The Eras Tour is the ongoing sixth worldwide concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The tour is in support of all of Swift's studio albums, with emphasis on her most recent albums: Lover (2019), Folklore (2020), Evermore (2020), Midnights (2022), and The Tortured Poets Department (2024).

Background[]

Pre-sale codes were released for UK tour dates on Monday, October 17, 2022, paired with the purchase of a copy of Midnights.

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

ā€œ Iā€™m enchanted to announce my next tour: Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, a journey through the musical eras of my career (past and present!) The first leg of the tour will be in stadiums across the US, with international dates to be announced as soon as we can! Feeling like the luckiest person alive because I get to take these brilliant artists out on tour with me: Paramore, beabadoobee, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in red, MUNA, HAIM, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams and OWENN. I canā€™t WAIT to see your gorgeous faces out there. Itā€™s been a long time coming. ā€

ā€”Taylor Swift

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

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

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

On May 27, 2024, Swift announced that three out of the 8 London Eras Tour dates would feature, METTE, Griff, and Benson Boone preforming as openers along with Paramore.[1]

Stage[]

The stage for The Eras Tour is a long catwalk going approximately halfway through the floor section (depending on the stadiumā€™s size) with a diamond in the middle, leaving space for Swift and her dancers to perform, and forming a T shape at the end.

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

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

Surprise songs[]

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

Trivia[]

  • This is Swift's second all-stadium tour.
  • Swift uses "In Ha Mood" by Ice Spice, "Applause" by Lady Gaga, and "You Don't Own Me" by Dusty Springfield as her entrance songs.
  • On May 5, 2023, Swift announced the release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version).
  • Midnights (The Late Night Edition) CDs, when announced, were made exclusively available for those at the East Rutherford shows (May 26ā€“28). However, they were also made available to the subsequent shows.
  • On May 13th, 2023, the second show in Philadelphia, Taylor yelled at a security guard for harassing a group of fans while she was singing "Bad Blood." According to one of them, the guard kept telling them to stop dancing and calm down, before Taylor came to their defense by yelling things like "She wasn't doing anything!" and "Hey, stop!" The guard was then escorted out and Taylor gave the group free tickets to the third night of the show. This has also been made an inside joke and some fans chant "Hey stop!" during the song, and Taylor herself alluded to the incident from when there were the puzzles to figure out the 1989 vault, and one of the answers to the hint 'bad blood' was 'She wasn't doing anything!'.
  • Swift premiered the music video for "Karma" (featuring Ice Spice) before the first surprise song, "Getaway Car," during night one of the East Rutherford shows on May 26, 2023.
  • During the last show in Foxborough, Swift performed the second surprise song, "Red", on her guitar because the piano wasn't working after the previous rain show.
  • Swift premiered the music video for "I Can See You" before the first surprise song, "Never Grow Up," during night one of the Kansas shows on July 7, 2023. She also brought out Taylor Lautner, Joey King, and Presley Cash, all of whom starred in the music video.
  • On August 9, 2023, Swift announced the release of 1989 (Taylor's Version).
  • On November 17, 2023, the first show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a fan named Ana Clara Benevides died because of dehydration and high temperatures and the extreme heat wave in the city while waiting to make her way into the concert venue, generating a lot of commotion. The show set for the following day (November 18th) was postponed to November 20th due to the high temperatures. Upon her return, she sang a heartfelt rendition of "Bigger Than The Whole Sky" in tribute to Benevides, and Swift invited Benevides' family to meet her at the show, covered the cost of the trip, and made a donation to her parents.[18]
  • Taylor revealed on February 7, 2024 she was originally going to announce her 11th album The Tortured Poets Department at that show in Tokyo if she didn't win a Grammy. Then on February 16, February 23, and March 3, 2024, Taylor revealed the three additional variants of The Tortured Poets Department, titled "The Bolter", "The Albatross" and "The Black Dog".
  • On June 23, 2024, Travis Kelce made an appearance before "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart".
  • On August 1, 2024, a moment of silence was held in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising prior to Paramore's set.
  • The August 8-10, 2024 shows in Vienna were cancelled by government officials due to planned terrorist attacks.
  • On August 20, 2024, Swift premiered the music video for "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" after "Karma".
  • Florence Welch joined Swift on stage together to perform their song "Florida!!!" before "Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?" in the eighth show in London, despite many fans speculating this song was going to be performed in Miami, Florida.
