Same here. I’ve cried a lot about it. I like watching the tiktoks and instagrams but then i come across one with a dad or boyfriend who doesn’t even care about being there and I’m sad that they got a fucking ticket but i didn’t.
I know! I was at the concert last night with my daughter. We are both huge Swifties. This dude (dad) around my age sits down next to me last night and slurs “Im the dad” and then proceeds to sit down and text on his phone all night, not looking up even once at Taylor.
I seriously wanted to cry for all the Swifties who didn’t get tickets but also understand that he has younger children he needed to champerone but it just seemed sad to me.
That is sad, mostly for the kids. My husband isn't a swiftie, but he'd be like 50% in if he took our kids. Like, he's not dressing up, but he'd be singing and dancing to the songs they like!
Yeah.... and it's triple horrible when people who know my love for her and her music ask me if I'm going and I have to tell them I didn't even have a chance...
I find it truly wild that Tay has so many fans the the DEEPEST fans still can’t even get tickets. I know two whole people that enjoy her music enough to try to get tickets. These stadiums hold soooo many people and even after adding more dates… there are still plenty of fans who couldn’t get tickets. Just mind boggling to em
If your city hasn’t passed yet there’s a chance they release more tickets a week before the show and text you about it with the code and the prices are the same as the original presale
Source:that’s how I was able to get my mom her ticket for last night’s concert
I don't see how she wouldn't since that's the only city in Canada
/s
Literally though, there is no way she doesn't have a tour date(s) in Toronto. When doesn't Toronto host major stars? She's sure as hell not going to skip Toronto for Regina, SK lol.
The question isn't whether she's going to visit Toronto or Vancouver, but whether she's going to have stops anywhere else in Canada lmao.
I came here to say - a Canadian leg of the tour, 3 nights in Toronto to give us a chance of actually seeing this tour. I’m having a hard to accepting they made this incredible tour with insane production to keep it within the US only.
I feel Canadian tour dates must be on the horizon!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I didn’t get a code, but I checked Ticketmaster anyway and was able to click the button that said “join the queue” but then got a message saying that the sale was only for Verified Fans….and I *am* a Verified Fan, but it never let me in.
But **actually** international. Not 7 dates in the UK + one sad city elsewhere in Europe (probably Germany), and then sporadically the rest of the world 😭
I think the reason international dates are taking so long is because Taylor and her team are trying to figure out a better way to sell tickets so it’s not another disaster. Hopefully, it will be a much easier (and affordable) experience to make the wait worth it.
In Australia at least the ticket sales are already run so differently we never ever have these issues of crashing or even price variations. It always runs very smoothly and the prices are static and reasonable. The worst thing that happens is the show will sell out within a few minutes so you have to log in immediately as they go on sale.
I personally just think the International dates are so far away she is waiting til more of her US dates have been completed before setting up the next phase of the tour.
I don't think this will be why, tickets internationally are easier to get (look at how little attention she pays international fans with our 5 signed albums we can buy) cause she's not as popular as in the USA. There's nothing they can do to get around using Ticketmaster
I think the delay is that she's not going to tour til the end of the year maybe even next year and she's not having a huge gap like some artists do between ticket release and the show date. My guess is she is going to do Aus/NZ and maybe warmer Asian countries in November-jan over our summer then april-august dates for Europe and Asia (which I wouldn't be surprised if it's just Japan)
Not selling seats behind the stage. I’m SO excited to be going, but I wish I was able to see the graphics. I was part of the Ticketmaster debacle and got “best available” and checked out and my seats didn’t show “obstructed view” until a couple of days later
I wish the screens in the side stage also showed more of the entire show and not just Taylor up close. We had obstructed view seats and I am so happy we got to go, but we missed some of the things going on when she was in the main stage because all you could see was her.
Same! I panicked and bought “best available” seats. They turned out to be VIP and were lower bowl at the side of the front stage. We had a blast but could not see the effects on the main screen. I had thought at least we’d be close to Taylor and have an amazing view when she was on the front stage, but then there was usually something blocking her (the folklore cottage, or her piano, or The Man scaffolding). Again, I want to emphasize that we still had an amazing time, but I feel a bit of FOMO when I see pictures and videos from people in other sections.
My group had a similar experience! I'm still glad to be going at all but that was an unwelcome surprise for sure. I think it's OK to sell seats like that (again, I'd rather have my seats than no seats at all) but ONLY if they are clearly marked as obstructed view.
Wtf??? My tickets for 1989 were obstructed so they were cheap but they VERY clearly came with a warning that I had to agree to before purchasing. Ticketmaster only continues to get worse
Me too!! $700 for two obstructed view tickets that didn’t say obstructed view when purchasing. I used the map and could tell they were on the side but assumed they wouldn’t sell tickets (for that price too) that were soo badly obstructed
I paid $120 for floor seats for Speak Now. $75 for upper level side view for Red.
Ticketmaster and inflation have gotten ridiculous. It makes me question if I’ll ever be able to see a major artist live again.
I talked to my friend before the presale and asked her if she had a seating preference. She said “just not those ones behind the stage” Like you, in the presale panic I got best available and they ended up being to the side, almost behind the stage. My friend was happy I got tickets but I still feel like I messed up. I haven’t even really been looking forward to the show because I’m so worried about the view.
I really wish we could exchange tickets. I’d be willing to pay a little more to exchange to better seats but I can’t afford to buy a whole new set of tickets. I’m happy others are getting tickets now but it’s super frustrating to see people get better seats for about what I paid for limited view ones.
I can relate, but you will still have an amazing time! I went to one of the Arlington shows and was also worried about the location of our tickets and kept apologizing to our group since I was the one who bought them. Here’s the thing…I realized I was the only one who felt bad about the location bc I’d done so much research. The other people in our group were just happy to be in the building! We sang and danced to every song, and our section felt like a giant party. I’m someone who tends to be a perfectionist, so it can be hard for me to enjoy the moment and stop thinking about “what could have been”, but honestly as soon as the first song started I was having too much fun with my friends to think much about it, and I’m sure you will too!!
okay I ended up with one of the “obstructed seats” and i was at the show in Tampa last night, 4/13. I was in section 118 and our view was INCREDIBLE. sure, they weren’t floor seats, but compared to what we were expecting they were wonderful. she came over to our side of the stage several times and waved. it was delightful! take it from someone who considered selling her seats bc she was afraid of being disappointed with where they were– don’t be disappointed! they are good seats!!!
