Thousands of Filipino Swifties gathered for the encore edition of the #WeWantErasTourPhilippines campaign. 

Helmed by Philippine-based Taylor Swift fan group, Swifties Philippines , the event first took place at Ayala Malls Manila Bay last March. After the first successful run, the group held another leg at Ayala Malls Trinoma on 21 May.

Taylor Swift Taps Paramore for European Eras Tour Run

Taylor Swift knows we need more — so she’s giving us just that. The singer has added 14 more shows to the European/U.K. leg of her Eras Tour , and announced that Paramore will provide support throughout the trek.

“Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour,” Swift wrote on Twitter Wednesday, July 5. “And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore !! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???”

Last month, Swift added dozens of shows to her Taylor Swift: The Eras stadium tour — bringing the total count of shows to a whooping 104 nights . She also extended her run at Los Angeles’ So-Fi Stadium with a sixth show scheduled for Aug. 7.

The new addition comes after the singer announced shows in Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Europe earlier this week. (See below for the full tour dates.)

“EXCUSE ME HI I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY 🙋‍♀️,” she wrote on Instagram. “I can’t wait to see so many of you on The Eras Tour next year at these new international dates!”

She also added more dates to her already-announced Latin America tour. After wrapping her U.S. dates in Los Angeles on Aug. 9, Swift will head to Mexico City for four straight shows at Foro Sol starting Aug. 24. She’ll then stop in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil in November.

Swift first announced the tour last October after she completely took over the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 with Midnights . The added dates, which follow the addition of eight new shows last week, were slotted in “due to unprecedented demand,” according to the singer’s camp.

“Good Morning America, it’s Taylor,” Swift said during the announcement. “I wanted to tell you something that I’ve been so excited about for a really long time and I’ve been planning for ages, and I finally get to tell you I’m going back on tour. The tour is called the ‘Eras’ tour, and it’s a journey through all of my musical eras of my career.”

She gave us 8 shows last week, honey, but we want ‘em all. 💕 Due to unprecedented demand for tickets to #TSTheErasTour , Taylor has added 17 more shows in the US! https://t.co/ebjX0GgXTu pic.twitter.com/1NQeUZ7vml — Taylor Nation (@taylornation13) November 11, 2022

Selena Gomez Says She's Unsure If She'll Tour Again: It's 'Emotionally Draining'

Charly bliss will hit the road but not before 'calling you out', clairo announces five-night residencies in los angeles and new york.

Across the tour, Swift is being supported in select cities by a combination of special guests including Paramore, beabadoobee, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in red, MUNA, HAIM, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams, and OWENN.

The Eras tour follows the cancelation of her planned 2020 Lover Fest tour, which was originally going to see her make stadium stops in Los Angeles, Boston, and New York, along with Brazil, Denmark, Norway, and Poland. “This is an unprecedented pandemic that has changed everyone’s plans and no one knows what the touring landscape is going to look like in the near future,” she wrote in 2021.

Swift last went the road in 2018 for her massive Reputation Stadium Tour , which saw Swift accompanied by the likes of Charli XCX and Camila Cabello across the United States, the United Kingdom, along with Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. The tour was the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist that year.

Since her last tour, Swift has released four albums and two re-releases: Lover , Folklore , Evermore , Midnights , and Taylor’s Version editions of Fearless and Red with additional songs. In total, she’s dropped 90 tracks of new material, not including collaborations with the likes of Haim and Big Red Machine.

Fans have long wondered what music she’ll be performing on the road, with some theorizing that she’d host a residency in Las Vegas or a music festival where she’d perform different “eras” on different nights.

Along with packing her setlist with songs from Reputation in 2018, she surprised each city with an acoustic rendition of fan favorites like “Red,” “Holy Ground,” and “Wildest Dreams.” At select shows, she also brought out special guests. Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez, Hayley Kiyoko, and Maren Morris were among the artists to be brought out by Swift.

