Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour kicked off on Friday (March 17) in Glendale, Arizona. It will end on August 5th in Los Angeles, California. Shortly before her first tour concert since 2018, the pop singer shared four previously unknown songs. There are three “Taylor’s Versions”, i.e. new recordings of well-known songs from their catalogue, and the piece “All of the Girls You Loved Before”. As for the latter, fans suspect that it was created during the production of their seventh studio album LOVER from 2019.
Eyes Open and Safe & Sound, originally with The Civil Wars, are from her work on the 2012 film The Hunger Games soundtrack. If This Was a Movie was first featured on the 2010 deluxe version of her third record, SPEAK to hear NOW.
The wave of releases fits the concept of the tour she started with them. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, among other things, the 33-year-old with her albums LOVER (2019), FOLKLORE (2020), EVERMORE (2020), MIDNIGHTS (2022) and the two Taylor versions of FEARLESS (2008/2021) and RED (2012/2021) have never been on tour. “Eras” therefore refers to the different phases of their musical work within this span and perhaps also outside of it, as the new songs might suggest. This long break has certainly also led to the rush for the tickets causing the Ticketmaster platform to collapse.
According to the superstar’s website, international dates for the tour would follow soon.
