The Eras Tour
The Eras Tour is the ongoing sixth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who described it as a journey through all of her musical "eras". An homage to her albums, the Eras Tour is her most expansive tour yet, with 146 dates across five continents. It is her second all-stadium tour after the 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour.
Announced after the release of her tenth studio album, Midnights (2022), the Eras Tour commenced on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, United States, and is set to conclude on November 23, 2024, in Toronto, Canada. The show spans over three hours, with a set list of 44 songs divided into 10 distinct acts that portray the albums conceptually. It received unanimous acclaim from critics, who emphasized its concept, production, aesthetics and immersive ambience, as well as Swift's musicianship, vocals, stamina, and versatility.
The tour had a cultural, economic and political impact, evident in form of unprecedented demand, ticket sales, and new venue records worldwide, technical obstacles leading to imposition of price regulation and anti-scalping laws, elevated economies, businesses, and tourism, domination of news cycles and social media, and tributes from governments and organizations. Ticketmaster, an official partner, was scrutinized for ineffective sales and alleged monopoly. According to Forbes, the Eras Tour has grossed $780 million as of August 2023, making it the highest-grossing tour by a woman and the second highest-grossing tour of all time, behind only Elton John's 2018–2023 tour Farewell Yellow Brick Road.
Swift announced and released various works during the tour: extended editions of Midnights, the re-recorded albums Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and 1989 (Taylor's Version), the music videos for "Karma" and "I Can See You", and "Cruel Summer" as a single. An accompanying concert film was released to theaters worldwide on October 13, 2023, and became the highest-grossing concert film in history.
