Taylor Swift concert chronology

The Eras Tour is the sixth headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Having not toured for her studio albums Lover (2019), Folklore (2020), and Evermore (2020) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Swift is embarking on the Eras Tour in support of all of her albums, including her latest, Midnights (2022). It is her second all-stadium tour, after the 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour. The U.S. leg commenced on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, and is set to end on August 9, 2023, in Inglewood, California.

Described by Swift as a "journey through all of my musical eras", an Eras Tour concert lasts for over three hours, consisting of performances of 44 songs divided into 10 acts that portray Swift's studio albums conceptually. The tour received unanimous critical acclaim, with emphasis on the concept, production, and Swift's musicianship, vocals, charisma, stamina and versatility as an entertainer.

Media outlets described demand for tickets to the Eras Tour as "unprecedented" and "astronomical", with 3.5 million people registering for Ticketmaster's presale program for the U.S. leg. Although the company's website crashed immediately after the presale commenced on November 15, over 2.4 million tickets to the tour were sold that day, breaking the all-time record for the most concert tickets sold by an artist in a single day. Nevertheless, Ticketmaster was met with criticism and political scrutiny for the widely covered debacle in addition to allegations of monopoly within the concert business.

Concert tour

Concert tour

A concert tour is a series of concerts by an artist or group of artists in different cities, countries or locations. Often, concert tours are named to differentiate different tours by the same artist and to associate a specific tour with a particular album or product. Especially in the popular music world, such tours can become large-scale enterprises that last for several months or even years, are seen by hundreds of thousands or millions of people, and bring in millions of dollars in ticket revenues. A performer who embarks on a concert tour is called a touring artist.

2022 Ticketmaster controversy

2022 Ticketmaster controversy

Beginning in November 2022, the American ticket sales company Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation Entertainment attracted public criticism over their blunders in selling tickets to the United States leg of the Eras Tour, the 2023 concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.

Monopoly

Monopoly

A monopoly, as described by Irving Fisher, is a market with the "absence of competition", creating a situation where a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular thing. This contrasts with a monopsony which relates to a single entity's control of a market to purchase a good or service, and with oligopoly and duopoly which consists of a few sellers dominating a market. Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition to produce the good or service, a lack of viable substitute goods, and the possibility of a high monopoly price well above the seller's marginal cost that leads to a high monopoly profit. The verb monopolise or monopolize refers to the process by which a company gains the ability to raise prices or exclude competitors. In economics, a monopoly is a single seller. In law, a monopoly is a business entity that has significant market power, that is, the power to charge overly high prices, which is associated with a decrease in social surplus. Although monopolies may be big businesses, size is not a characteristic of a monopoly. A small business may still have the power to raise prices in a small industry.

Background

In support of her sixth studio album, Reputation (2017), Taylor Swift embarked on the Reputation Stadium Tour, her fifth concert tour, in 2018. It broke the record for the highest grossing U.S. tour in history.[1] Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, Swift cancelled her scheduled sixth concert tour, then titled Lover Fest, which was planned to support her seventh studio album, Lover (2019), with performances in stadiums as well as open-air venues and European festivals. Without touring since 2018, she released three studio albums—Folklore (2020), Evermore (2020), and Midnights (2022). She also released the re-recorded albums Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version) in 2021.[2]

In the days leading up to the release of Midnights, on October 18, 2022, Swift's United Kingdom website indirectly confirmed a forthcoming concert tour.[3] Pre-ordering Midnights on the UK store resulted in "special presale code access for forthcoming and yet-to-be-announced Taylor Swift UK show dates."[4][5] On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on October 24, Swift stated that she "should [go on tour]" and that "when it's time, [I will] do it".[6] She confirmed that a tour would happen "soonish" at The Graham Norton Show on October 28.[7]

On November 1, 2022, Swift announced on Good Morning America and through her social media accounts that her revamped sixth concert tour would be called the Eras Tour.[note 1] She described it as "a journey through the musical eras of my career". It marks her first concert tour in five years. Its U.S. leg, which initially consisted of 27 dates across 20 cities, started on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, and will conclude on August 9, 2023, in Inglewood, California. The opening acts for the U.S. leg of the tour are Paramore, Haim, Phoebe Bridgers, Beabadoobee, Girl in Red, Muna, Gayle, Gracie Abrams and Owenn, each two of whom share a date.[2] Messina Touring Group, an Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) partner, is the tour's promoter.[9]

