the fans’ outfits. Some have seen footage of the new segment Swift added to the tour beginning in April 2024 — devoted to her most recent album, the 31-song “Tortured Poets Department” — and have managed to manufacture gowns that look like they’re made of paper and feature lyric excerpts printed on them in script, à la Swift’s custom-made Vivienne Westwood dress. I meet a group of American women who became friends as literature majors in college who have “Tortured Poets”-themed outfits, one duplicating the Westwood dress and the other with handmade printouts of the latest album’s lyrics pinned all over her black dress, as if she were literally pulling pages out of Swift’s playbook.

Combos of middle-aged mothers and their teen or 20-something daughters abound; some of them have seized on Swift’s mentions of her own mother, Andrea, to come up with their T-shirt ideas. On Lansdowne Road, I talk to a mum whose red-on-black shirt says, “Had to listen to all this drama,” accompanied by a daughter bearing the legend, “And here’s to my mama.” (This is a reference to Swift’s song “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.”)

Later, in a stadium Guinness line, I chat up a pair of thirsty locals, the daughter’s shirt reading “I call my mom, she said …,” with the mom’s shirt completing the thought: “It was for the best.” (Damn it, I had to Google to recall that’s from a “1989” Vault track that came out last year.) I ask the daughter if she had to explain to her mom what she was wearing. “She’s 52,” she replies. “I don’t think she knows.”

Age is really no guarantor of not getting it — the popular #SwiftieOver50 hashtag on X proves that. Although outnumbered, plenty of older people are unaccompanied by a minor, or by anyone who has been a minor in the past 20 years. I approach a middle-aged couple, Jean Sebastian Conley and Natasha Gagne, again bidden by their matching shirts — “Who’s Taylor Swift?” and “Who’s Travis Kelce?” They turn out to be French Canadians who found their 206-euro SRO tickets to be a steal compared with the extravagant resale prices they briefly considered back home after being shut out of the initial on-sale. I ask what attracted them to Swift since, unlike so many others here, they didn’t grow up with her.

“I really fell in love with her with the ‘Folklore’ album,” Conley says, referring to her low-key Grammy-winning album recorded during the early months of the pandemic. “I think different audiences and older audiences found her through that and ‘Evermore’ because they were more singer-songwriter, a little bit rougher indie music, and that’s what we like most. So that’s how I got hooked.” For her part, Gagne says, “I like everything she represents. And when she redid all her masters, that’s where I thought she was a lady boss.”

When the dancers put their grins back on, Swift plays an ebullient excerpt of a very recent “Poets” bonus track, “So High School,” which every person in the crowd will know is inspired by Kelce. There are some breakup songs of recent vintage too — yes, Mr. Customs Man! — like “The Smallest Man in the World,” which may or may not have cost Matty Healy, the 1975 frontman and former Swift paramour, a night of sleep.

The whole tour is themed around not just the newer records but the rerecordings that have made every older album in her catalog feel improbably fresh. It was, quite possibly, the single most baller move in the history of the record industry … and led to the career-retrospective concept for what is already unquestionably the biggest tour in the history of popular music.

Any discussion of the charms of fandom isn’t meant to forestall discussion of “The Eras Tour” as big business. The numbers are fuzzy because Swift’s camp does not release grosses from her shows, unlike nearly every other artist at the stadium or arena level. Even when the tour wraps after 20 months on Dec. 8 in Vancouver, it seems likely those numbers will continue to be guarded with a zeal on par with the government of North Korea’s. Many industry experts believe the gross will approach or even surpass $2 billion.

What is known for certain — even without a confirmation from Swift World — is that she broke the all-time tour-gross figure when she hit the $1 billion mark, whenever exactly that might have been. The two trade publications that specialize in the touring industry have slightly differing estimates: Billboard calculated a cumulative gross of approximately $900 million when she took a break at the end of 2023, figuring that she would crack $1 billion shortly into the tour’s resumption in April, while Pollstar estimated that she had passed $1 billion by the conclusion of last year. Any way you guesstimate it, Swift took less than a year to break the previous record of $939.1 million, which Elton John grossed with his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour across nearly three years of shows.

One source close to the production said early in the “Eras Tour” era that her average gross each night is $14 million. Others believe that is a highly conservative estimate, with a possible total that on at least some nights edges closer to $17 million. One remarkable aspect is that this does not include the revenue from any inflated resale tickets — which, as anyone who has tried to get tickets through Vivid Seats or StubHub knows, mostly have gone for several times their face value. It was little publicized, but Swift had “dynamic pricing” turned off for her ticket sales, possibly to avoid the controversies Bruce Springsteen encountered when the face value on some of his tickets leaped to the four-figure range upon their first sale. Swift left money on the table by not participating in the scalping of her own tickets, which had an average price of around $230 and topped out at $499, excepting VIP packages, which zenithed at $899 — all well short of what some other superstars ask nowadays. Of course, neither Argentina nor anyone at Wembley Stadium ahead of Swift’s opening night performance in June will be crying for her when she’s in reach of $2 billion without the resale inflation … not to mention the hundreds of millions of dollars in merch.

Benson Boone, whose “Beautiful Things” is the most-streamed song of 2024 in the U.S. and the world, says he felt dwarfed when performing as the opening act at one of Swift’s seven shows at London’s Wembley Stadium. He has forever committed to memory the exact attendance figure he was given for the night: “89,497,” he says. “Just her stage alone is bigger than anything I’ve ever seen — 300 feet of it!” he says. “I took in every moment. It was cool for me to experience another artist’s world and learn from it. I want to work that hard and be the captain of my ship.”

