In anticipation of Taylor’s arrival, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced on social media that NRG Stadium will temporarily be renamed NRG Stadium (Taylor’s Version) for the weekend.

WEATHER ALERT

6 warnings in effect for 8 counties in the area

Taylor swift adds 2 more houston dates for ‘eras’ tour; here’s what you need to know about the presale.

Amanda Cochran , Digital Special Projects Manager

HOUSTON – Taylor Swift has announced her “The Eras” Tour and it’s coming to Houston.

On Friday, in addition to the already-announced concert scheduled for April 22, 2023, the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer added 17 more shows to her tour, including two more at Houston’s NRG Stadium: one on April 21, and another on April 23.

Taylor Swift Eras tour: What to know as singer takes over NRG Stadium for 3 days

It turns out Taylor Swift has Houston ties. Her mom, Andrea, is a University of Houston alum.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- When Taylor Swift wrapped three historic shows in Arlington, Texas, she became the first artist to play three nights at AT &T Stadium.

The next stop on her "The Eras Tour" was Tampa, and now, it's Houston's turn to show up bejeweled, breathless, and ready to belt out "Champagne Problems." Go ahead, see how many T-Swift song references you can find in this story.

But with each show, social media has been flooded with pro tips on what to know, with one article calling the event "a marathon and not a sprint," complete with health tips (yes, really!) for staying hydrated.

When and where are the Houston shows?

The Taylor Takeover is here. Swift will perform three shows April 21-23 at NRG Stadium.

NRG says that the same timeline of events will be in place for each show.

12 p.m. - NRG Park parking lots open

12 p.m. - Merchandise available inside secured perimeter

4:30 p.m. - All stadium gates open

6:30 p.m. - Concert begins

Still, you likely won't see Swift take the stage until much later. There are two special guests, beabadoobee, a Filipina-British singer, and Gracie Abrams, who is based out of Los Angeles and is the daughter of "Star Wars" director J.J. Abrams.

What can I bring and not bring inside NRG Stadium?

Well, fans, get ready for it. If you were dying to have Swift see your gigantic homemade poster praising her music or anything else, you're going to have to keep it at home.

The following items are a no-go:

Refillable water bottles
Lights and external battery packs
Large signs over 11" x 17"
Outside food and beverage
Banners or poles
No gifts or flowers
No large electronic devices
Clothing, costumes or personal effects that may impede the view of those around you
No professional cameras, including any with a detachable lens
No camera accessories (selfie sticks, GoPros, tripods, etc.)
No professional video or audio recording equipment

If that list left you feeling like there's nothing left but blank space, you should be pleased to know NRG is a fan of friendship bracelets.

You can bring:

Portable phone chargers no larger than a credit card
Friendship bracelets that may be worn or placed inside your clear bag. Bracelets, however, may not contain lights
Medically necessary items after proper inspection

Another interesting note: NRG said the roof will be closed. So much for flying in like Lady Gaga!

What if I still don't have tickets?

Yeah, about that. Well, all hope is not lost, but fans know all too well that you should be prepared to shell out some cash if you find them on sites like StubHub or SeatGeek.

In fact, for the Saturday show in Houston, a couple floor seats on SeatGeek are going for $2,532 each, while another search of the site has seats going for $593 apiece in Section 615 with a limited view at that.

Still, a check of StubHub on Friday morning showed seats for under $500. That's good news, right?! There might be some bad news, though. Ready for it? They are all limited or obstructed view, but at least you'd be in the house!

A study by Finance Buzz found that the best time to buy resale tickets is just before the show. The day before a show, the cost drops 27% below average. Day of, it drops 33% below average.

What time does the Taylor Swift concert end?

You might as well rest up, save your energy, and drink plenty of water. It's said Swift performs 44 songs for three hours. Again, it starts at 6:30 p.m., but there are two other performers.

In fact, some fans have recommended the best times to take bathroom breaks or visit the merchandise line.

For example, Barstool Sports "Chicks In the Office" said they've heard that "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" is a good time to make a run for it, while other fans say they have no plans of budging.

Swift's show has already impressed some of the most famous of faces, including former Houston Texan JJ Watt.

"There was no intermission. And she was singing, dancing, entertaining the entire time. Seventy thousand people hanging on every move she was making for three hours and 15 minutes. She crushed it. She didn't even look tired," Watt said. "I was tired, and I was just sitting there."

"Just the sheer mental, physical, emotional toll that this has to take on your body. To be able to do that night after night after night. City after city," Watt continued. "My hat's off to Taylor. She never took a break."

Are there any surprises?

Swift has confirmed that she'll perform surprise songs every night of the tour. In Arlington, the only Texas stop before Houston, fans said she performed "Sad Beautiful and Tragic" and "Ours" on night one, "Death By a Thousand Cuts" and "Clean" on night two, and "Jump Then Fall" and "The Lucky One" on night three.

It might also be a time to celeb watch.

Actress and longtime Swift bestie Selena Gomez went to the Arlington show with her younger sister.

What should I wear?

You may want to keep up with Swift's costume changes, but fans who have already been to the show advise you should do so comfortably.

That means consider wearing comfortable shoes or if you want to wear heels, bring a pair of flip flops that'll fit in your bag. More on the bag in a moment.

Not surprisingly, a constant theme is sequins and sparkles. Also spotted in the crowd: tulle and cowboy boots, which many Houstonians might already have handy because the rodeo recently wrapped up.

Full-blown lists are dedicated to each *ahem* era of Swift.

NRG has a clear bag policy. What's that about?

So back to the bag. Don't expect to get into NRG Stadium with a tote, or else you'll probably have some bad blood with security who will make you turn around and put it back in your car.

The venue's clear bag policy will be in effect, which means each fan can only carry one bag that is clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC no larger than 12" by x 6" x 12" or a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).

You can also carry a small clutch purse no larger than 4.5" x 6.5", approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap.

