Even though she’s now playing in a lot of big stadiums, Taylor’s goal for this tour was to create a more intimate and personal concert experience for every single fan attending. It worked, with one reviewer saying this show was unlike anything they had ever seen! SURPRISE SONGS Taylor swapped out ‘You Are in Love’ for different songs at two of her shows. In Brisbane she busted out ‘Mine’ instead, and during the third Melbourne show she played ‘Long Live’.

ULTIMATE THROWBACK Sabrina is the opening act for all four shows at Foro Sol, August 24-27. For her intro, a clip of nine-year-old Sabrina singing ‘Picture to Burn’ that she uploaded to her YouTube channel way back in August 2009, is played. If that’s not manifesting, we don’t know what is! HISTORICAL MOMENT She’s performed all over the globe but this was Taylor’s first time touring Mexico City! In honour of this historical occasion, she played fan-favourite song ‘Cornelia Street’ for the first time EVER on The Eras tour as one of the surprise songs. ‘I Forgot You Existed’ and ‘Sweet Nothing’ were also played for the first time during this tour too! Taylor will be back in South America to play in Argentina and Brazil from November 10 and…

Kelsea Ballerini Sparkly pop perfection with a sprinkle of country twang? Check! Sweet love songs and spicy breakup bops? Check! Seal of approval from Taylor herself? Double check! In fact, Kelsea once said that Tay refers to her as a "lil sis". A Kelsea Ballerini song would never go out of style on a T-Swift playlist. Gracie Abrams Swifties who have been following The Eras World Tour with a close eye should instantly recognise this gal. She’s one of the opening acts for the American shows, which means she was handpicked by Taylor herself. During one of the tour dates, Gracie wasn't able to perform her set due to the rain so Taylor invited her on-stage later on to sing her track 'Miss You'. “She’s one of my favourite friends…

Sparks were flying when everyone found out Taylor would be bringing her Speak Now World Tour to Australia and New Zealand in March 2012. This would be Tay’s first time performing for her Kiwi Swifties. To make the year even sweeter, our fave singer visited Australia again in November for the ARIAs! ARM ART During the North American and Australia/New Zealand legs of the tour, Taylor wrote lyrics and quotes on her left arm, which she called her "nightly mood ring". A SPOT OF SIGHTSEEING While Taylor was Down Under in March, she checked out the iconic Bondi Beach with her brother Austin and St Kilda Beach with some friends, cruised around Sydney Harbour, and went shopping in Melbourne. 2012 ARIA MUSIC AWARDS Tay was back in November to perform…

We all know the basic Taylor facts: her middle name is Alison, and she grew up on a Christmas tree farm. Because of this epic childhood, Taylor has an “unnatural level of excitement” about Christmas. “My friends are so sick of me … they’re like ‘What are you, an elf?’” Honestly, relatable. So it’s not surprising that Tay released a holiday EP, including festive bops 'White Christmas' and 'Silent Night'. There’s also a cover of the smash-hit 'Last Christmas' a breakup song originally released by 90s superstar George Michael. Christmas + heartbreak = the perfect TS combo. She also wrote two originals for the EP – 'Christmas Must be Something More' and 'Christmases When You Were Mine'. What did we tell ya? Heartbreak! In 2019 our festive queen dropped another holiday…

BIG DEAL To Swifties this album was everything, symbolising the start of Tay taking back her music and rocking out in her own right. Fans praised the way it stayed nostalgic and true to OG Tay – even with the increased production quality – helping it hit 50 million Spotify streams in just 24 hours. SPOT THE DIFF Can’t tell the diff between Fearless’ original and re-released tunes? For Tay, that was totally the point! In fact she was so set on staying true to her throwback sound that she hired members of the album’s original 2008 touring band. For ‘Love Story’, she even tracked down the OG fiddle player along with the back-up vocalists. Dedication! VAULT TRACKS On top of the re-recorded tracks, Fearless (Taylor’s Version) boasts six previously…

SWIFT SURPRISE Taylor spilled the news to lucky LA-based Swifties at the final US Eras show. Tay said: “Here we are on the 8th month, and the 9th day…” and gestured to the big screen showing the 1989 (Taylor’s Version) release date of October 27. Cue screaming. FROM THE VAULT TEA Taylor announced four of the five From The Vault track names: “Is It Over Now?”, “Now That We Don’t Talk”, “Say Don’t Go”, and “Suburban Legends”. In classic Tay fashion, she teamed up with Google where fans had to solve 33 million puzzles to unlock the names, and they actually crashed Google. Oops! Anyways, when the back cover was revealed, there was a fifth track listed! TS tweeted: “this is my most FAVOURITE rerecord I’ve ever done because the…

INSIDE INSPO Still vibing hard on the cottagecore aesthetic, evermore takes it to the next-level but with a wintery festive twist. Visually it’s a lot more colourful than folklore, but musically it’s very much a sequel – more indie and edgy than the straight-up country pop Tay was previously producing. A LITTLE BIT SPESH Like most Tay releases, evermore boasted a deluxe edition, with tunes ‘Right Where You Left Me’ and ‘It’s Time to Go’ available as physical-only additions to the album (which was previously digital-first). POWER PLAYERS Like its sister album folklore, evermore was written remotely during the height of the pandemic. It was a spontaneous surprise extension of her collab with first-time co-producer Aaron Dessner, but this time she invited her boyfriend at the time, British actor Joe…