Although it’s maddening to a media that likes official box office reports and can’t get them, it’s easy to see the wisdom in not flaunting those figures if you’re a superstar artist who counts on being seen as relatable. Swift certainly is proud of breaking records — she posted a tweet when “The Tortured Poets Department” spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 on the album chart, one of only three albums in history to do so. But she’d rather count fan impressions than dollars. By the same token, she doesn’t publicize or confirm acts of generosity that leak out, like the sizable food-bank donations she makes in every city she tours, or the $100,000 bonuses that the tour’s 50 truck drivers reportedly got for Christmas.

An addendum to all this is how the “Eras Tour” film — released last fall, less than halfway through the actual tour — grossed just over $180 million domestically and $261 million globally, beating the records set by Justin Bieber’s concert film in the U.S. and Michael Jackson’s globally. Massive big-screen spoilers only heightened, rather than diminished, resale demand for the shows yet to come on the 152-date tour and helped precipitate the movement among Americans to head overseas, to make up for the supply found sorely lacking at home.

“What my partners and I talk a lot about is how it’s one thing to have a big tour in North America. It’s another thing to have an equally big tour wherever you are in the world and to do doubles and triples in these markets,” says Bernie Cahill, an Activist founding partner and manager of acts including the Grateful Dead and the Lumineers. “It’s an anomaly. It’s not normal. And don’t forget, you’re going into what I call asymmetric venues, which are venues that are not really built for music; these are venues that are built for football games or soccer games and can be very challenging to do music. And they get it right every time — Louis Messina [Swift’s tour promoter since her earliest days] and his team are world-class.” But for all that globe-trotting, he notes, “there are some artists that you see do a show and you know they don’t even know what city they’re in. I always feel like Taylor knows exactly where she is. She has a relationship with that city or that market and those fans and she’s connected to them in ways that are very authentic, that you can’t fake.”

The one big snafu in the rollout of “The Eras Tour” occurred in November 2022 when the Ticketmaster system melted down after too many North American dates went on sale at once, causing thousands of fans to experience long delays. The on-sale broke the all-time record for tickets sold in a single day at 2 million, but it also nearly broke the world’s largest ticketing platform. Swift herself was Teflon in this situation, as the blame fell on a ticketing system not capable of handling so much of the Swift-loving world at once. And although most of the problems people have with Ticketmaster are different from what fans faced in the “Eras Tour” debacle — mainly, hidden fees and monopolistic practices — it could have big legislative consequences anyway. Dean Budnick, co-author of “Ticket Masters: The Rise of the Concert Industry and How the Public Got Scalped,” believes that the Swift hullabaloo was the main catalyst for Congress enacting reform. “There’s no question that perhaps there’s gonna be some meaningful change in ticketing as a result of what people experienced with that on-sale.”

That sense Cahill spoke about of the singer making it clear to an audience she knows exactly where she’s at is in full force in Dublin. Swift introduces the “Folklore”/”Evermore” segment by suggesting that she had a spiritual locale in mind when she started writing that more intimate material, locked in during the first part of the pandemic. “It keeps me up at night all year long: Which era is the most Irish?” she half-jokes to the crowd. “I’m gonna make a case for it being ‘Folklore’ … This album’s imaginary world had a whole aesthetic — like I lived in this cabin in a really green, nature-y, moss-covered landscape. You see where I’m going?… Another thing that I think makes it more Irish than the other eras is, ‘Folklore’ was all about storytelling. And I know you hear this a lot, but you guys are naturally gifted storytellers, right?”

But the basic theatrics and emotional currents remain consistent from show to show. If Swift is surprisingly reticent to make her “Eras Tour” numbers public, that may be, in part, her desire to keep the focus primarily on a personal fan connection. Music industry veterans are taken aback by Swift’s ability to be giant and intimate onstage. “She’s a master marketer of herself — and she is not afraid to be vulnerable to her fans,” says Michele Bernstein, who runs a consultancy that works with stars like Drake. Bernstein could almost be quoting the lyrics of “Mastermind,” where Swift describes herself in almost comically omniscient terms, then dives into a bridge about how no one would play with her as a little girl.

People like my guardian of the customs gate may complain about Swift’s songs centering on her romantic splits, but that subject matter magnifies her own insecurities and weaknesses, expressed in genuinely eccentric wordplay, in ways that keep the audience in thrall to someone they perceive as a humble underdog as well as a veritable cage fighter. She could do a $10 billion tour someday and still keep the crowd enraptured by how she measures up to, or rallies to exceed, the smallest man — or men, or Kardashians — who ever lived.

This plays out in the “Eras” show in all sorts of symbolic ways, like the new segment in the “Tortured Poets” section where she seems to have fainted from the vapors of failed romance. Dancers in tuxedos try to revive her while a swing version of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” plays over the PA. A pair of women dressed as nurses fit her with what looks like a majorette’s uniform — or, with all its off-white stripes, is it really meant to resemble a straitjacket? The resemblance is probably not coincidental. Swift fans know there’s nothing like a mad woman.

The most exhilarating moment that has been added to the show this year has her gliding down the ramp on a platform, appearing to anyone at floor level like she is levitating like the witch she makes herself out to be in “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” Taylor Swift: She was Agatha all along !