For the full list of bag guidelines, visit the NRG Park website .

Where do I park?

Be prepared to pay up for parking, but keep your literal Benjamins in the bank. Parking is $40 per space at the gate and NRG Park is cashless, so only electronic or card payment will be accepted. Apple and Google Pay are also options.

The following lots will be open: Orange, red, blue, yellow, green, purple. And remember, parking lots open at noon each day.

ADA parking will be available in the Blue Lot. Rideshare drop off and pick up will be available in the Yellow Lot. Parent drop off and pick up will be available in the Green Lot.

If you'd rather ride the METRORail in, there are routes near and around the complex.

What should I know about traffic?

It might be rough. NRG is encouraging fans, and probably anyone in the area even if they don't go to the concerts, to plan ahead.

For starters, there will be closures along the west side of the stadium. The biggest closure is happening on Kirby between McNee and I-610 from 7 p.m. to midnight

If you want to avoid the crowd, go to the Fannin south lot for METRO and take the rail to the venue.

What's this about Swift's Houston ties?

It turns out, Swift's trip to Houston isn't just another tour stop.

She has some deep ties to the city as her mom, Andrea, graduated from Memorial High School and is a University of Houston alum.

Swift made a "very sizable donation" in honor of her mother to the Houston Food Bank after Hurricane Harvey .

Swift will have ties to NRG Stadium, at least temporarily.

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced that the home of the Houston Texans would be called NRG Stadium (Taylor's Version) as a nod to the singer while she's in town, similar to what other cities have done during her tour stops. Expect to see banners for the renaming as well.

Should I wait in line for merch?

One fan claims that about 90% of the merchandise she saw for sale at the show in Arlington was online, but there were some unique hoodies that were not spotted on the website.

If you're patient, you might as well line up and expect it to be long.

Fans say that a line in Las Vegas stretched for about a mile. You can scan through the official gear online , where you can grab anything from $45 t-shirts to a passport holder and nail gems.

Fans also advise timing out your trip to buy merch in much the way you would a bathroom break.

But remember, you can start buying merchandise as early as noon each day of the concert.

Fans lined up on Thursday, the first day there was a merchandise truck, and the item that went the fastest was a blue crewneck for $65.

Prices for items range from $15 to $75. Gear is expected to be restocked each day.

One fan, Sarah Badillo, got two of the crewnecks.

"My sister and I drove in from College Station last night and camped out since 2 a.m., so it's a relief. Now we can go eat," Badillo said, adding that she has tickets for each night of the show.

How about the setlist?

This is what we've found so far. Plan accordingly, and perhaps most important, have fun!

Live Review + Gallery: Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX (04.21.23)

Madison Raney May 4, 2023 Headline News , Photography , Show Reviews Leave a comment

“It’s been a long time coming but…” Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour is officially underway and taking the music world by storm. Swift announced the tour back in November of 2022 and the internet has absolutely exploded with all things Eras Tour ever since. And rightfully so. From the excruciating process of getting tickets, to the intricate outfit planning by fans, and of course the plethora of planned out ‘Love Story’ proposals we’ve been seeing at shows, it’s safe to say the entire journey of this tour has been well documented by fans online. Now with several shows under her belt we’re finally seeing the culmination of it all as Swift continues to obliterate even the highest expectations for this tour night after night.

As someone who has religiously attended as many concerts as I could for the past decade, I’ve been put in the fortunate position of having seen what I thought was everything. From tiny club shows to sold out stadiums I’ve been witness to it all. Or so I thought. Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour has taken the experience of live music to a whole new level, and believe me, I don’t say that lightly…

The sheer length of her performance is something to be marveled at all on its own. Effortlessly bringing a 44-song setlist to life for what ends up being just over a 3-hour set is no easy feat and Swift continues to execute it flawlessly, her Friday night show in Houston, TX being no exception.

The night began with openers Gracie Abrams and Beabadoobee who were tasked with opening up the show to a very excited crowd anxiously awaiting Swift to take the stage. No easy task to say the least, however both powerhouse performers proved that they were more than up for the job. Gracie Abrams kicked off the show right at 6:25pm with a short and sweet setlist consisting of 4 songs – “Where do we go now”, “21”, “Block Me Out”, and “I know it won’t work”.

Following Abrams, award-winning indie-pop artist Beabadoobee took the stage promptly at 6:55pm to perform her slightly longer 9-song setlist to a welcoming crowd, excited to sing along to the last opener of the night before Swift would take the stage.

Not long after Beabadoobee wrapped up, a giant clock appeared on screen to count down the 3 minutes until Swift would take the stage. The time had come and the entire stadium was buzzing with anticipation…

As the on-screen clock struck midnight (in reference to Swift’s most recent album) and lights dimmed you could feel the excitement of the crowd finally coming to a head as dancers took the stage and just a few moments later Swift would emerge on a raised platform to a greeting of screaming fans. The Eras Tour had begun.

As the title of the tour would suggest, Swift managed to orchestrate a show that spanned her entire career – giving each of her albums (or “eras”) their own dedicated section of the setlist, allowing her to cater the performance to every type of Swift fan out there. Her set opened with songs off of the album “Lover” – perhaps a subtle nod to Lover Fest , a series of shows that were supposed to take place in the summer of 2020 but were canceled due to COVID. Opening the show with the song “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince” and thus resulting in Swift belting the line “it’s been a long time coming but..” hit fans pretty deep seeing as Swift hasn’t been on tour since 2018 for her Reputation Tour . This show was definitely a long time coming and here we were, finally in the midst of it with a long and wonderful night ahead.

You could feel the sense of awe and adoration that took over every single fan at NRG Stadium that night, completely mesmerized by Swift as she continued to roll through her setlist. With each new era came its own intricate set designs and outfit changes, demanding and keeping the crowd’s attention for every second of Swift’s 3 hour performance. Some eras lasted longer than others, with 7 songs being played from her album Folklore while only 1 song from Speak Now was included on the setlist.