She previously took her 1989 album on the road for 85 dates, where she was accompanied by the likes of Mendes, James Bay, Vance Joy, and Haim. Before then was The Red Tour in 2013 and 2014, and her Speak Now World Tour from 2011 to 2012.

Taylor Swift has only played US shows. So Filipino Swifties made their own ‘Eras Tour’

Sign up for Semafor Flagship: The daily global news briefing you can trust. Read it now .

In this article:

Taylor Swift has so far only announced that she’s bringing her acclaimed Eras Tour to cities in the United States.

So mega-fans in the Philippines took it upon themselves to host their own version of the tour over the weekend, packing a mall in metro Manila for a concert that matched much of the original.

The event also served as a live petition to urge Swift to visit Manila on tour, oila, orrganizers said.

Mac Coronel, a drag performer who also goes by “Taylor Sheesh,” stood in for Swift at the show, dancing and lip syncing along to Swift’s hits for nearly an hour and a half with nine costume changes.

The show matched many of the details on Swift’s tour, down to the costumes, digital backdrops, choreography, and effects. It featured a crew of backup dancers and a confetti cannon at the end of the set.

Over 30 Swifties that are part of a fan group in the Philippines organized “The Eras Festival” as a free event at the TriNoma Activity Center in Quezon City, just outside Manila. In addition to the concert, it also included shop, booths, and merchandise that fans could purchase.

The group has hosted past fan gatherings around Manila to celebrate Swift.

No international dates have been announced for The Eras Tour, so Filipino Swifties don’t know if Swift will make it to Manila for an official show.

It’s a feeling they know all too well . Swift didn’t play a show in the Philippines on either of her last two tours, and hasn’t toured in the country since 2014, when she played a venue just outside Manila.

When she announced her current tour in November, Swift said she hoped to announce international dates “as soon as we can.”

The fans’ message to Swift after Sunday’s event: “We know that The Eras Tour has a big production, and our country’s venue availability is a bit of a challenge, but we are still hoping for your kind consideration,” organizers told Semafor.

“You can casually show up here with just you and your guitar and we will still give you a decade’s worth of energy, and make sure to make each and every second of your stay worth it.’”

• With no international tour dates announced, some non-U.S. Swifties have flown to the country to see a show. And some American Beyoncé fans are doing the opposite , since tickets to the Renaissance World Tour are generally cheaper and more available overseas.
• The Philippines is known for the “religious-like reverence” of its pop music fandoms that help define the entertainment industry there, Nylon Manila wrote. But groups of fans have also banded together to give back through social, political, and environmental causes.

Meet The Filipina Pianist In Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

As we hope Taylor Swift brings her Eras Tour to the Philippines, there is a little Filipino connection with her pianist, Karina DePiano.

Related: Trend Alert: Taylor Swift Is Making The Whole World Shimmer

If you’re a Swiftie, or just scrolling on social media these past few days, then you would know that the biggest pop star in the world, aka Taylor Swift, just began her record-breaking  Eras Tour . Glendale, Arizona was temporarily renamed Swift City in honor of the moment, with the first two nights of the concert being held there. With over 44 songs performed and multiple outfit changes, Taylor brought out all the stops for her latest and longest concert to date.

Across three hours, Taylor went through most of her eras (justice for  Debut ) in a music spectacular unlike any other. Among the many moments that have caught fans’ attention on social media include a part where Taylor dives into the stage and seemingly swims up the stage and the inclusion of the  Bejeweled  TikTok dance in the official choreography of the song.

It then comes to no surprise that international Swifties have been begging Taylor to reveal the dates for the international leg of the tour. And no more is this chant louder than in the Philippines. When Filipino fans organize an event just to convince Taylor to bring the tour to the Philippines, you know it’s serious. But while we wait for Team Taylor to announce international dates (hopefully with the Philippines included), that doesn’t mean blondie has completely forgotten about Filipinos. The  Eras Tour  has a bit of Pinoy representation in one of its band members being a Filipina, and her name is Karina DePiano.