Outside Aviva Stadium, two young Londoners have formed their own two-woman straight-gay alliance: One is wearing a shirt with the hand- drawn words “You’re obsessive and crazy,” and the other’s shirt has the phrase “You’re gay,” each with an arrow pointing to the other. This echoes the original lyrics to Swift’s 2006 oldie “Picture to Burn,” which was rerecorded after some were offended by “gay” as a possible teen epithet. “I am obsessive and crazy, and she is gay,” laughs Zoe Gibson, pointing to her friend, India Day. “We want to bring back the original lyrics. We never found them homophobic — we want to reclaim it.” Day adds, “We’ve listened to her since we were 4 years old, so obviously there’s the nostalgia factor. But for me, she speaks on quite a lot of issues like gay rights and feminism, and all of her songs perfectly sum up the experience of being a woman.”

Some of the shirts are apropos for Pride Month. Seeing a boy of no older than 15 or 16 wearing a homemade “But Daddy I Love Him” shirt (the title of a “Tortured Poets” fan favorite), it’s easy to imagine some courage was required to don that apparel. Along the same lines, I spot any number of women making their own statement in shirts with the modified exclamation “But Daddy I Love Her.”

Gay or straight, 6 years old or 60-something, female or just female-allied, the crowd inside gets its sway on early in the show, with the arrival of the gentle, waltz-time “Lover.” It’s not one of the big set-pieces of this nonstop Broadway-style production — the spotlight is just on Swift and her acoustic guitar — but it might be the one where the entire audience feels like it’s at a four-minute campfire. No wicked witchiness here, just winsomeness.

Down on the floor, I’m seeing what amounts to a Taylor Swift mosh pit: gangs of two or three or five young women, ignoring the fact that Swift herself is just yards away from them on the ramp. They’re singing and acting out every last line to each other , as if the superstar isn’t even towering right over them. A waste of their euros? Hardly. Swift will capture their full attention again as the show proceeds, but in the moment, she isn’t just a superstar — she might be the world’s greatest community organizer.

Amid Heightened Security, Taylor Swift Returns to the Stage in London

Fans at Wembley Stadium said they trusted British security officials to keep them safe and cheered loudly when the pop star came onstage.

By Alex Marshall

Reporting from Wembley Stadium in London

When Taylor Swift canceled three concerts in Vienna last week after officials there foiled a terrorist plot , Swifties soon expressed fears about the pop star’s next shows, in London.

Would Swift go ahead with the concerts at Wembley Stadium? Given that the pop star once said her “biggest fear” was a terrorist attack at one of her shows, some fans had doubts. Was it even safe to attend?

When Swift did not comment on the thwarted attack in Vienna or the upcoming London gigs, fan anxieties only grew.

Yet when the singer took the stage on Thursday evening, worry gave way to excitement at the chance to see Swift perform during the European leg of her globe-spanning Eras Tour . As Swift walked onstage singing “It’s been a long time coming” — a refrain from her track “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince” — the sold-out crowd cheered deliriously.

She then launched into “Cruel Summer.”

In the end, despite the interest in the Austrian plot, Swift did not refer to it even obliquely at the London show. Instead, she played an almost identical gig to the others on her Eras Tour, a joyous three-hour-plus spectacle featuring hits, costume changes and, at one point, a fake moss-covered wood cabin. For most of the concert, the 90,000 fans sang along to every word, including when she was joined by Ed Sheeran for an acoustic medley.

In interviews before the show, more than a dozen fans, including many from the United States, all said they felt safe attending the event. Kyle Foster — wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey like Swift’s partner, Travis Kelce — said he had flown from North Carolina with his partner and two daughters for the show.

“We didn’t think twice about coming,” said Foster, 46, adding that he felt confident security would “be on high alert.”

Maya Arbad, 18, who had traveled from Dubai, said two friends had decided not to attend the concert because of the foiled attack. “Their families were just too anxious to send them here,” Arbad said.

That had made her question the trip, too, Arbad added, “but my dad said, ‘Let’s just do it. We’ve been waiting too long.’”

Wembley already had strict security measures , including a ban on bringing large bags into the stadium. After the cancellations in Vienna last week, the venue also forbade ticketless Swifties from gathering outside the arena, as they have done at other stops on the Eras Tour, to soak up the atmosphere and exchange friendship bracelets.

Austrian police said the main suspect in Vienna was a 19-year-old man who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State after being radicalized online. Officers had found chemicals that could be used to make bombs, as well as machetes and knives, in the man’s home, a senior security official said last week.

The plan was reminiscent of other recent atrocities at European concert venues, including a 2015 attack at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris , where more than 90 people died, and a 2017 suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert , in Manchester, England, that killed 22 people. This year, gunmen attacked a Moscow rock show , killing more than 140 concertgoers.

In recent days, British police and politicians played down the threat of a similar event happening at Wembley. A spokesman for the London police said there was “nothing to indicate that the matters being investigated by the Austrian authorities will have an impact on upcoming events here.”

Several security experts said in interviews that large British theaters and arenas had greatly improved their security since the bombing at the Grande concert.

A government-commissioned inquiry revealed numerous security lapses that led to the attack at Manchester Arena. The bomber, Salman Abedi, who had scoped the venue beforehand, spent over an hour hiding in a security camera blind spot. A member of the public also told a steward about a suspicious man with a bag lurking in a foyer, but guards brushed it off.

Reg Walker, the director of I.S.G. Security, which works at many of Britain’s largest entertainment venues, said that British security teams used to focus on managing the lines of people entering concerts. Now, operations extend to surveillance inside the venue, as well as at train stations and parking lots, both before and after shows.

