Taylor Swift’s highly-anticipated Eras tour has kicked off with a bang, with the pop sensation playing 44-song setlists for two nights in a row in Glendale, Arizona.
The Eras tour indeed lives up to its name, with Swift running through all ten of her albums.
She performed at least one track from ten albums, including the live debuts of songs from albums Swift released during the Covid-19 pandemic: folklore, evermore, and last year's Midnights. Lover also received some live debuts.
The marathon concerts saw Swift open with a string of hits from Lover, including the fan-favourite Cruel Summer. From there, she launched into Fearless, with Love Story, You Belong With Me and the title track - the latter of which she hadn’t performed in over a decade.
She also performed the 10-minute version of All Too Well. She closed the set with tracks from her newest album, Midnights, including Lavender Haze, Anti-Hero, Midnight Rain, Vigilante Shit, Bejeweled, Mastermind, and Karma.
There’s always room for surprises at a Taylor Swift show, and for the Eras tour, she revealed that audiences would hear a different acoustic track from her discography each night.
Night one of the Eras tour on 17 March marked acoustic versions of mirrorball and Tim McGraw. The following night, the chosen tracks were this is me trying and State Of Grace. View the full setlist and footage from night one below.
Midnights has done incredible numbers in the charts, smashing the single-day streaming record for an album with 184.6 million streams on Spotify and single-handedly raising the vinyl record sales in the UK for the first time in 35 years.