SHE PLAYS THE PIANO

Karina DePiano, an appropriate last name for someone who plays the piano for a living, is a professional pianist, music director, and producer. Born and raised in San Diego, California, Karina has an Italian father and a Filipina mother. And while she did grow up in a mixed family, her Filipino roots were always there. In an interview , she shared that her Filipino side of the family lived in Los Angeles, and thus, she was able to see them often. Her mom spoke to her in Tagalog, which is why she understands it quite well. Classic Filipino food like adobo, sinigang, menudo, chicken afritada, lumpia, pancit, and more were also on the menu at the DePiano household.

“I feel extremely connected to my Filipino heritage. Living in Los Angeles provides me with such a rich connection to Filipino culture because of the big Filipino population here. I also feel so lucky that my immediate family lives here—I’ve grown up being able to hear their personal stories, learn more about my culture, and most importantly devour my Lola’s cooking,” she explained.

Karina learned to play the piano when she was six and graduated from the University of Southern California’ Thornton School of Music’s Popular Music Program with an emphasis on keyboard performance. While she was initially set to train in classical piano, she pivoted to pop music, a wise decision given her extensive career.

PIANIST TO THE STARS

Over the years, Karina has assembled a hefty resume, working with some of the biggest pop stars in the world. It’s a list that includes Troye Sivan, Miley Cyrus, Fifth Harmony, Rita Ora, Daya, Julia Michaels, Kesha, and Alessia Cara. She performed at the  American Music Awards  with Olivia Rodrigo and was the keyboardist for NIKI’s  Nicole  world tour in 2022. (If you went to Head In The Clouds In Manila, then you would have seen her with NIKI during her day two closing set.) Her TV show appearances include  Saturday Night Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show , and more.

Now, Karina has the honor of joining a new family on the  Eras Tour  as the pianist and being part of what is sure to be one of the biggest tours in music history. By the way, this actually isn’t the first time Karina has worked with Taylor. In 2021, she appeared in Swift’s  I Bet You Think About Me  music video where she played the keyboard with the band in the end. This was probably one of Taylor’s complex easter eggs to tease that she was joining the tour. Now that Taylor Swift has that Filipina band member, all she needs to do now is announce those Philippine tour dates.

AUDIOJUNKIE: Taylor Swift brings biggest tour of 2023 to the movie screen

At a glance.

The best part of a show is always the opener, and this is no exception. With “Miss American & The Heartbreak Prince” providing an ethereal sounding overture, the tension builds as what seemed like giant peacocks strut the length of a long catwalk-of-a-stage and converge in the middle, and boom!

Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour is the biggest concert draw of the year and now the biggest concert film of the year as it reaches blockbuster status at the tills with good reason.

The concert movie starts without so much fuss and fanfare. Just a 13-second clock countdown until the celebration kicks off. And when the first few images come on screen, we’re transported to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, where a sold-out Eras Tour show is about to erupt.

Taylor Swift is at the center—in glittery tights, knee-high boots, like a superheroine--elevated six feet on a block piece of stage as she segues into “Cruel Summer.”

“Alright Los Angeles, we have arrived…” Swift beckoned, “at the very first bridge of the evening. Now, I’ve a question. Does anybody here know the lyrics to this bridge? Prove it!” To which the whole stadium obliged.

The Eras Tour is the culmination of Swift’s music career so far. And every major phase is highlighted in this live re-telling. The Lover Era, Fearless Era, Red Era, and so forth. And while it goes without saying, each phase has its share of a Taylor Swift hit. But played in the Eras setting, it takes on a life of its own. “The Man'' kicked up the pitch a notch higher early on, with its 80’s flavor providing a counterpoint to Swift’s subsequent reading of “Lover” that was especially sentimental. And you know the years have gone by when songs like “Fearless,” “You Belong With Me,” and “Love Story” feel like a welcome throwback.