On Thursday, the visible security measures were similar to those at any other major pop concert. A handful of police officers watched over the pedestrian promenades around the stadium while dozens of security staff patrolled the gathering crowd.

Although bags were banned in the arena, they were allowed in the stadium’s merchandise store — after a thorough search. Fans could purchase Eras-themed T-shirts and sweatshirts and even a Swift water bottle, although signs at the cashiers warned, “Water bottles are unable to be taken into the stadium.”

Even with the extra security measures, terrorism seemed to be the last thing on the minds of the 90,000 Swifties in Wembley. They sang and danced along to their idol’s every word, some hugging nearby strangers as if they could not believe they finally had a chance to see her.

If you are wondering where she's playing, if there will be changes and how to score tickets, here's everything we know.

And if you're new to the Eras Tour party, you can get caught up on the first 83 shows here .

When does the Eras Tour start again?

Swift kicks off the European leg of her tour on Thursday, May 9, in Paris. She will perform Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, as well, in the City of Light.

What are Taylor Swift's tour dates in Europe?

There are 69 shows left in the Eras Tour: 51 in Europe, nine in America and nine in Canada.

The European leg stretches from May all the way through a five-night stand at Wembley Stadium in London in mid-August.

See a complete list of international dates here .

After she wraps up in Europe, Swift will stop in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis before wrapping up in Canada.

See the remaining U.S. dates here .

What is the Eras Tour set list?

The Eras Tour has featured a massive 45-song set list you can check out here . But speculation is swirling it won't look the same when Swift takes the stage in Paris.

Will Taylor Swift add 'The Tortured Poets Department' to her set list?

The tortured poet has been on hiatus keeping her stamina up by releasing a double album of 31 tracks. The 2-hours-and-2-minutes project broke a number of Billboard records as the superstar did zero press to promote it. Fans flocked to stores and streaming services to listen to all the songs from "Fortnight" to "The Manuscript."

Although the singer has not confirmed whether her 11th era album will be added to her Eras Tour set list, she did post a YouTube shorts video with two scenes that sent Easter egg decoders into a frenzy. In one of the shots, the singer is next to a railing where a "TTPD" logo appears to be (at 0:11). In the succeeding shot, her back-up dancers perform holding canes and wearing top hats, something they have not worn previously.

Swift's dancers and bandmates posted to their Instagram stories as they left for France last week. The singer did not appear at two media events with her boyfriend Travis Kelce: the Kentucky Derby and a Formula 1 race in Miami , Florida. Patrick Mahomes, Kelce's friend and Kansas City's quarterback, attended the car racing spectacular with his wife, Brittany.

Can I still get Eras Tour tickets?

Swift's show is completely sold out in Europe and North America. There are resale sites with tickets, but be wary of scams. The best way to avoid getting swindled is continuously checking links on Swift's website . There are some for resale on the sites verified by her camp.

Singapore was a hotbed for fans who traveled thousands of miles only to get turned away at the venue. In Tokyo and Australia, last-minute ticket drops happened a few days — without announcement — ahead of the shows.

Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis — the three U.S. cities Swift is visiting in the fall — have some of the heftiest price tags with Canada closely behind. In may be cheaper to travel to Warsaw, Poland, or Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Here's a list of cities with the cheapest resale tickets, according to travel website  Islands.com .

10. Vienna, Austria — total average cost: $1,089, safety score: 69.72

9. Cardiff, U.K. — total average cost: $1,061, safety score: 61.83

8. Lyon, France — total average cost: $1,047, safety score: 44.3

7. Lisbon, Portugal — total average cost: $1,028, safety score: 70.15

6. Munich, Germany — total average cost: $1,000, safety score: 78.88

5. Paris, France — total average cost: $971, safety score: 41.83

4. Stockholm, Sweden — total average cost: $935, safety score: 53.86

3. Hamburg, Germany — total average cost: $903, safety score: 57.51

2. Gelsenkirchen, Germany — total average cost: $749, safety score: 51.33

1. Warsaw, Poland — total average cost: $712, safety score: 72.98

Who are the opening acts?

Paramore launched the Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023, so it's fitting the American rock band is opening the tour's second year. The act will open for Swift for 51 shows across Europe . The band was dubbed the 2024 Record Store Day global ambassador and surprised fans in Nashville the weekend following the release of "The Tortured Poets Department."

When the tour comes back to North America in October , Swift's opening act will be Gracie Abrams.

Where can I watch if I don't have tickets?

The Eras Tour is one of the first tours that has been followed, globally, by thousands of fans on digital platforms. Fans dedicate part of their concert experience to livestreaming as Swift performs. A few Swifties have learned how to host their own shows over social media including Tess Bohne , known as the livestream queen. Bohne goes live for (almost) every show pulling streams from Instagram and TikTok. When a livestream goes down, she fills the time with banter.

On YouTube, user @TaylorSwiftHockeyBro also livestreams the three-hour show, and on Twitch, @folkleric , is a host fans follow.

There is also an app, Swift Alert , that notifies fans who only want to watch certain eras like the acoustic, surprise set. The app sends out push alerts if there are any major announcements.

What secret songs are left?