Following popular demand, on November 4, eight extra U.S. dates were added to existing cities, bringing the total number of concerts to 35.[10] High demand prompted 17 more shows to be added the following week, making the Eras Tour the biggest U.S. tour of Swift's career, with 52 dates, surpassing her preceding Reputation Stadium Tour (38 dates); all cities part of the Eras Tour enjoy two or more shows following the additions.[11] International dates are to be announced later.[2] Billboard described the tour's announcement as "the most chaos-inducing tour announcement of the decade."[12]

In December 2022, Financial Times and Rolling Stone reported that the cryptocurrency exchange company FTX was previously in negotiations with Swift, offering her a US$100 million sponsorship deal,[13] including a partnership for the Eras Tour and offering tickets as non-fungible tokens (NFTs),[14] and that Swift denied the deal subsequently.[15] FTX became defunct in November 2022, filing for bankruptcy.[16]

On January 20, 2023, Argentine daily newspaper El Día claimed that Swift would tour Argentina for the first time, with two shows booked at La Plata's Estadio Único Diego Armando Maradona on October 6 and 8.[17] They also claimed she would tour Brazil.[18] On January 23, 2023, Brazilian journalist José Norberto Flesch reported via Universo Online that Swift would tour Brazil between late September and October 2023, marking her return to the country after her first show which was an exclusive concert in 2012.[19][20][21]

On January 31, tour merchandise inspired by all of Swift's ten album "eras" were made available for purchase on her webstore.[22][23]

On March 27, some media outlets reported that Swift has booked the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, on multiple undisclosed dates, spurring speculation about the Eras Tour concerts in Australia and New Zealand.[24][25]

Rarely, an opening act may perform again at the end of the event, or perform with the featured act after both have had a set to themselves.

Ticketing

Tickets were previously set to go on sale to the general public on November 18, 2022.[note 2] As a result of Swift's multi-year partnership with Capital One, cardholders had presale access, which was set to begin in the afternoon of November 15.[27] Fans could register for the Ticketmaster Verified Fan program from November 1 through November 9 to receive a code that granted exclusive access to the TaylorSwiftTix Presale to purchase tickets in the morning of November 15; previous Lover Fest ticket holders also received preferred access to the presale if they registered using the same Ticketmaster account.[28] Swift confirmed ticket prices in advance, abandoning the "platinum ticket" model; they ranged from $49 to $449, while VIP packages ranged from $199 to $899.[2] USA Today reported that the listing for the Nashville tour dates included the disclaimer that "ticket prices may fluctuate, based on demand, at any time."[29]

According to Ticketmaster, the TaylorSwiftTix Presale provided "the best opportunity to get more tickets into the hands of fans who want to attend the show" by evading bots and scalpers.[29] The ticketing platform noted that if demand from the fan program "exceeds supply", it is possible that "verified fans may be selected at random to participate in the presale."[30]

Controversy

The tour recorded an incredibly high demand for tickets.[31] On November 15, Ticketmaster's website crashed following "historically unprecedented demand with millions showing up", halting the presale.[32] Ticketmaster immediately published a statement saying they are working to fix the issues "as the site was unprepared to accommodate the sheer force of hundreds of thousands of Swift fans",[8] and subsequently reported that "hundreds of thousands of tickets" had already been sold and postponed the remainder of the presale.[33] The public on-sale was later cancelled due to "extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand".[34] Ticketmaster was widely criticized by fans and customers online for a flawed ticketing model.[35] CNN Business stated that the "astronomical" demand indicated Swift's popularity.[36] However, Fortune and Bloomberg News attributed the criticism to Ticketmaster's "oft-confusing multistep buying process plagued with additional fees", as well as "long waits, technical problems, and poor customer service".[37][38]