As Swift took fans on a nostalgic journey through her career you could feel the magic pulsing through the stadium as she transformed her stage from a witchy Folklore forest, an intense, high-energy Reputation catwalk, and everything in-between.

As the show started rolling into its final eras, the most anticipated portion of the night had finally come – the surprise songs that would be inserted into her setlist for this night and this night only. For every show on The Eras Tour , Swift has been playing 2 songs each night that would only be played at that particular show. Fans had taken to excitedly awaiting the reveals and making guesses each night as to what the two songs would be. For the Friday night show in Houston fans were lucky enough to get to hear “Wonderland” from the album 1989 as well as “You’re Not Sorry” from the album Fearless – the first time the song had been played live since 2013.

As Swift wrapped up the surprise song portion of the show it was time to finally enter the 9th and final era of the night – Midnights . Playing 7 songs off her latest album, Swift officially brought the night to a close with the song “Karma” and a fantastical performance in a glittering dark blue one piece, sparkling fringe jacket, and an explosion of colorful confetti. A magical ending for an incredible and awe-inspiring show that only Swift could have possibly brought to life.

It’s evident that The Eras Tour has and will continue to impress even Swift’s most skeptic critics. It’s no wonder Taylor Swift is one of, if not the, biggest artists of our time and The Eras Tour is a testament to exactly that.

Tell them how the crowds went wild: Taylor Swift fans in Texas are ready for the Eras Tour

Taylor Swift is touring again, and it’s hard to overemphasize how big a deal this is for her fan base.

Swift hasn’t toured since 2018, and in the five years since she has released four new albums and re-recorded several of her older albums with new songs added.

Six of the first dozen or so shows of Swift’s Eras Tour will be in Texas – three this weekend at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, and three in late April at NRG Stadium in Houston – and fans are beyond ready for the pop star to come back to the Lone Star State.

Swifties are very loyal, and part of their dedication comes from how long they have been listening. Cara Gustafson, a 31-year-old Austinite who has tickets for Houston, says she’s been listening to Swift for almost half her life and knows every song.

“I just feel like she’s just been such a part of my life,” she said. “For every phase of my life and every album I can think of where I was when it came out and where I was at that time in my life.”

For longtime fans like her, the Eras Tour is extra special: Swift is playing music from across all 10 of her albums – taking concertgoers through all the eras of her career.

Swift, like any public figure, has plenty of naysayers – people who think her music is cheesy or basic, or feel like she’s overrated. Some conservative listeners were upset when she threw her support behind Democratic candidates in 2018, while others on the left complain that her activism feels insufficient.

The fans I talked to were well aware of all this but say their love for Swift goes much deeper than the back-and-forth over her politics or which awards she’s won. Indeed, it goes deeper than simply thinking her music is fun to listen to. They described how Swift has been the backdrop for moments big and small in their lives – moments when they felt understood or empowered – as well as really big changes and hard times.

Childhood memories of ‘a safe space’

Michelle Pitcher, who grew up in Coppell and now lives in Austin, remembers one of those little moments.

“I actually distinctly remember being in middle school on a field trip, listening to her ‘Fearless’ album in headphones and staring out the window of the bus and pretending I was in a music video,” she said. “So she’s been with me for a while.”

Katie Wilson’s first-ever concert was Swift in 2011.

Katie Wilson, left, and her sister, Keylee Slough, at Taylor Swift’s Reputation stadium tour in Arlington in 2018.

“I was literally, like, just so elated,” said Wilson, who grew up in Lubbock. “It’s also kind of a sentimental thing like for me, because when I was a junior in high school, my mom died, and so me and my mom went to that concert when I was in the sixth grade. And so it was just kind of like a great moment for me and her. I’ll always cherish that forever.”

For Hope Lenamon, who grew up outside of Waco and now lives in Austin, Swift gave her a way to fit in. Lenamon, 26, remembers the first time she noticed a Swift song.

“I was in the backseat of my dad’s old pickup truck. He was driving me and my sister home from school,” she said. “And I remember hearing ‘Our Song’ come on the radio and kind of immediately becoming obsessed with it.”

Lenamon was about 12 when this happened, around the same time she started noticing something about herself.

“That’s kind of when I started figuring out like, oh, I don’t look at boys the way other girls look at boys. It was kind of rough being a closeted queer kid in rural Texas … and it was really nice to be able to sing along to Taylor Swift songs,” she said. “A lot of her songs aren’t super gendered, and so I could be thinking of my crush from eighth-period athletics, on the eighth-grade volleyball star, but it sounded like I was singing about boys just like all the other girls my age … It kind of gave me a safe space to experiment with ideas of love and longing.”

Lenamon is attending two shows, one in Arlington and one in Houston, and is excited to go with her best friend from college. The two bonded over their love for Swift, and they stay up late for all the album releases, but they have never been to a show together.

A family event

Andrew Ledbetter is also excited to attend a Taylor Swift concert with his loved ones: his wife and two daughters.

“To get to go to the tour and get to see that and to celebrate that live with the people I enjoy most in the world, that also appreciate Taylor Swift, too,” he said. “Oh yeah, I’m really excited about it.”

Ledbetter is in his 40s and teaches communication studies at Texas Christian University. He is the first to admit he might not look like your typical Swiftie, but he is committed . He said one of the things he loves about the star’s music is that there’s a song for whatever mood you’re in.

“If it’s a happy, upbeat mood, maybe I go to something from ‘Lover.’ It’s more reflective, I can go to something from ‘Folklore,’” he said. “If I just want to kind of remember nostalgia, when I first began to enjoy Taylor Swift, I can go to ‘Fearless’ or I can go to ‘Speak Now’ or something like that.”

Ledbetter has a page on his website where he ranks all of Swift’s songs . His outfit for the show is a custom-made T-shirt with his top 10 songs and a QR code to the site.