Swift, with her squad of dancers, a crack unit of backup singers, and a merry band of musicians, were all needed to flesh out and interpret the music and more. But coupled with the massive stage display that seems to move with Taylor and the gang, it brings it to another level.

Over three hours, Swift took us on a musical, mood, and atmospheric ride; the highlights are plenty.  The Evermore phase included a reading of “Willow,” where Taylor and her coven of dancers in their cloaks and lighted pumpkins brought an arty-gothic feel to the proceedings. Ditto the dinner scene fight between lovers in moody “Marjorie.” Each song, cut on its own, is a stand-out performance.

Midway, an exceptionally slick and sassy Reputation Era set, raised the bar further with stunning visuals. From the catwalk, turning into a gigantic serpent (during “Ready For It?”) and later turning into a pool that Taylor dove into. The stage and effects of the LCD tech were a spectacle in itself. Only the imagination was the limit here, and Taylor Swift and her team definitely didn’t skimp on that.  

With over 40 songs, high points are a-plenty. The 10-minute version of “All Too Well” is easily one of them, as is Swift's solo piano on “You’re On Your Own, Kid.” The Folklore set is a personal favorite:  “The1,” “Betty,” the ballroom set of “The Last Great American Dynasty,” and ethereal “August” then later, Taylor almost howls, “Don’t call me kid! Don’t call me baby!” as she jumped right into the chorus of “Illicit Affairs.”

And still, there’s more as the Midnight's Era takes us up to speed where Taylor Swift is right now: At the top of her game, the most influential artist of her generation and easily one of the all-time greats.

After snub by Taylor Swift, Filipino 'Swifties' find solace in another Taylor

Ashley Westerman

Taylor Sheesh, the Philippines' top Taylor Swift impersonator, has set out on her own tour across the country in a bid to get the global superstar's attention.

MANILA, Philippines — On a recent Saturday night at Brooklyn Warehouse, a large event space in Metro Manila, a tall thin blonde steps onto a long black stage lit up by dancing strobe lights and the glow of hundreds of smartphones set to record.

The crowd loses its mind as she struts, twirls and dances down the stage, clasping a black microphone in one hand.

Her soundtrack?

Taylor Swift's "Lavender Haze ."

But she's not singing.

And though her hair, makeup and sparkly tasseled dress are all on point — she is not Taylor Swift.

She is Taylor Sheesh, the Philippines' top Taylor Swift impersonator, whose own tour around the country is uplifting the spirits of Filipino Swifties (what Swift's fans call themselves), disappointed that the real Taylor did not add the country to the Asian leg of her The Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift: Tiny Desk Concert

Taylor Sheesh is the drag persona of Mac Coronel, 28, of Manila. He says that even though he's been impersonating Swift onstage since late March, it can still take hours to get into character.

"If ever there's a big production, it will take one or two weeks because I need to practice the [choreography], the costumes and her makeup and also the wig," he told NPR. "So I'm trying to get 90% accurate."

It's working.

In recent months, Taylor Sheesh has skyrocketed in popularity on social media. Now she's filling event spaces with her concerts, all involving lip-syncing a medley of Swift songs carefully edited together.

Coronel thinks it's "so very sad" that Swift isn't coming to the Philippines.

"So we're trying to get her attention because the Philippines is Taylor Nation Country," he says.

Indeed, for years Swift has dominated Philippine rankings for the most-streamed artist. And last year, according to Spotify, she was the country's No. 1 listened-to artist.

This devotion has spilled into ticket sales for Swift's concert schedule for other parts of Asia, such as Singapore, where she will be performing six concerts.

Klook, a Manila-based travel agency and official partner for The Eras Tour's Singapore dates next year, reported that not only did its travel packages to Singapore — which come with two concert tickets and a hotel room and cost the equivalent of hundreds of dollars — sell out in less than 24 hours, most of their customers to snap them up were from the Philippines.

Though Swift did perform in the Philippines in 2014, the reasons for her not coming now vary, though none are certain.

