Taylor Swift Eras tour: What to know as singer takes over NRG Stadium for 3 days

It turns out Taylor Swift has Houston ties. Her mom, Andrea, is a University of Houston alum.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- When Taylor Swift wrapped three historic shows in Arlington, Texas, she became the first artist to play three nights at AT &T Stadium.

The next stop on her "The Eras Tour" was Tampa, and now, it's Houston's turn to show up bejeweled, breathless, and ready to belt out "Champagne Problems." Go ahead, see how many T-Swift song references you can find in this story.

But with each show, social media has been flooded with pro tips on what to know, with one article calling the event "a marathon and not a sprint," complete with health tips (yes, really!) for staying hydrated.

When and where are the Houston shows?

The Taylor Takeover is here. Swift will perform three shows April 21-23 at NRG Stadium.

NRG says that the same timeline of events will be in place for each show.

12 p.m. - NRG Park parking lots open

12 p.m. - Merchandise available inside secured perimeter

4:30 p.m. - All stadium gates open

6:30 p.m. - Concert begins

Still, you likely won't see Swift take the stage until much later. There are two special guests, beabadoobee, a Filipina-British singer, and Gracie Abrams, who is based out of Los Angeles and is the daughter of "Star Wars" director J.J. Abrams.

What can I bring and not bring inside NRG Stadium?

Well, fans, get ready for it. If you were dying to have Swift see your gigantic homemade poster praising her music or anything else, you're going to have to keep it at home.

The following items are a no-go:

  • Refillable water bottles
  • Lights and external battery packs
  • Large signs over 11" x 17"
  • Outside food and beverage
  • Banners or poles
  • No gifts or flowers
  • No large electronic devices
  • Clothing, costumes or personal effects that may impede the view of those around you
  • No professional cameras, including any with a detachable lens
  • No camera accessories (selfie sticks, GoPros, tripods, etc.)
  • No professional video or audio recording equipment

If that list left you feeling like there's nothing left but blank space, you should be pleased to know NRG is a fan of friendship bracelets.

You can bring:

  • Portable phone chargers no larger than a credit card
  • Friendship bracelets that may be worn or placed inside your clear bag. Bracelets, however, may not contain lights
  • Medically necessary items after proper inspection

Another interesting note: NRG said the roof will be closed. So much for flying in like Lady Gaga!

What if I still don't have tickets?

Yeah, about that. Well, all hope is not lost, but fans know all too well that you should be prepared to shell out some cash if you find them on sites like StubHub or SeatGeek.

In fact, for the Saturday show in Houston, a couple floor seats on SeatGeek are going for $2,532 each, while another search of the site has seats going for $593 apiece in Section 615 with a limited view at that.

Still, a check of StubHub on Friday morning showed seats for under $500. That's good news, right?! There might be some bad news, though. Ready for it? They are all limited or obstructed view, but at least you'd be in the house!

A study by Finance Buzz found that the best time to buy resale tickets is just before the show. The day before a show, the cost drops 27% below average. Day of, it drops 33% below average.

What time does the Taylor Swift concert end?

You might as well rest up, save your energy, and drink plenty of water. It's said Swift performs 44 songs for three hours. Again, it starts at 6:30 p.m., but there are two other performers.

In fact, some fans have recommended the best times to take bathroom breaks or visit the merchandise line.

For example, Barstool Sports "Chicks In the Office" said they've heard that "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" is a good time to make a run for it, while other fans say they have no plans of budging.

Swift's show has already impressed some of the most famous of faces, including former Houston Texan JJ Watt.

"There was no intermission. And she was singing, dancing, entertaining the entire time. Seventy thousand people hanging on every move she was making for three hours and 15 minutes. She crushed it. She didn't even look tired," Watt said. "I was tired, and I was just sitting there."

"Just the sheer mental, physical, emotional toll that this has to take on your body. To be able to do that night after night after night. City after city," Watt continued. "My hat's off to Taylor. She never took a break."

Are there any surprises?

Swift has confirmed that she'll perform surprise songs every night of the tour. In Arlington, the only Texas stop before Houston, fans said she performed "Sad Beautiful and Tragic" and "Ours" on night one, "Death By a Thousand Cuts" and "Clean" on night two, and "Jump Then Fall" and "The Lucky One" on night three.