And he’s far from the only person I talked to who’s made a custom shirt for the event – what you wear to a Swift concert is a big deal. Some people are spending hours on homemade costume pieces, painting jean jackets or putting jewels on their clothes. Fans talked about wanting to go all-out for Swift and celebrate the music in a stadium of other people who are just as excited and dressed up as they are. Many concertgoers are picking an “era” to dress as, matching the aesthetic of their favorite album.

Fans bonding over traditions new and old

There is a sense that these concerts are bringing communities together, and not just locally. Many people are flying in to shows from other cities. Several videos have surfaced of planefuls of Swifties having sing-alongs en route .

And there are traditions for the Eras Tour that fans established before the first song was even sung. Many are making dozens of friendship bracelets to bring and exchange with strangers. People are also painting Taylor’s lucky number 13 on their hands and writing lyrics on their arms.

But Pitcher says that what’s more important than this tour is what Swift’s music has done for her throughout her life.

“I’ve always been able to return to some Taylor Swift song that makes me feel like seen emotionally, makes my emotions feel validated. It’s catharsis singing in the car,” she said. “She’s been around for much of my formative years. And, you know, she’s just like a friend at this point. She’s a pal. And I just really appreciate what she’s done and how she’s there for everyone.”

And at the six upcoming concerts in Texas, Swift’s fans are going to be there for her right back – at least those who were lucky enough to get tickets .

Tell them how the crowds went wild: Taylor Swift fans in Texas are ready for the Eras Tour

Taylor Swift is touring again, and it’s hard to overemphasize how big a deal this is for her fan base.

Swift hasn’t toured since 2018, and in the five years since she has released four new albums and re-recorded several of her older albums with new songs added.

For longtime fans like her, the Eras Tour is extra special: Swift is playing music from across all 10 of her albums – taking concertgoers through all the eras of her career.

Childhood memories of ‘a safe space’

Michelle Pitcher, who grew up in Coppell and now lives in Austin, remembers one of those little moments.

Katie Wilson’s first-ever concert was Swift in 2011.

Taylor Swift Eras Tour Setlist 2024: All 46 Songs Played By Taylor

13 June 2024, 22:42

Taylor Swift announces The Eras Tour concert film with trailer

By Katie Louise Smith

What songs has Taylor Swift added to the new Eras Tour setlist? Here's the full official new Eras Tour setlist and all the changes she's made so far.

Listen to this article

It's safe to say that Taylor Swift 's Eras Tour has well and truly surpassed every single expectation we had. The Eras Tour officially opened its doors in Glendale, Arizona on March 17th where Taylor performed songs from all 10 of her albums.

Since then, Taylor has released her eleventh album, ' The Tortured Poets Department ', and has now added seven of those songs to the setlist too. But what songs have been cut to make room for the new tracks?

On May 9th in Paris, France, Taylor changed the entire Eras Tour setlist as fans know it. Popular songs have now been removed and the eras section order has been moved around.

Here's all the songs in Taylor's Eras Tour setlist, including every song featured in the show, how many songs she plays, every single surprise song and all the 'The Tortured Poets Department' tracks that have been added to the setlist.

Plus, all the updates to the setlist and what to expect for the upcoming European Eras Tour dates.

How many songs does Taylor Swift play on the Eras Tour setlist?

The average Taylor Swift concert used to be around 2 hours long but The Eras Tour is a whole different beast... The concert is a whopping 3 hours and 15 minutes long, and Taylor performs a huge 45 tracks within that timeframe.

Not all the tracks are performed in full – some are shortened versions. There's also a couple of additional little interludes that pop up throughout the show.

For context, on the Rep tour, Taylor performed 19 tracks in total, including several mashups that featured some of her older songs. For The 1989 World Tour, she performed 18 songs, while 17 songs were performed on The Red Tour and the Speak Now World Tour.

Taylor Swift New Eras Tour setlist: What songs does Taylor Swift perform on the Eras Tour?

Taylor now only has two more legs of the Eras Tour to complete: Europe and the second U.S. and Canada leg. International fans heading to the shows in 2024 thought they had a pretty solid idea of what to expect, but she has now turned everything on its head with a brand new setlist and a new ' The Tortured Poets Department ' section.

The Eras Tour set list features a mix of her highest charting songs, lead singles, fan favourites, outright bangers and tracks that stand out as milestones in her incredible career so far.

On March 31st, during her show in Arlington, TX, Taylor confirmed that the setlist will have some changes as the tour goes on. We now know that the entire setlist has changed. On May 9th 2024 in Paris, Taylor changed the order of the setlist and removed a handful of songs. Seven 'Tortured Poets Department' songs were also added.

The Eras sections now go in this order: 'Lover', 'Fearless', 'Red', 'Speak Now', 'Reputation', 'Folklore and Evermore' (now combined), '1989', 'The Tortured Poets Department', Surprise Songs and 'Midnights'.

The 'Folklore' and 'Evermore' sections have now been combined in the setlist, as they are 'sister' albums.

Seven songs from 'The Tortured Poets Department' have now been added .

On March 31st 2023, 'Invisible string' was replaced by 'the 1'. Both songs have now been removed.
On July 7th and 8th, Taylor performed 'Long Live' after 'Enchanted'. The song remained on the setlist until May 2024, when it was removed.
On July 22nd, Taylor replaced 'tis the damn season' so she could perform 'No Body, No Crime' with HAIM. 'Tis the damn season' returned to the main setlist on August 24th in Mexico City, before being removed in May 2024.
For all the shows where Phoebe Bridgers appeared as a support act, Taylor performed 'Nothing New' with her during the Red (TV) section.
On May 26th and May 27th 2023, Ice Spice joined Taylor on stage to perform 'Karma'.

As of June 4th 2024, there is still no section on the tour dedicated to her debut album, 'Taylor Swift ' .

