1989 taylor eras tour

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Taylor Swift closed the 2023 U.S. leg of her landmark Eras Tour Wednesday night in Los Angeles in a big way, announcing the fourth edition of her re-recording project: “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”

After playing a few tracks from her “1989” era live, including an abridged take on “Bad Blood,” the pop superstar approached the center of the stage with an acoustic guitar in hand and suggested to the audience that she had been working on something big.

“Instead of just, like, telling you about it, I think I’ll just sort of show you,” she told the crowd as the screen illuminated behind her. “‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ available Oct. 27!” she cheered, pointing out that she was revealing this on the eighth month of the year and the ninth day — a numerical clue.

Then she launched into a surprise performance of the ascendant “1989” track “New Romantics” and the “Reputation”-era piano ballad “New Year’s Day” for the first time during her world tour.

Just last month, Swift released her re-recording of “Speak Now” and soon claimed the record for the woman with the most No. 1 albums in history. The “Taylor’s Version” projects were sparked by music manager Scooter Braun’s purchase and subsequent sale of her early catalog.

Beyond the breaking news, across more than three-and-a-half hours at SoFi Stadium, Swift offered fans a bevy of career-spanning tracks — less a greatest hits collection, and more a live celebration of an artist in her veterancy.

Choreographed easter eggs were frequent. Swift would mimic dance moves from her iconic music videos and crack jokes about her feelings and “women-splaining to men how to apologize to women.”

Openers — and “besties,” as Swift described them — HAIM joined her on stage for the “evermore” cut “no body, no crime.”

Across more than 40 tracks reflecting 17 years of recorded music, it was as if the ground shook with the rapturous sound of 70,000 fans scream-singing along to her hits and deep cuts alike. This was Taylor Swift’s house — filled with fans in light Taylor Swift cosplay (pink dresses for her 2019 album “Lover,” black leather and snakeskin prints for 2017’s “Reputation,” sequins and A-line skirts for 2014’s “1989,” and so on).

Before launching into her “1989” era tracks, Swift performed an emotive single from her “folkore” album, “cardigan.” “When you are young, they assume you know nothing,” she sang, contorting the line in the third verse, “I knew everything when I was young.”

For a performance predicated on returning to the past as well as celebrating the present, it felt like a mission statement. Throughout her career and her many sonic experiments, Swift has been a keen observer of human condition and heartbreak. Even in those early songs about fantasies and fairytales, she demonstrates a kind of pragmatic wisdom. It is why a song she wrote when she was 16 can elicit the same sort of response as one written in her 30s.

And in a summer stacked with superstar tours celebrating giant new releases — like the larger-than-life experiences of Beyoncé's “Renaissance” World Tour and Drake’s 56-date “It Was All a Blur” tour — Taylor Swift’s lookback Eras Tour stands proudly among them.

For fans who desire their beloved artist play the hits — she certainly delivered.

Taylor Swift Wears 5 Blue Outfits Inspired by Her Album '1989' During Final Los Angeles Show on Eras Tour

The 12-time Grammy winner also announced her re-recorded album ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version),' out Oct. 27

Taylor Swift is ready to throw it back to 1989 – and she’s doing it in style! 

On Wednesday, the Grammy winner, 33, performed her sixth Los Angeles Eras Tour show at SoFi Stadium, where she announced her re-recorded album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) . The record will be released on Oct. 27 , nearly a decade after the original came out in 2014. 

During the concert — her last in the U.S. until she returns in 2024 after the international leg of her tour — the Miss Americana star went out with a bang by debuting five blue outfits inspired by the colorways of 1989 , which houses hits like “Welcome to New York,” “Style,” and “Shake It Off.” 

“Here we are on the last night of the U.S. leg of the Eras tour in the eighth month of the year on the ninth day. You might have noticed there are some new outfits in the show,” she said in a speech before officially unveiling the cover art and release date for 1989 (Taylor's Version) . 

Read ahead for all the details on the newest additions to Swift’s tour wardrobe. 

Shaking It Off in Fringe for Her 1989 Set

During her 1989 set, Swift danced in a cobalt blue bandeau top with spaghetti straps and a matching mini skirt. Both pieces were decked out in beaded fringe and metallic diamond-shaped paneling. She completed the get-up with glittery block heel ankle boots.

An Enchanting Blue Gown for Her Speak Now Set

Swift took the stage in a romantic custom Nicole + Felicia ballgown that looked like it could've been pulled right out out of a fairytale.

The icy blue confection featured intricate rays of silver, turquoise and navy sequins and beads going down the criss-cross neckline, bodice and voluminous skirt, which was also speckled with delicate three-dimensional floral appliqués.

The original gold version featured "over 200,000 sequins and crystals," as noted by the couture label on Instagram.

Blue Bohemian Vibes for Her Folklore Set

Swift debuted an ethereal Alberta Ferretti sky blue gown complete with gossamer cape sleeves that were decorated with a lace pattern and small rhinestones.

Swift threw on a teal dress over her sequined two-piece set to not only surprise fans with her new album, but to also perform "New Romantics" and "New Year's Day." The design featured pleated tiers, an asymmetrical hem and off-the-shoulder puff sleeves.

Bejeweled for Her Midnights set

During her last two nights in Los Angeles, Swift wore a custom Zuhair Murad Couture midnight blue beaded bodysuit with cut-out detailing on the bodice and reflective fringe.

She rounded out the ensemble with a Zuhair Murad Couture beaded garter over her fishnet stockings and knee-high boots with rhinestones.

The Eras Tour will pick back up in Mexico City beginning on Aug. 23.

The year in Taylor Swift, from The Eras Tour to 1989 (Taylor's Version) to Travis Kelce

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Highlights from Taylor Swift ’s record-breaking 2023.

Nobody had a year like Taylor Swift did in 2023. In fact, it’s probably fair to say no one has ever had a year like Taylor Swift did in 2023. If you thought she was inescapably famous before, her complete cultural saturation this year proved that there were yet more personal and professional peaks for her to reach. From her tabloid-famous romances to the blockbuster success of her re-recordings to the incredible economic impact of The Eras Tour, there wasn’t a facet of pop culture that Swift’s influence didn’t reach. Click on to look back at her record-breaking, chart-dominating, award-winning 2023. Long may she reign.

January: Breaking records, taking names, and “Lavender Haze”

Taylor Swift’s 2023 started off with a broken record, heralding what was to come for the rest of the year. On January 17, she surpassed her personal best of seven weeks at the top of the Billboard charts (for “Blank Space”) with “ Anti-Hero ,” which spent a total of eight weeks at No. 1 . That same month, she released the self-directed “Lavender Haze” music video co-starring transgender model Laith Ashley. (In the spirit of the nonsensical amount of records Swift would break this year, note that “Lavender Haze” became her 27th top 10 hit on the Adult Pop Airplay Chart, tying Maroon 5 for the most top 10s of any artist in that category.)

March: The Eras Tour begins

The training paid off, because The Eras Tour was an immediate sensation, as expected. Fans came flocking to see the show, and cities and stadiums sparked a new trend of making ostentatious displays to show obsequiousness to visiting royalty: opening tour stop Glendale, Arizona, for instance, changed its name to “Swift City” for the duration of her stay. Meanwhile, Swift had her own way of celebrating the start of tour by releasing four “From The Vault” tracks , which included reuniting long-defunct duo The Civil Wars on “Safe & Sound” and the previously unreleased “All Of The Girls You Loved Before.” To top off all that triumph, she became only the second person in history to have seven albums in the top 40 of the Billboard 200 charts at the same time. (The feat had only previously been accomplished by Whitney Houston in the immediate aftermath of her death.)

Meanwhile, Swifties prepared to take Ticketmaster to court themselves after rallying in the wake of the 2022’s ticket woes. “For me, I don’t care how long this takes, it can take forever if it has to,” plaintiff and fan Joe Akmakjian told The A.V. Club ahead of the hearing. “I just want to make sure that people are not getting away with harming the American consumer just because they want to and they can.”

April: “The Alcott” and the big breakup

While Taylor Swift got up to her typical stealthy antics (sneaking into the Eras Tour in a faux janitor’s cart , secretly filming a music video with her ex-boyfriend, etc.), she also continued a prolific run of releasing new music by collaborating with The National on “The Alcott” from their 2023 album First Two Pages Of Frankenstein. (The National’s Aaron Dessner is the “collaborator version of a soulmate” for Swift, as she put it when he performed with her during an Eras Tour stop.) Meanwhile, The Eras Tour continued with more cities bending the knee to conquering ruler Taylor Swift.

But the biggest story in April was the end of Swift’s six-year relationship with boyfriend Joe Alwyn. Midnights had already hinted at possible cracks in the couple’s relationship, as fans would obsessively reassess in the wake of the news. And though some Swifties would parasocially mourn the end of her long-term romance, the split marked a renaissance for Swift’s public persona that would last through the rest of the year.

May: Matty Healy, Midnights (From The Vault), and a big announcement

The extent of Swiftiemania started becoming clear in May when fans sent a mysterious memoir to the top of the bestseller list completely sight unseen. (It turned out to be a memoir for BTS , not TS.) Things would only escalate as Swift had an extremely busy May, where her personal and professional accomplishments battled for dominance in the headlines. In one corner: the singer’s controversial rebound relationship with The 1975’s Matty Healy , which sent some Swifties into a tailspin. In the other corner: Midnights (From The Vault) , which added to and in some ways refashioned the Midnights narrative, in addition to spawning a new collaboration with up-and-coming rapper Ice Spice on the “Karma” remix . (As it happens, Healy’s biggest scandal at the time had to do with racialized insults against Ice Spice on a podcast.) Then there was the announcement of the next re-recording, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) , which was destined to take the world by storm.

June: Hype for Taylor’s Version—and Richie’s Version

In June, Swift’s short-lived relationship with Healy reportedly came to an end , but her pervasive cultural impact obviously did not. Anticipation for Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) continued to grow as the pop star announced new “From The Vault” tracks that included collaborations with Fall Out Boy and Eras Tour opener Hayley Williams of Paramore. Ahead of revisiting the Speak Now era, Swift attempted to temper Swifties’ bloodlust towards old boyfriends, especially given that fans had already put a target on the back of John Mayer , one of the presumed muses of that album. “I was hoping to ask you that as we lead up to this album coming out, I would love for that kindness and that gentleness to extend onto our internet activities. Right?” she said during her Minneapolis tour stop. Swift then added, “I’m 33 years old. I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19, except the songs I wrote and the memories we made together.”

Meanwhile, this month saw one of many celebrated on-screen Swift moments: The Bear’s big “Love Story” scene in a fan-favorite episode that followed Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). Other shows that would capitalize on Swiftiemania in 2023 include The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Buccaneers .