For the past 83 shows, Swift has played an acoustic set she customizes at each stop with a guitar and piano performance. In 2024, the Eras Tour star added mashups of her songs for each stop. Here are the songs she has yet to perform:

• "Taylor Swift" (debut album): "Mary's Song" and "A Perfectly Good Heart"
• "Fearless": "The Way I Loved You," "Change," "Superstar," "We Were Happy," "That's When," "Don't You" and "Bye Bye Baby"
• "Red": "Girl At Home," "Ronan," "Forever Winter" and "Run"
• "1989": "Sweeter Than Fiction"
• "Reputation": "I Did Something Bad"
• "Lover": "London Boy," "Soon You'll Get Better" and "It's Nice to Have a Friend"
• "Folklore": "Hoax"
• "Evermore": "Happiness" and "Closure"
• "Midnights": "Paris" and "Glitch"
• "The Tortured Poets Department": all 31 tracks

Will Taylor Swift perform in 2025?

There have been many rumors that Swift will continue her show in 2025, but they are only rumors. Nothing has been announced for next year, and as of now, the tour will end in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Dec. 8.

Taylor hit the road with a set list of all of her albums earlier this year, after re-releasing much of her back catalogue in 2022.

The current show is around three hours long as Tay fully delves back into all her eras for the iconic concert, from 'Fearless' to 'Midnights' which she dropped at the end of last year.

Seismologists across Europe recorded Swifties making the ground shake. Taylor Swift concludes her Eras tour: Here are 5 things you should know

Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour wraps up its European leg in London on Tuesday, after the American megastar wowed hundreds of thousands of fans across a dozen countries.

“I wish I could have toured Europe more. This is a dream crowd,” the 34-year-old singer told fans at Paris’s La Defense Arena, where she kicked off the run of shows in May.

Four months later, here are five takeaways from Swift’s time in Europe, as she goes out in “Style” in front of a 90,000-strong crowd at the British capital’s Wembley Stadium.

‘Swiftonomics’

From “Swiftflation” to economic boosts, European cities saw hotel prices soar as fans descended from around the world.

Heeding Swift’s song lyric “grab your passport and my hand”, 120,000 Swifties travelled from 130 countries to Stockholm in May, where they were expected to spend half a billion Swedish kronor ($46 million), according to the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.

Hotel rooms also saw a price spike of “approximately 295 percent”, the chamber’s chief economist Carl Bergkvist told AFP, with some economists fearing the Swift craze could send Swedish consumer prices rising again.

Two concerts in Madrid are estimated to have injected 25 million euros ($27.6 million) into the Spanish capital’s economy.

And the tour was forecasted to boost the UK economy by almost £1 billion ($1.3 billion), Barclays bank said in a study titled “Swiftonomics”.

‘Shake it off’

Seismologists across the continent recorded Swifties literally making the ground shake.

In Lisbon in May, concerts triggered seismic activity detected up to six kilometres (four miles) from the stadium. The strongest activity was recorded appropriately during the song “Shake it off”, reaching a magnitude of 0.82 on the Richter scale.

In Edinburgh, the British Geological Survey revealed fan favourites “Ready for It?”, “Cruel Summer” and “Champagne Problems” resulted in the “most significant seismic activity”.

During “Ready for It?”, the crowd in the Scottish capital transmitted approximately 80 kilowatts of power — equivalent to some 6,000 car batteries, the geologists said.

Foiled attack

The last month of the Europe tour was marred by a foiled suicide attack plot, with Austrian authorities revealing that an Islamic State-sympathiser was planning a deadly attack at a Swift concert in Vienna.

Three suspects were detained and all three August concert dates in Vienna were cancelled following an investigation conducted with the help of US intelligence.

Disappointed Swifties tried to lift their spirits by gathering at Vienna’s Corneliusgasse — dear to Swift’s fans for its resemblance to her hit “Cornelia Street” — to chant the pop star’s songs and exchange bracelets with each other, an Eras Tour tradition among fans.

Knife tragedy

Tragedy struck when three girls were killed in a stabbing in the northwest English town of Southport at a dance class themed around Swift on July 29.

“The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock,” Swift wrote in an Instagram post, ahead of a concert in Warsaw, Poland.

Swift met two survivors of the attack during her August shows in London, with a mother posting pictures on TikTok of the girls backstage with Swift after a concert, Rolling Stone magazine reported.

Her fans raised nearly £400,000 for the victims under the banner “Swifties for Southport”.

‘Tay-gating’

Ticketless fans dressed up and exchanged bracelets as they listened to concerts from outside stadiums in a practice known as “Tay-gating”.

In Madrid, Swift noted around 50,000 “people came out and listened to the show” from a nearby hillside on both nights, “participating in the show from afar”.

Officials in London and Amsterdam warned fans not to gather outside venues though, citing disruption to local residents.

Taylor Swift has announced the European run of dates for her Eras tour next summer, including a four-night stint at London’s Wembley Stadium.

The singer announced the dates as she unveiled wider international shows, with the European leg commencing at Paris’ La Defense Arena on May 9 next year.

While dates across the continent are on the cards throughout the summer, she’ll kick off the UK leg with a date at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium on June 7 and 8, before heading to Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium for two shows on June 14 and 15.

Further shows follow at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on June 18, before four dates at Wembley Stadium on June 21 and 22 and, at the end of the tour, two concluding dates on August 17 and 18.

Registration for tickets is now open. Fans can register on each city’s official ticket registration page here  up until Thursday 22nd June at 11:59pm (local time) in the UK, and on Friday 23rd June at 11:59pm (local time) in Ireland and Europe.

Curiously there is also a hole in her schedule that could potentially accommodate a headline slot at Glastonbury next year. Swift was due to headline in 2020, but was forced to cancel when the Covid pandemic prompted the festival’s cancellation.