Taylor has 'reset' the surprise song list, which means anyone attending a show in 2024 can anticipate hearing a song she's already performed. She previously stated that she will only play each surprise song once during the tour, unless she messes one up.

There's also no rules for Taylor repeating songs from Midnights as surprise songs, which means fans may get to hear the likes of 'You're On Your Own Kid' and 'Snow on the Beach' again at some point in the future.

We'll update this article with every Surprise Acoustic Song – and every surprise song that she will play again – after every show.

Will Taylor Swift change the Eras Tour setlist?

Aside from a few song changes, the Eras Tour setlist remained the same throughout the 2023 shows and every show up until the release of 'The Tortured Poets Department'. During the first Paris show in May 2024, Taylor changed the order of the setlist, removed six songs and added seven new ones from 'TTPD'.

Fans attending the European shows might end up hearing Taylor perform ' Castles Crumbling ' with Hayley Williams at some point, as Paramore will be supporting her throughout those tour dates. Unlike Phoebe Bridgers and HAIM, who joined Taylor on stage to perform 'Nothing New' and 'No Body, No Crime' respectively on the nights they were support acts, a 'Castles Crumbling' duet might be more likely to appear as a surprise song.

Taylor will finish her European leg in London in August 2024, before returning to North America in November 2024. It's possible that she may make more changes to the final leg of the show.

What are Taylor's most performed songs on tour?

Before she embarked on The Eras Tour, Taylor’s top 3 most performed songs are ‘Love Story’ (491 times), ‘Our Song’ (404 times) and ‘You Belong With Me’ (381 times).

Of course, almost all of Taylor’s most performed songs are from her first two albums. As the list goes on, the 'Speak Now' bops, 'Red' bangers and '1989' hits start to weave their way in.

If you’re wondering what Taylor’s most played songs from her first five albums are, here’s a break down:

Taylor Swift : ‘Our Song’, ‘Tim McGraw’ and ‘Picture To Burn’
Fearless: ‘Love Story’, ‘You Belong With Me’ and ‘Fifteen’
Speak Now : ‘Sparks Fly’, ‘Mean’ and ‘Mine’
Red : ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’, ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ and ‘Red’
1989 : ‘Shake It Off’, ‘Blank Space’ and ‘Out of the Woods’

Taylor has only had the chance to perform songs from Reputation on the Reputation Stadium Tour so far, but ‘Ready For It?’, ‘Delicate’ and ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ take the top spots when it comes to live performances of the Rep tracks.

Due to the cancellation of Lover Fest, Taylor hasn’t been able to perform Lover on a tour setting. Folklore, Evermore and Midnights will also be making their tour debut on the Eras Tour.

‘taylor swift: the eras tour’ movie hits houston-area theaters.

Nitza Vite, a pediatric surgical technologist and the administrator of a Facebook group called “Houston Swifties,” said the movie is an exciting opportunity.

Taylor Swift has brought her summer global tour to movie theaters in the Houston area.

The popular singer-songwriter announced last month that fans could experience a concert film called “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” starting this week in theaters worldwide.

For Nitza Vite, a pediatric surgical technologist and the administrator of a Facebook group called "Houston Swifties," the movie is an exciting opportunity.

"I was so excited when the announcement came out,” Vite said. “I couldn't wait to see the show on a big screen."

Vite created the group to meet other “Swifties” in the Houston area. While the group does not have a group event planned for the movie, she is going with friends, she said.

"Unfortunately no, I am watching the movie with my friends who are also moderators in this group," Vite said.

The recent concert tour, spanning 17 years of Swift’s career, is projected to have generated $4.6 billion in consumer spending, according to research company QuestionPr o.

The concert film has already generated more $100 million in advance ticket sales, according to a press release by AMC.

Fans can dance and sing along in the theaters to bring the true Eras experience to the big screen as long as they are not dancing in their seats and blocking others' view, per AMC rules.

Fans are encouraged to wear Eras attire, dressing up in clothing inspired by Swift moments and albums and exchange friendship bracelets, just as they did at concerts this summer, Swift said in an Instagram post.

While the concert had a run time of approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes, the movie has a run time of about 2 hours and 48 minutes.

“Swifties” will also be able to buy Eras-themed popcorn buckets and soda cups at most theater chains. The design essentially remains the same as the concert tour poster, but the color and material may differ depending on the theater.

Fans can also get a free mini-movie poster at theaters like AMC , Regal and Cinemark for ticket holders.

The movie screenings run from Thursday to Sunday to mimic a concert-like experience. Most theater chains have ticket sales through Nov. 5, at least.

Taylor Swift: Which Eras Tour Songs Didn’t Make Concert Film & Which Surprise Songs Got In

Every show on the Eras Tour involves an acoustic set where Swift performs at least two songs custom to that night’s show. At first, she wouldn’t allow herself repeats unless she messed up the lyrics to a song, but now, she has done away with that rule and gotten more creative by combining songs in mashups and playing up to four in a segment. The first song or three take place on guitar, and then she shifts to piano for the second half before diving beneath the stage to resume the setlist – which has since contracted and expanded to include a Tortured Poets Department era and set .

Below you’ll find Taylor Swift’s surprise songs that she has played most recently in Europe as well as a record of all those she has played on the entire tour so far.

How do you get Taylor Swift's '22' hat? Here's everything we know

The “22" hat is the coveted headwear Taylor Swift fans hope to receive when attending the Eras Tour in stadiums across the world. During Taylor Swift’s magnum opus, she dons the “Red” era fedora along with one of six bejeweled T-shirts: "We are never getting back together like ever," "A lot going on at the moment," "Who’s Taylor Swift anyway? Ew," "This is not Taylor's Version," "I bet you think about me," and "I knew U were trouble."