July: Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)

The release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) was July’s biggest occurrence in Swiftiedom, if not the world over. The re-recording experiment continued to give Swift a chance not only to own her work, but in some cases to rewrite history (like changing a problematic slut-shaming lyric in “Better Than Revenge”). But the new “From The Vault” tracks showed how consistent Swift’s favorite themes and motifs have been for over a decade now, particularly when it comes to her own reputation . The album release obviously brought on a slew of additional broken records, some of them genuinely monumental (her 12th number one album made her the female artist with the most number ones in history) and others completely obscure (she became “the only act with nine different albums to sell at least a half-million copies in a single week”). The reclaimed era was punctuated by another Swift-directed music video about reclaiming her Eras: the “I Can See You” video notably stars her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner, subject of the Speak Now track “Back To December,” and Joey King and Presley Cash, stars of the “Mean” music video.

For those keeping track, July saw yet more Ticketmaster issues as Eras Tour tickets went on sale in Europe. Meanwhile, the U.S. leg of the Eras Tour continued to be the biggest event of the summer —a literal seismic occurrence. One notable attendee this month was Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce , who later lamented a missed opportunity to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. Luckily, he later found a way to get in touch with her ...

August: More announcements, more nominations, more and broken records

“August” is now another concept that belongs to Taylor Swift , with her song of the same name growing even more in popularity ever since its release in 2020 on the folklore album. She further staked her claim by having another huge month professionally, bringing the Eras Tour to Los Angeles (and getting a lot of credit for treating her employees to big bonuses along the way). Her impact was so profound that local politicians were imploring her to postpone her shows in solidarity with the hotel workers’ strike.

Though Swift didn’t end up postponing, she did make headlines for announcing another re-recording , 1989 (Taylor’s Version) . Fitting, because Swift’s increased levels of publicity and fame began to mirror that classic era wherein she first broke into pop music, though to even more extreme degrees of magnitude . She topped the list of nominees for the VMAs and announced Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour in partnership with AMC , a concert event that quickly smashed first-day advanced sales records and had other films so scared they shifted their premiere dates just to get out of the way.

And as an August post-script, Swift’s enemies continued to suffer as a flock of Scooter Braun clients reportedly parted ways with the infamous manager . Swift would refer to this as “trash taking itself out.”

September: VMAs, Vault Tracks, and the Travis Kelce Era

In September, Taylor Swift expectedly swept the VMAs with nine wins (more than any other artist at the 2023 ceremony ). After enjoying some classic awards show shenanigans (girl loves to dance), she went on to do some next-level promo by taking over all of Google and getting Swifties all over the world involved in cracking the 1989 “Vault.” This led to the unveiling of a “From The Vault” tracklist that Swift claimed was her favorite of all the re-releases, including intriguing titles like “Suburban Legends” and “Slut!”

But what most excited Swifties this month was the singer stepping out with football player Travis Kelce , who had previously expressed an interest in her on his podcast. Apparently, shooting your shot pays off. And Swift showing up to watch him play payed off for both of them, as the NFL provided Eras Tour concert film promo and her presence provided promotional opportunity for pretty much everything else, including, bizarrely, “ ketchup and seemingly ranch ,” a meme that took on an entire life of its own. The relationship was instantly a cultural sensation, and even Kelce’s mother later commented on how beneficial it was for people to cash in on the overwhelming coverage .

October: Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), and another #1

While Swift’s newfound football fandom continued to make headlines, anticipation for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film manifested in more than $100 million in advance ticket sales . The film ended up releasing early and had a star-studded premiere that included an appearance by Swift’s only rival for Queen of Summer 2023, Beyoncé , whose own concert film would follow in Swift’s footsteps two months later by releasing directly through AMC. Swift’s film was a critical and commercial success , as is Swift’s wont.

But Taylor Swift is never one to rest on her laurels, so she continued to work extra hard throughout the month, putting in appearances at Saturday Night Live and making a last push to put “Cruel Summer” —a song that was released three years earlier as a mere album cut—at the top of the charts. (Unsurprisingly, she succeeded .) As if that wasn’t enough, October also saw the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) , exactly nine years after the release of the original 1989 . And, by the way, she became a billionaire to boot.

November: Grammy nominations and monster sales

Taylor Swift ushered in November by tidily surpassing the original 1989 sales with 1989 (Taylor’s Version). She easily picked up six Grammy nominations , and now has the most-ever nominations in the Song of the Year category (thanks, “Anti-Hero”!). Should Midnights take home Album of the Year, she’ll become the first artist in history to win the award four times. Swift celebrated these milestones by taking the Eras Tour to South America, where she became quite literally as big as Jesus . Tragically, her Brazilian tour stop was overshadowed by the death of a fan as local Swifties (and the performer herself) complained of extreme conditions in the stadium caused by a severe heatwave.

Nevertheless, the Swift train kept on moving. An extended Eras Tour concert film was announced, and the Grammy nominee closed out the month by attending the Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé premiere in London.

December: Happy birthday to Time Person of the Year Taylor Swift!

As a birthday present—and, frankly, an accurate read of culture writ large—Taylor Swift was named Time’s Person of the Year for 2023 in December. The resulting profile was not only a victory lap but another opportunity for Swift to rewrite her own narrative to suit her current purposes, whether in terms of her love life or her previous experiences with “cancelation.”

I had the time of my life fighting dragons with youuuu 🫶 Celebrate 34 with me by watching The Eras Tour (Extended Version) including “Long Live” 🐉 “The Archer” 🏹 and “Wildest Dreams” 🩵 at home! PS troll me all you want about my excessive and literal millennial emoji use but… pic.twitter.com/NPny3rJlav — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) December 13, 2023

As an added bonus, The Eras Tour (Extended Version) hit SVOD, capping off a year of win after win that frankly shows no sign of slowing in 2024. Swift celebrated by sharing concert footage of the Speak Now track “Long Live”—as in, long live the queen.

Taylor Swift’s Record-Breaking Eras Tour: See the Setlist

by Lorie Liebig August 10, 2023, 5:18 pm

On Wednesday (August 9), the extensive first leg of Taylor Swift ‘s career-spanning Eras Tour came to a triumphant close. During the final performance of six straight nights at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the 33-year-old hitmaker announced that a re-recorded version of her 2014 album  1989  will be released on October 27.

Videos by American Songwriter

The news is just the latest in a sea of special announcements and surprises that have coincided with Swift’s first headlining tour in five years. Since kicking off on March 17 in Glendale, Arizona, The Eras Tour has been Swift’s platform to share news directly with her dedicated fans. Along with the release dates for Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and the extended edition of her 2022 album Midnights , she debuted her music videos for “Karma” and “I Can See You” from the stage. 

The special connection that Swift has fostered with her massive fanbase has helped land The Eras Tour in the history books. The U.S. Justice Department launched a formal investigation into Ticketmaster after unpredicted demand for the tour caused the site to crash during its initial pre-sale.

On a more positive note, sales of beads and craft supplies rose due to thousands of fans creating Swift-themed friendship bracelets to exchange at show dates. The Eras Tour is also on track to become the highest-grossing concert tour in history , breaking a sales record previously held by Elton John.

If you didn’t get to see Swift’s visual spectacle, which includes vignette performances of songs from each of her past albums, you’re in luck. Additional U.S. dates were recently announced for 2024 , with more dates expected to be unveiled in the coming months.

If you don’t have your tickets to the Eras Tour yet, you can get them on StubHub , where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Taylor Swift Announces '1989 (Taylor’s Version)' at Eras Tour Show in Los Angeles

Taylor Swift closed the 2023 U_S_ leg of her landmark Eras Tour in Los Angeles in a big way by announcing the fourth edition of her re-recording project: “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Taylor Swift closed the 2023 U.S. leg of her landmark Eras Tour Wednesday night in Los Angeles in a big way, announcing the fourth edition of her re-recording project: “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”

After playing a few tracks from her “1989” era live, including an abridged take on “Bad Blood,” the pop superstar approached the center of the stage with an acoustic guitar in hand and suggested to the audience that she had been working on something big.

“Instead of just, like, telling you about it, I think I'll just sort of show you,” she told the crowd as the screen illuminated behind her. “'1989 (Taylor’s Version)' available Oct. 27!” she cheered, pointing out that she was revealing this on the eighth month of the year and the ninth day — a numerical clue.

Then she launched into a surprise performance of the ascendant “1989” track “New Romantics” and the “Reputation”-era piano ballad “New Year's Day” for the first time during her world tour.

Just last month, Swift released her re-recording of “Speak Now” and soon claimed the record for the woman with the most No. 1 albums in history. The “Taylor's Version” projects were sparked by music manager Scooter Braun's purchase and subsequent sale of her early catalog.

Beyond the breaking news, across more than three-and-a-half hours at SoFi Stadium, Swift offered fans a bevy of career-spanning tracks — less a greatest hits collection, and more a live celebration of an artist in her veterancy.

Choreographed easter eggs were frequent. Swift would mimic dance moves from her iconic music videos and crack jokes about her feelings and “women-splaining to men how to apologize to women."

Openers — and “besties,” as Swift described them — HAIM joined her on stage for the “evermore” cut “no body, no crime.”

Across more than 40 tracks reflecting 17 years of recorded music, it was as if the ground shook with the rapturous sound of 70,000 fans scream-singing along to her hits and deep cuts alike. This was Taylor Swift's house — filled with fans in light Taylor Swift cosplay (pink dresses for her 2019 album “Lover,” black leather and snakeskin prints for 2017's “Reputation,” sequins and A-line skirts for 2014's “1989,” and so on).

Before launching into her “1989” era tracks, Swift performed an emotive single from her “folkore” album, “cardigan.” “When you are young, they assume you know nothing,” she sang, contorting the line in the third verse, “I knew everything when I was young.”

For a performance predicated on returning to the past as well as celebrating the present, it felt like a mission statement. Throughout her career and her many sonic experiments, Swift has been a keen observer of human condition and heartbreak. Even in those early songs about fantasies and fairytales, she demonstrates a kind of pragmatic wisdom. It is why a song she wrote when she was 16 can elicit the same sort of response as one written in her 30s.

And in a summer stacked with superstar tours celebrating giant new releases — like the larger-than-life experiences of Beyoncé's “Renaissance” World Tour and Drake’s 56-date “It Was All a Blur” tour — Taylor Swift's lookback Eras Tour stands proudly among them.

For fans who desire their beloved artist play the hits — she certainly delivered.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is a cultural phenomenon. With unprecedented demand, smashed world records and a staggering 44-song setlist, the Eras tour spans Swift’s entire discography, chronicling all the various eras and albums of the Midnights singer’s career.