Five things to know as Taylor Swift's European tour ends

T aylor Swift's "Eras" tour wraps up its European leg in London on Tuesday, after the American megastar wowed hundreds of thousands of fans across a dozen countries.

"I wish I could have toured Europe more. This is a dream crowd," the 34-year-old singer told fans at Paris's La Defense Arena, where she kicked off the run of shows in May.

Four months later, here are five takeaways from Swift's time in Europe, as she goes out in "Style" in front of a 90,000-strong crowd at the British capital's Wembley Stadium.

Five things to know as Taylor Swift's European tour ends

Entertainment music.

Here are the key take-aways from the pop idols tour across Europe

Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour wrapped up its European leg in London earlier this week after the American megastar wowed hundreds of thousands of fans across a dozen countries.

"I wish I could have toured Europe more. This is a dream crowd," the 34-year-old singer told fans at Paris's La Defense Arena, where she kicked off the run of shows in May.

Four months later, here are five takeaways from Swift's time in Europe, as she goes out in "Style" in front of a 90,000-strong crowd at the British capital's Wembley Stadium.

Swiftonomics:

From "Swiftflation" to economic boosts, European cities saw hotel prices soar as fans descended from around the world.

Heeding Swift's song lyric "grab your passport and my hand", 120,000 Swifties travelled from 130 countries to Stockholm in May, where they were expected to spend half a billion Swedish kronor ($46 million), according to the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.

Two concerts in Madrid are estimated to have injected 25 million euros ($27.6 million) into the Spanish capital's economy.

And the tour was forecasted to boost the UK economy by almost #1 billion ($1.3 billion), Barclays bank said in a study titled "Swiftonomics".

Shake it off:

Seismologists across the continent recorded Swifties literally making the ground shake.

Foiled attack:

The last month of the Europe tour was marred by a foiled suicide attack plot, with Austrian authorities revealing that an Daesh-sympathiser was planning a deadly attack at a Swift concert in Vienna.

Three suspects were detained and all three August concert dates in Vienna were cancelled following an investigation conducted with the help of US intelligence.

Taylor Swift calls cancellation of Vienna shows ‘devastating’ and explains her silence

• The Associated Press

LONDON (AP) — Two weeks after organizers scrubbed Taylor Swift’s concerts in Vienna amid a foiled terror plot, the singer issued her first statement on the cancellations.

“Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating,” she wrote in a statement posted to Instagram on Wednesday. “The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows.”

She thanked authorities — “thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives,” she wrote — and said she waited to speak until the European leg of her Eras Tour concluded to prioritize safety.

“Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows,” she wrote.

In the wake of the cancellations, Swift’s representatives did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The Associated Press and other news organizations and her social media pages had gone dormant.

“In cases like this one, ‘silence’ is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it’s right to. My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it’s with great relief that I can say we did that,” she added.

Concert organizer Barracuda Music had said it canceled the three-night Vienna run that would have begun Aug. 8 because the arrests made in connection to the conspiracy were too close to showtime. Authorities said a 19-year-old suspect had planned to target spectators outside the Ernst Happel Stadium with knives or homemade explosives, hoping to “kill as many people as possible.” Austrian officials said they appeared to have been inspired by the Islamic State group and al-Qaida.

That suspect and another 17-year-old were taken into custody on Aug. 6, the day before the shows were announced as canceled. A third suspect, 18, was arrested Aug. 8. The 19-year-old’s lawyer has said the allegations were “overacting at its best,” and contended Austrian authorities were “presenting this exaggeratedly” in order to get new surveillance powers.

Tens of thousands of Swifties from around the world had traveled to Vienna for the shows.

Swift’s Instagram post also commemorated the end of the European leg with a tribute to her five nights at London’s Wembley Stadium , which she said factored into her decision to wait to speak out and ultimately “felt like a beautiful dream sequence.”

“I decided that all of my energy had to go toward helping to protect the nearly half a million people I had coming to see the shows in London,” she wrote the day after her last Wembley concert. “My team and I worked hand in hand with stadium staff and British authorities every day in pursuit of that goal.”

The shows in London, the next stop scheduled after Vienna, also came on the heels of a stabbing at a Swift-themed dance class that left three little girls dead in the U.K. In a statement issued after the Southport attack, Swift said she was “just completely in shock” and “at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.” News outlets reported that Swift met with some of the survivors backstage in London.

The record-smashing tour is on hiatus until October, when it resumes in Miami.

Taylor Swift is arguably the most multi-genre and prolific modern American singer-songwriter. With a discography that spans country, pop, indie, dance, and other categories, she has proven that an up-and-coming female songwriter can put out original music without always conforming to the wants of the industry.

Born December 13, 1989, Taylor Alison Swift is the daughter of a stockbroker and a mutual fund marketing executive. Named after James Taylor, Swift has some musical heritage in her blood as the granddaughter of an opera singer. At age nine, she took an interest in musical theater, frequently traveling from Pennsylvania to New York City to receive acting and singing lessons.

Inspired by Shania Twain and Faith Hill, Swift soon got into country music. She was just 11 when she convinced her mother to take her to Nashville, where they submitted demo tapes of her singing covers of songs by The Chicks and Dolly Parton. After being rejected, Swift figured out that it was because everyone else in Nashville was trying to do the same thing. If she were going to succeed, she needed to do something different.