It might also be a time to celeb watch.

Actress and longtime Swift bestie Selena Gomez went to the Arlington show with her younger sister.

What should I wear?

You may want to keep up with Swift's costume changes, but fans who have already been to the show advise you should do so comfortably.

That means consider wearing comfortable shoes or if you want to wear heels, bring a pair of flip flops that'll fit in your bag. More on the bag in a moment.

Not surprisingly, a constant theme is sequins and sparkles. Also spotted in the crowd: tulle and cowboy boots, which many Houstonians might already have handy because the rodeo recently wrapped up.

Full-blown lists are dedicated to each *ahem* era of Swift.

NRG has a clear bag policy. What's that about?

So back to the bag. Don't expect to get into NRG Stadium with a tote, or else you'll probably have some bad blood with security who will make you turn around and put it back in your car.

The venue's clear bag policy will be in effect, which means each fan can only carry one bag that is clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC no larger than 12" by x 6" x 12" or a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).

You can also carry a small clutch purse no larger than 4.5" x 6.5", approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap.

For the full list of bag guidelines, visit the NRG Park website .

Where do I park?

Be prepared to pay up for parking, but keep your literal Benjamins in the bank. Parking is $40 per space at the gate and NRG Park is cashless, so only electronic or card payment will be accepted. Apple and Google Pay are also options.

The following lots will be open: Orange, red, blue, yellow, green, purple. And remember, parking lots open at noon each day.

ADA parking will be available in the Blue Lot. Rideshare drop off and pick up will be available in the Yellow Lot. Parent drop off and pick up will be available in the Green Lot.

If you'd rather ride the METRORail in, there are routes near and around the complex.

What should I know about traffic?

It might be rough. NRG is encouraging fans, and probably anyone in the area even if they don't go to the concerts, to plan ahead.

For starters, there will be closures along the west side of the stadium. The biggest closure is happening on Kirby between McNee and I-610 from 7 p.m. to midnight

If you want to avoid the crowd, go to the Fannin south lot for METRO and take the rail to the venue.

What's this about Swift's Houston ties?

It turns out, Swift's trip to Houston isn't just another tour stop.

She has some deep ties to the city as her mom, Andrea, graduated from Memorial High School and is a University of Houston alum.

Swift made a "very sizable donation" in honor of her mother to the Houston Food Bank after Hurricane Harvey .

Swift will have ties to NRG Stadium, at least temporarily.

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced that the home of the Houston Texans would be called NRG Stadium (Taylor's Version) as a nod to the singer while she's in town, similar to what other cities have done during her tour stops. Expect to see banners for the renaming as well.

Should I wait in line for merch?

One fan claims that about 90% of the merchandise she saw for sale at the show in Arlington was online, but there were some unique hoodies that were not spotted on the website.

If you're patient, you might as well line up and expect it to be long.

Fans say that a line in Las Vegas stretched for about a mile. You can scan through the official gear online , where you can grab anything from $45 t-shirts to a passport holder and nail gems.

Fans also advise timing out your trip to buy merch in much the way you would a bathroom break.

But remember, you can start buying merchandise as early as noon each day of the concert.

Fans lined up on Thursday, the first day there was a merchandise truck, and the item that went the fastest was a blue crewneck for $65.

Prices for items range from $15 to $75. Gear is expected to be restocked each day.

One fan, Sarah Badillo, got two of the crewnecks.

"My sister and I drove in from College Station last night and camped out since 2 a.m., so it's a relief. Now we can go eat," Badillo said, adding that she has tickets for each night of the show.

How about the setlist?

This is what we've found so far. Plan accordingly, and perhaps most important, have fun!

Tell them how the crowds went wild: Taylor Swift fans in Texas are ready for the Eras Tour

eras tour houston tickets

Taylor Swift is touring again, and it’s hard to overemphasize how big a deal this is for her fan base.

Swift hasn’t toured since 2018, and in the five years since she has released four new albums and re-recorded several of her older albums with new songs added.

Six of the first dozen or so shows of Swift’s Eras Tour will be in Texas – three this weekend at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, and three in late April at NRG Stadium in Houston – and fans are beyond ready for the pop star to come back to the Lone Star State.

