Video projected her swimming underwater the length of the catwalk to emerge hundreds of feet away, in a new outfit, for the next era.
In one startling moment at the end of her acoustic set, she dove into and through a hole in the stage extension. So it shouldn’t have been a surprising show. Fans (or casually curious music writers cramming for an upcoming assignment) could easily read extensive notes on each song, tableau, and outfit that would appear. Save for some small tweaks and a couple of “surprise songs” during the acoustic portion, it remains largely unchanged night to night. With 10 distinct acts and massive theatrical sets and costumes, Eras is a tightly orchestrated performance. Then it’s off to Latin America, Asia, and Europe through 2024, for 131 shows all told. The US portion kicked off in Glendale, Arizona in March and wraps up in Los Angeles (Inglewood) next month.
#CONCERTS AT LUMEN FIELD FULL#
Her 6th major tour is a 45-song crash course through all her musical manifestations, full of easter eggs and references to her nearly 20-year output. Having not toured in 5 years, Swift pulled out all the stops for her marathon Eras run. But she has been on a creative tear since 2020, releasing a staggering three studio albums and three re-recorded albums as (Taylor’s Version) to regain control of her catalog and masters from a contentious record deal. The pandemic waylaid Swift’s previous touring plans. And despite my iconoclastic tendencies to eschew mainstream pop culture that has passed me by, she completely won me over. And yet, even in ultra high def video and dozens of feet tall, I don’t think I ever saw her break a sweat or pause to catch her breath.Īll subjective matters of taste aside, Swift really is an amazing performer. She smiled, crawled, dove, belted, and soared. For three hours and twenty minutes Swift sang, played, and danced her way up and down the stages, and up, down, and through the many Broadway-level set pieces. This, after Swift had pulled off that same feat for another sold out crowd the night before.Īnd let it be said: she was immaculate. But I’m also full to bursting with the spectacle, and yes, wonder, of watching the biggest pop star in the world put on the biggest show I’ve ever seen. After more than six hours standing and dancing in place with 72,000 Swifties at Lumen Field, I’m bone tired. I woke up the morning after Taylor Swift’s second Seattle mega-concert with cramped calves, sore feet, tight hips, and an aching lower back. But more on this later.īecause right now, I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 82. And she has the (arguably unnecessarily) long runtime, and explosions, of Oppenheimer. She has all the glittering fun, female empowerment, and emotional vulnerability of Barbie. Taylor Swift at Lumen Field (Photo courtesy of TAS Rights Management)