Swift learned to play guitar and write songs at age 12, and by 2003, she had a talent agent named Dan Dymtrow. He helped her pursue opportunities like modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch, performing at an RCA Records showcase, and meeting record labels. Her family relocated to Nashville when she was 14 to again help her gain a foothold in the music industry.

Soon Swift was opening for Rascal Flatts and recording her self-titled debut album. When the album dropped on October 24, 2006, it peaked at number five on the US Billboard 200 and spent a record-breaking 157 weeks on the chart. At age 16, she was the first platinum female country music artist to either write or co-write every song on her album.

Both of her subsequent albums, 2008’s Fearless and 2010’s Speak Now, made new forays into country pop. Two singles from Fearless even became the first-ever country songs to reach number one on pop airplay charts. This period saw some of Swift’s most memorable early moments: winning Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Awards, multiple American Music Awards, co-writes with John Mayer and Boys Like Girls, and countless other awards.

2012’s Red saw Swift explore electronic and rock genres, particularly with her number-one single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” It was the 2014 release of 1989 that fully threw off the idea that Swift was just a country artist. 1989 topped numerous charts with singles like “Bad Blood,” “Shake It Off,” and “Blank Space.” 2017’s Reputation brought in more urban elements, while 2019’s Lover put her back in the charts yet again with singles like “Me!” and “You Need to Calm Down.”

Before her next albums came out, Swift made music industry history by going public with a dispute with her record label over ownership of her master recordings. Swift made it known that she was trying to buy the rights to her own songs, but her previous record label would only sell them if she gave them a new album in return.

Swift refused, opting to re-record her entire back catalog instead. This not only served as an act of rebellion, but also taught millions of listeners around the world about the restrictive nature of many record label contracts. Swift began to release new versions of her original albums, including Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Swift released two surprise albums, Folklore and Evermore. These albums ventured into indie rock and featured collaborations with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and Aaron Dessner of The National. These emotional and gorgeously-produced songs topped the US Hot 100 chart and brought Swift’s appeal to a whole new swath of the music-listening world.

2022 saw the release of Swift’s tenth studio album, Midnights. It was preceded by a single “Anti-Hero” which obliterated a number of other streaming records.

To date, Swift sold over 200 million records worldwide, making her among the best-selling artists in history. With 11 Grammys, an Emmy, 40 American Music Awards, and numerous others under her belt, there’s no telling what Taylor Swift will do next.

Live reviews

When Taylor Swift first announced a tour, I was thrilled. For years I'd begged my boyfriend to take me to see Taylor, but we were always too busy. However, as I am from England and we were unable to find tickets for the UK, I knew I probably wouldn't be able to go. My boyfriend then purchased tickets and surprised me on my birthday, telling me we were going to Tampa to see Taylor. I was so excited.

Walking into the stadium, the crowd were given complimentary bracelets that were used to increase the mood during the concert. The concert began with so much enthusiasm from Shawn Mendes, who definitely helped to get the crowd going, singing his earlier hit 'Stitches', as well as covers like 'thinking out loud'. He set the scene for a perfect night. The mood continued throughout Vance Joy, although many of the teenage girls giving Shawn support did not enjoy Vance as much. There was a lot of build up surrounding Taylor's entrance, but it was well put together, giving the crowd an insight into the evening. The bracelets mentioned earlier all lit up; the entire seating area was a sea of light. It looked absolutely enchanting.

She entered to one of the most popular songs on her album ' Welcome To New York'. After finishing the song, the crowd went so mental, that we were all screaming and clapping for five minutes. She stood there, feeding off the positive energy, taking in the crowd. The amazing vocals and music continued throughout the entire night. I have seen many concerts in my time, but Taylor is by far one of the best- not only vocally, but performance wise as well.

Her first special guest (although I cannot remember her name) was very good with the crowd, even though she was fairly new in the music world. I have to say, when Idina Menzel came out the whole crowd were partying, screaming to let it go at the top of our lungs and just having a good time.

The only let down to entire evening was the sound system, as there was about a 10 second delay for, either side. This meant that we would hear everything twice, but also there would be two noises at once. It slightly killed the vibe, though you didn't notice it much once you were singing along. I would definitely recommend seeing Taylor and who knows? Maybe she'll surprise you.

Report as inappropriate

reputation Stadium tour Seattle, 9/10. It all started when Charli XCX started singing. She was pretty good. But she probably shouted “SEATTLE!” 10 times. But the reason why I gave the whole thing a 9/10 was because Camila was not there. She had dehydration. And Taylor didn’t make up for it. Then it was TAY TAY! She came on stage with a “bad girl effect.” Singing Ready for it, I did something bad, and Gorgeous. Then it was a mashup of Style, Love Story, and You Belong With me. Then she sang look what you made me do. A HUMONGOUS SNAKE. Came out. It was so cool! Then with a gold jacket/background came End Game and King Of My Heart. Then she flew to the B-Stage while singing delicate. When she got to the B-Stage, we were SOOO close!!! She sang Shake it off with Charli. And then she got a guitar. And I freaked out. She sang Dancing with our hands tied and the mystery song. The mystery song ended up being “Holy Ground”. Then she went to the OTHER B-Stage and sang Dress and Blank Space. Then she flew on a snake cage to the main stage while singing bad blood. Then she sang SHOULDVE SAID NO. FROM 2006! I was freaking out. Then she came out and showed everyone her vocal range with Don’t Blame Me. Then she went to the piano and sang Long Live and New Years Day together. Then came purple jacketed GetaWay Car. Then there was a fountain and a mansion background and she sang Call It What You Want. Then came the last song. We are never ever getting back together/This is why we can’t have nice things. She got soaking wet in the fountain. And there were FIREWORKS!!!! It was truly amazing. Recommend it so much.