Swifties are very loyal, and part of their dedication comes from how long they have been listening. Cara Gustafson, a 31-year-old Austinite who has tickets for Houston, says she’s been listening to Swift for almost half her life and knows every song.

“I just feel like she’s just been such a part of my life,” she said. “For every phase of my life and every album I can think of where I was when it came out and where I was at that time in my life.”

For longtime fans like her, the Eras Tour is extra special: Swift is playing music from across all 10 of her albums – taking concertgoers through all the eras of her career.

Swift, like any public figure, has plenty of naysayers – people who think her music is cheesy or basic, or feel like she’s overrated. Some conservative listeners were upset when she threw her support behind Democratic candidates in 2018, while others on the left complain that her activism feels insufficient.

The fans I talked to were well aware of all this but say their love for Swift goes much deeper than the back-and-forth over her politics or which awards she’s won. Indeed, it goes deeper than simply thinking her music is fun to listen to. They described how Swift has been the backdrop for moments big and small in their lives – moments when they felt understood or empowered – as well as really big changes and hard times.

Childhood memories of ‘a safe space’

Michelle Pitcher, who grew up in Coppell and now lives in Austin, remembers one of those little moments.

“I actually distinctly remember being in middle school on a field trip, listening to her ‘Fearless’ album in headphones and staring out the window of the bus and pretending I was in a music video,” she said. “So she’s been with me for a while.”

Katie Wilson’s first-ever concert was Swift in 2011.

Katie Wilson, left, and her sister, Keylee Slough, at Taylor Swift’s Reputation stadium tour in Arlington in 2018.

“I was literally, like, just so elated,” said Wilson, who grew up in Lubbock. “It’s also kind of a sentimental thing like for me, because when I was a junior in high school, my mom died, and so me and my mom went to that concert when I was in the sixth grade. And so it was just kind of like a great moment for me and her. I’ll always cherish that forever.”

For Hope Lenamon, who grew up outside of Waco and now lives in Austin, Swift gave her a way to fit in. Lenamon, 26, remembers the first time she noticed a Swift song.

“I was in the backseat of my dad’s old pickup truck. He was driving me and my sister home from school,” she said. “And I remember hearing ‘Our Song’ come on the radio and kind of immediately becoming obsessed with it.”

Lenamon was about 12 when this happened, around the same time she started noticing something about herself.

“That’s kind of when I started figuring out like, oh, I don’t look at boys the way other girls look at boys. It was kind of rough being a closeted queer kid in rural Texas … and it was really nice to be able to sing along to Taylor Swift songs,” she said. “A lot of her songs aren’t super gendered, and so I could be thinking of my crush from eighth-period athletics, on the eighth-grade volleyball star, but it sounded like I was singing about boys just like all the other girls my age … It kind of gave me a safe space to experiment with ideas of love and longing.”

Lenamon is attending two shows, one in Arlington and one in Houston, and is excited to go with her best friend from college. The two bonded over their love for Swift, and they stay up late for all the album releases, but they have never been to a show together.

A family event

Andrew Ledbetter is also excited to attend a Taylor Swift concert with his loved ones: his wife and two daughters.

“To get to go to the tour and get to see that and to celebrate that live with the people I enjoy most in the world, that also appreciate Taylor Swift, too,” he said. “Oh yeah, I’m really excited about it.”

Ledbetter is in his 40s and teaches communication studies at Texas Christian University. He is the first to admit he might not look like your typical Swiftie, but he is committed .  He said one of the things he loves about the star’s music is that there’s a song for whatever mood you’re in.

“If it’s a happy, upbeat mood, maybe I go to something from ‘Lover.’ It’s more reflective, I can go to something from ‘Folklore,’” he said. “If I just want to kind of remember nostalgia, when I first began to enjoy Taylor Swift, I can go to ‘Fearless’ or I can go to ‘Speak Now’ or something like that.”

Ledbetter has a page on his website where he ranks all of Swift’s songs . His outfit for the show is a custom-made T-shirt with his top 10 songs and a QR code to the site.

And he’s far from the only person I talked to who’s made a custom shirt for the event – what you wear to a Swift concert is a big deal. Some people are spending hours on homemade costume pieces, painting jean jackets or putting jewels on their clothes. Fans talked about wanting to go all-out for Swift and celebrate the music in a stadium of other people who are just as excited and dressed up as they are. Many concertgoers are picking an “era” to dress as, matching the aesthetic of their favorite album.

