The “Eras Tour” became a journey through music and fashion immediately after, and it exploded beyond everyone’s expectations within a few months.
The world already knew Taylor Swift was a high-rated artist with a solid track record of professionalism in musical entertainment, but the outcome of the “Eras Tour” was never expected.
The same world will now, and forever have it in the records that at 33, Taylor Swift became the first female artist to climb up the wall of figures who have made over a billion dollars through music only. The feat is remarkable in the sense that the billionaire status she is recognized with did not come from wealth accumulated through the sales of her albums, but from the “Eras Tour” tickets and tour merchandise only.
So now, she is even more iconic than she was when she released hits like “Shake it Off,” and “Look What You Made Me Do.” Even though both songs were released years apart, they created a wave in the world when they dropped, and then contributed to Taylor Swift’s current fame.
You would like to think that the “Eras Tour” became a global sensation because of the amazing setlist it has, and you won’t be far off with that thought. But Taylor Swift added one more touch in her 6th career concert which made it different from other concert tours.
That touch was having a customized wardrobe for each Era she performs in every concert amidst the tour, and this is also what makes the “Eras Tour” a journey through music and fashion. We’ve gone over this, times without numbers, and the fact that she manages to surf through 10 different dresses every night remains a boss move that we bow to.
How does she do it? What gave her that inspiration? No matter the number of interviews Taylor Swift gives, she can never outlive such questions because to an extent, what she has achieved is somewhat impossible to think of, but she did, and that’s what we’ll excitingly discuss as this article progresses.
But before we get down to it, if unfortunately, you’re one of the many Swifties still on the search for tickets to spend a night with Taylor Swift, and you’re yet to get one, we suggest looking through an online ticket marketplace, which will be a more convenient option of getting Taylor Swift Tickets.
The “Eras Tour” Setlist
Creating the setlist for a tour that isn’t backed by a single album can be complex, especially if you have so many albums to pick from. For Taylor Swift, the complexity lay in the fact that she had albums she wanted to re-record. This enforced that she planned her setlist, pending the release of her re-recorded versions.
Everything just ended up fitting perfectly, with re-recorded versions of albums like “Speak Now,” and “1989” contributing to the setlist after their release. The release process was entirely an adventurous one that involved her fans, creating a stronger connection between them amidst the tour.
Thanks to her bold step to re-record some of her albums, fan favourites songs like “Blank Space, and “Enchanted” now add a different spice to the setlist entirely, and also the setlist alteration to fit songs from her recent album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” making the “Eras Tour” more interesting and fun than it was.
Fan Favourites
The secret to making your fans hooked on your concert is to serve them songs that they vibe to on a “whole nother level” when they are alone. They’ve probably listened to those songs and have imagined a live performance of it by you, so it’ll be a dream come true when you finally perform it on stage, live. Thanks to modern-day technology, it’s quite easy to know which songs your fans love more in your album.
This is one tactic that has worked well for Taylor Swift in the “Eras Tour.” Because the tour is a celebration of her musical era so far, she had a lot of songs from different albums to choose from, and although that showed how far she had come, at some point, it made the selection a tedious process because then she had to pick only fan favourites from ten of her different albums, now Eras, which all had more than ten songs in them.
Even with the fact that some Eras like “Speak Now,” have one song only, the setlist ended up having up to 45 songs, aside from surprise songs. But Taylor was already prepared for this. She knew that keeping up with the performance of over 40 songs each night would be hectic, so she underwent a rigorous process of rehearsing all the songs in the setlist while on a treadmill to ensure she was mentally, physically, and emotionally ready for the concert.
The outcome is what we now enjoy during each night of the “Eras Tour.” Our research also showed that certain songs on the “Eras Tour” setlist have gained additional popularity because of the way Taylor performed them live on stage. Songs like, “My Tears Ricochet,” from her “Folklore” album, and “Enchanted,” from her “Speak Now” album among others are examples of such songs.
The “Eras Tour” Fashion
The ability to maintain elegance and majesty even when tired is one attribute that we now recognize Taylor Swift with because she displayed such prowess perfectly amidst the “Eras Tour.” The way she kept changing dresses to fit every Era in the setlist of the tour made the concert an adventurous one because it made Swifties want to do more, aside from appearing in her concerts with regular customised tour merchandise.
The challenge was to turn up dressed as an Era and get the chance to look exactly like Taylor Swift, and also represent what she represents for just a moment in a night, and the challenger was Taylor Swift. The naturality of the whole experience is the fact that Taylor Swift does not hide anything from her fans. This includes times when the dress of an Era didn’t go as planned resulting in a wardrobe malfunction.
What does Taylor do when “Shit Happens?” She rocks the dress confidently, not missing a beat in her performance, and jokes about the whole thing with her fans. We’ve recorded countless moments like such and reflecting on them only creates a sense of humanity in the hearts of her fans. Yes, she can arguably be called the greatest of all time when music is discussed, but she makes mistakes, and they don’t stop her from going further.
The process of making her dresses is one topic that leaves one in wonder about the dedication Taylor put into making the “Eras Tour” what it is today. We only tend to enjoy the beauty of the scenery, which is breathtaking. The way each era has a special regalia that defines it amazes the mind. However, the process of making such scenery a reality is one thing we may not have a complete understanding of.
But it is Taylor Swift we are talking about, and she has a way of making things make sense only after a deep thought has been put into it.
Perhaps that is why she is currently the first female billionaire with her primary sources of wealth being music and live performances.
