For me, and thousands of other Swifties, that was frantic text messages sent back-and-forth in all caps between my friend and I, while she waited for hours in the Ticketmaster queue\u2014otherwise known as \u201cThe Great War.\u201d I told her to get any two seats she could find and that I would pay anything for them. July 22, 2023. Seattle, Night One. It had felt so far away back in November, but the long-awaited day came, and to say that Taylor Swift\u2019s \u2018Eras Tour\u2019 blew me away would be a gross understatement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The Eras Tour is a pop music phenomenon like no other, a culture made of writing \u201813\u2019 on your hand, trading friendship bracelets that say anything from song titles like \u2018cruel summer\u2019 and \u2018lover,\u2019 to more unhinged ones that said \u2018scooter is a bitch\u2019 and \u2018speak never john.\u2019 It has breathed life into my summer, smothering my TikTok For You Page with people mimicking Swift\u2019s show outfits from scratch, as well as keeping track of surprise songs in spreadsheets and predicting what she would play for each new city.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The Swiftie Craze is hard to explain for those who aren\u2019t already in it, but to be a Taylor Swift fan is to be a part of a community of popular music culture. Most of us have grown up alongside her, watching her traverse from each era and genre with grace. A news clip from her documentary <em>Miss Americana<\/em> said it best\u2014\u201cTaylor Swift is the music industry.\u201d The Eras Tour is a chance to relive the songs that have scored our adolescence, from pure joy and romance, to heartbreak and fear, all executed beautifully in production and spectacle. Most fans opted to dress on theme and channel a specific album era of Swift\u2019s. From donning news print, gold, and black for <em>reputation<\/em>, to cowboy boots and hats with soft, white or yellow dresses for <em>Fearless<\/em>, to a shirt saying \u201cNot A Lot Going On At The Moment\u201d with a black hat and a red lip for <em>Red<\/em>. Fans also came dressed in witty shirts printed with quips like \u201cIt\u2019s Me, Hi. I\u2019m the Dad, It\u2019s Me.\u201d (a parody of the lyrics to \u201cAnti Hero\u201d) to inside jokes like \u201cmy mind is alive\u201d and \u201cstill swift af boi.\u201d The day before my concert, my sister and I waited in the merch line for three hours, making friends with the girls standing next to us, swapping surprise song hopes and dreams. At the concert, I was dressed as <em>Lover<\/em>, with a hot pink dress, white cowboy boots, and a glitter heart around my eye, and my friend dressed as <em>reputation<\/em> with a black dress and black combat boots. I traded bracelets at my seats, at the CapitolOne booth, on the bus on the way there, while waiting outside the stadium, and left with so many that my wrists and forearms were covered in marks. The electric excitement of Swifties was at its peak when \u201cApplause\u201d by Lady Gaga played from the speakers, a sign that the two-minute countdown was soon to follow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The show begins with a haunting background medley featuring an echoing \u201cBig reputation\u201d from \u201cEnd Game\u201d&nbsp; alongside \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming\u201d from \u201cMiss Americana &amp; The Heartbreak Prince,\u201d leading the crowd seamlessly into for the first number. Among the echoing applause Swift dives headfirst into fan favorite, \u201cCruel Summer,\u201d and the lyrics to the bridge echo all throughout the stadium. The crowd&#8217;s cheers are almost deafening. Swift, enhanced by the power of her fans, launches into \u201cThe Man\u201d next. She introduces the song by flexing her arms and saying \u201cI guess what I\u2019m trying to say is, you\u2019re making me feel like I\u2019m the man!\u201d The infamous <em>Lover<\/em> house, from the eponymous music video, lurks behind her on the screen, a preview of all the eras she\u2019s about to enter. After the news of her breakup with longtime partner Joe Alwyn was released, she subtly hinted to it before a performance of \u201cLover,\u201d explaining that these songs, at one point, were written about her life. Now, she hopes for the songs to remind fans of their own lives, and the memories they\u2019ve made alongside her music. As she finishes \u201cThe Archer,\u201d the <em>Lover<\/em> house goes up in flames and yellow sparks, indicating that we\u2019re moving on to the next era.