Many disappointed Swifties NPR spoke with bemoan the Philippines' lack of money to afford Swift shows, as well as the lack of concert infrastructure, namely a stadium big enough to cater to her — both valid arguments, says Peter Delantar, president of Insignia Presents, a Manila-based concert promoter and events company.

Not only can artists' fees be a huge expense, but the Philippines' only conveniently located stadiums can also only hold about 12,000 people, Delantar says. "I feel like there's a lot more artists now that are able to sell 10,000-plus tickets. Infrastructure-wise, we haven't been able to catch up."

Taylor Swift just made Billboard history, again

As Filipinos blame themselves for failing to lure Swift to perform in their country, they hold out hope.

"It's OK," Swiftie Nika Cel Benitez, 22, of the Philippine province of Cavite, says. "Maybe there will be a next time that she'll be coming here."

For now, she says, a night out with friends seeing Swift's greatest Filipino impersonator will have to do.

Verified Fan Presales begin on Nov. 15, Ticketmaster said.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour book looks: See the beautiful book covers that scream Swift

If your TikTok feed is anything like ours, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has taken over your life. We set our watches to alert us when it’s secret song time , we text our Swifties group chat which outfits she’s wearing in any given show and of course we’ve hosted a friendship-bracelet-making night. 

And as book lovers, we figured the best thing to do with all of this energy and devotion… was to match book covers to Taylor’s different Eras costumes! (Please note, we’re just going for the covers here, not the actual content of the book.) 

If you have tickets to a later show date and are (somehow) avoiding tour spoilers, consider yourself warned.

' Lover' era: 'Song of Silver, Flame Like Night' by Amélie Wen Zhao

You see the clock countdown on the screen. You hear a soft, repeated “it’s been a long time coming” –– and you know you’re about to have the best night of your life.

Up first in the Eras Tour is Taylor Swift’s 'Lover' era, in which Taylor emerges from a cloudlike petal in this gorgeous custom Atelier Versace bodysuit adorned with reflective blue, pink and silver jewels. 

These jewels perfectly match the cover of Amélie Wen Zhao’s "Song of Silver, Flame Like Night," a YA fantasy inspired by the mythology and folklore of ancient China. In this story, one girl must find out the secrets of her nation’s past — and unveil the demons that sleep in its center.

' Fearless' era: 'Lies We Sing to the Sea' by Sarah Underwood

Taylor goes back in time to her Grammy-award winning 'Fearless' era, with hand hearts, twirls and country twang. And yes, she’s ready to dance in a storm in this Roberto Cavalli gold dress. 

The fringe of this dress goes swimmingly with the golden waves featured on the cover of Sarah Underwood’s Sapphic Greek mythological fantasy "Lies We Sing to the Sea." If you’re a fan of "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller or "Lore" by Alexandra Bracken, check this title out.

• "Lies We Sing to the Sea" for $18 at Amazon
• "Lies We Sing to the Sea" for $19 at Bookshop.org

' Evermore' era: 'Painted Devils' by Margaret Owen

Ethereal, witchy and so divine, the 'Evermore' era is next up! In a corseted and beaded yellow Etro dress, Taylor gives an homage to her opera-singing grandmother and sings fan-favorite "Champagne Problems" at the piano before a minutes-long break for applause. 

We love how cottage-core this dress is, and the vibes and detailing go hand-in-hand with Margaret Owen’s "Painted Devils." In this much-awaited sequel to "Little Thieves," we revisit Vanja, the adopted daughter of Death and Fortune as she accidentally starts a cult, much like intro to the "Evermore" set of the show! This is a classic-feeling fairy tale that will put you in the headspace for a full listen of your "Evermore" vinyl. 

• "Painted Devils" for $15 at Amazon
• "Painted Devils" for $20 at Bookshop.org

' Reputation' era: 'Eclipse' by Stephenie Meyer

Are you ready for it? The 'Reputation' era is bombastic, bold, and absolutely iconic –– just look at this Roberto Cavalli catsuit! 

