Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift started her 1989 Tour at Tokyo Dome in the city’s Suidobashi district on Tuesday night. The 55,000 seat cylindrical stadium was packed to the hilt, and the organizers placed light-emitting wristbands on every seat so the entire crowd illuminated and changed colors in unison.

The show started with video testimonials and comments from Taylor’s friends, like Selena Gomez, Haim, and others (there was no opening act, unlike her upcoming U.S. dates). This technique continued throughout the show, primarily when the star disappeared to change costumes (which happened at least 10 times).

Swift opened with “Welcome to New York,” using a mock NYC backdrop and featuring her retinue of all-male dancers. For the third track, Swift launched into “Blank Space” and extended the number by using a vocal loop of her singing to repeat the word “Tokyo” and harmonize with herself.

Trending on Billboard

Swift explained her decision to start the tour in Tokyo: “This year changed my life and I wanted to come here to say thank you.”

The 1989 album was heavily featured in this tour starter, and Swift gave a number of explanations pertaining to the release. “For this album I was a 25-year-old girl, single, writing about love from the outside looking in. I learned a lot about love from…watching movies! Eighties teen movies like Sixteen Candles. “

Swift  continued to explain the basic plot of these kinds of movies where something would drive the would-be lovers apart. She noted, “And then at the end of the movie the person shows up and says what the other person wants to hear….at 2 a.m.” With that she launched into “I Wish You Would,” a track that mentions “2 a.m” in the lyrics.

Later in the show, Swift ventured out on to the walkway, elevated high above the crowd. Standing alone with an acoustic guitar, Swift mused, “A lot of people find themselves with these blurred lines or mixed messages, not knowing if the person loves them back. In a perfect world it’s like you tell your love simply. You only have two options…either you leave…or you stay.” With that she leapt into “You Are in Love” solo with her steel string.

Before the next track, and still on the narrow platform above the floor audience, she observed, “There are 55,000 people here tonight and I can only assume that some of you have gone through hard times. I can only assume that some of you turned to music at those times, like I have. So we have that in common.”

Taylor then offered encouragement to audience, playing the ‘helpful friend’ role she’s often identified with. “Remember, you are not your mistakes. You are not damaged goods. You are not the opinion of someone who doesn’t know you. You are someone who survived a rainstorm which made you stronger. Now I believe a lot of rainstorms make you clean….clean.” With that the crane rotated and the songstress began “Clean.”

Still up on the crane, the singer then let loose with “Love Story,” and the crowd reacted as loudly to that as any track of the night. Back on the main stage, Taylor broke out her electric guitar for “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” as the Dome rocked.

Switching instruments, she sat down at the piano and told the crowd, “I’m looking out at an ocean of people that have been singing along all night and that’s so beautiful that you would do that even if you don’t speak English! It makes me feel so wistful and romantic that you would do that.” And then she massaged the keyboards for the mash-up “Enchanted/Wildest Dreams.”

All the dancers and Taylor boogied on the catwalk high above the floor as it rotated and moved forward for the finale “Shake It Off.” Confetti rained on the audience more than once, bringing to a close to the nearly two-hour performance.

The elated audience was only outdone by Swift, who looked genuinely thrilled at the superb show she just pulled off.

Concert film [ ]

The 1989 World Tour Live is a concert film by Taylor Swift. It was released on December 20, 2015, exclusively via Apple Music. Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, the film follows the Sydney stop of Swift's fourth headlining concert tour, The 1989 World Tour. The show, which was attended by 75,980 fans, remains Swift's most attended concert to date.

Signs were displayed at the sold out Sydney concert on November 28, 2015, at ANZ Stadium which said "Today's events are being recorded and filmed for global streaming, and may also form part of a television program... for commercial and promotional purposes." Although there was no further information about what the filming was for at the time, there was speculation that it would form a DVD of the 1989 World Tour to be released once the tour concluded its run in Melbourne in late 2015. Later speculation involved an Apple Music Video launch, which was proved to be correct. Coincidentally, " All You Had to Do Was Stay " and " This Love " were added back into the show after having been left off the set list for several months. This makes the Sydney setlist identical to that of Tokyo when the tour premiered.

