Taylor Swift will perform at 152 shows in 2023 and 2024. This is a list of all of the cities and important announcements surrounding the tour.

What is the Eras Tour set list?

The Eras Tour has featured a massive 45-song set list you can check out here. But speculation is swirling it won’t look the same when Swift takes the stage in Paris.

Will Taylor Swift add ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ to her set list?

The tortured poet has been on hiatus keeping her stamina up by releasing a double album of 31 tracks. The 2-hours-and-2-minutes project broke a number of Billboard records as the superstar did zero press to promote it. Fans flocked to stores and streaming services to listen to all the songs from “Fortnight” to “The Manuscript.”

Although the singer has not confirmed whether her 11th era album will be added to her Eras Tour set list, she did post a YouTube shorts video with two scenes that sent Easter egg decoders into a frenzy. In one of the shots, the singer is next to a railing where a “TTPD” logo appears to be (at 0:11). In the succeeding shot, her back-up dancers perform holding canes and wearing top hats, something they have not worn previously.

Swift’s dancers and bandmates posted to their Instagram stories as they left for France last week. The singer did not appear at two media events with her boyfriend Travis Kelce: the Kentucky Derby and a Formula 1 race in Miami, Florida. Patrick Mahomes, Kelce’s friend and Kansas City’s quarterback, attended the car racing spectacular with his wife, Brittany.

Can I still get Eras Tour tickets?

Swift’s show is completely sold out in Europe and North America. There are resale sites with tickets, but be wary of scams. The best way to avoid getting swindled is continuously checking links on Swift’s website. There are some for resale on the sites verified by her camp.

Singapore was a hotbed for fans who traveled thousands of miles only to get turned away at the venue. In Tokyo and Australia, last-minute ticket drops happened a few days — without announcement — ahead of the shows.

Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis — the three U.S. cities Swift is visiting in the fall — have some of the heftiest price tags with Canada closely behind. In may be cheaper to travel to Warsaw, Poland, or Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Here’s a list of cities with the cheapest resale tickets, according to travel website Islands.com.

Hayley Williams and band Paramore surprise fans at Grimey’s for Record Store Day.

Who are the opening acts?

Paramore launched the Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023, so it’s fitting the American rock band is opening the tour’s second year. The act will open for Swift for 51 shows across Europe. The band was dubbed the 2024 Record Store Day global ambassador and surprised fans in Nashville the weekend following the release of “The Tortured Poets Department.”

When the tour comes back to North America in October, Swift’s opening act will be Gracie Abrams.

Where can I watch if I don’t have tickets?

The Eras Tour is one of the first tours that has been followed, globally, by thousands of fans on digital platforms. Fans dedicate part of their concert experience to livestreaming as Swift performs. A few Swifties have learned how to host their own shows over social media including Tess Bohne, known as the livestream queen. Bohne goes live for (almost) every show pulling streams from Instagram and TikTok. When a livestream goes down, she fills the time with banter.

On YouTube, user @TaylorSwiftHockeyBro also livestreams the three-hour show, and on Twitch, @folkleric, is a host fans follow.

There is also an app, Swift Alert, that notifies fans who only want to watch certain eras like the acoustic, surprise set. The app sends out push alerts if there are any major announcements.