Because "Reputation" is so unforgettable and also because we couldn’t get this image out of our heads from the moment we saw it, we think "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer is the best book look to go with it.

Don’t blame us, this pair is perfection.

• "Eclipse" for $14 at Amazon
• "Eclipse" for $16 at Bookshop.org

' Speak Now' era: 'Foul Lady Fortune' by Chloe Gong

We are so enchanted to meet you… and also to have "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)" in our hands soon. We were all shocked that the "Speak Now" set of the Eras tour is only one song long, but what a song it is! And Taylor looks absolutely enchanting in this Nicole + Felicia ball gown. 

"Foul Lady Fortune" by Chloe Gong is not only an amazing color match for this dress, but there's also a trail of smoke emerging from the bottle on the cover, much like the smoke Taylor disappears into at the end of the song. Plus, for all the longtime Swifties, doesn’t the bottle remind you of the Wonderstruck perfume from the "Speak Now" era?

• "Foul Lady Fortune" for $18 at Amazon
• "Foul Lady Fortune" for $24 at Bookshop.org

' Red' era: 'A Fire Endless' by Rebecca Ross

Loving him was red, burning red… a fire endless, you might say. We are obsessed with this epic Ashish romper and matching coat that Taylor wears for all 10 minutes of "All Too Well" during the "Red" set of the Eras Tour. 

We love how the pop of the guitar puts the focus on the harp on the cover of Rebecca Ross’ "A Fire Endless," the sequel to her adult fantasy "A River Enchanted."

This duology makes a great comfort read for rainy days. It's inspired by Scottish folktales and feels like a modern classic. 

• "A Fire Endless" for $19 at Amazon
• "A Fire Endless" for $19 at Bookshop.org

' Folklore' era: 'The Great Transition' by Nick Fuller Googins

Moody, wistful and flowing, Taylor’s "Folklore" set features some of her most show-stopping vocals, especially when she kneels on the ground to belt "Illicit Affairs" in this bohemian-inspired Alberta Ferretti dress. 

The rippling fabric reminds us of water and sky, so "The Great Transition" by Nick Fuller Googins is a gorgeous fit. This is a climate utopia novel for fans of Emily St. John Mandel following a family navigating crisis –– it comes out in August, so preorder your copy!'

• "The Great Transition" for $25 at Amazon
• "The Great Transition" for $26 at Bookshop.org

' 1989' era: 'Revelle' by Lyssa Mia Smith

Swift is that girl in this Roberto Cavalli top and skirt. At first glance this set looks monochromatic, but up close the beading pattern reveals a complicated, kaleidoscope-like pattern. 

Welcome to New York! "Revelle" by Lyssa Mia Smith couldn’t be a better fit for this outfit if it tried. This magical YA fantasy is inspired by Moulin Rouge but set in Prohibition-era New York City. 

Oh, Taylor, we wish you would tell us when "1989 (Taylor’s Version)" is on its way!

• "Revelle" for $20 at Amazon
• "Revelle" for $19 at Bookshop.org

' Midnights' era: 'Glitterland' by Alexis Hall

Meet her at midnight! And by the "Midnights: set of the Eras Tour, it really is close to midnight! To close out her epic three and a half hour show, Taylor shimmers in this Oscar de la Renta bodysuit. 

What could be a better fit for our bejeweled queen than "Glitterland" by Alexis Hall ? This sparkling LGBTQ romance follows Ash Winters, a former literary darling turned pulpy crime-fiction writer and Darian Taylor, an Essex-lad who is flashy and full of life. Like Taylor’s "Midnights" album, this story focuses on mental health, specifically depression, and we loved watching their love unfold. Read this romance expecting plenty of mirror balls!