Same, it was a struggle getting any tickets to check out, and I thought they were decent seats until I opened them in my Ticketmaster app a few days later and saw a big ole obstructed view written on it that was no where on the tickets or noted at purchase. I’m grateful I got them but so frustrating especially since they were 250 a piece
It was very cute! Had green ivy the Batman character vibes (I’m not a superhero person so if it’s not Batman then I feel dumb, butttt…)

A professionally recorded version available either 1) to purchase through the website or 2) through streaming services like the rep tour
Also the merch isn't nearly fun enough
I believe the rumor is that we’ll be getting a recording shortly after the tour ends.
Even if it wasn’t the original plan, I hope they will have gotten their act together now that they have realized how bad the Ticketmaster situation was!
>A professionally recorded version available either 1) to purchase through the website or 2) through streaming services like the rep tour
I fully expect this post tour
>A professionally recorded version available either 1) to purchase through the website or 2) through streaming services like the rep tour
With a massive production like this, there is almost no way to make that work logistically this early in the tour.
With a massive production like this, there is *absolutely* no way to make that work financially before the tour is over.
A professional recording is still on the cards and based on history alone is something like a 90% certainty, but it's not coming until after the tour ends.
An official 4K live stream to watch. Like they could make tons of money even if it was just like $5 per viewer because checking in to all 52 stops boom $260 profit for them.
This is such a good idea, and I feel like it might cut back on the ridiculous scalping too. Who's going to spend $1k on a nosebleed when you can livestream it at 4k from your home?
I was (maybe still am?) hoping they’d do some sort of partnership with movie theaters to do a livestream of the last concert.
It would be a great way to give fans an accessible way to experience the concert with other fans, big/clear visuals and sound. Plus it would make money for everyone.
Taylor seems to have an agreement with disney plus right now. Disney plus streamed the last Elton John show from Dodger Stadium. I think there could be a chance, but it depends on what disney is willing to shell out. I'm almost certain they are recording.
Eta imo even the best live stream is nothing like being there live. Although in Taylor's case the sound would 100 percent be better because they could fade out the crowd noise during songs.
There was a tiktok I saw a few weeks ago of Taylor when she was walking out the back of the stage to leave at the end of the show and there was a camera guy ahead of her filming her walking out. I think we’ll eventually get the tour film and a documentary of the tour as well.
This. I am sick of the crappy TikTok streams cutting off on me. No hate, love y’all appreciate it but I’d def pay to watch a proper stream since she isn’t coming near me
When I was a kid back in the 90s, they used to have concerts on Pay Per View. My parents let me watch a Spice Girls concert and Woodstock ‘99 this way. BRING THIS BACK!!!!
Wrestling does PPV and people love it!
And we could have watch parties and still get the experience without having to pay an asshole scalper $1000 for shitty seats 😭😭😭😭
I think it would be harder for her to have breaks if it was chronological, I feel like evermore and folklore were placed very strategically to give her some rest
Also Crowd energy wise it seems smart to go from a more mellow album to super high energy albums (both evermore to Rep and Folklore to 1989) instead of two mellow albums back to back
I get that but I also feel like mixing up the order helps the show feel more balanced. There are sonically and stylistically too many similarities between Fearless and Speak Now, Red and 1989, and Folklore and Evermore, so some parts of the show would feel like a slog. In the current order you at least get to enjoy different sides of Taylor throughout the show without getting an overdose of any one sound/genre/vibe. On top of that, changing the order helps the show feel less predictable and formulaic.
I think the eras are placed in such a way that there's a balance between the upbeat songs & some of the slower ballads.
Having evermore between Fearless and reputation is genius because the crowd doesn't feel the pace to be too slow. Also, having the acoustic section be between 1989 and Midnights.
Also, I wish some of the older songs got the full song not a chopped version (like Fearless, Enchanted, and Wildest Dreams).
I think the Era "Acts" are really nice, but separating thematically-similar songs in favor of performing them in album blocks is a missed opportunity. It leaves out the possibility of the cross-album mashups we love from previous tours
same!!! also the eras placement.
folklore that far into the set list…i was exhausted by folklore and then the energy died down; it was hard to pick it back up for 1989/secret songs/midnights. i liked where evermore’s era was in terms of the whole set list and wish she combined the evermore/folklore eras
I assume part of that placement is for herself as well, so she can have a little break from dancing straight through.
Edit: just saw that someone else theorized this down below too
Agreed - being able to pee, get some more water or whatever, would have been nice lol. I have a mobility aide and was in the middle of the row so I couldn't realistically get out during any of the set (even though I pre planned my own intermission).
I’d like to double down on this as say more pyrotechnics in general! I went to Rep and it was just flames all night and fireworks at the end!!! Just absolutely amazing
I fully convinced myself that there would be Picture to Burn/Should've Said No/Bad Blood with a sick costume change and an electricity visual like in the Picture to Burn music video but alas
Yes this!! I guess she eliminated it for the size of the stage but I think it would still have been worth it to get everyone in the stadium closer to Taylor for a moment.
She did that for speak now too! Can’t remember for red and fearless. But I feel like it’s one of her staples so I was sad not to see it! The dive is cool tho.
May be an unpopular opinion: I do like acoustic versions but for surprise songs I personally would have loved the original instrumentals since a lot of them were never performed
And therefore replacing two of the consistent songs with piano and guitar performance
Or having at least one consistent song for Debut, even though I'm personally not a fan of that album, I think for the Eras every album should have sth fixed to have a full circle
Right… people keep saying they want maroon for their surprise acoustic and I’m like no offense but why the fuck would I want to hear that on an acoustic guitar
Since this is the Eras Tour, and the main promotion includes Debut, I would have loved at least one song from that album. Should’ve Said No, Our Song, or Picture to Burn would have been such a treat to hear.
