Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour
Taylor Swift embarks on her highly-anticipated Eras Tour. Best believe she’s still bejeweled.

After a highly unfortunate six-year hiatus from touring (primarily the fault of the COVID-19 pandemic), Taylor Swift returns to the stage to deliver her highly anticipated Eras Tour with even the most casual of Swifties excited and vying to get tickets. She began her tour with a first stop in Glendale, Arizona—or temporarily, “Swift City.”
The tour boasts a setlist of 44 songs lasting three hours, thoroughly satisfying a record-breaking crowd of over 69,000 attendees, beating out Madonna’s previous 36-year-old record of 62,000. It truly is an endurance test, and how Swift can maintain energy for three hours for so many shows is beyond most artists.
After only being able to interact with Swift through social media, fans were happy to hear Swift’s rumored disdain for her ninth album “Evermore” was nothing more than a TikTok fad, as she proclaimed her love for her work. However fans of her third album, “Speak Now,” seemed to be left hanging with only the track “Enchanted” being performed. But given the show's length, most fans should be left extremely satisfied.
Already having broken several records just a few nights in, Swift’s tour could stand to break a multitude more. She has even broken her own record for the biggest streaming day on Spotify. This just goes to show how much of a powerhouse Swift is. Every career move she makes seems to break records and attract millions of fans. It is still easy to say that Taylor Swift is the music industry.