Greg Maffei, chairman of Live Nation, claimed that Ticketmaster prepared for 1.5 million verified fans but 14 million showed up: "we could have filled 900 stadiums."[39] The company confirmed on November 17 that the November 18 public on-sale was cancelled as well, citing inability to meet demand.[26] Swift released a statement on November 18, 2022, via her Instagram story; she stated that she is "pissed off" and found the fiasco "excruciating".[40] She asserted that she was "not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked [Ticketmaster], multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could."[41] Later that same day, Ticketmaster issued an apology "to Taylor and all of her fans" via their Twitter account.[42] Various U.S. lawmakers, including attorneys general and members of the U.S. Congress, took notice of the issue,[43] which became a subject of multiple congressional inquiries.[44] The New York Times reported that the U.S. Department of Justice had opened an antitrust investigation into Live Nation Entertainment and Ticketmaster.[45] A group of 26 fans sued Ticketmaster on December 2 for "intentional deception", "fraud, price fixing and antitrust violations".[46]

Various journalists highlighted Swift's influence, and how the controversy could bode well for the music industry. Arwa Mahdawi wrote in The Guardian, "Swift has had an incredibly impressive career. But you know what? If she gets people to sit up and pay attention to the disgraceful state of antitrust laws in the U.S., I reckon that will be her finest achievement."[47] Brooke Schultz of Associated Press discussed how Swift's fans magnified a website crash into a political movement and considered them an influential voter demographic during elections: "the sheer power and size of Swift’s fandom has spurred conversations about economic inequality, merely symbolized by Ticketmaster".[48] Bloomberg journalist Augusta Saraiva termed the phenomenon "Swiftonomics"—a microeconomic theory that explains Swift's supply, demand, fanbase and political impact following the COVID-19 pandemic.[49] I-D dubbed Swift the last remaining "real" popstar for "[s]hifting more albums and filling more stadiums than her contemporaries" and "creat[ing] a hysteria unseen since the industry's golden era."[50] Pitchfork asked, "Is there any other artist who could force urgency into the federal investigation of a music industry monopoly just by going on tour?"[51]

Special sale

On December 12, 2022, Ticketmaster began mailing select fans—"identified as [fans] who received a boost during the Verified Fan presale but did not purchase tickets"—and notified them of a second ticket-buying opportunity to purchase a maximum of two tickets per user, through the platform Ticketstoday.[52][53] Billboard reported that Ticketmaster opted to sell the remaining 170,000 tickets over four weeks through Ticketstoday, a ticketing platform originally built for Dave Mathews Band's fanclub in the 2000s but was purchased by Live Nation in 2008, to "significantly reduce fan wait times".[44]

Production

Music

Designed as a tribute to Swift's discography across her 17-year career, the Eras Tour covers all styles of music from her 10 studio albums, ranging from country and pop to folk and alternative rock genres.[54] Some publications have described the Eras Tour as a "greatest hits" tour of an artist still in her commercial prime.[55][56] The set list placed a slightly greater focus on albums for which Swift had not previously toured, including first-ever live performances of several tracks.[57]

Staging and lighting

The Eras Tour staging is expansive, consisting of three separate stages made of digital displays—the main stage with a giant, curved screen;[58][59][60] the rhombic middle stage;[61] and a T-shaped rectangular stage at the middle of the floor[62][63]—all of which are connected by a broad ramp.[64] The stages together form a "hyperactive" hydraulic platform,[65] with the main and middle stages equipped with mobile blocks that rise from the center to form platforms of different shapes.[66] The tour's "massive" production is heavily inspired by Broadway,[67][56][68] featuring pyrotechnics,[63] indoor fireworks, PixMob LED bracelets (which Swift had also provided to the audience on previous tours),[65] and image projection technology.[64] The tour's concept centers on worldbuilding and thus employs a diverse set of stage set-ups, props, and performing styles to convey the varying moods and aesthetics of Swift's albums.[56][68] Interior design magazine Architectural Digest named the Eras Tour Swift's "most ambitious" set design ever and praised its worldbuilding.[69]