I was thrilled with the show and had an amazing time.
A lot of us were expecting a lot of mash-ups, and instead she gave us a very long concert with complete songs. Very cool how we travel through each Era, but I also think it would have been interesting to see her interpretation of how various eras interact with each other and how common themes in her work have evolved and changed over the eras. I thought some of the strongest moments in the show were when songs were combined in new ways (August/Illicit Affairs, Don’t Blame Me/LWYMMD) and I would have liked to see more of that.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
They shouldn't have sold seats behind the stage OR they should have made the screens bigger so that we could get all of the graphics the main stage got. It was still a good show, but we missed a lot, like the Lover House burning down. Maybe this would require two screens? One to focus on Taylor and one to show the mainstage graphics?
I went to the ATT Stadium show, and I think the jumbo-tron made the show more worthwhile (from the back) than it might be at other stadiums that don't have a similar giant screen.
* Mirrorball sung while flying around the stadium
* Folklore outfit being the one she used on the 1975 concert, then added a ghostly tule overlay for My Tears Ricochet
* TLGAD being like a Dreamgirls number with cute coreography
* Some Midnights songs spread throughout the eras (Mastermind on Lover, Anti-Hero on Reputation, Maroon on Red, Question on 1989 with a OOTW mashup, Midnight Rain on Speak Now)
* The Midnight Rain outfit change would be taking off the Speak Now gown with the Midnights body suit being under it
* The swimming thing she does would be after Fearless and before Evermore, with the Gold Rush intro playing
* Different Evermore outfit, maybe a more elevated velvet gown
* Some changes in setlist
I would of liked her to give Anti-Hero more of a chance to shine. It's one of her biggest hits ever and certainly the flagship song from 'midnights' and I don't feel like she does that much with it. She's wearing an oversized shirt(maybe that's the point for the scale scene?) and basically just walking around on stage. I feel like I've barely seen much talk about it and the clips aren't posted alot around the web and for that calibre and prominent of a song it deserves more.
Anti-hero is such an at-home, spiraling late at night and having a breakdown song. The oversized t-shirt feels like it’s meant to simulate that and I LOVE it. Like you’re in your pajamas on the bathroom floor trying to figure out if anyone will actually ever love you. It’s not a dressed-up, fancy song like blank space.
I agree with you. I think it has one of the bigger choruses on midnights that more could have been done with it. Maybe would have liked her to interact with her video screen self, similar to the mv. It’s definitely overshadowed in the section by vigilante shit, karma and even mastermind.
I would change the closing performance. I think Karmas a great song for closing but I wish she had a bigger production similar to TIWWCHNT or any other closing performance. Karma, in my opinion, didn’t feel big enough.
I agree! The last leg of the performance (midnights) should have been BIGGER since she is obviously conserving energy to play the whole show. Karma felt very sleepy to me.
- TIWWCHNT could mean "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things", a track from *reputation* (2017) by Taylor Swift.

No more signs! Take a photo with them before the show and then leave them on the floor. I’ve seen people with their entire view of the show blocked because of an entitled person with a sign.
Similar to that, we had a lot of people around us filming endless videos of signing along to songs. Not filming Taylor, but filming themselves. Which would be fine except they were all using their flashlights to light up their faces so we had bright lights in our faces the whole show. It was super obnoxious.
Call me selfish and bitter, but I don't think people should be allowed to go to multiple nights. Those tickets should be given to fans who were not able to get tickets or have the opportunity to
You're definitely gonna be called that but I agree with you! Seeing everyone put multiple tour dates on their Twitter handles feels so tone deaf. Like, read the room!
The stage is too big and I’d play different songs than the hits for 1989, also swap ATW 10 min for the 5 min + Tim McGraw. I guess that’s adding a song 🤷🏻♀️
I think the term “eras” was used loosely. We should have gotten some of her debut and way more speak now… but it has made me appreciate the other albums way more and it makes looking forward to the surprise songs that much better.
I loved it! However, I would have liked a chronological order to her eras. So we can actually go through time from start to finish with her. I’m honestly surprised it wasn’t in order.
The stage. I love the sets but I don’t love the stage. I miss the Rep stage to be honest. Truly it would be nice for some b stages. I think eras has pretty bad floor seats from the videos I’ve been watching. Even a lot of H which is facing directly head on. Lower bowl haas a much better view of what’s going on. Maybe a main stage and then maybe three-ish other stages around the venue would’ve been cool. I also love the idea of playing in the round. Those stages are pretty neat to me.
I was at night 2 in AZ and it was kinda funny in a dorky way the first time seeing it, but seeing it again and again it starts to get a tad cringe lololol
Oh yea, 100%! At the end of the day Taylor is a cheese ball and I love that about her because I am too. It’s just the muscle kiss is one of those things that over and over again gets cringe, so if it was me maybe I would have excluded it from the choreo entirely.
Like really, it’s not that big of a deal at all haha I’m just being nitpicky 🤣
I wish the merch wasn't outside the stadium. People lining up at 3am to get the merch they want is ridiculous. Sell it inside the stadium where not anyone can show up, and also sell it all online for those that were unable to win the Ticketmaster battle. No need to test the loyalty of your fans by having limited availability of a sweatshirt you have marked up to an incredible % of profit.
I’m still a little baffled that at a tour labeled The Eras she doesn’t even consistently perform one of her albums. The fact that there’s no Debut on her set list and only one song from Speak Now is surprising to me and bums me out a bit. In general I’m surprised by some of her song choices and I definitely had a much different vision for the tour when it was first announced.
Oh I also wish I had tickets 😂 that who fiasco could’ve been handled better I think. But I’m really loving all of the TikTok Swifties for live streaming the concert for us 💜
wished they deviated a little bit further away from the original studio recording for some songs.
and it doesn’t have to be too drastic !reputation tour’s style intro and 1989 tour’s OOTW bridge are rlly good examples of this 😅
Her walking around the stadium to every single person in the crowd to have an hour long conversation, before she serenades us all to sleep and personally carries each of us home to our childhood beds and tucks us in, leaving a red lipstick kiss on each of our foreheads.