Fans bonding over traditions new and old

There is a sense that these concerts are bringing communities together, and not just locally. Many people are flying in to shows from other cities. Several videos have surfaced of planefuls of Swifties having sing-alongs en route .

And there are traditions for the Eras Tour that fans established before the first song was even sung. Many are making dozens of friendship bracelets to bring and exchange with strangers. People are also painting Taylor’s lucky number 13 on their hands and writing lyrics on their arms.

But Pitcher says that what’s more important than this tour is what Swift’s music has done for her throughout her life.

“I’ve always been able to return to some Taylor Swift song that makes me feel like seen emotionally, makes my emotions feel validated. It’s catharsis singing in the car,” she said. “She’s been around for much of my formative years. And, you know, she’s just like a friend at this point. She’s a pal. And I just really appreciate what she’s done and how she’s there for everyone.”

And at the six upcoming concerts in Texas, Swift’s fans are going to be there for her right back – at least those who were lucky enough to get tickets .

A year of the Eras Tour: A look back at Taylor Swift's record-breaking show

eras tour houston tickets

One year ago, the crowd in Glendale, Arizona, erupted into a massive cheer in State Farm Stadium when Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" began playing and the backdrop screen transitioned to a countdown clock starting at 2:24.

None of the Swifties who traveled from all over the state of Arizona and the nation, dressed to the nines as one of her 10 eras, knew the tour would be three-plus hours. The fan screaming next to me from Pennsylvania who bought a ticket on StubHub.com for about $400 didn't know that we would go era-by-era through a 44-song track list. I don't think the singer, herself, knew when she hid inside a cleaning cart wheeled backstage, that her show would lead to a billion-dollar enterprise, Time magazine person of the year and an inundation of friendship bracelets. I didn't know the behemoth success following the Eras Tour star would send me packing from Phoenix to Nashville, Tennessee, to become the inaugural Taylor Swift reporter.

Swift's dancers flowed onto the stage through fog with pink, purple and orange parachute flaps. A compilation of songs from Swift's 10 albums — or eras — played as "it's been a long time coming" boomed into the stadium. Goosebumps covered the arms of thousands and tears cascaded down cheeks as the flaps revealed Miss Americana rising to begin her "Lover" set.

Eighty three shows later, here's a look back at the unprecedented tour that set a Guinness World Record . And fair warning, like her tour this article is an extensive rollercoaster.

Swept up in the hype, the world became Taylor Nation. Glendale, "Erazona ," was renamed "Swift City." Las Vegas lit up its arches in all 10 era colors. Arlington, Texas, dubbed one of its streets "Taylor Swift Way." Tampa, Florida, gave Swift a key to the city and invited her to be an honorary mayor. Houston renamed its venue "NRG Stadium (Taylor’s Version)."

Nashville, Tennessee, dedicated a bench in Centennial Park to the hometown singer. A Philadelphia radio station, 96.5 FM (WTDY), renamed itself Ninety-Swift-Five W-T-A-Y. Gov. Philip D. Murphy dubbed the "Taylor Swift ham, egg and cheese sandwich" the "state sandwich of New Jersey." Chicago lit up the top of Willis Tower in her album colors. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey renamed his city "Swiftie-apolis," and Santa Clara, California, Mayor Lisa Gillmor switched the city's name to "Swiftie Clara."

Internationally, fans in Brazil caught the attention of Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes and Father Omar, the rector of the Christ the Redeemer Sanctuary, who arranged to project a  "Junior Jewels" inspired T-shirt  onto the Christ the Redeemer statue. Flinders Station in Melbourne , Australia, flashed a wallpaper glaze of lights to welcome the Eras star. Singapore painted the Marina Bay Sands Resort all colors of vibrant lights.

It's a cruel summer with you

All four seasons met the fifteen dancers, four backup singers, six bandmates and hundreds of production and crew members, adding unpredictable weather to the mix. Mother Nature danced in a lightning storm to "Fearless" in Tampa and made the song "Midnight Rain" a reality in Nashville . Rain poured through the open-roofed stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where Swift pushed puddles forming on her piano . The Swiftie fandom created its own natural phenomenon in Seattle after a seismologist registered a 2.3 magnitude earthquake on her Richter scale.