Costume design

The wardrobe of Swift and her accompanying dancers, as well as her microphones and guitars, on the Eras Tour paid homage to her 10 album "eras".[70][71] They were inspired by previous performances and music videos,[58][72] intended to align with the overarching themes and palette of the era Swift referenced in each act, showcasing the various sonic and visual aesthetics she had adopted throughout her career.[70][72] However, media outlets noted that the unifying fashion choice were crystals: the costumes of every act adorned with them in one way or the other.[73] StyleCaster regarded the Eras Tour wardrobe as Swift's best fashion collection for a tour.[74]

Attire and accessories were mostly custom-made by fashion houses and designers such as Versace, Christian Louboutin,[75] Etro, Roberto Cavalli, Nicole + Felicia Couture, Zuhair Murad, Ashish,[76] Gladys Tamez,[77] Alberta Ferretti, Jessica Jones, and Oscar de la Renta.[70] Swift wore variations of some costumes for different shows. Fautso Puglisi, a designer for Roberto Cavalli, stated that he took an "artisanal approach to craftsmanship" while customizing outfits for Swift, focusing on the fact that "everything must be eye-catching" when designing for concerts.[70] He incorporated Swarovski crystals in the costumes Swift wore during the Fearless, 1989 and Reputation acts, which required over 170 hours of meticulous "hand-craftsmanship by skilled artisans" to make.[78] The sequined tulle ball gown that Murad designed for the Speak Now act required "over 350 hours of atelier handwork". Ferretti used chiffon and micro-beading for the Folklore era dresses, while the Midnights Oscar de la Renta fringed bodysuit was hand-adorned with more than 5,300 beads and crystals.[73]

Contemporary folk music

Contemporary folk music

Contemporary folk music refers to a wide variety of genres that emerged in the mid 20th century and afterwards which were associated with traditional folk music.

The most common name for this new form of music is also "folk music", but is often called "contemporary folk music" or "folk revival music" to make the distinction. The transition was somewhat centered in the US and is also called the American folk music revival. Fusion genres such as folk rock and others also evolved within this phenomenon. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music, it often shares the same English name, performers and venues as traditional folk music; even individual songs may be a blend of the two.

Concert synopsis

It's easy to compare one of Swift's stadium shows to something you'd see on Broadway—never has that been more true than for The Eras Tour. The setlist is cut up into acts, grouped together by eras for each of Swift's ten studio albums. For each era/act, Swift went full-send into that album's look, feel, costume, color blocking, and more.

— David Waiss Aramesh, "Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour Is a 3-Hour Career-Spanning Victory Lap", Rolling Stone[56]

The show is approximately three hours and 15 minutes long,[79] the longest of Swift's career, and heavily features elements of theater.[58] It consists of 44 songs that are divided into 10 acts.[80][65][56] Each act is characterized by a specific color scheme, while transitions between acts are facilitated by on-screen interlude visuals and marked by costume changes with negligible intermissions.[68][54][81] Swift also addresses the crowd several times throughout the show.[58] A concert of the Eras Tour encompasses the following acts:

  1. Lover: A clock on-screen counts down to show time as Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" (1963) plays.[79] Surrounded by pastel-colored, fan-like tapestry,[69] Swift emerges from the platform at mid-stage in a glimmering bodysuit and knee-high boots.[80][56] She opens the concert with "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince", leading into "Cruel Summer".[82] Swift then delivers the welcome note with the dollhouse from the "Lover" music video on the screen, depicting her various album "eras".[69] Accompanied by dancers and in a sequined blazer,[80] she performs "The Man" and "You Need to Calm Down" through a set emulating an office space and sings "Lover" on a guitar,[80][83] followed by a stripped-down rendition of "The Archer" alone on the ramp.[80][56]
  2. Fearless: As gold sparks rain down, the stage pivots to an aesthetic representing Fearless. Swift reappears in a gold fringed dress and country boots characteristic of her early style.[80][84] She performs "Fearless" on the main stage, "You Belong With Me" at mid-stage, and "Love Story" on the T-stage, all alongside her band.[66]
  3. Evermore: The stage adopts a forest aesthetic.[54] Swift begins singing "'Tis the Damn Season" in a "burnt orange autumnal gown",[80] followed by a dark theme[79] that leads to "Willow" in a "witchy" séance; Swift wears an emerald cape and performs with dancers holding luminescent orange orbs.[58][80] She continues with "Marjorie",[66] then "Champagne Problems" on a moss-covered piano beneath an oak tree,[54][69] concluding the act with "Tolerate It" on a dinner table setup.[66]
  4. Reputation: The act begins with visuals of snakes,[58] and the lights dim.[69] Swift reemerges in an "asymmetrical serpentine catsuit" reminiscent of her Reputation Stadium Tour costumes,[85] and the dancers wear black leotards.[68] She delivers a high-energy performance of "…Ready For It?" with gothic dancers and "Delicate" surrounded by beams of light.[66][79] Performing "Don't Blame Me" supported by elevated harmonies, Swift leaps skyward on a platform.[66] She transitions to "Look What You Made Me Do", which features on-screen visuals of Swift from all her "eras" trapped in glass boxes and the dancers also dressed in some of Swift's older looks.[58][54]
  5. Speak Now: The screen depicts an abstract mosaic of purple lights. Swift, in a ball gown, performs "Enchanted", accompanied by acoustic strums and a full-band crescendo.[66][81][84]
  6. Red: The stage turns red; then, a dancer appears on stage and opens a box that plays snippets of "Red", "Everything Has Changed", and "State of Grace".[79] Balloons emerge, after which Swift performs with "22", wearing a modified version of the hippie-inspired T-shirt from the song's official music video.[65] She sings "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" next, dressed in a romper and with the dancers in red.[66][80][72] She dons a coat and performs "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" on an acoustic guitar alone.[65][72] The act concludes with artificial snow falling.[66]
  7. Folklore: The act, characterized by its cottagecore aesthetic, is introduced with a spoken world interlude of "Seven".[81] Onstage is an A-frame cabin setup, similar to the one from Swift's performance at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards (2021), on an elevated platform with a staircase.[86][68][69] Wearing a frilly gown,[87] Swift performs "Invisible String" on the cabin's roof, "Betty" with her band, and "The Last Great American Dynasty" with dancers dressed in period clothes.[80] She then starts singing "August", which transitions to a rock-tinged "Illicit Affairs",[64][81] followed by "My Tears Ricochet" on the secondary stages with a choreography resembling a funeral procession.[88] Swift returns to the cabin to perform "Cardigan". The act ends with fireflies on the screen.[80]
  8. 1989: "Style" kicks off the act, with Swift wearing a beaded crop top and skirt that calls back to her styling in 2014 and 2015.[56] Moving to mid-stage, the dancers ride neon-lit bicycles for "Blank Space" and use blue-lit golf clubs to smash an animated Shelby Cobra car, a reference to the song's official music video and the choreography from the 1989 World Tour.[66][69] It is followed by "Shake It Off", performed as a robust dance party;[80] "Wildest Dreams", backed with clips of a couple in bed; and "Bad Blood", accentuated by intense pyrotechnics.[80]
  9. Surprise songs: Swift, dressed in a frock[87], performs one "surprise song" on guitar and another on piano[63]. In a "particularly remarkable" optical illusion, a body of water develops around the piano and envelops the stage; Swift then dives in and appears to swim underwater, along the ramp and to the main stage.[65]
  10. Midnights: A wave from the illusion crashes against the screen, revealing Swift, who wakes up from a bed and climbs up a ladder into a cloud. The lower screen splits, and dancers carry out clouds as Swift reemerges in a purple fur coat to sing "Lavender Haze".[80] She removes the coat and performs "Anti-Hero" with a video of herself as a "Godzilla-esque creature terrorizing a city" on the screen.[66] Dancers perform with umbrellas as Swift sings "Midnight Rain" and undergoes an onstage costume change,[80] reappearing in a rhinestone-adorned, midnight blue bodysuit.[68][84] She then performs a choreographed "chair dance" for "Vigilante Shit",[66] influenced by "sultry" burlesque[86] and the 1975 musical Chicago.[79] Swift follows with "Bejeweled", featuring choreography inspired by the song's viral TikTok dance[89], and "Mastermind" with the entire dance crew.[54] "Karma" closes the show with fireworks, colorful visuals, and confetti.[86][80]

Intermission

Intermission

An intermission, also known as an interval in British and Indian English, is a recess between parts of a performance or production, such as for a theatrical play, opera, concert, or film screening. It should not be confused with an entr'acte, which, in the 18th century, was a sung, danced, spoken, or musical performance that occurs between any two acts, that is unrelated to the main performance, and that thus in the world of opera and musical theater became an orchestral performance that spans an intermission and leads, without a break, into the next act.