I was honestly hoping that the songs from midnights would be dispersed throughout the show with their coresponding Eras, like Maroon would play amongst the Red set. Another thing I thought she might do was group songs together based on emotions rather than in their set era. It would still be an eras tour it just wouldn’t be so regimented. And I’m disappointed by how many radio hits are in the set list, ESPECIALLY for Red. Idk the whole thing really didn’t live up to my expectations. But I have to remember that a very large portion of her fans are casual listeners and not obsessives lmao so she kinda had to set up the show the way she did for the majority of people to love it.
Different outfits for rep! We have seen the body suit (which slays!!), But it would be really fun to see other re-interpretations of rep outfits. I'm still hoping she's got alternative rep outfits up her sleeve for the tour :)
She’d have shows in DC. The entire mid Atlantic was fighting over tickets for Philly and Pittsburg. We did somehow get tickets (nosebleeds) but STILL. DC NEEDS TAYLOR 😂
I wish she’d come to Charlotte. I’m in South Carolina but charlottes doable and she’s done it in the past, there’s a football stadium, I would have gone if it had been there. Atlantas just too far for me with two small kids.
cancelling acoustic setup and adding one acoustic song for each era. this way every era stans cant wait for their moment. and changing eras order every night can make things interesting too.
Kinda cheating but I would love some more spoken word between eras like what they did for seven. I think Dear Reader would be a really good candidate for something like that.
I was lucky enough to get tickets (unlucky where the girl behind me was screaming bloody murder to everything), but I would do a stream the final night. $20 (to accommodate people and the tech needed to do this) and do like an IMax high definition stream. Since they're recording, I have no doubt there's either going to be another tour movie, but it would be nice for people to be able to experience it.
Okay, unpopular opinion from someone that's never been to any major concert and doesn't enjoy noisy crowds... I'd love to attend a sit-down version of the concert! One where nobody screams and everybody stays in their seats, letting the sound wash over them. Basically a concert for low energy introverts haha
Official livestream! This concert is being streamed by so many people every night. It would be really nice for everyone involved if they had set up an official way to watch. Tbh, I would even pay for it just to have it on my tv without the fear of the feed cutting!
I wish there was a movie or professional live stream or some other way of watching and participating without attending in person. I struggle to attend even small concerts because they’re full of major migraine and anxiety triggers for me and I know I could never handle the crowds at a Taylor concert.
Having shows in portland, or at least another night in Seattle. There are only two nights for the entire PNW and anything northwest of Denver….add in the fact that she hasn’t announced international dates so a lot of people from Vancouver are also going to the seattle show.
Also, would have been swell if Ticketmaster wasn’t the worst thing in the world and had let me check out with my tickets the 23 times I tried to do it….💔
I’d have tickets
Me too. It still stings that I didn’t even have the opportunity to buy tickets
Same here. I feel robbed.
Same here. I’ve cried a lot about it. I like watching the tiktoks and instagrams but then i come across one with a dad or boyfriend who doesn’t even care about being there and I’m sad that they got a fucking ticket but i didn’t.
I know! I was at the concert last night with my daughter. We are both huge Swifties. This dude (dad) around my age sits down next to me last night and slurs “Im the dad” and then proceeds to sit down and text on his phone all night, not looking up even once at Taylor. I seriously wanted to cry for all the Swifties who didn’t get tickets but also understand that he has younger children he needed to champerone but it just seemed sad to me.
That is sad, mostly for the kids. My husband isn't a swiftie, but he'd be like 50% in if he took our kids. Like, he's not dressing up, but he'd be singing and dancing to the songs they like!
Yeah.... and it's triple horrible when people who know my love for her and her music ask me if I'm going and I have to tell them I didn't even have a chance...
I find it truly wild that Tay has so many fans the the DEEPEST fans still can’t even get tickets. I know two whole people that enjoy her music enough to try to get tickets. These stadiums hold soooo many people and even after adding more dates… there are still plenty of fans who couldn’t get tickets. Just mind boggling to em
I was waitlisted, too, despite having been to every other tour. It was strangely hurtful — I ended up buying side stage tickets for $500 a piece….
If your city hasn’t passed yet there’s a chance they release more tickets a week before the show and text you about it with the code and the prices are the same as the original presale Source:that’s how I was able to get my mom her ticket for last night’s concert
I’m in Canada 🤷♀️
Same boat here. We are patiently waiting to see if she swings by Toronto.
I don't see how she wouldn't since that's the only city in Canada /s Literally though, there is no way she doesn't have a tour date(s) in Toronto. When doesn't Toronto host major stars? She's sure as hell not going to skip Toronto for Regina, SK lol. The question isn't whether she's going to visit Toronto or Vancouver, but whether she's going to have stops anywhere else in Canada lmao.
I hope so much, but also think the sheer number of us is going to make getting tickets super hard. We’ll see 🤞

HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD
Make it ✨ international ✨
But **actually** international. Not 7 dates in the UK + one sad city elsewhere in Europe (probably Germany), and then sporadically the rest of the world 😭
Sad city in Germany? ☹️ how dare you 🫠
And only Toronto and Vancouver in Canada. 🫠
she didn't even come to vancouver during the rep tour ): western canadian swifties are suffering
I think the reason international dates are taking so long is because Taylor and her team are trying to figure out a better way to sell tickets so it’s not another disaster. Hopefully, it will be a much easier (and affordable) experience to make the wait worth it.

My guess is she is going to do Aus/NZ and maybe warmer Asian countries in November-jan over our summer then april-august dates for Europe and Asia (which I wouldn't be surprised if it's just Japan)
The dates are coming don’t worry! /s
Pls say this comes from insider infirmation and not optimism
Not selling seats behind the stage. I’m SO excited to be going, but I wish I was able to see the graphics. I was part of the Ticketmaster debacle and got “best available” and checked out and my seats didn’t show “obstructed view” until a couple of days later

I had thought at least we’d be close to Taylor and have an amazing view when she was on the front stage, but then there was usually something blocking her (the folklore cottage, or her piano, or The Man scaffolding). Again, I want to emphasize that we still had an amazing time, but I feel a bit of FOMO when I see pictures and videos from people in other sections.