From the mad scramble to buy tickets that crashed Ticketmaster’s website to guest appearances from the likes of Taylor Lautner, Joey King, Haim and Phoebe Bridgers, Swift brings new surprises for her fans at each stop.

As the first round of Swift’s Eras Tour approaches its last dates in Los Angeles, The Hollywood Reporter has compiled the biggest highlights from the tour so far.

Fans Crash Ticketmaster Presale

Before the Eras Tour even began, it was making history. During the rush to buy tickets after five-plus years of waiting, the retailer site Ticketmaster crumbled, with many experiencing multiple hour-long waits and the majority of fans not being able to secure tickets. According to Ticketmaster, the demand was unprecedented and led to no tickets being available as a part of the general sale. Ticket prices soared above $1,000 for the cheapest seats on the resale market, leading to congressional hearings that included more than a few tongue-in-cheek Swift references.

"22" Hat Giveaways — Selena Gomez’s Sister, Kobe Bryant’s Daughter

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift (L) and NBA player Kobe Bryant speak onstage during The 1989 World Tour Live In Los Angeles at Staples Center on August 21, 2015 in Los Angeles, California.

It’s a nightly ritual at the Eras Tour for Swift to gift her black fedora hat to one lucky fan in the audience during her performance of Red hit song “22.” At an Arlington, Texas, show on April 1, Swift stopped to say hello to Selena Gomez’s 9-year-old sister, Gracie, who was in attendance with the Only Murders in the Building star, to exchange the hat for a friendship bracelet. Similarly, during her Thursday night show at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, the Eras performer shared a sweet moment with Kobe Bryant’s daughter Bianka Bryant. The pair hugged as Swift placed the hat on Bianka’s head.

In 2015, the late Lakers legend joined Swift onstage at the then-Staples Center during her 1989 tour, surprising her with a championship-style banner in honor of her record-breaking 16 sold-out shows at the arena.

'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)' Announced in Nashville

1989 taylor eras tour

At her first Nashville stop on May 5, Swift treated fans to the highly anticipated announcement that album rerelease Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) would drop on July 7. As expected, the artist teased the announcement days before the show, posting a purple heart emoji on social media. Before launching into Speak Now track and surprise song of the night “Sparks Fly,” Swift debuted a first look at the album cover on the big screens of Nissan Stadium, while purple lights lit up the Nashville’s Cumberland River bridge.

“You know how I love to plan things, and how I love to surprise you with the things I plan,” she said onstage. “It’s my love language with you — I plot, I scheme, I plan and I get to tell you about it.”

It fills me with such pride and joy to announce that my version of Speak Now will be out July 7 (just in time for July 9th, iykyk 😆) I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their… pic.twitter.com/oa0Vs5kszr — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) May 6, 2023

Haim Takes the Stage for "No Body, No Crime"

Este Haim, Taylor Swift, Danielle Haim and Alana Haim perform onstage during Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at Levi's Stadium on July 28, 2023 in Santa Clara, California.

Swift’s real-life besties from sibling trio band Haim joined the Speak Now singer onstage in Seattle on July 22. Together, the friends performed their Evermore collab “No Body, No Crime,” marking the first live performance of the song on the Eras Tour. With the girl band announced as one of the opening acts for the tour, fans expected Haim to appear at least once to perform alongside Swift.

Ice Spice Collabs With Swift on "Karma" Remix

Ice Spice and Taylor Swift perform onstage during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at MetLife Stadium on May 27, 2023 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

On the day she released the Midnights album extended version The Til Dawn Edition , Swift brought out one of her newest collaborators Ice Spice onto New Jersey’s Metlife Stadium stage. The rapper, who features on a remix edition of Midnights hit song “Karma,” joined Swift onstage to perform her verse and close out the show for three nights in a row.

Phoebe Bridgers Performs Vault Track "Nothing New" While Opening for Swift

Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift perform onstage during night two of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at Nissan Stadium on May 06, 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Across the Nashville, Philadelphia, Massachusetts and New Jersey legs of the tour, Phoebe Bridgers joined Swift as not only an opening act, but also a stage partner. With acoustic guitars in hand, Bridgers and Swift took to the Eras stage multiple times to perform their fan-favorite vault track from Red (Taylor’s Version) , “Nothing New.” On Bridgers’ final night on the tour at MetLife, the friends shared heartfelt goodbyes on stage. “You are my hero,” Bridgers told Swift onstage, with Swift responding: “Thank you for being the friend that you’ve been to me.”

“Long Live” Is Added to the Set List

Taylor Swift performs onstage during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at SoFi Stadium on August 03, 2023 in Inglewood, California.

After the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) , fan-favorite song “Long Live” off the album entered the set list. Presumably, until that point Swift had previously avoided performing too many songs off of Speak Now so as not to promote any tracks owned by Scooter Braun.

"I Can See You" Video Drops With Special Guest Appearances: Taylor Lautner, Presley Cash and Joey King

(L-R) Presley Cash, Taylor Swift, Joey King and Taylor Lautner speak onstage for night one of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on July 07, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri.

The hit single off Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) was the new “From the Vault” track “I Can See You,” which became a radio hit and charted on Billboard. To announce the music video she directed for the track, Swift brought out the video’s stars, including ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner along with Presley Cash and Joey King, on stage at the Eras Tour in Kansas City. Lautner performed a backflip, a nod to his scene with Swift in the 2010 film Valentine’s Day. “He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name,” said Swift onstage during the video announcement.

Two Surprise Songs at Each Show

Every single stop of the tour, Taylor Swift has performed two surprise songs that are unique to that tour stop, only repeating a handful of tracks from amongst her vast discography. Fans have tracked the songs online via Twitter — even maintaining complex spread sheets — hoping to get one of their favorites that isn’t a part of the main set list as a “surprise song.” Highlights have included “Hits Different,” “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” “Our Song,” “Tim McGraw” and many more.

Taylor Swift Fans Cause an Earthquake

Guests attend the "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at SoFi Stadium on August 03, 2023 in Inglewood, California.

At the Eras Tour stop in Seattle, fans partied so hard they caused the equivalent of a small earthquake . This rivaled Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch’s “Beast Quake” from 2011, thought Swift came out as the clear winner when measured on the Richter scale.

On the last night of the first leg of her U.S. tour, Swift revealed that 1989 (Taylor’s Version) will release Oct. 27. Throughout her performance at sixth night of Eras Tour shows at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, the singer teased the announcement by wearing several blue outfits to celebrate the occasion. Following the announcement, fans were treated to 1989 track “New Romantics.” The rerecorded version will feature 21 songs, including five previously unreleased songs from The Vault as described on Swift’s website.

“Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you,” Swift wrote on social media. “The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long!”

Taylor Swift announces ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ at Eras Tour show in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Taylor Swift closed the 2023 U.S. leg of her landmark Eras Tour Wednesday night in Los Angeles in a big way, announcing the fourth edition of her re-recording project: “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”

After playing a few tracks from her “1989” era live, including an abridged take on “Bad Blood,” the pop superstar approached the center of the stage with an acoustic guitar in hand and suggested to the audience that she had been working on something big.

“Instead of just, like, telling you about it, I think I’ll just sort of show you,” she told the crowd as the screen illuminated behind her. “’1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ available Oct. 27!” she cheered, pointing out that she was revealing this on the eighth month of the year and the ninth day — a numerical clue.

Then she launched into a surprise performance of the ascendant “1989” track “New Romantics” and the “Reputation”-era piano ballad “New Year’s Day” for the first time during her world tour.

Just last month, Swift released her re-recording of “Speak Now” and soon claimed the record for the woman with the most No. 1 albums in history. The “Taylor’s Version” projects were sparked by music manager Scooter Braun’s purchase and subsequent sale of her early catalog.

Beyond the breaking news, across more than three-and-a-half hours at SoFi Stadium, Swift offered fans a bevy of career-spanning tracks — less a greatest hits collection, and more a live celebration of an artist in her veterancy.

Choreographed easter eggs were frequent. Swift would mimic dance moves from her iconic music videos and crack jokes about her feelings and “women-splaining to men how to apologize to women.”

Openers — and “besties,” as Swift described them — HAIM joined her on stage for the “evermore” cut “no body, no crime.”

Across more than 40 tracks reflecting 17 years of recorded music, it was as if the ground shook with the rapturous sound of 70,000 fans scream-singing along to her hits and deep cuts alike. This was Taylor Swift’s house — filled with fans in light Taylor Swift cosplay (pink dresses for her 2019 album “Lover,” black leather and snakeskin prints for 2017’s “Reputation,” sequins and A-line skirts for 2014’s “1989,” and so on).

Before launching into her “1989” era tracks, Swift performed an emotive single from her “folkore” album, “cardigan.” “When you are young, they assume you know nothing,” she sang, contorting the line in the third verse, “I knew everything when I was young.”

For a performance predicated on returning to the past as well as celebrating the present, it felt like a mission statement. Throughout her career and her many sonic experiments, Swift has been a keen observer of human condition and heartbreak. Even in those early songs about fantasies and fairytales, she demonstrates a kind of pragmatic wisdom. It is why a song she wrote when she was 16 can elicit the same sort of response as one written in her 30s.

And in a summer stacked with superstar tours celebrating giant new releases — like the larger-than-life experiences of Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” World Tour and Drake’s 56-date “It Was All a Blur” tour — Taylor Swift’s lookback Eras Tour stands proudly among them.

For fans who desire their beloved artist play the hits — she certainly delivered.

1989 taylor eras tour

Just like all the diehard Swifties predicted, pop superstar Taylor Swift announced the release date of the next album in her re-recorded series, “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” during her final stop on The Eras Tour at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on Wednesday, Aug. 9.

Swift took up residency at the new football stadium, selling out a record-setting six shows on Aug. 3-5 and 7-9 . The show is an over three-hour musical marathon that takes fans through nine of her 10 albums, including her latest, 2022’s “Midnights.”

On Wednesday evening, after teasing fans with tons of Easter eggs throughout the evening, Swift finally addressed the crowd, sporting a very new blue dress on the tour, and pointed them to the jumbo screen behind her which revealed that “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” would be available on Oct. 27. The album will also include five new “from the vault” tracks.

Throughout The Eras Tour, Swift has peppered in the songs “Blank Space,” “Shake It Off,” “Bad Blood” and shortened versions of “Style” and “Wildest Dreams” off of “1989,” an ’80s synth-pop inspired record which was originally released on Oct. 27, 2014. Swift has been re-recording her old songbook to own the copyrights to all of the new recordings, which is why each of the former albums she’s put out more recently has “Taylor’s Version” or “TV” attached.

Early in the evening, fans were tweeting about Swift’s new blue outfits — a princess-like blue dress for her “Speak Now” era, followed by a flowy light blue number for the whimsical “Folklore” era and a fun-and-flirty bejeweled blue skirt and cropped tank in the “1989” era — hinting that a “1989” announcement was indeed on the horizon.