Swift wrote "Fearless" with Liz Rose and Hillary Lindsey while traveling on tour to promote her self-titled debut studio album (2006). With lyrics about a perfect first date, the song was chosen by Swift as the album's title track because it explores the courage to embrace the challenges of love, the overarching theme of all other songs. Produced by Swift and Nathan Chapman, it is a country pop and pop rock song with dynamic guitars.

Critical reception

The tour received rave reviews from music and entertainment critics.[90][91] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph, Keiran Southern of The Times, Adrian Horton of The Guardian, Kelsey Barnes of The Independent, and Ilana Kaplan of i gave the Eras Tour full five-star ratings. McCormick called the show "one of the most ambitious, spectacular and charming stadium pop shows ever seen", lauding Swift's musicianship, vocals and energy.[59] Southern declared the Eras Tour "a pop genius at the top of her game".[92] Horton praised the "rapturous" music selection, concept, the "extravagant" staging, and Swift's stamina and vocals.[62] Barnes noted the tour as "a career defining spectacle" with acts marking the shifts in Swift's artistry,[54] while Kaplan commended the "unparalleled" showmanship, "spicier" choreography, camp styles, and "seamless" transitions between acts.[93]

The versatility in the music, visuals, and performance art of the show was often a subject of praise in the reviews. Journalists Rebecca Lewis and Carson Mlnarik, of Hello! and MTV respectively, commended Swift's stage presence and commitment to her artistry; Lewis described Swift's alter ego during the tour as "country ingenue to pop princess and folklore witch",[82] whereas Mlnarik affirmed that the onscreen visuals stayed true to every album's aesthetic.[94] Brigid Kennedy of The Week agreed, highlighting the "jaw-dropping" visuals and "bedazzled" fashion.[91] Jason Lipshutz, writing for Billboard, underscored Swift's "powerhouse" vocals, engaging artistic personas, and skill set.[61] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times highlighted the tour's scale, ambition, and portrayal of all the musical pivots of Swift's career,[95] whereas The Atlantic critic Spencer Kornhaber complimented the show's art direction, suspense, and the sequencing of the acts.[96] Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times described the show as a "masterclass in pop ambition", showcasing Swift's range.[83]

Critics also appreciated the tour's production value. Philip Cosores of Uproxx dubbed it the "most impressive stadium show ever conceived", atypical of pop and rock artists.[58] USA Today's Melissa Ruggieri noted that no mainstream artist since Bruce Springsteen has "packed so much music into one show."[97] Spin critic Jonathan Cohen admired the tour for its rich stage design, usage of "state-of-the-art" technology, and offering an immersive experience into Swift's "increasingly accomplished musical world-building". He added that artists at their prime very rarely present their discography like Swift did.[64] Chris Willman, writing for Variety, felt that the "epic" show demonstrated that "the person who has come up with the single greatest body of pop songwriting in the 21st century is also its most popular performer."[60] Pollstar's Christina Fuoco and Rolling Stone's Waiss David Aramesh concluded that the tour is "live music at its highest spectacle" and "a production spectacle of the highest echelon", commending Swift's showmanship.[9][56]

Pop music

Pop music

Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. The terms popular music and pop music are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many disparate styles. During the 1950s and 1960s, pop music encompassed rock and roll and the youth-oriented styles it influenced. Rock and pop music remained roughly synonymous until the late 1960s, after which pop became associated with music that was more commercial, ephemeral, and accessible.