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The title track to the timeless country album <em>Fearless<\/em> is instantly recognizable, its classic twang evoking screams of excitement from the crowd. Swift and the audience put their hands in a heart shape and hold it above their head, Swift beaming at the timelessness of this Fearless-era gesture. I remember watching the \u201cYou Belong With Me\u201d music video religiously in first grade and singing it on the playground at recess, so to see it live was truly magical. And \u201cLove Story\u201d is, of course, a smash hit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Evergreen trees emerge from beneath the stage, and, in the shows before July 22, \u201ctis the damn season\u201d would start. With HAIM joining Swift as an opener on the West Coast dates of the tour, the intro to \u201cno body no crime\u201d began to play instead and the crowd erupted into ecstatic cheers upon hearing the eerie sirens. HAIM\u2019s electric stage presence paired perfectly with the show, making for an extremely fun surprise to kick off&nbsp; an extremely sad era. I had forgotten that \u201cmarjorie\u201d was on the setlist\u2014a beautiful, solemn track about grief where fans turn on their phone flashlights as a sign of love for Swift. The rest of the set is just as soft and beautiful, with Swift gushing about how excited she has been to hear a live crowd scream the lyrics \u201cShe\u2019s fucked in the head\u201d during \u201cchampagne problems.\u201d She engages in theatricality and drama during the performance of \u201ctolerate it\u201d and after she\u2019s pushed the fancy shit off the table, it\u2019s time to go to the next era.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The <em>reputation<\/em> era begins with slithering snakes and a quiet hissing emanating from the stage, bracelet lights suddenly flashing green and the ground shaking to the iconic entrance of \u201c&#8230;Ready For It?\u201d The strength of Swiftie culture has produced many call-and-response type chants, like a Taylor Swift version of Rocky Horror Picture Show screenings. The most popular one is to scream \u201c1, 2, 3, let\u2019s go bitch!\u201d after the first verse in \u201cDelicate,\u201d a tradition started during the Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018. One of the most electrifying moments in the entire show is the seamless transition from \u201cDon\u2019t Blame Me\u201d into \u201cLook What You Made Me Do,\u201d with strobe lights welcoming us into one of Swift\u2019s most notorious lead singles, and the last song of this era. During the song, she sings to versions of herself from all her past eras, all of whom beg to be let out of their glass cages, a nod to her re-recordings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Out of the darkness, Swift emerges wearing a stunning ball gown amid purple lights flashing throughout the stadium, and sings \u201cEnchanted\u201d for the crowd. Every descriptor used in that song about infatuation from a fairytale-like encounter could just as easily describe a night at the Eras Tour. Upon the release of <em>Speak Now (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>, Swift added the flawless, powerful closing track \u201cLong Live\u201d to the setlist, beginning with the night one Kansas City show. This is my favorite track from <em>Speak Now<\/em>, reminding me of leaving high school, as well as all the other milestone changes in my life. I cry every time she sings the lyric \u201cBring on all the pretenders \/ I\u2019m not afraid.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">To begin the <em>Red<\/em> era, a dancer wheels out of a big red box, opening it to reveal a few seconds of some beloved <em>Red<\/em> songs, including \u201cState of Grace\u201d and \u201cHoly Ground,\u201d before launching into the first song of the set, \u201c22.\u201d Swift then runs out in an iconic <em>Red<\/em>-era t-shirt, with phrases like \u201cWho\u2019s Taylor Swift anyway? Ew.\u201d and \u201cWe Are Never Getting Back Together. Like Ever.\u201d The sweetest moment of the concert, for me, was seeing her take her hat off and give it to a fan, as the audience cheered with love and joy for them, freaking out after being touched by <em>the<\/em> Taylor Swift. The <em>Red<\/em> set ends with fan favorite \u201cAll Too Well (Ten Minute Version),\u201d memorized by pretty much every person in the crowd and if you don\u2019t know it, you might as well just leave! Performed by just Swift and her guitar, her odyssey, her masterpiece of young love and heartbreak, it closed out the <em>Red<\/em> era in scarf-drawn style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The <em>folklore<\/em> set once began with Swift laying on the roof of a cabin, singing \u201cinvisible string.