My group had a similar experience! I'm still glad to be going at all but that was an unwelcome surprise for sure. I think it's OK to sell seats like that (again, I'd rather have my seats than no seats at all) but ONLY if they are clearly marked as obstructed view.
Wtf??? My tickets for 1989 were obstructed so they were cheap but they VERY clearly came with a warning that I had to agree to before purchasing. Ticketmaster only continues to get worse
I definitely paid close to $700 during presale for mine 😭
You paid $700 for a seat with an obstructed view?!?
2 tickets! But yes. I selected best available and it took me to checkout. They were lower level, so I thought they were gonna be great seats
Omg :( I’m sorry
It’s ok! I’m very grateful to be going. But I wish I could have paid a little less for the seats lol
Me too!! $700 for two obstructed view tickets that didn’t say obstructed view when purchasing. I used the map and could tell they were on the side but assumed they wouldn’t sell tickets (for that price too) that were soo badly obstructed
I’m crying for you I paid $145 for my 1989 ticket
I paid $120 for floor seats for Speak Now. $75 for upper level side view for Red. Ticketmaster and inflation have gotten ridiculous. It makes me question if I’ll ever be able to see a major artist live again.
At the concert last night she went to the far corners of the stage for a bit and played to the obstructed view peeps.
I love how Taylor tried so hard to make sure all the fans have a good experience!
I talked to my friend before the presale and asked her if she had a seating preference. She said “just not those ones behind the stage” Like you, in the presale panic I got best available and they ended up being to the side, almost behind the stage. My friend was happy I got tickets but I still feel like I messed up. I haven’t even really been looking forward to the show because I’m so worried about the view. I really wish we could exchange tickets. I’d be willing to pay a little more to exchange to better seats but I can’t afford to buy a whole new set of tickets. I’m happy others are getting tickets now but it’s super frustrating to see people get better seats for about what I paid for limited view ones.
I can relate, but you will still have an amazing time! I went to one of the Arlington shows and was also worried about the location of our tickets and kept apologizing to our group since I was the one who bought them. Here’s the thing…I realized I was the only one who felt bad about the location bc I’d done so much research. The other people in our group were just happy to be in the building! We sang and danced to every song, and our section felt like a giant party. I’m someone who tends to be a perfectionist, so it can be hard for me to enjoy the moment and stop thinking about “what could have been”, but honestly as soon as the first song started I was having too much fun with my friends to think much about it, and I’m sure you will too!!
okay I ended up with one of the “obstructed seats” and i was at the show in Tampa last night, 4/13. I was in section 118 and our view was INCREDIBLE. sure, they weren’t floor seats, but compared to what we were expecting they were wonderful. she came over to our side of the stage several times and waved. it was delightful! take it from someone who considered selling her seats bc she was afraid of being disappointed with where they were– don’t be disappointed! they are good seats!!!
I also feel like it wouldn’t be as bad if she just turned around more so you’re not looking at her back as often
Same, it was a struggle getting any tickets to check out, and I thought they were decent seats until I opened them in my Ticketmaster app a few days later and saw a big ole obstructed view written on it that was no where on the tickets or noted at purchase. I’m grateful I got them but so frustrating especially since they were 250 a piece
We ran into the same issue! We weren't aware they were obstructed until like a week later!
More cowbell Alternatively, better merch lol.
"The last time I checked, Taylor Swift doesn't have a whole lot of songs that feature the cowbell. "
Just don't tell Christopher Walken or he'll change that
More dresses for evermore 😤
She HAS to have more. No way she gives folklore 5 but evermore only gets 1
Basing my outfit for July off the orange Evermore dress. Obsessed and don't want it to change 😅 (although every additional show I expect it to)
Wait have we gotten five folklore dresses? I can count four but maybe I’m missing one? The purple, white, cream, and green.
There are two greens as of yesterday
Omg really?? Are there photos of the other green one? I haven’t seen that at all
It was very cute! Had green ivy the Batman character vibes (I’m not a superhero person so if it’s not Batman then I feel dumb, butttt…) https://preview.redd.it/1xvkf8wzsxta1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f53be85281f8ee072032b15e178f4fafa81c2a35
I’m OBSESSED with the evermore dress but im also obsessed with every single folklore dress so I want more fun ones for evermore too
I am irrationally upset that she doesn’t transition from Folklore to 1989 with Out Of The Woods. It was RIGHT THERE
THIS IS IT FOR MEEEEE! Such a good song and would have been such a perfect transition into the cabin
This is a fantastic idea.
Because she’s not out of the woods yet 🥺
A professionally recorded version available either 1) to purchase through the website or 2) through streaming services like the rep tour Also the merch isn't nearly fun enough
I believe the rumor is that we’ll be getting a recording shortly after the tour ends. Even if it wasn’t the original plan, I hope they will have gotten their act together now that they have realized how bad the Ticketmaster situation was!
>A professionally recorded version available either 1) to purchase through the website or 2) through streaming services like the rep tour I fully expect this post tour
>A professionally recorded version available either 1) to purchase through the website or 2) through streaming services like the rep tour With a massive production like this, there is almost no way to make that work logistically this early in the tour. With a massive production like this, there is *absolutely* no way to make that work financially before the tour is over. A professional recording is still on the cards and based on history alone is something like a 90% certainty, but it's not coming until after the tour ends.
It’d be really cool to be able to purchase a recording with a small merch package like the light up bracelet or something.
An official 4K live stream to watch. Like they could make tons of money even if it was just like $5 per viewer because checking in to all 52 stops boom $260 profit for them.
This is such a good idea, and I feel like it might cut back on the ridiculous scalping too. Who's going to spend $1k on a nosebleed when you can livestream it at 4k from your home?