Fans also began posting at around 11 p.m. that her website store had suddenly been updated to reflect the “1989” era with some new graphics.

Swift did announce “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” during an Eras Tour stop in Nashville on May 5 and dropped the re-recorded album with a few new surprises on July 7, including the “from the vault” track, “I Can See You,” which she played as one of her secret songs during her first evening at SoFi Stadium on Aug. 3 .

Setting and breaking records for selling out shows in Southern California is nothing new for Swift, who, back in 2015, sold out five shows at Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena) in Los Angeles while out in support of “1989.”

During that run of shows in the Lakers’ house, the late Kobe Bryant welcomed her and revealed a banner that hangs in the rafters with the dates of her record-setting tour. In a full circle moment, Swift surprised Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s daughter Bianka with the famous “22 hat” during the song “22” at SoFi Stadium on Aug. 3.

The Eras Tour goes international starting Aug. 24 in Mexico City, Mexico and then travels to Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Singapore, France, Sweden, Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Poland before returning to the U.S. in 2024 with dates in Florida, Louisiana and Indiana that October and November.

So far, The Eras Tour is scheduled to officially wrap up at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where it will play out over six final evenings Nov. 14-16 and 21-23, 2024.

Karlie Kloss Was a Non-VIP Attendee at Taylor Swift’s Triumphant, White-Wine-Swigging, 1989 (Taylor’s Version )–Announcing Eras Tour Finale Show

1989 taylor eras tour

By Kase Wickman

Karlie Kloss Watched Taylor Swift Announce 1989 —From the Nosebleeds

Wednesday night, the much-anticipated announcement of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) album rerecord at Taylor Swift ’s final North America date (for now) of the Eras Tour was impossible to miss: Even some aircraft passengers were treated to the breaking news announcement, as SoFi Stadium lit up its roof with the album’s title . Sometimes the friendly skies are also incredibly informative, in addition to being genial.

While that (inevitable—honestly even the most amateur numerologist could have spotted the link between that 8/9 concert date and 1989 announcement) news was unmissable, another seismic Swiftian event might have flown under the radar, if not for eagle-eyed fans: Karlie Kloss, a former Swift bestie and #Squad member who was notably not on the “Look What You Made Me Do” T-shirt (a moment so historic that the Library of Congress should have it on file), took in the concert. And friends, she was not in the VIP bunker. Klossy was in the stadium with the normies. The normies! (Those normies include noted Meghan Markle pal and designer Misha Nonoo and fellow model Marianne Fonseca , who joined Kloss in those way-high-up seats.)

We have so many questions: Did Taylor know she was coming? Was Karlie trying to be incognito, or did she have to buy a ticket? Did she buy resale, or did she hit that “best available seat, verified fan” jackpot way back in the day? Is there…bad blood? And how was Adam Sandler, decked out in his pastel Lover best, able to score a spot in what looks to be the VIP zone at the concert? The Sandman!

To put it in terms that Swifties can understand, in this scenario, Adam Sandler is the cheer captain and Karlie Kloss is on the bleachers. It is unclear if what Taylor has been looking for has, in fact, been here the whole time.

Kloss and Swift were spotted together from 2013 to 2019 after first appearing together at Swift’s performance at the 2013 Victoria’s Secret runway show. Swift even gushed about Kloss having a designated bedroom at Swift’s Tribeca apartment. According to Page Six , that room was at the center of the two’s falling out (though both their representatives have denied this), with sources telling the outlet that Swift felt Kloss took advantage of her hospitality. Swift did not attend either of Kloss’s 2018 and 2019 wedding celebrations when she wed Josh Kushner, though she was reportedly invited and at the time Kloss’s representative said Taylor was unable to attend due to prior commitments. 

Preorders for Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) have soared in the hours since the announcement of its October 27 release—exactly nine years after the first version of the album dropped, part of Swift’s mission to rerecord and rerelease her first six albums. Under her previous record deal, Swift did not own the masters to her own songs. All of the “Taylor’s version” rerecorded masters, and the masters for Lover and later albums, are owned by Swift, allowing her not only to profit financially from the songs, but increasing her control over how the new recordings are licensed and used. Previously, a group of investors fronted by exec Scooter Braun purchased the original masters, and they’ve since been sold to a private equity firm . Swift released Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) earlier this summer, and after 1989, only Reputation and Taylor Swift (often referred to by fans as Debut ) remain in the project.

“Since I was a teenager, I wanted to own my music,” Swift said onstage in LA while announcing the latest rerelease. “The way to do it was to rerecord my albums, and the way that you have embraced…that you have celebrated, that you really decided that it was your fight too, and that you were one hundred percent behind me…I will never stop thanking you for that.” Later in the show, she appeared to get emotional, dabbing her eyes, when her piano-backed performance of “Champagne Problems” garnered an eight-minute-long standing ovation.

While we may not have answers to what the hell is going on with Swift and Kloss, one thing seems unquestionable: Swift really earned that well-filled wine goblet (a festive pour, as Jennifer Coolidge would say) she was spotted swigging as she exited the stage at the end of Wednesday’s show.

Listen to this article

Can you believe ? After almost five years, a brand new Taylor Swift world tour is finally upon us! The Eras Tour officially opened its doors in Glendale, Arizona on March 17th where Taylor performed songs from all 10 of her albums.

Since 2018, when Taylor embarked on her last world tour, she's released four brand new albums and four re-recorded albums. Due to the pandemic, Lover , folklore , evermore and Midnights have yet to be toured, which means Taylor has over 200 songs to choose from for The Eras Tour setlist. Narrowing all of that down into a 3-hour show? Sounds impossible , right?

The average Taylor Swift concert is around 2 hours long but The Eras Tour is a whole different beast... The opening show in Glendale was a whopping 3 hours and 15 minutes long, and Taylor performed a huge 44 tracks within that timeframe.

Not all the tracks are performed in full, though – some are shortened versions. There's also a couple of additional little interludes that pop up throughout the show.

For context, on the Rep tour, Taylor performed 19 tracks in total, including several mashups that featured some of her older songs. For The 1989 World Tour, she performed 18 songs, while 17 songs were performed on The Red Tour and the Speak Now World Tour.

What songs does Taylor Swift perform on the Eras Tour?

Well, Taylor has now completed her 2023 tour dates and international fans heading to the shows in 2024 now have a pretty solid idea of what to expect when she performs later down the line. As expected, the set list features a mix of her highest charting songs, lead singles, fan favourites, outright bangers and tracks that stand out as milestones in her incredible career so far.

On March 31st, during her first show in Arlington, TX, Taylor confirmed that the setlist will have some changes as the tour goes on. Two permanent changes have happened so far, with songs being replaced and added:

Taylor has 'reset' the surprise song list, which means anyone attending a show in 2024 can anticipate hearing a song she's already performed. She previously stated that she will only play each surprise song once during the tour, unless she messes one up.

There's also no rules for Taylor repeating songs from Midnights as surprise songs, which means fans may get to hear the likes of 'You're On Your Own Kid' and 'Snow on the Beach' again at some point in the future.

We'll update this article with every Surprise Acoustic Song – and every surprise song that she will play again – after every show.

Will Taylor Swift change the Eras Tour setlist to include The Tortured Poets Department?

Will Taylor Swift change the Eras Tour setlist for the international shows?

With the first international date of the Eras Tour now in the bag, we now know that the setlist will remain the exact same for the rest of the tour. The original setlist will remain in tact throughout the remaining shows.

That said, fans attending the European shows might end up hearing Taylor perform 'Castles Crumbling' with Hayley Williams as an additional song during the Speak Now section, as Paramore will be supporting her throughout those tour dates. (Both Phoebe Bridgers and HAIM joined Taylor on stage to perform 'Nothing New' and 'No Body, No Crime' respectively on the nights they were support acts.)

After completing her shows in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, Taylor is now set to pick the tour back up in Japan in February 2024 and run through to mid-August before returning to North America in November 2024.

Will Taylor Swift change the Eras Tour setlist to include The Tortured Poets Department ?

Taylor's brand new album will be released on April 19th, just before she embarks on the European leg of the Eras Tour.

We won't know for sure whether or not the official setlist will change to accommodate those songs until she kicks off the Eras Tour in Paris on May 9th.

While it's unlikely to affect the actual setlist, it's possible that Taylor will perform some of those new songs as surprise songs. We'll update this article as soon as we know more!

What are Taylor's most performed songs on tour?

Before she embarked on The Eras Tour, Taylor’s top 3 most performed songs are ‘Love Story’ (491 times), ‘Our Song’ (404 times) and ‘You Belong With Me’ (381 times).

Of course, almost all of Taylor’s most performed songs are from her first two albums. As the list goes on, the Speak Now bops, Red bangers and 1989 hits start to weave their way in.

If you’re wondering what Taylor’s most played songs from her first five albums are, here’s a break down:

  • Taylor Swift : ‘Our Song’, ‘Tim McGraw’ and ‘Picture To Burn’
  • Fearless: ‘Love Story’, ‘You Belong With Me’ and ‘Fifteen’
  • Speak Now : ‘Sparks Fly’, ‘Mean’ and ‘Mine’
  • Red : ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’, ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ and ‘Red’
  • 1989 : ‘Shake It Off’, ‘Blank Space’ and ‘Out of the Woods’

Taylor has only had the chance to perform songs from Reputation on the Reputation Stadium Tour so far, but ‘Ready For It?’, ‘Delicate’ and ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ take the top spots when it comes to live performances of the Rep tracks.

Due to the cancellation of Lover Fest, Taylor hasn’t been able to perform Lover on a tour setting. Folklore, Evermore and Midnights will also be making their tour debut on the Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift's long-awaited Eras Tour has finally started and the singer is delivering on all fronts — from performance to vocals and, of course, fashion.

On opening weekend, Taylor Swift gave us plenty of whimsical, elegant, and nostalgic looks as we traveled with her through the eras of her career. She wore a handful of familiar styles, with slight tweaks to fit her current style, and gave us plenty of sparkle and shine. Throughout 15+ more stop stops (and counting), Taylor has given us even more memorable fashion moments.

If you are scouring the internet to find out where each look is from, fret not. Here's a look at all the looks Taylor Swift has from during her Eras Tour — from opening night in Glendale, Arizona, to some of her most recent shows in New Jersey and Chicago — and what you can expect to see her wear if you plan on attending one of the upcoming shows.

1. Lover era

Taylor Swift performs onstage for the opening night of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium on March 17...