Quality show. Taylor Swift puts on a quality show, she engages with her audience and seems to create a closeness that is hard to believe when you are one of 60,000 people in the audience. She gave everyone in the audience a bracelet, because we can see her but she wants to see us, so she gave everyone a bracelet that lights up. She can see all these pinpricks of light, and know it's a fan. I was very impressed.

She introduced her band, back up dangers, and singers, she had a large main stage and then two mini stages. She went from the main stage to the little stages. She brought two special guests, including Selena Gomez.

She performed all her singles, and those backup singers really cushioned her relatively thin voice, but still I was impressed. It was a super fun show, and she works with quality people who helped her put on a fabulous show.

Definitely would recommend, because Taylor is a great performer.

The Taylor Swift concert on July 19. Th was just life changing. It was the greatest performance I have ever seen by her and by anyone that I have gone to see. One thing I enjoyed about the concert is she connected with everyone and spoke to them, not just sang a couple songs and left. Also the way she captured the feel of every song and how they were all so different but connected somehow, through the show was just mind blowing. Many concerts I have been too did not have an inspiring touch to them, but Taylor really appreciates what everyone does for her and other singers who are just starting their careers. She is truly a very inspiring person, and going to her concert was a milestone in my life journey that I will never ever forget. Getting to meet Taylor Swift would completely make my life amazing and would also make a dream come true.

Taylor you are amazing!!!

I saw Taylor yesterday, Oct. 22, at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX. This was my fourth time seeing her live, and she was amazing as always. Taylor Swift concerts are like no other concert I've been to. She somehow can play to a crowd of 80,00+ people and make it feel like a super intimate moment. She played all of her hits and took time to sing some of her older, less popular songs (Fifteen, Sparks Fly, Holy Ground) for her truest fans. Seeing Sparks Fly live again was particularly special for me because it was the first song I ever heard her play live (on the SNWT), and I hadn't heard it live since. Her concerts are the biggest dance party you'll ever go to, the atmosphere is unbelievable. Her vocals and the band sound incredible live, also. Overall, I would 10/10 recommend going to see Taylor live and hope I get to see her again soon.

Taylor swift made me cry hysterically, she is actually a goddess. Not only is her voice fabulous, but her set and truthfully her dancers do not get enough credit they were so great and so talented just like the lovely leading lady herself. T swizzle sings for us which was the highlight of my life but she would take the time to talk to us, and by us I mean Seattle Washington and I was truly touched and in awe of her personal experiences that she was willing to share with us. We also got to see fetty wap, Shawn mendes, who is a personal favorite of mine, Vance joy, her perfectly cute kittens on the screen, our loved quarterback, Russell Wilson and his leading lady. I completely adore taylor, her friends and loved ones, and her beautiful costumes and attire. I truly wouldn't give that experience up for anything ❤️

I don't know where to start!

I guess it all began at 9am, the day of the concert. This was the time I started lining up at the Eastern Entrance to the entertainment centre. About 11 hours later, my favourite (now turned) pop-star walked out on stage and performed an amazing show filled with songs from 4 different albums! I loved every minute of it.. The dancers were incredibly talented, the set was beautiful, the props, choreography, the costumes, lighting, everything was perfect!

Taylor knows just how to engage an audience and put on an unforgettable experience for people aged 5-50!!!

Not to mention, her supporting act.. Vance Joy, who was a fantastic start to the night!

I would recommended her next tour to almost anyone who wants to have a blast! xx LOVE YOU TAYLOR & VANCE xx

The show was absolutely amazing! Definitely worth every cent. I have been obsessed with Taylor ever since 2010, and this was only my 2nd show, and I was SO CLOSE! It was so admirable that the show went on, even though there was a THUNDER STORM. I loved the fact that she really appreciates us as much as we appreciate her, and I hope she knows that I will be there for her no matter what. There was a REALLY tall person, almost like a basketball player in front of me, which was a bit disappointing because I'm so short, but for some reason, he got replaced just before the show started, and I was so glad #sorrynotsorry I'm pretty sure the security did that. ANZ Stadium you did amazing, sweetie! Love you Taylor, and can't wait to see what you do next! <3 <3

That was the best concert I've ever want to and I've been to a lot! I love Taylor Swift I love all the clothes that she wears her attitude she always looks so pretty on stage. When I was there and when she was entering the stage she gets the crowd going crazy and that's why everybody loves her! I've been to a lot of concerts and this one's the best by far. everybody there you're 15,000 people there but everybody got a bracelet that would flash to the beat of the music it was so cool because in slow songs it would be blue and green and in The faster songs it would be Silver, gold, purple, and many more it was so pretty! She said that we were really good singers so then we sang a song together!

I love her so much and I hope she creates new album.

This concert was AMAZING!!!! Okay, so even though we got rained on and were soaking wet and cold by the concert's half-way point- that aside... I had so so so much fun. Taylor is one of my idols and role models and it was so great to see her live. She is such a performer and not only was the music and atmosphere so contagiously happy, but the actual show and set design and technology that made it all happen was also amazing. From the lights, to the LED screens, to the blow up snakes, it was definitely the highlight of my week, and I would OF COURSE either go see her again or recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you Taylor and crew for an unforgettable night!!!!!!!