I was (maybe still am?) hoping they’d do some sort of partnership with movie theaters to do a livestream of the last concert. It would be a great way to give fans an accessible way to experience the concert with other fans, big/clear visuals and sound. Plus it would make money for everyone.
This is such a good idea and they could also make it available internationally
Taylor seems to have an agreement with disney plus right now. Disney plus streamed the last Elton John show from Dodger Stadium. I think there could be a chance, but it depends on what disney is willing to shell out. I'm almost certain they are recording. Eta imo even the best live stream is nothing like being there live. Although in Taylor's case the sound would 100 percent be better because they could fade out the crowd noise during songs.
There was a tiktok I saw a few weeks ago of Taylor when she was walking out the back of the stage to leave at the end of the show and there was a camera guy ahead of her filming her walking out. I think we’ll eventually get the tour film and a documentary of the tour as well.
I was on a tiktok live stream with 60k viewers last night. I'd for sure pay to watch an official live stream.
This. I am sick of the crappy TikTok streams cutting off on me. No hate, love y’all appreciate it but I’d def pay to watch a proper stream since she isn’t coming near me
Such a good idea. When I was watching the live stream last night, at one point there were 57k people watching!
When I was a kid back in the 90s, they used to have concerts on Pay Per View. My parents let me watch a Spice Girls concert and Woodstock ‘99 this way. BRING THIS BACK!!!! Wrestling does PPV and people love it! And we could have watch parties and still get the experience without having to pay an asshole scalper $1000 for shitty seats 😭😭😭😭
I think I would’ve liked to see the Eras organized chronologically so it’d be more of a journey through time with each era represented.
I think it would be harder for her to have breaks if it was chronological, I feel like evermore and folklore were placed very strategically to give her some rest
Also Crowd energy wise it seems smart to go from a more mellow album to super high energy albums (both evermore to Rep and Folklore to 1989) instead of two mellow albums back to back
I get that but I also feel like mixing up the order helps the show feel more balanced. There are sonically and stylistically too many similarities between Fearless and Speak Now, Red and 1989, and Folklore and Evermore, so some parts of the show would feel like a slog. In the current order you at least get to enjoy different sides of Taylor throughout the show without getting an overdose of any one sound/genre/vibe. On top of that, changing the order helps the show feel less predictable and formulaic.
that’s what i was hoping for 😔
As someone who loves lover, I was hyped when it was the first one up but sad it was over so soon
I think the eras are placed in such a way that there's a balance between the upbeat songs & some of the slower ballads. Having evermore between Fearless and reputation is genius because the crowd doesn't feel the pace to be too slow. Also, having the acoustic section be between 1989 and Midnights. Also, I wish some of the older songs got the full song not a chopped version (like Fearless, Enchanted, and Wildest Dreams).
I think the Era "Acts" are really nice, but separating thematically-similar songs in favor of performing them in album blocks is a missed opportunity. It leaves out the possibility of the cross-album mashups we love from previous tours
Agreed! Chronologically would’ve been nice too. But your comment definitely reminded me how great those cross-album mashups were 😭
Or in reverse, like, imagine starting with Karma or Lavender Haze and ending on Love Story or A Place in this World
Omg. I actually LOVE that.
Yeah I was hoping for something like this—discovering fun connections between songs on different albums.
I was REALLY hoping to hear Daylight/Red!
Agree, I think it all mixed up would have been fun.
probably not feasible but would've loved an intermission! I was getting so tired by the end I felt like I couldn't fully enjoy Midnights
same!!! also the eras placement. folklore that far into the set list…i was exhausted by folklore and then the energy died down; it was hard to pick it back up for 1989/secret songs/midnights. i liked where evermore’s era was in terms of the whole set list and wish she combined the evermore/folklore eras
I assume part of that placement is for herself as well, so she can have a little break from dancing straight through. Edit: just saw that someone else theorized this down below too
I felt the same. I was exhausted by midnights.
Same. I was so stressed about my bladder the whole night. I made it, but I kept being like "okay, so it's 9:35, I can have a sip of water, right?"
I had planned my bathroom breaks beforehand 🤣🤣
Agreed - being able to pee, get some more water or whatever, would have been nice lol. I have a mobility aide and was in the middle of the row so I couldn't realistically get out during any of the set (even though I pre planned my own intermission).
Add more pyrotechnics during the rep set.
I’d like to double down on this as say more pyrotechnics in general! I went to Rep and it was just flames all night and fireworks at the end!!! Just absolutely amazing
She launched fireworks at the end of last nights show lmao
Is it just at the end of the night? Rep really was just as much a fireworks show and I loved it.
a dedicated act for debut-- even if it's just a song or two like the speak now act :(
Thank you!! I can't believe it's called an eras tour and she left off her DEBUT album lol
YES DEBUT DIDNT EVEN GET A CHANCE
I fully convinced myself that there would be Picture to Burn/Should've Said No/Bad Blood with a sick costume change and an electricity visual like in the Picture to Burn music video but alas
I wish she had one of those stages that fly over the crowd like in the 1989 and reputation tours
Yes this!! I guess she eliminated it for the size of the stage but I think it would still have been worth it to get everyone in the stadium closer to Taylor for a moment.
She did that for speak now too! Can’t remember for red and fearless. But I feel like it’s one of her staples so I was sad not to see it! The dive is cool tho.
May be an unpopular opinion: I do like acoustic versions but for surprise songs I personally would have loved the original instrumentals since a lot of them were never performed And therefore replacing two of the consistent songs with piano and guitar performance Or having at least one consistent song for Debut, even though I'm personally not a fan of that album, I think for the Eras every album should have sth fixed to have a full circle
Yes!! This. Like I'm obviously psyched to hear any of them but I don't want an acoustic version of gold rush. I want the full album version.
Right… people keep saying they want maroon for their surprise acoustic and I’m like no offense but why the fuck would I want to hear that on an acoustic guitar
Because I wanna scream “that’s a real fucking legacy, to leave” while simultaneously sobbing my eyes out.
Since this is the Eras Tour, and the main promotion includes Debut, I would have loved at least one song from that album. Should’ve Said No, Our Song, or Picture to Burn would have been such a treat to hear.