Taylor Swift - 1989 World Tour (Live 2015)

On December 13, 2015 — Swift's 26th birthday—she announced she had partnered with Apple Music to release a concert film entitled The 1989 World Tour Live in one weeks' time. It contains over two hours of concert, interview, and never-before seen backstage and rehearsal footage with some of the musical and surprise guests from previous shows. Celebrities making appearances in the film include Mick Jagger, Jason Derulo, Idina Menzel, Justin Timberlake, Wiz Khalifa, and Alanis Morissette. It was directed by Jonas Åkerlund. Clips from the film were later compiled for the music video for the seventh and final single from the album, " New Romantics ".

The custom stage built for the 1989 Tour is one-of-a-kind. It was a classic catwalk shape that's 100 ft long but the center part could detach from the main catwalk. It a was semi-modular type design able to rise up and do a 360° turn, it permitted to get closer to fans, the technology was like a propeller system.

Taylor Swift ‘1989’ World Tour: Set list, costumes, the stage, the spectacle

1989 tokyo tour

Warning: If you’re one of the Taylor Swift fans planning to see a concert on her highly-hyped “1989” world tour this year and don’t want spoilers, look away.

But if you’re curious about how one of the savviest pop stars of our time puts on a massive concert (expected to gross about $200 million ) here are some scenes from the first tour stop. It kicked off at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on Tuesday in front of a 55,000-plus sold out crowd; immediately, details started pouring out on social media.

* The set list:

While Swift’s set list generally stays the same throughout a tour, she’s always one for surprises: As she’s acknowledged, most of her diehard fans — the ones that ensure she’s the only artist who can still sell a million copies of an album these days — have watched  the entire concert on YouTube months before they arrive at the venue.

“Everything we’ve ever done, every decision I’ve made on my last tours, I wanted to flip it and do the opposite for this one,” Swift recently told “Access Hollywood.” “You have to switch it up, cause people get bored — more easily in 2015 than ever before.”

[ What a single tweet from Taylor Swift does to your music sales ]

Judging from the lists that have cropped up on Twitter, Swift plays nearly the entire “1989” album during the two-hour concert. Her Nashville roots are long gone, as are the majority of famous hits from her first albums. Though she does go back in time for “Love Story” (the third-highest selling digital country song of all time); “Enchanted” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

For the record, Swift’s show in Tokyo started at around 6:30 p.m. in Japan, translating to 5:30 a.m. Eastern: But fans were eagerly waking up at all hours to find the details:

Swift will play many stadiums and arenas on the tour (which arrives in America on May 20 in Bossier City, La.), so expect it to look something like this:

* Costume changes

Swift promised the fashion would be epic this time around.

* The opening number:

* The Katy Perry song:

* The after-party:

Similarly to the “T-Party” and “Club Red,” Swift’s team invites the hardcore fans to a meet and greet after the show. Looks like this one is called “Loft 89,” according to @TSwiftOnTour , a fan account that tweets details from every concert.

1989 Tour kicks off in Japan

Taylor Scalise , Staff Writer | May 6, 2015

Tuesday night, Taylor Swift kicked off the 1989 World Tour in Tokyo, Japan. 55,000 fans piled into the Tokyo Dome after waiting outside for hours to see the queen do what she does best.

When fans got to their seats, they were greeted by a bracelet that glowed different colors to the beat and themes of each song.

Swift started the two-hour show in a purple skirt and black crop top with 1989 ‘s first track, “Welcome to New York,” followed by fan favorite “New Romantics.” The setlist included a total of eighteen songs in the following order:

  • “Welcome to New York”
  • “New Romantics”
  • “Blank Space”
  • “I Knew You Were Trouble”
  • “How You Get The Girl”
  • “I Know Places”
  • “All You Had to Do Was Stay”
  • “You Are in Love”
  • “Clean”
  • “Love Story”
  • “Style”
  • “This Love”
  • “Bad Blood”
  • “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
  • “Enchanted/Wildest Dreams”
  • “Out Of The Woods”
  • “Shake It Off”

Many songs on the setlist were revamped, including “I Knew You Were Trouble” and a rock version of “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

The show contained many costume changes, and a catwalk that raised from the stage and spun.

