This. The Man is really, really catchy. I don't understand why it's so hated by so many Swifties.
Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour
- Thread starter xOJakeXo
- Start date
I have never been the biggest Taylor fan, but I've always checked for her music (and it's almost impossible to escape it if you're on TikTok or online somehow) and this tour is making me low-key stan. There's a reason she's the biggest popstar of this generation, she's such a gifted songwriter and really knows how to play to her voice's strengths and weaknesses, and now this tour! Performing for 3 hours is so strenuous and she could have just omitted a bunch of her deep cuts and cut a good hour of this show, since she has already made some big coin with this tour, but she is really out there giving it all and serving a spectacle.

I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS. 3 hours and 44 songs and 8 changes are so impressive. Gals got stamina. And I thought Madonna went HAM with Blonde Ambition Tour!

P.S anyone else have a feeling this will be the highest grossing female solo tour of all time?
1. I think the “it’s been a long time coming” lyric plays a lot into the opening as it obviously works on so many levels metaphorically.
I think that would’ve been a big factor in choosing the Lover era to open the show.
This is gonna do numbers. I cant wait to see the boxscores!

I am DYING to see this tour - I really need UK dates ASAP. I had tickets to see her at BST at Hyde Park during the Lover era but it got cancelled because of the pandemic..so basically I deserve to see this show. Ya know?
Did you not read this thread or so? It's been discussed a few times before...
Lover era opening the whole thing is definitely a case of starting where she left off when it comes to touring and Midnights closing obviously brings us to where she is now.
Fearless being second was possibly because it was her second studio album?
Folklore era part of the show opens with the lyrics of 'Seven' and is the seventh set.
On that note the vastness of the staging taking up so much pitch room seems to leave a lot of money on the table to ensure everyone gets a decent view.
I saw a reliable leaker account tweeted Mexican dates will be announced/on sale in April!!!
Glad she's taking care of her voice, but I'm surprised she could successfully have a disclaimer put on that article dismissing playback when she very clearly is. I wish artists would be more transparent with their audiences on what it takes to tour a production like this (and have any chance of having a long career as a singer).
I have a couple of theories.
1. Even if its absolutely logical and (kinda) expected, people grew up reading about Britney etc being slammed for lip-syncing, so I suppose Taylor would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.
2. When so many positive articles are coming out, the one that feels kinda bad sticks out the most.
3. She's singing with pre-recorded vocals to protect her voice but she doesn't like it very much so she doesn't want it to be a big deal.
Thinking about the length of the concerts, I wonder if she won't bring out special guests this time around? She will need to cut a whole section otherwise. Maybe if she brings up a guest she will skip the acoustic section?
All fair. But Britney-level lip-syncing is just not what's happening here (and even she had the gall to say she doesn't). In a perfect world people would revere unclockable pre-rec as a talent and artform in itself - just another form of choreography.
Anyway, it gives me confidence she won't burn out and any subsequent legs will be just as impressive, which is really exciting.
I can see Shawn Mendes for ''Lover'' and Kendrick Lamar for ''Bad Blood''.