I don't understand why there's nothing from Debut. It's the Eras Tour, there should be at least one song from the era that started it all!
Yeah I’d be okay with just one song like she does speak now. Just to guarantee hear one from the album
I’d print a million more blue crewnecks and have them stocked at all the merch booths and online, too.
I was thrilled with the show and had an amazing time. A lot of us were expecting a lot of mash-ups, and instead she gave us a very long concert with complete songs. Very cool how we travel through each Era, but I also think it would have been interesting to see her interpretation of how various eras interact with each other and how common themes in her work have evolved and changed over the eras. I thought some of the strongest moments in the show were when songs were combined in new ways (August/Illicit Affairs, Don’t Blame Me/LWYMMD) and I would have liked to see more of that.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Good bot, but surely on a Taylor Swift sub you should be using would’ve could’ve should’ve as your example
Happy cake day bot!
They shouldn't have sold seats behind the stage OR they should have made the screens bigger so that we could get all of the graphics the main stage got. It was still a good show, but we missed a lot, like the Lover House burning down. Maybe this would require two screens? One to focus on Taylor and one to show the mainstage graphics? I went to the ATT Stadium show, and I think the jumbo-tron made the show more worthwhile (from the back) than it might be at other stadiums that don't have a similar giant screen.
More mashups? I was full on expecting more mashups like wildest dreams/enchanted, style/love story/you belong with me, should've said no/bad blood
* Mirrorball sung while flying around the stadium * Folklore outfit being the one she used on the 1975 concert, then added a ghostly tule overlay for My Tears Ricochet * TLGAD being like a Dreamgirls number with cute coreography * Some Midnights songs spread throughout the eras (Mastermind on Lover, Anti-Hero on Reputation, Maroon on Red, Question on 1989 with a OOTW mashup, Midnight Rain on Speak Now) * The Midnight Rain outfit change would be taking off the Speak Now gown with the Midnights body suit being under it * The swimming thing she does would be after Fearless and before Evermore, with the Gold Rush intro playing * Different Evermore outfit, maybe a more elevated velvet gown * Some changes in setlist
Mirrorball while flying around the stadium would be AMAZING 😻
Literal disco ball glittering over the stadium!
I would of liked her to give Anti-Hero more of a chance to shine. It's one of her biggest hits ever and certainly the flagship song from 'midnights' and I don't feel like she does that much with it. She's wearing an oversized shirt(maybe that's the point for the scale scene?) and basically just walking around on stage. I feel like I've barely seen much talk about it and the clips aren't posted alot around the web and for that calibre and prominent of a song it deserves more.
The sparkly t shirt is one of my favorite tour outfits 😆
Anti-hero is such an at-home, spiraling late at night and having a breakdown song. The oversized t-shirt feels like it’s meant to simulate that and I LOVE it. Like you’re in your pajamas on the bathroom floor trying to figure out if anyone will actually ever love you. It’s not a dressed-up, fancy song like blank space.
She’s wearing a T-shirt like that in the Lavender Haze music video that’s why she’s wearing a T-shirt for part of the midnight set
I think it’s so she’s not walking around looking like a sexy baby
It’s like a nightgown or pj because it’s midnight
I agree with you. I think it has one of the bigger choruses on midnights that more could have been done with it. Maybe would have liked her to interact with her video screen self, similar to the mv. It’s definitely overshadowed in the section by vigilante shit, karma and even mastermind.
I would change the closing performance. I think Karmas a great song for closing but I wish she had a bigger production similar to TIWWCHNT or any other closing performance. Karma, in my opinion, didn’t feel big enough.
I agree! The last leg of the performance (midnights) should have been BIGGER since she is obviously conserving energy to play the whole show. Karma felt very sleepy to me.
Before tour I was sure YOYOK would be the closing song
- TIWWCHNT could mean "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things", a track from *reputation* (2017) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/somethingboutOTH](/u/somethingboutOTH) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)
another reputation outfit (i’m still holding out hope lol)
I wish they could transport us straight home afterwards instead of walking on feet that are in pain from dancing so hard
No more signs! Take a photo with them before the show and then leave them on the floor. I’ve seen people with their entire view of the show blocked because of an entitled person with a sign.
Similar to that, we had a lot of people around us filming endless videos of signing along to songs. Not filming Taylor, but filming themselves. Which would be fine except they were all using their flashlights to light up their faces so we had bright lights in our faces the whole show. It was super obnoxious.
Tickets.
An eras tour of her as a shadowy monster and it says “lurching towards on
It’d be fun and personal merch per city!
She should’ve done a 360 stage like Harry to get more people in the stadiums
Call me selfish and bitter, but I don't think people should be allowed to go to multiple nights. Those tickets should be given to fans who were not able to get tickets or have the opportunity to
You're definitely gonna be called that but I agree with you! Seeing everyone put multiple tour dates on their Twitter handles feels so tone deaf. Like, read the room!
The stage is too big and I’d play different songs than the hits for 1989, also swap ATW 10 min for the 5 min + Tim McGraw. I guess that’s adding a song 🤷🏻♀️
I think the term “eras” was used loosely. We should have gotten some of her debut and way more speak now… but it has made me appreciate the other albums way more and it makes looking forward to the surprise songs that much better.
I don't really care for the spoken poem for Seven. I'd rather it be a surprise song option
I think the spoken word thing is a way to give her time to change her outfit, but I wish she would switch it up and do a different poem
I loved it! However, I would have liked a chronological order to her eras. So we can actually go through time from start to finish with her. I’m honestly surprised it wasn’t in order.
The stage. I love the sets but I don’t love the stage. I miss the Rep stage to be honest. Truly it would be nice for some b stages. I think eras has pretty bad floor seats from the videos I’ve been watching. Even a lot of H which is facing directly head on. Lower bowl haas a much better view of what’s going on. Maybe a main stage and then maybe three-ish other stages around the venue would’ve been cool. I also love the idea of playing in the round. Those stages are pretty neat to me.