The intense heat in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, caused Swift to throw water bottles to fans and temporarily halt her show. Ana Clara Benevides Machado, 23, passed out and died of heat exhaustion. The heartbreaking news prompted changes at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos to allow fans access to water. Swift invited Benevides' family to her concert in São Paulo.

I want you to think of the memories made

Swift incorporated custom messages into each tour stop. At her international destinations, she welcomed fans in their custom languages. "Bienvenidos al Eras Tour," she said in Mexico City before hoisting her hands in the air. While donning either her pink or blue guitar before the title track of "Lover," she commonly announced the stadium attendance often record-breaking.

Outside of stadiums, thousands "Taylorgated," or showed up without a ticket to hear Swift's beats and dance on the concrete. Tens of thousands more logged on to watch livestreams from fans with tickets who agreed to spend concert time holding up their mobile devices in a tricep-burning position.

The number of viewers would jump before the "Champagne Problems" speech and acoustic set. To keep things fun and interesting each night, fans filled out "Swiftball" ballots guessing the singer's outfits from four "Lover" bodysuits and accompanying "The Man" jackets, three "Fearless" dresses, two "Evermore" dresses, six "Speak Now" gowns, three bedazzled "22" shirts, five "Folkore" dresses, four "1989" crop top and skirt combos, six "Midnights" T-shirt dresses, three "Midnight Rain" body suits and four "Karma" faux fur jackets. To see how many times the Eras star wore each outfit, check out the "Data Swiftie."

For fans who wanted to get alerts to watch the shows without having to calculate time changes, Swift Alert became the app for that .

Double clap, audience chants

A secret language formed between fans and Swift as new traditions popped up along the tour. The four lines fans screamed at the top of their lungs, no matter the city or country, were "cause shade never made anybody less gay" in "You Need To Calm Down," "what a shame she's f----d in the head" in "Champagne Problems," "f--- the patriarchy" in "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" and "don't call me kid, don't call me baby" in "Illicit Affairs."

Swift started every show strong with a very important question: Did her fans know the bridge to "Cruel Summer?" "Prove it!" she'd yell at some stops and the audience would, every single time, bellow, "I'm drunk in the back of the car." For "The Archer," fans printed and dispersed signs that read, "We will stay," to hold up when Swift asks, "Who would stay?"

In the "Fearless" era, fans double clapped with "13" drawn on the back of their hands in the middle of the bridge to "You Belong With Me." A trend of marriage proposals during "Love Story" picked up during the 2024 leg with partners popping the question as Swift sang, "He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring."

During "Marjorie," Swifties turned their phone flashlights on in tribute to Swift's grandma. Fans started timing the standing ovation and ear-shattering applause after "Champagne Problems." Livestreamers, like Tess Bohne , would display a clock and fans guessed if the cheers would surpass one, two or three minutes.

A snake shape slithered through the light-up braceklets handed out before the show at the start of the "Reputation" era. Fans yelled "1, 2, 3, let's go b----" before the first verse of "Delicate" as Swift counts on her fingers. Later in the song, Swift sings, "Do the girls back home touch you like I do?" and fans reply, "No, they don't." On rare occasion, Swift would let out a three-note riff during her "Don't Blame Me" belt.

After rereleasing her third album, the "Speak Now" singer added "Long Live" to the set list, bringing the total to 45 tracks. In the first verse when she croons "the crowds and stands went wild," the crowd indeed went wild.

In the "Red" era, Swift crowned a deserving fan with a black fedora during "22." They were typically children, but one adult Swiftie was crowned in Melbourne . Dancer Kameron Saunders had the only speaking line on the tour besides Swift during her song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." He said "like ever" at the American shows, but when the tour went international, he switched up the phrase each night. And yes, we track that. Swift knew all too well each crowd had "10 minutes to spare," and she played her longest song, in total, for about 14 hours.

She was only tied to the "Invisible String" for five shows and traded the opening "Folklore" era number to "The 1" in Arlington, before news of her split from actor Joe Alwyn . She brought "Invisible String" back for one night in Nashville because the Tennessee capital is home to Centennial Park. Nashvillians also noticed that Swift switched a note during "The 1" lyric "you meet a woman on the internet and take her home." She kept the key change for every succeeding show.