In true Taylor Swift fashion, after the show she invited about twenty fans backstage to meet her in Loft 89. The best fans from each crowd are chosen for Loft 89 by Swift’s mother, Andrea, and other members of her team.

After the show, Taylor Swift tweeted, “The 1989 World Tour has officially started. I love you. I love you. I love you.”

Taylor Swift will bring the 1989 to Heinz Field on June 6, the same day as Bethel Park High School’s graduation, and tickets are still available through Ticketmaster.

The 1989 World Tour begins: Welcome to Tokyo! The 1989 Tour Set List

Some spoilers ahead, Taylor Nation. I don’t give away everything. Ready? 🙂

(Source: 13 Management)

First of all, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Ok, sorry had to get that out of my system. Yes, there’s clips online but you know that’s not how I roll. Or perhaps you don’t. Some exposition for you: I don’t really like to report every little detail of a new tour concert until I’ve seen it myself. For the people that want to remain spoiler-free this will be too much. For the people that want to know everything, this will be too much. But if you just want a small set of highlights, I hope to have you covered.

The first 1989 Tour set list:

Welcome to New York New Romantics Blank Space I Knew You Were Trouble I Wish You Would How You Get The Girl I Know Places All You Had To Do Was Stay You Are In Love Clean Love Story – Remix Style This Love Bad Blood We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Enchanted / Wildest Dreams Out Of The Woods Shake It Off

But if you want to have clips of each song, and know every little detail, you’re probably want a different site. If you want just a little more, I’d recommend Brian Mansfield’s USA Today article that uses some of the social media highlights. It you want everything, and I do mean everything, I’d recommend  TT4Taylor.com . Of course, you can also use the #1989TourTokyo hashtag. Yes, there are variations but I’m relying on the one Tay uses 😀

I will give you one little morsel though. This is Taylor Swift’s welcome speech for the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan on May 5, 1989. Wait, that’s wrong… I meant 2015. Clumsy me 🙂

Watch on YouTube

Oh, and the T-Party aka Red Club returns once more with the name Loft ’89. I would’ve gone with Studio 89 for a good 80’s vibe, but let’s give it time.

Coming up on the Calendar :

  • May 6: The 1989 World Tour – Tokyo, Japan – Tokyo Dome .
  • May 15:  Taylor Swift performs at  Rock in Rio USA in Las Vegas, NV.

Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour Might Be Over, But The Experience Lives On

1989 tokyo tour

Getty Images

Everyone, please take a moment to collect yourselves -- Taylor Swift 's 1989 World Tour is officially over.

After 85 shows over seven months and spanning four different continents -- and seemingly endless special guests -- the 1989 tour came to a close on Friday night in Melbourne, Australia. It became Taylor's most talked-about tour to date and could even become her most profitable one, too. And as the singer herself tweeted out on Friday night, the tour has also nuzzled up its own spot in her heart.

That group hug features a small snippet of the 125-person squad employed to make the tour happen every single show -- crew Taylor recently took on vacation to thank them for all their hard work. Yeah, all of these people:

The tour kicked off back on May 5 in Tokyo, Japan, but let's face it: Nobody can say definitively what they were doing on May 5 this year (except possibly/maybe/probably drinking a margarita in honor of Cinco De Mayo). That's why this pic from that first Tokyo show is so fun to look at now.

There's a palpable sense of glee in Taylor's face, though if you look at any other photo from any other night of the tour, you'll see the same. That's what's so cool about it.

Back in July, we rounded up 12 artists we hoped we'd see on the 1989 tour, and we're happy to say that seven of them came true. We batted better than 500 this season. We'll take that.

On her 26th birthday (Dec. 13), Taylor assured fans that the 1989 tour feels will continue well into 2016 (and beyond) with a concert film, "The 1989 Tour Live," directed by Jonas Akerlund.