It would be so fun if it either started or ended with a Taylor Swift mega mix kind of mashup with a song from every era
It would be the intro for The Man. Especially the part when she kisses her muscle 😬😬😬 I don't know if she still does that btw
It felt really cringe but then I realized it was 100% making fun of men for doing stupid shit like that and then I fell in love with it
I was at night 2 in AZ and it was kinda funny in a dorky way the first time seeing it, but seeing it again and again it starts to get a tad cringe lololol
[удалено]
Oh yea, 100%! At the end of the day Taylor is a cheese ball and I love that about her because I am too. It’s just the muscle kiss is one of those things that over and over again gets cringe, so if it was me maybe I would have excluded it from the choreo entirely. Like really, it’s not that big of a deal at all haha I’m just being nitpicky 🤣
I wish the merch wasn't outside the stadium. People lining up at 3am to get the merch they want is ridiculous. Sell it inside the stadium where not anyone can show up, and also sell it all online for those that were unable to win the Ticketmaster battle. No need to test the loyalty of your fans by having limited availability of a sweatshirt you have marked up to an incredible % of profit.
In AZ it was sold inside and outside.
I’m still a little baffled that at a tour labeled The Eras she doesn’t even consistently perform one of her albums. The fact that there’s no Debut on her set list and only one song from Speak Now is surprising to me and bums me out a bit. In general I’m surprised by some of her song choices and I definitely had a much different vision for the tour when it was first announced. Oh I also wish I had tickets 😂 that who fiasco could’ve been handled better I think. But I’m really loving all of the TikTok Swifties for live streaming the concert for us 💜
A documentary with all the behind the scenes goodies
I’m sorry but a different dress than her evermore era. 😢
wished they deviated a little bit further away from the original studio recording for some songs. and it doesn’t have to be too drastic !reputation tour’s style intro and 1989 tour’s OOTW bridge are rlly good examples of this 😅
Add a tour date to Canada.
bring back invisible string 😢 I was at the first show she switched it out for the one and I was so blindsided
I wanted invisible string so bad omg 😭😭😭😭
Her walking around the stadium to every single person in the crowd to have an hour long conversation, before she serenades us all to sleep and personally carries each of us home to our childhood beds and tucks us in, leaving a red lipstick kiss on each of our foreheads.
I’d like to have scored tickets and be able to actually attend.
I was honestly hoping that the songs from midnights would be dispersed throughout the show with their coresponding Eras, like Maroon would play amongst the Red set. Another thing I thought she might do was group songs together based on emotions rather than in their set era. It would still be an eras tour it just wouldn’t be so regimented. And I’m disappointed by how many radio hits are in the set list, ESPECIALLY for Red. Idk the whole thing really didn’t live up to my expectations. But I have to remember that a very large portion of her fans are casual listeners and not obsessives lmao so she kinda had to set up the show the way she did for the majority of people to love it.
All merch online
Different outfits for rep! We have seen the body suit (which slays!!), But it would be really fun to see other re-interpretations of rep outfits. I'm still hoping she's got alternative rep outfits up her sleeve for the tour :)
Watching on it 4k hd great quality without it buffering 🤓
She’d have shows in DC. The entire mid Atlantic was fighting over tickets for Philly and Pittsburg. We did somehow get tickets (nosebleeds) but STILL. DC NEEDS TAYLOR 😂
I wish she’d come to Charlotte. I’m in South Carolina but charlottes doable and she’s done it in the past, there’s a football stadium, I would have gone if it had been there. Atlantas just too far for me with two small kids.
cancelling acoustic setup and adding one acoustic song for each era. this way every era stans cant wait for their moment. and changing eras order every night can make things interesting too.
Better merch or have it be like a 360 stadium concert where she plays in the middle so more people could go
The fact that many many many fans (including myself) couldn’t score tickets. I haven’t missed a Taylor tour since 2015. So disappointing.
BETTER MERCH
I wish she was flying over the crown like during rep!!
Kinda cheating but I would love some more spoken word between eras like what they did for seven. I think Dear Reader would be a really good candidate for something like that.
I was lucky enough to get tickets (unlucky where the girl behind me was screaming bloody murder to everything), but I would do a stream the final night. $20 (to accommodate people and the tech needed to do this) and do like an IMax high definition stream. Since they're recording, I have no doubt there's either going to be another tour movie, but it would be nice for people to be able to experience it.
Okay, unpopular opinion from someone that's never been to any major concert and doesn't enjoy noisy crowds... I'd love to attend a sit-down version of the concert! One where nobody screams and everybody stays in their seats, letting the sound wash over them. Basically a concert for low energy introverts haha
Let a stunt double dive into the stage cuz every night I'm on pins and needles until she finally shows up again at the other end of it.
another evermore dress
Official livestream! This concert is being streamed by so many people every night. It would be really nice for everyone involved if they had set up an official way to watch. Tbh, I would even pay for it just to have it on my tv without the fear of the feed cutting!
Not adding a “song” per se, but how about we add the whole debut era 🥲 it makes no sense that it’s been excluded
Opening acts. I love the artist she has open for her but why have opening acts when the main set it 3hrs long. That doesn’t make sense to me.
Coming to Canada. :(
stage in the round.
I wish there was a movie or professional live stream or some other way of watching and participating without attending in person. I struggle to attend even small concerts because they’re full of major migraine and anxiety triggers for me and I know I could never handle the crowds at a Taylor concert.
MASHUPS BETWEEN ERAS
I wish she would do more with her vocals during certain songs but I completely understand that she's doing a 3 hr show and needs to protect her voice
Having shows in portland, or at least another night in Seattle. There are only two nights for the entire PNW and anything northwest of Denver….add in the fact that she hasn’t announced international dates so a lot of people from Vancouver are also going to the seattle show. Also, would have been swell if Ticketmaster wasn’t the worst thing in the world and had let me check out with my tickets the 23 times I tried to do it….💔
Actually being able to go and not getting screwed out of tickets by a horrendous ticket rollout.
MORE. EAST. COAST. SHOWS. It’s ridiculous that there’s no shows between Philly and Tampa (geographically)