As the singer skips down the catwalk with her dancers, a lucky fan waits at the end of the stage crying and dancing. When Swift arrives, she takes off the hat, places it on the fan's head and exchanges a friendship bracelet along with a core memory for the chosen Swiftie.

Eight-three hat recipients were selected in 2023 and the beginning of 2024. There are 69 lucky fans left to be crowned as the 3 1/2 hour show heads to Europe and North America.

Here’s everything we know about the Holy Grail of Swift fan fashion.

‘Dress up like hipsters’

Swift signs every brim with a metallic Sharpie. There’s a chic black tag sewn on the inside with the signature of Mexican-American haute couture milliner Gladys Tamez . It also reads “Handmade in Los Angeles.” Tamez is based in the California city and makes a collection of luxury head coverings that cost from $255 to $1550. While the "22" hat is one-of-a-kind, you can get a similar one called “Classic Fedora” for $385.

"I've been like so, so humble and so grateful to do this," says Tamez about being chosen to make the "22" fedora, "because I've worked with her team for a long time and then to have this moment, I was so excited."

One of the timeless, luxurious hats takes about 8-9 hours to mold by hand.

"There's not that many things in the world right now that are handmade," Tamez says. "I want to keep it going."

‘We’re happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time’

How are the fans chosen? Usually, it's random. Fans in the audience (usually dancing on the floor) are hand plucked by Swift's team. In other cases, Swifties have been picked because they went viral demonstrating their fandom to the superstar or they have incredibly inspiring stories. Then there’s those like Selena Gomez's sister, Gracie, or Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s daughter, Bianka, who have a special bond with Swift.

“This lady came and tapped me on the shoulder,” Sarah Frances said in a TikTok explaining how she was randomly chosen for the hat in Atlanta. If you really want to know where Frances was April 29, she was on the floor dancing when a member of Swift's team discovered her.

“She asked me if I could go take a walk with her, which I thought I was in trouble for doing something,” she said. “I thought I was about to go to Taylor jail.”

The same thing happened in Chicago when Tina Avila surprised her daughter Isa with tickets. They were dancing when someone came up to them during the "Speak Now" era.

“It was random,” Avila said in the comments. “We did nothing special but sing our heart outs!”

In Pittsburgh , halfway through “Enchanted," someone came over to Renata Guarlotti and her daughter Katie and said, “I’m with Taylor’s crew, can you come with us? You will want to video this.”

In Minneapolis, Austin ( @austinandmikemn on TikTok ) noticedSwift's parents Andrea and Scott Swift entering the stadium and jumped up-and-down ecstatically asking to trade bracelets. During the concert, Austin was invited to the VIP tent to watch with Swift's parents and then before "22," he was escorted to the end of the stage. Austin smartly brought a Sharpie and asked Swift to sign his shirt.

On night three in Sydney, Swift's team chose Lily Gearside, the 5-year-old Aussie who went viral for her award-winning speech on Taylor Swift. The adorable video caught the attention of the superstar who commented and liked a few of the posts on TikTok. Lily’s mom, Jessica, mentioned where their seats were on social media and tagged Taylor Nation, Swift's marketing account. The mom and daughter had no idea that Lily would be chosen, and they were in the nosebleeds when a woman on Swift’s team came up to them during the “Lover” era. The worker asked them to grab their belongings.

“She takes us to a private lift and we get in with a security guard and it takes us from the 400 section to the ground level,” Jessica explains on TikTok . “We walk through these back sections and arrive at a door that leads to the floor.”

Jessica and Lily were handed wristbands that said “The Fearless Lounge” and escorted to the VIP tent where Swift’s dad Scott wanted to make sure Lily could see the stage. During “Long Live,” a team member came to get Lily and Jessica and lead them past the barricade to the stage.

The pop star is scheduled to kick off the 18-city Europe leg of her record-setting Eras Tour in Paris on Thursday, and planeloads of Swifties plan to follow Miss Americana across the pond in the coming weeks. The arena where Swift is appearing said Americans bought 20% of the tickets for her four sold-out shows. Stockholm, the tour’s next stop, expects about 10,000 concertgoers from the US.

A concert might sound like an odd raison d’etre for visiting a foreign country, especially when fans can watch the Eras Tour from home via the documentary now streaming on Disney+ . Yet online travel company Expedia says continent-hopping by Swift’s devotees is part of a larger trend it dubbed “tour tourism” while observing a pattern that emerged during Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” world tour .

Some North American fans who plan to fly overseas for the Eras Tour said they justified the expense after noticing that tighter restrictions on ticket fees and resales in Europe made seeing Swift perform abroad no more costly — and potentially cheaper — than catching her closer to home.

“They said, ’Wait a minute, I can either spend $1,500 to go see my favorite artist in Miami, or I can take that $1,500 and buy a concert ticket, a round-trip plane ticket, and three nights in a hotel room,” Melanie Fish, an Expedia spokesperson and travel expert, said.

That was the experience of Jennifer Warren, 43, who lives in St. Catharines, a city in the Niagara region of Ontario. She and her 11-year-old son love Swift but had no luck scoring what she considered as decently priced tickets in the US. Undeterred, Warren and her husband decided to plan a European vacation around wherever she managed to get seats. It turned out to be Hamburg, Germany.

“You get out, you get to see the world, and you get to see your favorite artist or performer at the same time, so there are a lot of wins to it,” said Warren, who works as the director of research and innovation for a mutual insurance company.

The three VIP tickets she secured close to the stage — “I would call it brute-force dumb luck” — cost 600 euros ($646) each. Swift subsequently announced six November tour dates in Toronto, within driving distance of Warren’s home. “Absolute nose-bleed seats” already are going for 3,000 Canadian dollars ($2,194) on secondary resale sites like Viagogo, Warren said.

Tour tourism: Is it really a thing?

Hard-core fans trailing their favorite singer or band on tour is not a new phenomenon. “Groupie” emerged in the late 1960s as a somewhat derogatory word for the ardent followers of rock bands. Deadheads took to the road in the 1970s to pursue the Grateful Dead from city to city.