Members will be able to stream the film on Apple Music on December 20.

1989 tokyo tour

Taylor Swift may attract more U.S. luxury travelers to Paris for Eras Tour than Olympics

1989 tokyo tour

PARIS — Try and come for Taylor Swift's job. The superstar is playing a four-night stint in Paris, jumpstarting the 18-city European leg of the Eras Tour , and she may have drawn more Americans to France than the upcoming Olympics.

Jack Ezon, the CEO of Embark Beyond , a luxury travel agency based in New York City, said the Swift is generating five times the bookings as the summer games, as first reported in the Strait Times .

Although there is still time to arrange trips for the Olympics, held from July 26–Aug. 11, Ezon said his company has booked more than 200 Parisian vacations for Swifties. The average stay is three nights, and a third of the reservations are for mothers and daughters.

Cheaper to buy French vacation than one U.S. ticket

Swift changed up her three-plus-hour show to incorporate her 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department." She's been working on the change for 8-9 months , since the singer-songwriter took a two-month break in fall 2023 to premiere her concert movie to theaters and release "1989 (Taylor's Version)." The updates have driven up excitement and demand for the Eras Tour with American fans wanting to see the modified show.

"The tickets to go to Indianapolis are like $5,000 apiece," says Stephanie Gottschalk waiting in line for the second Paris show with her daughter Brooklynn. "For us to fly here, stay in the hotel and buy the tickets was about $5,000 total. So half the price. And we got to experience Europe. We got to go to the Eiffel Tower and create memories that we're going to remember for the rest of our lives."

Dressed in "Bejeweled" outfits, the Gottschalks were already planning another trip back to Europe to see the record-breaking tour again.

"We've already started looking into Switzerland," Stephanie says. Swift will play in Zürich's Stadion Letzigrund for two nights July 9-10.

The Eras Tour will head back to the U.S. in the fall with October and November shows in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis. As of Saturday, the cheapest U.S. ticket on resale site StubHub.com was $1,615 for New Orleans. The most expensive VIP seat was worth $11,701 for Miami.

Global impact felt

The Swift Effect — a boost to local, state and national economies — was felt during the first year of the Eras Tour. According to Bloomberg Economics, Swift's concerts contributed $4.3 billion to America's gross domestic product. In Japan, the massive concert is estimated to have pumped $228 million (¥34.1 billion) into the country with $162.7 million (¥24.3 billion) going directly to Tokyo. In Australia, Swift was expected to sell $66 million worth of merchandise . Edwin Tong, Singapore politican and minister for culture, community and youth, said the country paid Swift $2-3 million dollars to exclusively play in the country.

Swift will perform Sunday night in La Défense Arena in Paris before heading to Stockholm, Sweden.

1989 tokyo tour

All the Surprise Songs Taylor Swift Has Played On The Eras Tour So Far

Over a year into Taylor Swift's Eras tour, she has found ways to keep the show fresh and new for those who have been waiting since she opened in Phoenix, Arizona in March 2023 to see her. Since the tour began in the United States last year, Swift has released two rerecorded albums -  Speak Now (Taylor's Version)  and  1989 (Taylor's Version)  in addition to a brand-new double album,  The Tortured Poets Department. 

Right as she picked the tour back up in 2024, she flew from Tokyo, Japan to Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada (where she had previously performed) to watch her beau Travis Kelce and his NFL team the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl.

Every show on the Eras Tour involves an acoustic set where Swift performs at least two songs custom to that night's show. At first, she wouldn't allow herself repeats unless she messed up the lyrics to a song, but now, she has done away with that rule and gotten more creative by combining songs in mashups and playing up to four in a segment. The first song or three take place on guitar, and then she shifts to piano for the second half before diving beneath the stage to resume the setlist – which has since contracted and expanded to include a  Tortured Poets Department  era and set .

Below you'll find Taylor Swift's surprise songs that she has played most recently in Europe as well as a record of all those she has played on the entire tour so far.