The first era is  Lover , a time that signified growth, comfort, and basking in the glow of the daylight. Taylor starts the night off in a  custom Versace bodysuit , bright and bold. She pairs it with an equally shiny pair of  custom, studded Louboutin boots . Night one's bodysuit was a playful, iridescent purple color, and she opted for a slightly more elegant, gold-colored one for the second night of the Eras tour kickoff weekend. 

The shoes are sparkly, but they aren't really the star of the show until she puts on a blazer, also studded, and also Versace, and performs "The Man." The shoes instantly grabbed the spotlight as she kicked her heels up and flashed the red bottoms. This is the first of several pairs of custom Louboutins that Taylor wears throughout the night – they're the  sole footwear provider for the tour , just like during the  Reputation  tour.

At her show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the star debuted a new Versace bodysuit that sparkled even brighter than the original one she wore. There are brighter crystals, shining in purple, and extra details, like tassels down her thigh. She paired the new bodysuit with a pair of ombré bedazzled Versace heels, also in purple. Adorning her neck was the Versace Crystal Butterflies Chain Necklace to complete the look.

2. Fearless era

In a seamless transition to the era that sealed the deal for her as a stage performer and style icon, the  Fearless  era portion of the night brought back shimmery dresses made to move around. The boots stay on, but she trades out the sparkly bodysuit to dance in a storm in her best dress. 

One of the big themes in her clothes throughout the night is fringe, which becomes an accessory to the singer as she moves around the stage and dances around singing her best hits. This  custom Roberto Cavalli dress  allows her to do just that, move around freely and shine bright. 

On the second night of the tour, Taylor opted for fringe down the legs in  another Roberto Cavalli custom dress  embellished with Swarovski crystals. Again, the movements looked just as mesmerizing in this dress as the first night.

As the tour has continued, Taylor has debuted another equally stunning dress to embody the  Fearless era. The dress is similar to her custom Roberto Cavalli dress with fringe down her leg, but in silver.

3. Acoustic interlude

Taylor Swift performs onstage for the opening night of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium on March 17...

During the opening night, Taylor referenced her debut era playing her first-ever hit song, "Tim McGraw." This era falls into an acoustic set, where Taylor does one of her favorite things: She plays two surprise songs each night to give every fan a unique experience during the show they choose to attend.  The acoustic, slowed-down portion of the show gives the fans a breather, a time to connect with their favorite singer as she’s able to take a seat at the piano and chat with the crowd before she gives a surprise performance. 

During this segment, she has so far worn a  Jessica Jones  dress with ruffles that hug her frame as she sits by the piano. The first night she wore a magenta-colored version of the dress. On night two, it was green. We first wondered if we'd see more colors as the tour continued and TSwift delivered. She’s also worn the stunning dress in a yellow shade as well.

4. evermore era

Next up is  evermore  era, for which Taylor wears a simple but bright mustard dress from  Etro , also custom. To perform the songs from this quaint but grand era, the stage is set with trees along a foggy backdrop. The tone of the show shifts here. This is where Taylor gets to sit at the piano and commandeer the crowd with her lyrics. There is no need for fringe and sparkles as the crowd sings along at the top of their lungs to "champagne problems" to accompany her.

5. Reputation era

Taylor Swift performs onstage for the opening night of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium on March 17...

During the  Reputation  tour, Taylor made a bold choice to abandon the pants and embrace the bodysuit. She brings that energy back to represent this era with one of the fiercest ones we've ever seen her in; an asymmetrical, show-stopping  black and red colored custom Roberto Cavalli one . As we've realized by now, nothing on this tour will be dull on the sparkle, and this number features sequins studded along the leg in that infamous snake pattern familiar to this era.

6. Speak Now era

Taylor Swift performs onstage for the opening night of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium on March 17...

To sing one singular song from the  Speak Now  era, the fan-favorite "Enchanted," Taylor emerges ready to impress. You can't help but be enchanted by the soft glow reflecting off the sparkles of the  Nicole + Felicia Couture bespoke gown  she's wearing. This is reminiscent of the Valentino gown she wore when she sang this song on the  Speak Now  tour but grander, and of course, with more bling. 

On night two of the tour in Glendale, Arizona, Taylor switched up this look and gave the audience an equally shiny but slightly different look, opting for a  Zuhair Murad Couture custom gown  with a starburst design embellishment.

Taylor Swift performs onstage during Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium on March 18 2023 in Swift City...

This portion of the show is where she’s been able to switch it up the most. As the tour progressed, the star has given us plenty of glorious gowns to “ooh” and “aah” at. Another Zuhair Murad Couture custom gown was added to the  Speak Now era collection, with thousands of sequins sewn on in a starburst design.

Some nights, she graces the stage in an Elie Saab Fall 2020 Couture gown that is full of tulle and drama. Other nights, she opts for something a bit more simple, but elegant: an Ellie Saab Couture gown from Fall/Winter 2022, straight from the runway that has fabric flowers sewn down the bottom half of the dress. This dress’s train drags behind her as she walks down the catwalk of the massive stage softly and slowly, matching the tone of the song.

The next era is introduced in a spirited manner as Taylor revisits a popularly recreated look: the "Not A Lot Going On At The Moment" T-Shirt from the "22" music video. This look is paired with a Gladys Tamez hat that she gives to a lucky audience member during the performance.

On the second night of the tour, she opted to poke a bit of fun at herself with a T-shirt that read "Who's Taylor Swift Anyway? Ew" after lyrics from the song "22" instead.

As the North American tour reached its halfway point, she introduced another shirt that says, “We Are Never Getting Back Together, Like Ever.” The sequined shirts are all  custom by Ashish , who also made the original shirt in the “22” music video. Once the t-shirt is removed, a beautiful red-to-black ombré bodysuit is revealed, fittingly so for the  Red  era.

When it's time to sing her magnum opus, "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)," a sparkly red overcoat is added atop the already striking bodysuit. She puts her best foot forward for a song that has a story as remarkable as her career, with a red guitar to match.

She also used this time, for the first half of the tour, to bring out her collaborator and tour opener  Phoebe Bridgers to sing their acoustic and emotional song “Nothing New.” On Bridgers’s last night on the Eras tour, Swift showed off a chain around her neck that held a small pendant. It was later revealed that the pendant was the  Give You The Moon Charm from Phoebe Bridgers’ Catbird collection. Her footwear for this portion of the show is a seemingly comfortable pair of  loafers from Louboutin .

8. folklore era

For the  folklore  portion, we see the singer in a beautiful, muted  purple Alberta Ferretti dress  full of ruffles and flares. It's "fairy in the woods meets cozy baking in a cottage," which are exactly the right vibes of this imaginative and rustic era. 

During her performance of "august," Taylor uses body movements across the stage to express her frustration, and the lavender-toned dress added the perfect amount of drama and flair to the performance. As she moved, the  chiffon fabric  moved along with her seamlessly. On night two, she wore a similarly graceful  Alberta Ferretti dress , but in white. It had curtain drapes with delicate hanging threads, adding a  beautiful texture  to its movement.

Taylor loves to swiftly move around the stage in various Alberta Ferretti dresses during the most emotional portions of the  folklore  era. She’s shown us two more versions of custom dresses that were created for this portion of the show.

9. 1989 era

As the night progresses, we see more and more fringe. How else would we see the iconic "Shake It Off" movements except in another  Roberto Cavalli custom two-piece set  covered in chunky fringe with sequins in various shapes and sizes? This look is similar to what the singer wore on her  1989  tour.

On the first night of the tour, the co-ord set was  magenta . On the second night of the tour, she swapped it for the same set, except in bright green.

As the tour has continued, the pop queen has added an additional color to the 1989 co-ord repertoire. We’ve now seen the same Roberto Cavalli set in orange as well. How many colors will we see in total throughout the tour?

10. Midnights era

Taylor Swift performs onstage for the opening night of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium on March 17...

As we reach the present-day era,  Midnights , we get to the peak of extravagance and pomp. It's time to celebrate the eras past that have allowed Taylor to become the artist and performer she is today. The dress she chose to perform the culmination of her career is a custom  Oscar De La Renta  that's looser fitting but still heavy and studded in iridescent crystals. It's paired with a new set of custom Louboutins studded in black crystals. To add more drama, she has a fur coat on, also a custom piece from Oscar De La Renta. Everything about this look screams "Bejeweled," a song placed near the end of the setlist but a vibe that's exuded for the entirety of the night. 

As this era progresses, she sheds layers. The dress is shed to reveal an  Oscar De La Renta custom bodysuit , an article of clothing she seems to be very comfortable performing in. This time, there's black detailing. It's soft but striking and just sexy enough to perform the Cell Block Tango-esque choreography to "Vigilante Sh*t" with chairs and all. She even added a garter to her thigh to give a bit of a sexy edge to complete the look.

To finish off the show, another layer is added with even more fringe and even more sparkle, if that's even possible. This multi-colored statement piece is fabulous, and it's a perfect way to physically represent just what the last three hours and 15 minutes were all about: Taylor celebrating and shining with the 70,000 other people in the room with her.

100+ Taylor Swift Eras Tour Outfit Ideas + What to Wear to A Taylor Swift Concert!

Updated: Jan 17

1989 taylor eras tour

It's been a long time coming but.... it's been a crazy few years for miss Taylor Swift. She's dropped hint after hint, easter egg after easter egg, song after song, music video after music video!! She's truly a great entertainer and artist, and genuinely one of my favorite musicians to fangirl over.

I got tickets to Taylor Swift's Era's tour, and am trying to decide what era I should go as. . I can't wait to see what Taylor Swift's concert outfits are for this tour!

What do I wear to a Taylor Swift concert? Especially to the Eras tour?

Attendees are planning to wear outfits inspired by their favorite Taylor Swift era. There are ten eras total: Taylor Swift (Self-Titled), Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights. Each era has its own vibe, color aesthetic, and specific pieces Taylor wore during those periods. For example, Reputation is an absolute classic, with snake print, black leather, and tons of sass. Or maybe the Red era? I mean, that one IS my favorite Taylor Swift album. Come as a sad autumn girl with a red scarf, black high-waisted shorts and oxfords— that's definitely a vibe.

But as I was thinking through this, I thought maybe I could make mood boards and help others find the perfect Taylor Swift outfits from amazon to wear to Taylor Swift's concert on her The Eras Tour! I assure you, while putting this list together, with each era I worked on I listened to the album ;) Guaranteed inspiration!

Because of each stadium's bag policy, concert-goers need to bring a clear see-through bag to the venue. Here are a few realyl cute ones I've found. The first is pretty simple, but you can find clear bags that are really stylized to fit your eras tour outfit!

I'm also seeing a lot of people at Taylor Swift's concerts wearing body glitter and hair gems! Here are some options online that are great for doing glitzy hair and makeup the day of the Eras tour concert. The hair gem style has been SUPER popular, and you'll find a lot of other gals at the tour that are rocking similar!