More recently, music festivals like California’s Coachella and England’s Glastonbury, and concert residencies in Las Vegas by the likes of Elton John, Lady Gaga and Adele, have attracted travelers to places they wouldn’t otherwise visit, Fish noted.

Travel and entertainment analysts have also spoken of a pent-up consumer demand for “experiences” over material objects since the coronavirus pandemic. Some think the willingness of music lovers to broaden their fandom horizons is part of the same mass cultural correction.

“It does seem like it’s more than a structural shift, maybe a personality transformation we all went through,” said Natalia Lechmanova, the chief Europe economist for the Mastercard Economics Institute.

As Swift hopscotches across Europe, Lechmanova expects restaurants and hotels to see the same boost that Mastercard observed within a 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) radius of concert venues in the US cities she visited in 2023. The US dollar’s strong value against the euro may also increase retail spending on apparel, memorabilia, beauty products and supplies for the friendship bracelets fans exchange as part of the Eras Tour experience, the economist said.

Former college roommates Lizzy Hale, 34, who lives in Los Angeles, and Mitch Goulding, 33, who lives in Austin, Texas, already had tickets to see the Eras Tour in LA last summer when they decided to try to get ones for Paris, London or Edinburgh, Scotland, too. They saw a Europe concert trip as a makeup for travel plans they had in May 2020 to celebrate Goulding’s birthday but had to cancel due to the pandemic.

Goulding managed to secure VIP tickets for one of Swift’s three Stockholm shows. He, Hale and two other friends scheduled a 10-day trip that also includes time in Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

“As people who enjoy traveling and enjoy music, if you can find an opportunity to combine the two, it’s really special,” said Hale, who is pregnant with her first child.

For Stockholm, 120,000 Swifties can’t be wrong

The local economic impact of what the zeitgeist has termed “Swiftonomics” and the “Swift lift” can be considerable. It’s no wonder the exclusive arrangement Singapore’s government made with Swift to make the city-state her only tour stop in Southeast Asia earlier this year aroused regional jealousy.

No European governments have complained of their countries not being among the dozen selected for the Europe leg of the Eras Tour, although some fans have expressed surprise that Gelsenkirchen, a city with a population of about 264,000 is one of the three cities in Germany that made the cut.

Airbnb reported Tuesday that searches on its platform for the U.K. cities where Swift is performing in June and August — Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London — increased an average of 337% when tickets went on sale last summer.

Not to be outdone when it comes to trend-spotting, the property rentals company cited the demand as an example of “passion tourism,” or travel “driven by concerts, sports and other cultural events.”

In Stockholm, 120,000 out-of-towners from 130 countries — among them 10,000 from the US — are expected to swarm Sweden’s capital this month, Stockholm Chamber of Commerce Chief Economist Carl Bergqvist said. Stockholm is the only Scandinavian city on Swift’s tour, and airlines added extra flights from nearby Denmark, Finland and Norway to bring people to the May 17-19 shows, he said.

The city’s 40,000 hotel rooms are sold out even though prices skyrocketed for the tour dates, Bergqvist said. Concert visitors are expected to pump around 500 million Swedish kroner, or over $46 million, into the local economy over the course of their stays, an estimate that does not include what they paid for Swift tickets or to get to Sweden, he said.

“So this is going to be huge for the tourism sector in Sweden and Stockholm in particular,” Bergqvist said.

Nightclubs, restaurants and bars are seizing the opportunity to cater to fans with Taylor Swift-themed events, such as karaoke, quizzes and after-concert dance parties.

Houston resident Caroline Matlock, 29, saw Swift more than a year ago when the Eras Tour came to the Texas city. Now she’s making more friendship bracelets and trying to learn a few words of Swedish as she prepares to see the 3 1/2-hour show in Stockholm. The idea of seeing Swift in Europe was her friend’s, and Matlock needed some persuading at first.

“I was like, ‘I only want to go if it’s a country I haven’t been to. I’ve seen Taylor Swift,’” she said.

Visiting the Scandinavian cities of Oslo and Gothenburg is on their itinerary. The concert is the last night of the trip and Matlock looks forward to interacting with Swifties from other countries: “Americans tend to have a very obsessive culture, especially Taylor Swift-related, so I’m curious if the crowd will be more toned-down.”

Will tour tourism endure after Eras?

It remains to be seen if the music tourism trend has legs as long and strong as Swift’s and Beyoncé’s, and if it will carry over to Billie Eilish, Usher and other artists with world tours scheduled next year. Expedia’s Fish thinks other big-name artists in Europe this summer will prove that booking a foreign trip around a concert is catching on.

Kat Morga, a travel consultant based in Nashville, isn’t so sure. Morga saw Swift perform in Nashville last year and helped two clients with school-aged children book European family vacations this summer that include seeing Swift in concert. But she thinks the difficulty of navigating ticket purchases through language barriers, currency conversions, international banking regulations and the risk of cancellations will limit the appeal of regular gig getaways.

“I think this is an anomaly,” Morga said. “People aren’t typically going to build their $20,000 huge family vacation only because Taylor Swift is there. She’s the one-off. She’s special.”

Booking Holdings CEO Glenn Fogel, whose company operates Booking.com, priceline.com, agoda.com, Kayak and OpenTable, is even less enthusiastic about concert tours as a tourism instigator. The Swift Effect causes a “little blip” when the superstar goes to smaller destinations, but for the worldwide travel industry, “one star touring around does not make a difference,” he said.

“It may just shift it a little bit. A person was going to go to the Caribbean for a week vacation. Instead that person (says), ‘Let’s travel to the Taylor Swift thing,’” Fogel said. “It doesn’t increase it. It just moves it from here to there.”