\u201d But in another fun surprise, she\u2019s swapped it with \u201cthe 1\u201d\u2014perhaps a nod to her recent breakup with Joe Alwyn? Who knows. She sings every song of the <em>folklore<\/em> love triangle with witty storytelling prowess and vocal beauty, but the best parts of the <em>folklore<\/em> set are \u201cillicit affairs\u201d and \u201cmy tears ricochet.\u201d Swift sings only the bridge of \u201cillicit affairs,\u201d but she does so twice, immediately following \u201caugust\u201d with passion and vocals unparalleled by any recording of the song. She performs the entirety of the gut-wrenching track five \u201cmy tears ricochet,\u201d with unbridled anger and magnificent dramatics. The quarantine-produced fairy tale of <em>folklore<\/em> ends, with another Grammy-winning era to follow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Screams of \u201cWhat time is it?\u201d jump out from the crowd when the opening beats of \u201cStyle\u201d play, just in time for Swift to answer the prompt with the first word of the song, \u201cMidnight!\u201d Swift\u2019s Grammy-winning pop perfection <em>1989<\/em> courses in glowing-blue bracelets through the crowd, from one hit to the next. She brings back the infamous golf clubs during \u201cBlank Space\u201d from her 1989 World Tour, and provides stellar vocals to each track, my favorite being the masterpiece \u201cShake It Off.\u201d During \u201cBad Blood\u201d the crowd references the Kendrick Lamar remix by yelling \u201cYou forgive, you forget, but you never let it go!\u201d and gusts of fire shoot up as Swift belts \u201cIf you love like that, blood runs cold!\u201d The crowd is burned, electrified, energized, eagerly anticipating the most mysterious hour of the night, surprise song o\u2019clock!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Even though there were dozens of songs I would have died to hear live, the two that I had wanted to hear the most were \u201cI Know Places\u201d and \u201cHits Different.\u201d I kept the extensive list in my notes app, many of my picks tragically struck through as Swift played them at a previous show. I fell to my knees when I found out she had already done \u201cHits Different,\u201d and despite her saying that she could repeat <em>Midnights<\/em> tracks as many times as she wants, I knew the possibility of her playing it for me was unlikely. Though my heart weeps for my lost chance of hearing \u201cI Know Places\u201d live, I feel extremely lucky to have gotten a show with \u201cLong Live\u201d and \u201cno body no crime\u201d on the setlist, as well as \u201cThis Is Why We Can\u2019t Have Nice Things,\u201d one of my favorite <em>reputation<\/em> tracks, as a surprise song. Tragically, my other surprise song, \u201cEverything Has Changed\u201d isn\u2019t one I know very well\u2014but I still loved hearing it live!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Swift then dives underneath the stage, and emerges sparkling for the <em>Midnights<\/em> set, the final era of the night. She appears in a shimmery top and big purple coat, perfect to sing \u201cLavender Haze\u201d in. The most notorious song of the <em>Midnights<\/em> set would be \u201cVigilante Shit,\u201d where Swift does a provocative chair dance to her tale of glorious, sexy revenge. The rest of the set is an absolute blast, a Swift dance party like no other. She goes from \u201cBejeweled\u201d to \u201cMastermind\u201d and ends with \u201cKarma,\u201d with fireworks going off at the end of the final song. Swift thanks the crowd and gives a humble, loving bow to the audience before dancing off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The Eras Tour is a mega-hit, a concert like no other, and I feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten to experience it. Swift makes me hopeful for the future of the music industry\u2014fighting for ownership of her music, writing songs true to herself for her entire career, and putting on spectacular shows. I can\u2019t wait to see what else she has in store for the future, a pop phenom, a true mastermind. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\">July 22, 2023.