To start off, here are a few pieces that would be good for any of her eras. Concert attendees are wearing "Friendship Bracelets" (a nod to the song You're On Your Own Kid), and the era's charm bracelet as well, which are both available on Amazon!

Taylor Swift Self-Titled Album

Taylor Swift Debut Era

T-Swift's self-titled album is a classic, with songs like "Picture to Burn", "Stay Beautiful", and "Should've Said No". With so many Taylor Swift album era options, this one will surely stand out and be super identifiable.

Taylor Swift's debut album is a whimsical journey through the enchanting world of teenage dreams and heartaches. Bursting with charm and a sprinkle of country sweetness, the album encapsulates the essence of Taylor's early years as a rising star. The aesthetic is like a vintage photo album, filled with snapshots of innocent crushes, teardrop-stained diaries, and the magic of first loves. The vibe is undeniably cute, as Taylor's relatable lyrics and catchy melodies transport you to a world where love letters are written in glittery pens, and every emotion is felt with an extra touch of sparkle. It's a musical hug from the past that leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling and a desire to dance around your room like no one's watching.

How to dress in Taylor Swift (Self-Titled) era outfits

When you want to dress like the self-titled Taylor Swift album, you've got to transport yourself back to good ol' 2006! That means low rise flare jeans, floral dresses, and plenty of cowgirl boots. Taylor's look back then involved more soft, butterfly-like looks that harken back to her country roots.

The Taylor Swift Debut vibe: Teals, greens, butterfly, cowgirl, floral, low rise jeans, and flannels.

Where to find these Taylor Swift (Debut Album) outfits:

Moving onto Taylor Swift's sophomore album, Fearless...

Taylor Swift Fearless Albums Taylor's version

Fearless Era (Plus Taylor's Version)

Fearless is when Taylor Swift really started to gain speed in the music industry, and the era evokes an true nostalgia for the early Tay years!

Taylor Swift's "Fearless" album, both the original and Taylor's version, exude a timeless charm that feels like a musical hug from a dear friend. The aesthetic is a blend of sunlit fields and starlit nights, capturing the essence of young love and fearless adventures. With a dash of country twang and a sprinkle of pop magic, the album's vibe is irresistibly cute, much like a handwritten love letter sealed with a kiss. Taylor's reimagined version adds an extra layer of nostalgia, like finding a cherished childhood toy in the attic. It's a journey back to a place where heartbreaks were mended with laughter, and every melody carried the promise of a new beginning. The vibe is like a cozy sweater, warm and comforting, inviting you to relive those moments and create new memories with the same wide-eyed wonder.

Taylor Swift Fearless era outfit ideas

How to dress in Taylor Swift Fearless era outfits

She loves sparkly dresses. Always has, always will. But this was the first era to REALLY bring that to the forefront. Soft whimsical touches, earthy kind of feelings, with a little bit of edginess.

The Taylor Swift Fearless vibe: Golds, sparkly dresses, fairy-tale fluff, elastic headbands, cowgirl boots, and boho.

Where to find these outfits:

Next up is Taylor Swift's third album, Speak Now! You can get inspired by the original Speak Now era, or the new Taylor's Version.

Taylor Swift speak now album era

Speak Now Era

A fairytale in a nutshell, Speak Now era is like a sparkly purple dream.

Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" album is a whimsical fairy tale spun with the threads of love, courage, and a sprinkle of daydream magic. The aesthetic is like a storybook come to life, filled with enchanted forests and castle walls where Taylor fearlessly takes center stage. The vibe is both daring and adorable, as if each song were a secret whispered in a moonlit garden. With a blend of country roots and pop melodies, the album dances through the pages of a romantic novel, where every chorus is a chapter and every bridge a thrilling plot twist. It's a musical adventure that invites you to join Taylor in a world where love conquers all, and each note is a charming invitation to step into a dreamscape where happily ever afters are set to a delightful melody.

Taylor Swift speak now era outfit ideas

How to dress in Taylor Swift Speak Now era outfits

I tapped into a few iconic Taylor Swift outfits from the Speak Now era, which welcomed in her love for oxfords, vintage pieces, and an overall romantic take on everything. Finding the perfect halter purple dress from Speak Now era is ESSENTIAL. I've added the one I found below!

The Taylor Swift Speak Now vibe: Purple EVERYTHING, the number 13, slouchy beanies, flannels, twee Oxford heels, whimsical dresses, and revenge. Lots of revenge.

Here are some more modern versions of the Speak Now era (now with Taylor's Version!!)

Next is my FAVORITE era, the RED era!

Taylor Swift red album era

Red Era (Plus Taylor's Version)

Arguably the best Taylor Swift album, hands down. RED is my personal favorite from her discography, mostly because this is the era where I because a HUGE Taylor Swift fan, rather than just a casual listener. All of the raw pain and anguish in this album make this era (and the TV era!) probably what I'm going to choose for the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour!

Taylor Swift's RED era is a sartorial symphony of passion and bold statements. The clothing aesthetic is a captivating blend of vintage glamour and modern sophistication, reflecting the album's emotional rollercoaster. Taylor dons iconic red dresses that symbolize both heartbreak and empowerment, showcasing her fearless style evolution. Picture timeless silhouettes, chic high-waisted shorts, and classic red lips that become a signature touch. The vibe is a mix of retro vibes and contemporary chic, with Taylor effortlessly balancing elegance and edge. From the glitzy red-carpet gowns to the laid-back yet stylish streetwear, every outfit in the RED era tells a story of self-discovery and resilience. It's a fashion journey that captures the essence of love, loss, and the vibrant hues of a life lived unapologetically.

Taylor Swift RED era outfit ideas

How to dress in Taylor Swift RED era outfits

This era probably has some of the most iconic fashion moments of Taylor Swift's career. The Taylor Swift red tour outfits were amazing. The "We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together" and "22" looks just scream 2012! Now ten years later in 2022, this style is still just as amazing and showstoppping... and iconically RED . Try to find a good striped shirt and some tailored high waisted shorts, and add a pair of red Keds to complete the look!

The Taylor Swift RED vibe: The color red (bright, like the original, or deep, like Taylor's Version), spectator Oxford shoes, heart sunglasses, fedora hats, high wasted shorts, and KEDS.

The "Not a lot going on at the moment" shirt is a classic for sure. You can buy it below. Also, with Taylor's new tour, she has a shirt that says "A LOT going on at the moment" too, which is featured here where I have some outfit ideas that are inspired by her concert looks from this Eras era!

During the show, Taylor gives her fedora-type hat to someone special in the audience. You can match her by wearing a black hat from her RED era!

From the RED Taylor's Version album cover, don a trench coat and a burnt Sienna newsboy cap, and the autumn leaves start to fall like pieces into place for your Taylor Swift concert outfit.

I Bet You Think About Me - Taylor Swift concert outfit idea

Something from RED Taylor's Version that is an instant showstopper: the I Bet You Think About Me outfit!

Here's where you can grab it:

Onto many people's favorite -- 1989!! This is the most recent Taylor's Version to come out. "1899 (Taylor's Version)" is not just an album; it's a captivating invitation to step into a lyrical ballroom where each song is a dance through time, and Taylor is the enchanting guide, gracefully leading us through the echoes of a century past.

Taylor Swift 1989 album era

A HUGE era for Taylor, commercially and her tour! She has so many fun and glitzy looks from this 1989 era. I pulled some Taylor Swift tour costumes from amazon that will make people double-take.... wait, is that Taylor Swift?? No? Shake it off!

Taylor Swift 1989 era outfit ideas

How to dress in Taylor Swift 1989 era outfits

Be sure to wear plenty of sequins, shiny fabrics, and two-piece outfits for a true 1989 era look from Taylor Swift! Add on the quintessential white rayon-type sunglasses to look like a true 1989 fan.

The Taylor Swift 1989 vibe: Sequins! Lots of blues and silver sparkles, crop tops, white rayon sunglasses, and sparkly fringe.

One of these outfits is a callback to Taylor's look at the 2016 Grammy Awards. I think it's such a unique outfit to wear to the Era's tour, because it's not exactly a "era" look, but something SO iconic from that era! Also, can you GET more 1989 than a pair of white rayon sunglasses? They were a staple piece in Taylor Swift's 1989 era.

A callback to a Swift inside joke, the yellow "No It's Becky" shirt is available on amazon!

1989 taylor eras tour

Seagulls everywhere, on everything. With the new 1989 Taylor's Version coming out, the coastal pale blue vibe is going to be a good choice.

If you want to be a little silly, you could come literally dressed like a seagull:

1989 taylor eras tour

Reputation Era

This era is the most similar to my own personal style, so when I attended the Rep tour, I was living my best life!! All her songs have a pop edge to them, so make sure to dress accordingly.

Taylor Swift reputation era outfit ideas

How to dress in Taylor Swift Reputation era outfits

Wear as much snake print, black, fishnet, and combat-wear you can find. The more you look like a hell-raiser, the better for Taylor Swift reputation outfits. I've added in a few cool amazon t-shirts in here as well from the era!

The Taylor Swift Reputation vibe: Snake print, black sequins, camouflage print, chains, combat boots, and slicked back hair.

Much like her album cover, you can find a newspaper Reputation dress below!

Taylor swift lover album era

Lover was all bright pink and multicolored, and it was AMAZING. The fun songs (and some deep love songs) created an incredible album from Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift Lover era outfit ideas

How to dress in Taylor Swift Lover era outfits

Pink, lots of pink. Actually, all pink. Just kidding! I put together some outfit ideas that are inspired by some of her performance looks and music video outfits from the Lover era.

The Taylor Swift Lover vibe: Lots of pink, multicolor, fringe, pearls, iridescence, hearts, and sweetness all around.

Grab a hot pink jacket and pearl sunglasses to look like Taylor from "You Need to Calm Down"! Choosing to wear a pastel sky print is such a Lover look, similar to her album cover!

Check out these gorgeous Lover-esque earrings and accessories:

Just like in the "ME!" music video, you can wear a heart shaped top like Taylor for the concert.

1989 taylor eras tour

Makeup for your Lover eras tour outfit

If you're wanting to dress up as Taylor's Lover era, it's a sweet detail to do the heart shape makeup over her eye like she does on her album cover! In order to do that, you'll need two main items: liquid latex and skin-safe pink glitter. You can find them here:

I've used the liquid latex above before and it works really well. All you'll need to do is outline the heart around your eye with the liquid latex, wait for it to get tacky, and then apply the pink glitter!

Taylor swift Folklore album era

Folklore Era

If you aren't the sparkly-dress Taylor Swift fan, and want to be a sad cottage-core girl, here is your chance! This album screams alone-in-the-woods-and-in-the-feels.