• "Glitterland" for $6 at Amazon
• "Glitterland" for $16 at Bookshop.org

Taylor Swift Will Reportedly Add More Eras Tour Dates For Summer 2025

The Eras Tour is the gift that keeps on giving. Taylor Swift has been on tour since March 2023, giving us surprise songs , friendship bracelet opportunities, and a plethora of celebrity guests , and it looks like she could extend her concert schedule even farther. I have personally been wondering if we’ll live in Eras Tour Land until we get TS12 (after all, there IS enough space on the merch for one more era) and now I’m even further convinced. Hopefully she comes to some cities she's missed !

Is the Eras tour going into 2025?

It looks like Taylor Swift could definitely extend the Eras Tour into 2025, especially since she just added a whole set following the release of The Tortured Poets Department .

"Taylor Swift's tour is not slowing down," says a DeuxMoi source. "There will be dates announced back in the United States for next summer." Summer 2023 was THE summer of girlhood thanks to the Eras Tour and Speak Now (Taylor Version) , as well as Barbie and The Summer I Turned Pretty — and 2025 is definitely going to be just as fun.

What cities is Taylor Swift bringing the Eras Tour to?

Image via Haley Sprankle/Brit + Co

We don't have an official list of cities yet, but if Taylor Swift does extend the Eras Tour, LA and New York are just two cities she could return to. I'd love to see her visit Charlotte, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and all the other cities she hasn't visited yet!

Is The Eras Tour ending with TS12?

Image via Taylor Swift/UMG

My personal theory is that Taylor Swift will do the Eras Tour until she releases TS12. The Tortured Poets Department and her supposed upcoming album seem to be part of a countdown, and since there's space on the Eras Tour merch for one more era after TTPD , I feel like we could get ANOTHER new album and set before Taylor's tour ends.

Taylor Swift Resumes ‘Eras Tour’ in Madrid: What Time Will It Start in EST Zone?

When Taylor Swift ’s Eras Tour makes a stop in Madrid this week, fans from around the world will be watching.

While the singer, 34, has mostly performed on weekends since kicking off her tour in March 2023, she will stray from her regular schedule to perform two shows at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Spain on Wednesday, May 29, and Thursday, May 30. The concert will begin at 6:45 p.m. local time, with Paramore serving as the opening act. Madrid is six hours ahead of the East Coast, so it will be 12:45 p.m. EST when Paramore takes the stage.

Swift is expected to kick off her set at 8 p.m. local time, which will be 2 p.m. EST. Her “surprise song” acoustic segment will take place at 10:40 p.m. in Madrid, meaning East Coast-based fans can tune in to livestreams and social media updates at 4:40 p.m. to see which songs she performs. The concert will conclude 35 minutes later.

Prior to traveling to Spain, Swift put on two shows in Lisbon, Portugal, on Friday, May 24, and Saturday, May 25. She grew emotional during Saturday’s concert due to the audience’s excitement over her first-ever tour stop in the country.

“I’ve just never seen a crowd like this in my life,” Swift said. “There have been moments in this show already where I, like, forget what I’m supposed to do next or what I’m supposed to say because I’m just so distracted by how much fun you’re having and how you’re performing in the audience. I love this.”

She added: “You’re just so in the moment and I cannot tell you how special that is for us as performers to get to look out and make eye contact with you and connect with you in this way.”

Swift emphasized that it was “an absolute dream” to perform the Eras Tour abroad.

“There is, before I start crying, there is one song that I want to play you from the Red album if you happen to have about 10 minutes to spare,” she told the crowd before singing the 10-minute version of “All Too Well.”

After wrapping up her final show in Portugal, Swift gushed over the experience via Instagram . “It’s official, I left my 🤍 in Lisbon,” she wrote. “My first time in Portugal and you all made me feel like I was right at home. I’ll seriously never forget the way you treated us, the overwhelming love and passion and hands in the air and dancing and how you screamed every lyric!! Muito obrigada 🇵🇹.”

Swift will next bring the Eras Tour to Lyon, France, for two concerts on Sunday, June 2, and Monday, June 3, before continuing the European leg throughout the summer.
