Look what you made her do! After a five year absence from touring, Taylor Swift's Era tour has arrived — kicking off at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. — and the Swifties are certainly going to be Enchanted.
The three-hour long show featured over 45 songs spanning all ten albums from Taylor's 17-year career, and saw the 33-year-old celebrate her eras with show-stopping outfit changes.
Taylor's first live tour since the end of the Reputation tour in 2018 was a triumphant return for the Grammy-winning singer, who found herself at the center of a storm in November when Ticketmaster failed to be able to manage the demand for tickets; the Eras Tour has since become a record breaking tour, as two million tickets were sold on November 15, the most tickets ever sold for an artist in a single day.
Taylor opened the show with deafening applause from the audience - many of whom came in outfits inspired by their favorite albums - as she launched into the Lover album singing 'Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince' before leading into 'Cruel Summer'.
"Let me start by saying you're making me feel fantastic... welcome to the Eras tour!" Taylor said to the more than 70,000 fans at Glendale's State Farm Stadium before sharing that she would be performing tracks from each era, and the whirlwind following hours saw the superstar take fans on a journey through her very different eras - country ingenue to pop princess and folklore witch - seamlessly, with stand out moments including the Folklore house, first seen in the 2021 Grammys, and a sultry burlesque scene for 'Vigilante S**t'.
Lover led into Fearless, into Evermore, before it was on to Reputation, and only one song from Speak Now, 'Enchanted;' - another hint that Taylor's Version of her third album may be up next.
Red, Folklore, and 1989 came next before she sang one acoustic track, 'Tim McGraw', from her self-titled debut album.
With over 229 songs in her discography there was always going to be something missing, and iconic tracks including 'Teardrops On My Guitar', 'Mean', and 'Red' were not in the set for opening night, but as she sat, solo, with her guitar at the end of the runway, Taylor revealed she hoped to perform a different acoustic track each night for the different tour dates, and with a catalog this big, she won't have any problems.
Her latest album, Midnights, closed the show with seven tracks making their way into the setlist. Bringing back out all of her dancers for the final three songs - 'Bejeweled', 'Mastermind', and 'Karma', the show ended with fireworks, confetti and 70,000 dancing and singing along.
For Taylor, and her fans, it's been a long wait back to this moment, but karma is, indeed, a queen - and this was worth the wait.