Taylor Swift Folklore era outfit ideas

How to dress in Taylor Swift Folklore era outfits

Tap into the cottage-core look and opt for some comfy sweaters, cardigans, and ditsy floral prints. I've grabbed a few items that look similar to the outfits she wore on some of her photoshoots from this era.

The Taylor Swift folklore vibe: Knit sweaters, plaid jackets, chunky boots, mushrooms, trees and a general folksy vibe.

Taylor Swift evermore album era

Evermore Era

Am I crazy to say that Evermore is one of my favorite TSwift albums? It's definitely the most forgotten one, but WOW does it have some bops, both sad and lovely.

Taylor Swift evermore era outfit ideas

How to dress in Taylor Swift Evermore era outfits

This era was so short-lived, but it gave us some beautiful looks! An easy go-to would be the brown/orange plaid jacket from Evermore. (I've linked on similar) Also, the Willow music video is a huge inspiration for these, and other Swifties will know exactly what you're going for!

The Taylor Swift evermore vibe: Deep plaids, ethereal jewelry, greens, leather boots, turtlenecks, and flown dresses.

From the "Willow" music video, you can choose a more whimsical and fairy-like look to fit in with the Evermore era! Below you can also find a dark green velvet cape like she wears during her Evermore set at the Eras Tour!

Taylor Swift Midnights album era

Midnights Era

Midnights only came out a few weeks ago while I'm writing this, so I'm still reeling from this album release! I know from the second I hear "Anti-Hero" that it would be an instant classic.

Taylor Swift Midnights era outfit ideas

How to dress in Taylor Swift Midnights era outfits

When it comes to the looks from Midnights era, they span from glitzy blue midnight dresses and plenty of sparkles, mixed with vintage looks that evoke a sense of 70s retro. Combining these all together will be the ultimate Midnights tour outfit!

The Taylor Swift Midnights vibe: Honestly, Taylor's Midnights aesthetic is all over the place, but can be boiled down to: 70s vintage, starry night, retro, oranges, blues, lavender, clocks, and anything, and I mean anything that is bejeweled.

Inspired by her 70's glam looks in much of the material for the release of her album midnights, you can don some burnt orange and corduroy and fit in well! The top and fur jacket look similar to the starry dress Taylor wore out when she was promoting "Midnights". For a more casual "Midnights" look, you can wear this sheer celestial top as well. Check out some of these that also scream "Lavender Haze"!

Where're ya going? You going out tonight? ;)

You can find a corset similar to Taylor's from her "Bejeweled" music video!

Taylor Swift's Stage Outfits

If you want to come to the concert the MOST prepared, you can dress like the current Era: the Eras era! Pretty meta, right? Here are some of the outfits that Taylor's been wearing on her tour that you can recreate in your concert outfit:

1989 taylor eras tour

Stage outfit 1— Midnights era Lavender Haze jacket

Taylor wears a pink/lavender sparkly dress with a fun faux-fur lavender coat. You can find a super sparkly dress and add a lavender faux fur coat, and look just like Taylor!

1989 taylor eras tour

Stage outfit 2— Evermore era pink dress

Taylor's whimsical pink dress during her Evermore era is GORGEOUS. Play up your own ethereal vibe and wear a similar dress to the Eras tour!

1989 taylor eras tour

Stage outfit 3— Reputation era jumpsuit

Taylor wears this awesome one-legged jumpsuit with red snakes all over it. You can buy a black sparkly jumpsuit and attach red snake appliqués to create a look similar to it.

1989 taylor eras tour

Stage outfit 4— Sparkly RED era jacket

The RED era (my favorite!) has Taylor donning a long red sparkle trench coat. You can look similar to this in either this red velvet long trench I've found, or a men's sparkly suit jacket!

1989 taylor eras tour

Stage outfit 5— "A LOT Going On At The Moment" shirt

She's reinvented her own RED era look with a shirt that instead of saying "Not a lot going on at the moment" it says "A LOT going on at the moment"! I've found a shirt that says exactly that new phrase on Amazon. Taylor also pairs it with a pair of sparkly black bottoms and a black hat.

1989 taylor eras tour

Stage outfit 6— 1989 era green two piece

A very Taylor typical outfit, more sparkles! And this time we're working with fun and bright green. She has a sparkle fringed two piece set on stage.

I hope you find some awesome inspiration on what to wear to Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour! See ya there :)

‘A three-hour extravaganza entails some difficult questions: when to hydrate? When to take a bathroom break?’ writes Michael Sun about attending a Taylor Swift concert in Sydney.

Taylor Swift’s Australian Eras tour is over. What were your favourite bits? – open thread

Recovering from a Taylor Swift comedown and want to relive the Eras tour? Join us in the comments with your favourite moments and memories

  • Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email

Getting tickets

On Tuesday last week, I wrote a piece for Guardian Australia about missing out on tickets to the Eras tour. My Swiftie daughter had introduced me to Taylor Swift and we bonded together over her music and at her concerts. 1989 in particular – a groundbreaking record for Swift – had a pivotal role in our lives: it was released just before I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and soundtracked that moment in my family’s life. As I recovered from major surgery, her song Out of the Woods was on repeat.

Reliving those memories with my daughter as we lined up online made missing out all worthwhile. Until something happened that was even better: a member of Taylor Swift’s team read the piece, reached out to my editors and gifted us two tickets to the Sunday night concert in Sydney. “Oh my GOD!!! I cannot believe this is happening,” I wrote in an email, ecstatic. “How is this even happening!!!” We packed our bags to make the long drive to Sydney from Bendigo for the show. It felt unreal – such a generous gift – and the show was incredible. It was so heartening to see all the parents with their young daughters; the mums and dads wearing glitter, getting into the spirit. There was so much love in the stadium that night, not just for Taylor, but also for each other. – Bridget Robertson

The hype before the show

For me, it was all the moments surrounding the concert. Overhearing Irish backpackers talking about how amazing all the Taylor Swift Australia hype is while floating in the ocean near them. Or my sister sending me pictures from her night shifts at the hospital where nurses had made her friendship bracelets. The little girls dressed in sparkles and cowboy hats with 13 written on their hands, running around excitedly outside Accor Stadium, just like I did when I was their age attending my first Swift concert. But oh how everything has changed since then. The Eras tour made the younger me – a diehard Swiftie – feel seen and finally embraced. And that was before the concert even started … – Claire Keenan

Swifties exchange friendship bracelets at the MCG before the first of Taylor Swift's three shows in Melbourne on 16 February

Getting ready with friends

A couple of hours before the show, all my friends were crammed into my tiny flat preparing for a three-and-a-half-hour marathon. Two were furiously bejewelling each other’s hair, one was carefully glitter-ifying the 13 he wrote on his hands, while another explained how comfortable her custom-made cowboy boots were. Swift soundtracked all of this. No matter how hard it is to clean up glitter, it was well worth the joy. – Sanjana Jose

Kameron Saunders

Swift isn’t the only star on her stage – her dancer Kameron Saunders was my favourite part of this Australian tour. For each night’s performance of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Saunders delivered a different Australianism in place of the iconic “like, ever”. On the first night I attended, he said “Yeah nah”, with “Naur” and “Nah mate” on following nights. Fans rallied on TikTok for Saunders to quote The Castle – and on Sydney’s second night (which I also attended), the scream couldn’t have been louder for his perfectly delivered “Tell him he’s dreamin’!” – Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen

A three-hour extravaganza entails some difficult questions: when to hydrate? When to take a bathroom break? What to eat to ensure you do not faint into a sea of 80,000 neighbours? These are tough decisions, but please learn from my mistakes and do not, in your haste, ingest a box of stadium calamari. You will be doubled over in pain for the first 120 minutes.

Luckily, 120 minutes is also the time it takes for Taylor Swift to reach the best song in her oeuvre: the lovelorn ballad August (no follow-up questions please). In certain corners, the phrase “salt air” is sufficient to induce an instant frenzy; hearing it caterwauled at ear-splitting decibels on Sunday’s show in Sydney warded away the last of the stomachache like an ancient ritual. The clouds parted; a bird flapped overhead; my skin cleared. – Michael Sun

Running into the riggers

Look, I’m not saying that Taylor Swift fans all look the same, but if you are at one of her shows and amid a sea of glitter you see a row of grizzled blokes in steel-cap boots standing together watching, you’re going to go over and ask who they are. “Are you roadies?” I asked one of these men at her first Melbourne show.

“We’re the riggers!” he replied.

It explained the proud stepdad energy they were all giving off. Given these guys must have set up thousands of stages and watched thousands of shows in their time, I needed to know: was the Taylor Swift spectacle actually as impressive as it seemed to me? “It is fucking amazing mate,” he said. I don’t think Swift could get a better endorsement than that. – Sian Cain

Breaking Down All of Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' Surprise Song Mash-Ups

Some Swifties have been luckier than others when it comes to the surprise songs set of Taylor Swift 's The Eras Tour .

Since launching her record-breaking tour in March 2023, Swift has used the penultimate section of her show to perform songs across her entire discography that aren't included in the concert's expansive setlist. On occasion, however, Swift has used the portion of the show to debut special mash-ups of her most famous tracks.

Swift began the trend during a November 2023 show in Buenos Aires, combining "Is It Over Now?" and "Out of the Woods" from 1989 (Taylor's Version) . That same month, Swift revealed that she would be breaking her own surprise songs rule of only performing a track once for more of her international Eras Tour dates.

"I decided that in 2024, when we go back on tour, I'm just gonna open back up all the songs for surprise songs," she told fans during a show in São Paulo, Brazil, noting that her entire discography was "fair game."

Rebel Wilson Says 'Incredible' Taylor Swift 'Crushed It' at Sydney Show

Keep scrolling for a guide to every mash-up Swift has performed on The Eras Tour so far:

‘Is It Over Now?' and ‘Out of the Woods'

One month after 1989 (TV) 's October 2023 release, Swift surprised Argentina fans with a mash-up of songs from the album. Swifties immediately made a connection between the two tracks as both are rumored to be about the pop star's ex Harry Styles .

The vault track "Is it Over Now?" features the lyrics, "When you lost control / red blood, white snow." The exes, who were romantically linked from late 2012 to early 2013, famously got into a snowmobile accident in 2012, after which Styles was photographed with a bandage on his chin.

In the song, Swift also sings about sitting in a "blue dress on a boat," a nod to being photographed in a blue dress while on a boat not long after her and Styles' split.

"Out of the Woods," is also speculated to be about Styles and Swift's snowmobile incident, featuring lyrics such as, "Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? / Twenty stitches in the hospital room." The song's lyrics also make reference to the paper airplane necklaces they were each seen wearing during their brief romance.