All About Taylor Swift’s Parents, Scott and Andrea Swift

preview for Taylor Swift’s Iconic Career Evolution

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

Taylor Swift has risen to wild levels of fame, especially with her incredibly successful Eras Tour. While the pop star certainly deserves most of the credit, her parents have undeniably been the wind beneath her wings throughout her career. Scott and Andrea Swift recognized their daughter’s talent early and supported her in all her pursuits.

Not every dad would notice their kid likes to sing and go the extra mile to help them follow their dreams, but Scott did. And Andrea was right beside them both. Here’s everything to know about the couple behind the star.

Who are Scott and Andrea Swift?

Aside from being parents to one of the world's biggest stars? Andrea worked as a marketing manager at an advertising agency, while Scott was a stockbroker who eventually served as vice president for Merrill Lynch. They were married on Feb. 20, 1988, in Texas. Taylor was born on Dec. 13, 1989, and her younger brother, Austin, arrived on March 11, 1992.

As business-minded people, they likely weren’t expecting such a creative kid. Her mom, at least, was thinking of a future where her daughter worked in business and named her to help protect her from gender discrimination. Taylor told Rolling Stone in 2009, “My mom thought it was cool that if you got a business card that said ‘Taylor,’ you wouldn’t know if it was a guy or a girl...She wanted me to be a business person in a business world.”

They are also both cancer survivors.

In a Tumblr post in 2015, Taylor shared that Andrea had been diagnosed with the disease. She kept the specifics private but added, “She wanted you to know. She wanted you to know why she may not be at as many shows this tour. She’s got an important battle to fight.”

In an essay for ELLE in 2019, Taylor said Andrea’s cancer had returned and revealed that Scott had also undergone treatment for cancer. The family have kept further medical details understandably private.

How did Scott and Andrea encourage Taylor Swift when she was a kid?

Swift has talked a lot about how she grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, which is not a place with a million opportunities to sing. They made sure to shuttle her to local gigs and karaoke nights to start.

They eventually moved to Hendersonville, the suburbs of Nashville, for more opportunities. To get some attention, the family started passing out tapes of Taylor singing karaoke.

“My mom waited in the car with my little brother while I knocked on doors up and down Music Row,” Taylor told Entertainment Weekly in 2008. “I would say, ‘Hi, I'm Taylor. I’m 11. I wanted a record deal—call me.’”

She did land a record deal with Sony when she was only 14. Despite Taylor’s youth, Andrea told Entertainment Weekly that she never pressured her daughter into anything.

“There would always be an escape hatch into normal life if she decided this wasn’t something she had to pursue,” Andrea said in the 2008 interview. “And of course that’s like saying to her, ‘If you want to stop breathing, that’s cool.’”

They also tried not to frame the move to Nashville as being exclusively for Taylor.

“I never wanted to make that move about her ‘making it,’” Andrea told EW . “Because what a horrible thing if it hadn’t happened, for her to carry that kind of guilt or pressure around...And we moved far enough outside Nashville to where she didn’t have to be going to school with producers’ kids and label presidents’ kids and be reminded constantly that she was struggling to make it...We’ve always told her that this is not about putting food on our table or making our dreams come true.”

But after Taylor made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry in September 2006, Andrea was the one who went on the tour with her daughter. When Taylor won her first Grammy Awards for her album Fearless , Taylor dedicated the award to her parents.

“This is for all those times that you said I could do whatever I wanted in life,” she said. “And my mom, you’re my best friend.”

How are Andrea and Scott involved in Taylor Swift’s life now?

Shortly after her first cancer diagnosis, Andrea accompanied Taylor onstage at the ACM Awards. Swift was being honored with the Milestone Award.

“I’ve watched this milestone artist from the time she was a tangled-hair little girl…Full of imagination and creativity until right now, when she prepares for her next world tour. I’m a very proud mom,” Andrea said

Scott is also incredibly proud of his daughter, but in her Netflix documentary Taylor Swift: Miss Americana , Taylor revealed he carries a lot of worry. The conversation came up after she publicly supported two Democratic candidates in her home state of Tennessee in 2018, after many years of staying quiet about politics of any kind.

“This was a situation where, from a humanity perspective, and from what my moral compass was telling me I needed to do, I knew was right, and I really didn’t care about repercussions,” Taylor said of the decision. “My dad is terrified of threats against my safety and my life, and he has to see how many stalkers we deal with on a daily basis, and know that this is his kid. It’s where he comes from.”

They’ve both been supporting Taylor through her massive Eras Tour.

Scott was at the kickoff in March 2023, wearing a “D.O.H. Pass” meaning, “Dad of Headliner.”

In April 2023, Taylor shouted the couple out in Houston. In a video posted on TikTok , she says, “I love you, Houston. You treat us like Houston is my mom’s hometown, which it is. You treat us like this is where my parents got married, which it is.”

In Philadelphia in Mother’s Day, in a video on Twitter , Taylor sang “The Best Day,” a song she wrote for her mom in 2008.

“I wrote this song just compiling these sort of core childhood memories I had of not just her as a mother, but her as a friend,” she explained, adding her mom responded to the tune by saying, “‘It’s such a beautiful song. Where did you find it? It sounds exactly like the things we went through.’”

Taylor continued, “I was like, ‘Mom, I wrote it and recorded it secretly; it is our memories.’ It was the sweetest thing ever because I just think she couldn’t have comprehended that I would write a song about the two of us.”

Both of them were at the Los Angeles premiere of her Eras Tour film in October of 2023.

They both like Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Travis Kelce and Scott were both in Argentina for Taylor’s show in Buenos Aires, standing in the VIP section. Scott has also been spotted in the VIP box at football games alongside his daughter when the Kansas City Chiefs are playing. In December, he and Andrea met Kelce’s dad, Ed Kelce, at a game.

And Scott and Andrea were both present when the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl this year. In a TikTok from Taylor, her parents could be seen partying at Zouk nightclub at Resorts World in Las Vegas following the win.