DREAMING UP MIDNIGHTS After a string of typically Tay albums centred around her love (and break-up) life, Tay takes Midnights to look inward and explore topics of anxiety, insecurities and self-criticism – all inspired by the “sleepless nights scattered throughout her life”. It’s intimate and chill, with roots in R&B and dream pop. Less loved-up and more real and raw. MASTERMIND CHAOS In an iconic 2022 move, Tay released the track list over a chaotic 13-day TikTok series – throwing in seven bonus tracks just hours before the album was due to drop. And then there were the special editions released months after the first, with more bonus tracks – including a remix of ‘Karma’ – blowing the minds of even the most chill Swifties. DYNAMIC DUOS It’s no surprise…

17 March, 2023 was when the tour kicked off in the city of Glendale, Arizona. Tay here! performed two nights here! 3.5 hours is how long each The Eras Tour show is! 44 songs are performed by Taylor Taylor each night. 27 shows were originally announced in the US before more shows were added. 48 was the total number of shows shows in the first run of the US tour. 100,000 US dollars is the amount she gave the truck drivers as a bonus for helping transport equipment throughout the tour! 5 years is how long it has been since Taylor last toured. 3 city renames occurred to honour Tay – Glendale, Arizona (a.k.a the first stop on the tour) was known as “Swift City”, Minneapolis became “Swiftieapolis”, and Santa…

In March 2009, Taylor performed for her Aussie fans for the very first time. She put on six shows, leaving Swifties absolutely wanting more. Little did we know, the Fearless tour was just around the corner! MARCH 5, 2009: BEAUTIFUL BRISBANE Taylor’s first-ever Australian performance took place in sunny Queensland! Tay rocked The Tivoli, a music venue in Brisbane that can only hold 1,560 people. Just a tad bit different to the massive concerts she puts on these days! MARCH 7, 2009: TERRIFIC THREDBO Tay then headed to Thredbo in New South Wales to be part of the 2009 CMC Rocks The Snowys festival. She told a reporter, “It’s been unbelievable, getting to come over to Australia and play shows. It’s beyond anything I could have ever dreamed about.” MARCH…

Taylor didn’t keep Aussie and Kiwi fans waiting too long for another awesome concert experience after the Speak Now World Tour. She was back in November and December 2013 to promote her fourth album, Red. At the time, Tay said, “The tour will be a big representation of this record…I'm so excited to see what songs the fans like the most and which ones jump to the forefront.” RECORD BREAKER Taylor became the first solo female artist in 20 years to headline a national stadium tour in Australia. She also became the first female artist ever to sell out Allianz Stadium in Sydney since it first opened all the way back in 1988. The sold out crowd had over 40,000 people! BEST BIRTHDAY EVER While she was here, Tay celebrated…

INSPIRATION BEHIND THE ALBUM When she released Red, Taylor got called out (rude!) for calling herself a country singer, because some critics thought it was more of a pop record. So with her next album she decided to take that backlash and throw it back in the haters’ faces by leaning right into the pop genre. COLLABS She reunited with Swedish songwriter/producer duo Max Martin and Shellback, who have a special talent for writing the catchiest songs ever, and also enlisted her now-bestie Jack Antonoff, who brought his signature electropop sound to the album. RIP Taylor’s acoustic guitar (for now!). IT’S A VIBE ‘Shake It Off’ was the album’s biggest hit and it’s stuck in everyone’s head nine years later! But the Deluxe Version of 1989 features bonus tracks that…

REPPIN’ THE INSPIRATION After 1989, Taylor went from being the leader of the world’s most famous girl gang to being called out by a celeb couple – at one point, the comments section on her IG was literally flooded with snake emojis! Tay has confessed that the super-intense show Game of Thrones inspired reputation. Pop off, queen. ‘Look What You Made Me Do’, ‘I Did Something Bad’ and ‘This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things’ are all digs at Kanye West, who along with his then-wife Kim Kardashian had been feuding with Taylor. In fact, Kim was the one who first dropped the snake emoji when referring to Tay. Hiss. TOP TEAM UPS Tay may have been on bad terms with one rapper, but she enlisted another one, Future,…

The final show in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 7 was delayed by almost four hours due to a lightning storm! Once she was given the all clear, Taylor performed in the rain to the point where she felt like a “river otter” and the show wrapped up close to 2am! Just a few weeks later in Foxborough, Massachusetts, the May 20 show also saw pouring rain. Her July 1 show in Cincinnati, Ohio started an hour early to try and avoid bad weather approaching. ERAS EARTHQUAKE The crowd at Taylor’s Seattle, Washington shows on July 22-23 were shaking it off so hard that it caused seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake! BUGGING OUT During her final show in Chicago on June 4, Taylor accidentally swallowed a bug while…

“Say you’ll remember me, standing in a nice dress staring at the sunset…” First up, what’s your party theme? Obvs, it’s a Tay-themed party, but you’ll need to narrow down a specific vibe. That’ll help decide the decorations aesthetic, dress code and possibly even the menu! Is it a party covering all The Eras? Or are you focusing on just one Era? Is everyone dressing as their favourite version of Tay from a particular video like ‘Shake It Off’? Do they need to wear a specific item like cowboy boots or a cardigan? Is the theme based on a song title, like ‘Welcome to New York’, ‘Lavender Haze’ or ‘Out of the Woods’? The possibilities are endless, so narrow down that theme! “Here’s a toast to my real friends…” Themed…

“NEVER BELIEVE ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU THAT YOU DON’T DESERVE WHAT YOU WANT.” Taylor Swift “Happiness and confidence are the prettiest things you can wear.“ Taylor Swift “Not knowing where we’re headed is scary, but take things one step at a time and it gets easier to handle the stress.” Taylor Swift “Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, it’s about how to dance in the rain.” Taylor Swift "You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you. You are not damaged goods just because you made mistakes in your life. You are not going nowhere just because you haven't got there yet."
