The first leg of the tour will be in stadiums across the US, with international dates to be announced as soon as we can!"
The tour kicked off on March 17, 2023, and ran until August 9, 2023, when she was also able to let various artists perform with her, namely Paramore, Beabadoobee, Gayle, Girl in Red, Muna Band, Phoebe Bridgers, Gracie Abrams, and Aaron Dessner. Numerous influencers and celebrities were also seen watching live some of her shows, such as the Haim band, who turned up to be her friends as well as partners in one of her songs, particularly "No body, no crime," which was part of her "Evermore" album, as well as her co-actors in the music video of "Bejeweled," a track from the "Midnights" album. In addition, Este Haim was also spotted with Harry Potter actress Emma Watson as they were dancing with the crowd in one of Swift’s Las Vegas shows. Emma Stone was also fearlessly singing her heart out in one of the singer’s hit songs, "Love Story," in her performance in the city of Glendale. One Emma after another was also distinguished in her Vegas show, as Emma Roberts was also perceived by fans enjoying the night while listening to the song, "Style." Lastly, Grey’s Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo was observed enjoying the night with her daughter, Sienna, also in one of the Vegas shows. Pompeo, who starred as Dr. Meredith Grey in the popular hit medical drama, was named after Taylor Swift’s cat, Meredith.
Every show is truly much awaited by the Swifties all over the world since there are certain surprise songs every night where she is performing. Some of the surprise songs that became part of the setlist on every album were "Tim McGraw" from the debut album entitled "Taylor Swift," which was sung on the first night of her world tour on March 17, 2023. Next is "Jump Then Fall" from her album "Fearless," which she performed on her show in Arlington, Texas, on April 2, 2023. From her "Speak Now" album, one of her surprise songs was "Sparks Fly" in her Nashville, Tennessee, concert on May 5, 2023.