Right before the first lyric of "Style" during the "1989" set, fans began a tradition of saying, "What time is it?" to which the singer replied, "Midnight, you come and pick me up." In Sydney, Australia, a "Blank Space" chant from the 1989 World Tour was reborn and repeated in Singapore. Taylor Nation, Swift's marketing team, tweeted that it hopes fans at every tour stop going forward shout their city. In Philadelphia, a "Bad Blood" remix originated when Swift noticed a security guard hassling a fan . "She's fine. She wasn't doing anything. Hey! Stop! Hey, stop!" became the cool thing to say after, "It's so sad to think about the good times, you and I." Fans also incorporated a Kendrick Lamar line from the "Bad Blood" remix: "You forgive, you forget, but you never let it go."

And then came the surprise set . (More on her collaborators and announcements below.) Each night, Swift performed one song on the guitar and one on the piano that she hadn't yet performed on the tour. That is until 2024, when she added mashups and threw out her rule of never repeating songs. At the end of the set, she swan dives into a hole in the stage. Fans later caught a red light that turned green to signal it was safe to jump.

After meeting her at "Midnights," fans sang Jack Antonoff's version of "Anti-Hero." When Swift sings "tale as old as time," the crowd chimes in, "Taylor, you'll be fine." Tyler Conroy made a viral video of him screaming , "Where you going Taylor?" during "Bejeweled" before she sings, "I'm going out tonight," and the trend caught on like a blaze ripping through the Lover house. Finally, after Swift changed the lyrics to, "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs," in Argentina with her boyfriend Travis Kelce in the crowd, that became the standard for fans. She has only sang it that way four times, when he was in attendance in Buenos Aires, Sydney and Singapore.

If you would direct your attention to the back screen

In addition to boosting economies everywhere she went, Swift created an abundance of news. She announced "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" in Nashville. She announced a new version of "Midnights" and premiered the "Karma (Remix)" music video featuring Ice Spice as the upstart rapper joined Swift in East Rutherford, New Jersey. She released "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" right before her Kansas City, Missouri, stop and then debuted the "I Can See You" music video starring Taylor Lautner and Joey King who were at the show. Lautner backflipped on the catwalk.

It might have seemed strange that Swift ended the American leg of her tour on a Wednesday in Los Angeles, but not to the eagle-eyed Swiftie who realized the date was 8/9. That's the day she announced the rerecording of her fifth album, "1989 (Taylor's Version)." The album came out during her break before her Argentina tour dates. It topped the Billboard charts and allowed her to bypass Elvis for the most weeks with an album at No. 1.

Then, she announced her 11th album, "The Tortured Poets Department," at the Grammys after winning her 13th career award. At her tour stops in Melbourne, Sydney and Singapore, she revealed there were four total versions of "Tortured Poets" and told fans they would get a different bonus track on each one : "The Manuscript," "The Bolter," "The Albatross" and "The Black Dog."

Welcome to the acoustic set

One of the most anticipated portions of an Eras Tour show is the acoustic set. At most of the concerts, she only spoke before the guitar song. In rare instances, she tested the microphone before the piano song and made an announcement.

Occasionally she invited collaborators to join her onstage. Marcus Mumford surprised fans in Las Vegas to play "Cowboy Like Me." Her co-producer and close friend Aaron Dessner from The National joined her six times on stage, in Tampa (twice), Nashville, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Santa Clara. Jack Antonoff came out to play "Getaway Car" in New Jersey. Maren Morris did a "You All Over Me" duet in Chicago. When their opening acts were canceled for weather, Gracie Abrams performed "I Miss You, I'm Sorry" and Sabrina Carpenter sang a dyad mashup of "White Horse" and "Coney Island."

Some of the surprise songs came with hidden messages. Fans speculated she sang "Bigger Than The Whole Sky" as an ode to a fan who died , "End Game" to Travis Kelce watching her show from the VIP tent and "Gold Rush" as a congratulations to Jason Kelce for retiring. She has performed "You're On Your Own Kid" five times, in Tampa, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Tokyo and Singapore.

And he never thinks of me, except when I'm on TV

To close out the first year of the Eras Tour, Swift released the third film version of her concert to streaming service Disney+. This version included "Cardigan" and four acoustic songs: "Maroon," "Death By A Thousand Cuts," "You Are In Love" and "I Can See You."