‘Getaway Car' / ‘August' / ‘The Other Side of the Door'

After beginning to play Reputation 's "Getaway Car" on guitar during a February 2024 concert in Melbourne, Australia, Swift surprised fans by transitioning the tune into "August" from Folklore , which is included in the tour's main setlist. She rounded out the acoustic performance by adding "The Other Side of the Door" from Fearless (Taylor's Version) .

"I want to play one that you really want to hear, I want you to be happy," she told the crowd, per social media footage from the show.

Fans once again were quick to notice a connection between the songs as all three discuss infidelity. The lyrics to "Getaway Car" compare being stuck in a romantic situation with three people to being a "sideshow," while "The Other Side of the Door" asks the question if the other woman in a relationship was "worth the mess" it caused.

"August," meanwhile, is one of three Folklore songs that tells the story of a love triangle, including "Cardigan" and "Betty." The track follows the story from the perspective of a girl named August, with whom a boy named James cheated on his girlfriend Betty.

‘Come Back … Be Here' and ‘Daylight'

For her third Eras Tour concert in Me l bourne , Swift grabbed her guitar to sing a mash-up of "Come Back … Be Here" from Red (Taylor's Version) and "Daylight" from Lover . While "Come Back … Be Here" tells the story of a person hoping to rekindle a broken romance, "Daylight" sees Swift discuss leaving behind the mess of past relationships after seemingly finding her perfect partner.

"And I can still see it all (in my mind) / All of you, all of my (intertwined) / I once believed love would be (black and White) / But it's golden (golden)," Swift sings in "Daylight."

It was during her third Melbourne show that Swift revealed she might repeat surprise songs throughout the remainder of the tour. "I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward, and I don't want to limit anything or say, ‘Oh, if I played this song, I can't play it again,'" she told fans, per social media footage . "So, from now on, I don't want to take any paint colors out of the paintbox [or] tools out of the toolbox."

‘White Horse' and ‘Coney Island'

Swift continued her leg of Australia Eras Tour shows in Sydney. During her first night in the city, Swift brought out her opening act, Sabrina Carpenter , to sing a mash-up of "White Horse" from Fearless (TV) and "Coney Island" from Evermore after Carpenter's performance was canceled due to poor weather.

The lyrics to both songs follow the endings of relationships after the people involved realize their romantic connection was not how they thought it would be or not how it once was.

A Guide to Taylor Swift's ‘Eras Tour' Backup Dancers and Vocalists 

‘Should've Said No' and ‘You're Not Sorry' / ‘Peace' and ‘New Year's Day'

Swift performed her first set of double secret song mash-ups during her second Sydney Eras Tour show in February 2024. She began by combining "Should've Said No" from her self-titled debut album, Taylor Swift , and "You're Not Sorry" from Fearless (TV) on the guitar. Both of the breakup tracks discuss relationships in which one partner was not faithful.

Swift followed up the mash-up by performing Folklore 's "Peace" with Reputation 's "New Year's Day," both of which see the singer analyze her romances. While "Peace" sees Swift question whether her fame is keeping her from maintaining "peace" in a relationship, Swift asks her partner to "please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere" in "New Year's Day."

‘Is It Over Now?' and ‘I Wish You Would' / ‘Haunted' and ‘Exile'

Swift performed another mash-up of 1989 (TV) tunes , "Is It Over Now?" and "I Wish You Would," as her guitar surprise song during Sydney Night 3 . The concert marked the second time Swift used "Is It Over Now?" in a mash-up with another track rumored to be about Styles, having previously done so in Buenos Aires in November 2023.

After performing the upbeat songs on her guitar, Swift headed over the piano to sing a mash-up of "Haunted" from Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and "Exile" from Folklore . On theme with many of Swift's surprise song mash-ups, both breakup tracks tell the story of realizing a relationship was not what it seemed on the surface.

‘Forever & Always' and ‘Maroon' / ‘Would've, Could've, Should've' and ‘Ivy'

For her final night in Sydney, Swift hit fans with two more secret song mash-ups featuring some of her biggest tracks. On piano, Swift performed Fearless (TV) 's "Forever & Always" with Midnight 's "Maroon." For the guitar secret song, she combined Midnight 's "Would've, Could've, Should've" with Evermore 's "Ivy."

The performances seemingly dispelled the theory that Swift performs her most emotional tracks while wearing her yellow surprise songs dress . Swift instead sported the green version of the dress, which she has also worn in maroon and blue, for Sydney Night 4.

Swift's official fan account, Taylor Nation, seemingly confirmed there's no correlation between her surprise songs dress color and the tracks she performs. "#SydneyTSTheErasTour, the past four nights with you have kept us on the edge of our seats! Thanks for bringing *the chant* back and crying with us during the mashups!" they tweeted after the show, adding, "We fear all the dresses now … ."

‘Mine' and ‘Starlight'

Swift performed a mash-up of "Mine" and "Starlight," from Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version) , respectively, during her March 2, 2024, concert in Singapore.

"This has become my favorite part of the show because it's become very chaotic and it's become a challenge for me to think of new things to do for every single city," she said in her introduction . "And hope that I'm doing something that you guys might like. It's been a blast!"

‘I Don't Wanna Live Forever' and ‘Dress'

Swift's second acoustic number on March 2 mashed up "I Don't Wanna Live Forever," her 50 Shades Darker duet with Zayn Malik , and "Dress" from Reputation .

Swift's official Instagram went live to share the performance with her followers, many of whom think it is a clue for the arrival of Reputation (Taylor's Version) . Certain Swifties even pointed out that "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" came out in December, the 12th month of the year, and "Dress" is the 12th song on Reputation 's OG tracklist.

‘Long Story Short' and ‘The Story of Us'

Swift kicked off her March 3, 2024, acoustic set in Singapore with Evermore 's "Long Story Short" on guitar. Her number evolved into a mash-up with "The Story of Us" from Speak Now (Taylor's Version).

‘Clean' and ‘Evermore'

Swift's second surprise song on March 3 combined the 1989 (Taylor's Version) track "Clean" with Evermore from her 2020 album of the same name. The piano mash-up occurred moments after Swift announced the "final edition" of The Tortured Poets Department , which is called "The Black Dog."

"[These are] two songs about healing from a sky that ‘turned black like a perfect storm' and a ‘gray November,'" one X user pointed out about the song choices, quoting the respective lyrics. "This album is about heartbreak, but also about healing."

There are already 4 versions of Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department , an album yet to be released

Taylor swift deploys a classic swiftie sales strategy for tortured poets, one that shot 1989 (taylor's version ) and midnights to success.

Taylor Swift is peddling many versions of The Tortured Poets Department

For Swifties, there’s no such thing as too much of a good thing. They will gratefully take whatever Mother serves and come back for seconds… or thirds, or fourths. There’s a reason why Taylor Swift sells more physical copies of albums than any other contemporary artist. It’s one part incredible business acumen and a thousand parts rabidly loyal fanbase. Such is the recipe behind the release strategy for Swift’s next album, The Tortured Poets Department , debuting April 19.

During her Sunday night Eras Tour performance in Singapore, the singer announced a third variant of TTPD , “The Black Dog,” which she described as the “final new edition” of the album on her Instagram. Each edition of the album she’s announced comes with different cover images, different lyrical teases, and a different bonus track, for which each variant is named: “The Black Dog” (lyric: “Old habits die screaming”), “The Albatross” (lyric: “Am I allowed to cry?”), and “The Bolter” (lyric: “You don’t get to tell me about sad”). That’s on top of the standard edition of the album, which comes with the bonus track “The Manuscript” (lyric: “I love you, it’s ruining my life.”) To make the bonus variants even more enticing, each was only made available on Swift’s website for a limited amount of time. (If you’re reading this on Monday morning, there are two more days to get your hands on “The Black Dog.”)

This is a classic Swiftian tactic and one that few other artists could deploy to such a degree of success. Olivia Rodrigo tried out a similar “bonus version” multi-edition drop for GUTS , but Swift still won the physical release battle in 2023 with 1989 (Taylor’s Version) , which broke the all-time record for the largest sales week on vinyl in U.S. history (per Forbes ). In that case, the tracklisting remained the same, but Swift sold a few different variants with different cover art and unique polaroid images in each copy (these variants were titled “Crystal Skies Blue,” “Rose Garden Pink,” “Aquamarine Green,” and “Sunrise Boulevard Yellow”).

The previous record for the all-time largest sales week on vinyl was held by Swift for 2022’s Midnights , an album that may take the cake for multi-edition gimmicks. Those editions also didn’t have much difference in tracklisting, but had different art for each copy—and if you bought all four variants, you could put them together to make a clock. And if you bought the hardware from the Taylor Swift store, it would be a functioning clock. With vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and digital, the pop star was at one point offering more than 20 different versions of the album, according to Billboard . By the end of the “era,” Midnights had been resold, repackaged, and reconfigured so much that it began to erode the integrity of “the album” as a concept .

The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) is employing a similar tactic

Of course, this is not a brand new strategy for the industry or for Swift herself. Since 2010, she’s had a partnership with Target to offer exclusive editions of her albums with special bonus content. But recently she’s stepped up her game and turned capitalism itself into an art form, particularly since kicking off the re-recording project when she realized slapping “(Taylor’s Version)” on her products wasn’t just a reclamation but a branding opportunity. This strategy extends beyond just her album sales. The Eras Tour concert film first premiered with the blockbuster theatrical version , then an extended edition (with three extra performances, “The Archer,” “Long Live,” and “Wildest Dreams”) available to rent on digital. Later this month, a third version will stream on Disney+. According to the trailer released on Monday, the Taylor’s Version of the Eras Tour film will include the performance of “cardigan” as well as four new acoustic songs (one of them appears to be the Midnights track “Maroon”).

As in most things, Swift’s multi-pronged release strategies make her unique in the industry. Yes, she’s one of the only artists who can pull it off successfully, but she’s also one of the few modern pop stars who doesn’t need all the bells and whistles to sell physical copies. Fans would still line her pockets even without all the variants, as proven by the success of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) , which according to Forbes was the biggest vinyl debut of 2023 (before 1989 TV came out) and didn’t do the multi-cover variant gambit.

So why bother with the bells and whistles at all? Swift knows her fanbase are collectors, and ready to spend their cash, so it’s an easy way to squeeze all of the juice out of every album. Given the shameless pushing of various remixes to get her songs to number one, it’s clear she’s not above a certain amount of ruthlessness when it comes to breaking records and making money. Perhaps that relentless ruthlessness in the Taylor’s Version era comes from her feelings of being “canceled” in 2016. Back then, Swift was sure her career was being taken away. She knows that the tide can turn at any moment, so it only makes sense to make hay while the sun shines. We’ll just see if she stops at four Tortured Poets variants, or if the department has more in store for the future.