Rock music

Rock music

Rock music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s, developing into a range of different styles in the mid-1960s and later, particularly in the United States and United Kingdom. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style that drew directly from the blues and rhythm and blues genres of African-American music and from country music. Rock also drew strongly from a number of other genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical, and other musical styles. For instrumentation, rock has centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass guitar, drums, and one or more singers. Usually, rock is song-based music with a 44 time signature using a verse–chorus form, but the genre has become extremely diverse. Like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political. Rock was the most popular genre of music in the United States and much of the Western world from the 1950s to the 2010s.

Commercial performance

Projections

Variety projected The Eras Tour to outgross the Reputation Stadium Tour, which holds the female all-time record for the highest-grossing tour in the United States, with US$266,100,000 from 38 dates; the Eras Tour has already expanded to 52 dates within the country. However, Variety noted that "setting a record gross for international touring may be tougher" as English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran holds the record with his ÷ Tour (2017–19), which consisted of 255 dates. Swift's five-show run at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles also stands to generate the highest boxscore at a single venue in the U.S. She could break the SoFi Stadium record set by South Korean boy group BTS' four shows in 2022, which grossed $33.3 million, and the all-time U.S. record held by Bruce Springsteen's 10-night stand at Giants Stadium in 2003, which grossed $38.7 million.[98] Following the Ticketmaster controversy, Pollstar projected Swift to gross an increased $728 million sum across her 52 U.S. dates and "a mind-boggling billion dollars" internationally, surpassing Sheeran's all-time record with less than half of his tour's dates; it would become the first tour in history to gross a billion-dollar sum.[99]

Records and achievements

In the first day of its presale alone, the Eras Tour sold over 2.4 million tickets, the most sold by an artist in a single day,[100][101] surpassing Robbie Williams, who had sold 1.6 million tickets for his Close Encounters Tour in 2005.[102] Billboard reported on December 15 that the Eras Tour had already grossed an estimated $554 million, and projected the U.S. leg to finish with $591 million, surpassing the former all-time female record set by Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour ($407 million) in 2008–2009.[44][103] Following the tour, Swift rose to number-one on Pollstar's Artist Power Index chart.[104]

The State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona hosted the first concert of the tour. Glendale renamed itself as Swift City to honor the tour.
The State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona hosted the first concert of the tour. Glendale renamed itself as Swift City to honor the tour.

Swift released four songs on the day of the opening show to celebrate the tour's launch: "Eyes Open (Taylor's Version)" and "Safe & Sound (Taylor's Version)", originally from the 2012 soundtrack The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond; "If This Was a Movie (Taylor's Version)", a re-recording of one of the deluxe tracks from Speak Now (2010); and "All of the Girls You Loved Before", a previously unreleased song from Lover that had leaked online.[124]

On March 9, 2023, media outlets reported that the city administration of Glendale had decided to temporarily change the city's name in honor of the city hosting the first concert of the Eras Tour. Mayor Jerry Weiers announced the "symbolic" name on March 13. The Westgate Entertainment District, a mixed-use complex in Glendale, put up welcoming messages, and local restaurants offered Swift-themed menu items.[125][126] The temporary name was "Swift City" from March 17 to 18.[127] Las Vegas displayed light shows inspired by the color palettes of the Eras Tour every night through March 25 at the Gateway Arches on the Las Vegas Boulevard.[128] Food banks in Arizona and Nevada revealed that Swift made "surprise donations" to them ahead of her shows in those states.[90]

Following the opening shows of the Eras Tour, five of Swift's albums entered the top 40 of the UK Albums Chart.[129] Billboard reported that Swift's entire discography rose in daily streams, especially the songs on the set list;[130] she subsequently charted seven albums in the top 40 of the Billboard 200, becoming the first living artist and second overall (after Whitney Houston) to do so.[131]

The Guardian journalist Dave Simpson wrote that the 44-song set list of Eras Tour might increase the demand for "longer" concert durations and may "trigger a setlist arms race as artists battle to play longer than each other." He opined that the It's All a Blur Tour, an upcoming co-headlining tour by Drake and 21 Savage, was inspired by the concept of the Eras Tour, with the former's promotional poster depicting a "career retrospective" similar to the latter.[132]