The second version came out on Swift's birthday, Dec. 13. Fans could rent it for 48 hours at a price of $19.89, and it included "The Archer," "Wildest Dreams" and "Long Live" cut from the original movie.

The original movie was released Oct. 13, in the middle of the Hollywood strikes. Swift did what studios and streaming services were unable to: make a deal with SAG-AFTRA. She worked with the unions and was able to market and show her movie how she saw fit. The film made more than $250 million globally and got her nominated for a Golden Globe award .

Would you be interested in one more song?

If you're still with me on this walk down Eras Tour Lane, it's important to make one final note before the tour resumes in Paris in May. Before her magnum opus took off higher than the "Bad Blood" flames, Swift chose "Mirrorball" and "Tim McGraw" to be her very first surprise songs. She ended year one with the same two songs, but flipped the instruments she played them on in a full-circle moment.

Her new album will come out April 19 and the full Eras Tour is streaming on Disney+, which begs the question: What her show will look like come Paris? She has a two-month break before 69 shows scheduled for Europe and North America. She also has two rerecords left to release: "Reputation (Taylor's Version)" and her self-titled debut album.

If there's one thing any Swiftie knows, it's Taylor Swift's ability to make news and create lasting memories through her record-shattering tour. What a first year; on to year two!

After breaking box office records in the fall, Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” film will finally stream on Disney+ this week with four bonus acoustic songs. The film was previously made available to rent digitally on the streamer in December, and will now arrive for streaming on March 14.

Since the “Eras Tour” film was shot during Swift’s three-night residency at L.A.’s SoFi Stadium, it was already expected that the other bonus tunes included would be the three remaining acoustic “surprise songs” she performed: “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” “You Are in Love” and “I Can See You.”

The film marks another historic milestone for the pop star, becoming the highest-grossing film in box office history among concert and documentary films. It earned more than $261.6 million globally, unseating previous record holder “Michael Jackson’s This Is It.”

Meanwhile, Swift is still traveling the world for her ongoing “Eras Tour,” during which she’s used the stages to make periodic announcements about her upcoming album”The Tortured Poets Department.” She’s announced four limited special editions of her upcoming album, each featuring a previously unannounced song and cover art.

Eric Church Closes Out RodeoHouston 2024 in Most Fitting Fashion

Clint Hale March 18, 2024 6:35AM

Eric Church closed out a stacked RodeoHouston 2024 concert season with a rousing performance on Sunday night at NRG Stadium.

In many ways, Eric Church was the absolute spot-on choice to close out the RodeoHouston 2024 concert season. After all, this year’s concert lineup featured icons like Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley and Luke Bryan, up-and-comers like Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson and Hardy and a mishmash of genres like hip-hop (50 Cent, Bun B), rock (Nickelback) and pop (Jonas Brothers). It was easily one of the stronger concert lineups RodeoHouston ever assembled, so it was fitting that Church – one of the most appreciated, and still, somewhat underrated  artists of the modern era – closed out such a stacked concert season before a jam-packed house at NRG Stadium on Sunday night. The only problem, albeit a good one? We could have used about two more hours. Church’s live shows are legendary, three-hour affairs that run the gamut of rock, melancholy, hits and, at time, an outright jam band. All of these features were on display Sunday night, though it felt somewhat abbreviated because, well, it was. Again, a good problem to have. Nevertheless, Church took the stage and blared through a 12-song, hourlong set that somehow managed to cover one of the greatest country catalogs of the modern era. That included the old – “How ‘Bout You,” Church’s first hit single – and the new – “Heart on Fire,” one of his more recent country hits. The highlight of the show came toward the end when Church played the wistful “Record Year,” arguably one of the greatest country breakup songs of the past 20 years, followed by the more up-tempo and slightly comedic “Cold One,” also arguably one of the greatest country breakup songs of the past 20 years. By the time Church followed that with the show-closing “These Boots,” “Smoke a Little Smoke” and the iconic “Springsteen,” those who said to hell with rodeo traffic and stuck around to see Church ride off in the customary Ford pickup truck serenaded him with a standing ovation. “Let him know you want him back here at RodeoHouston,” the announcer beckoned. It would be our pleasure.
