Taylor Swift to Bring Eras Tour to Stadiums Next Year (The New York Times)

The singer-songwriter described her planned concerts as “a journey through all of my musical eras of my career.”

She had planned a series of stadium shows and international festival dates in 2020, connected to her album “Lover,” but those were canceled amid the pandemic. [appearance](https://www.yahoo.com/gma/taylor-swift-announces-eras-tour-081122041.html) on “Good Morning America” as “a journey through all of my musical eras of my career” — solves one [potential problem](https://www.wsj.com/articles/taylor-swift-midnights-new-music-tour-11666353460) that had been facing Swift: picking what parts of her rapidly growing catalog to focus on. The Eras Tour will play stadiums across the United States through next August, with international dates to be announced. “Midnights” is her 10th studio album, and the last couple of years have been extraordinarily productive for her, with two indie-folk-style LPs recorded in the early stages of the pandemic (“Folklore” and “Evermore”) and two rerecorded versions of old albums (“Fearless” and “Red”). [blockbuster success](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/31/arts/music/taylor-swift-midnights-billboard-chart.html) of her latest album, “Midnights,” which sold over a million copies in its first week out and took over the entire Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, Swift said on Tuesday that she would be going on the road, starting in March. The singer-songwriter described her planned concerts as “a journey through all of my musical eras of my career.”

4 tips for scoring tickets to Taylor Swift's 'Eras' concert in Nashville (The Tennessean)

Taylor Swift in Nashville? Yes, it's a thing. Let's talk tickets. Here are a few tips for snagging Swift tickets to 'Eras' concert.

The tour may adopt dynamic pricing for tickets, a polarizing algorithm-controlled strategy that adjusts cost in real-time based on demand - similar to hotel rooms or airline seats. This process helps Ticketmaster provide "the best opportunity to get more tickets into the hands of fans who want to attend the show and keep tickets away from bots. These ticket-buyers can enter the pre-sale by verifying membership status via the last six digits of a Capitol One card, which also needs to be used during the purchasing process. This isn't the same as the waiting room for buying tickets - that opens minutes before a given on-sale. Due to demand, you may need to wait in a "virtual" line to register. 9, fans wanting tickets to Swift should register to become a Ticketmaster "verified fan" via ticketmaster.com. Those who register for verification gain access to a pre-sale window later this month (more on that in a moment). Called "Eras," the show promises to take audiences through a journey of "past and present" Swift canon. Placed in a waiting room on the verification page? 15 at 10 a.m. Remember: A lot of people want tickets to these shows. Swift returns May 6, 2023, for a one-night show in the city that helped launch her once-in-a-generation career.

How Taylor Swift went back to the past and turned 'Midnights' into ... (CNBC)

Taylor Swift's new album "Midnights" is breaking single, streaming and vinyl records. The pop music star planned it this way.

The upcoming tour, by name, is intended to highlight all the different eras throughout her career rather than "Midnights" alone. Her absence came as a big shock to fans, who as far back as the release of "1989," were accustomed to Swift logging on to Tumblr every night to interact with her fans. She is as truthful a storyteller and creative artist, as she is an authentic person with respect to the way that she engages with her fans. Experimenting with an atmospheric synth-pop style with hints of R&B, "Midnights" marks the revival of Swift's catchy, pop-style songwriting that she deviated away from over recent years. In her acceptance speech for Video of the Year award for "All Too Well (10 minute version) (Taylor's version) (from The Vault,)" at the VMAs in August, Swift surprised the world by announcing that she was releasing her brand new album "Midnights" on Oct. But with "Midnights," she's back to her comfort zone of pop. Swift's announcement of "Midnights" led to a change in this lower profile social media stance. I think that she's proven that over and over and over again," said New York University Steinhardt's director of music business program Larry Miller. ["Fearless (Taylor's Version)"](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/11/taylor-swift-rerecorded-fearless-releasing-love-story-at-midnight.html) released in April 2021 and ["Red (Taylor's Version)"](https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/11/12/taylor-swift-re-releases-red-album.html) in Nov. When the "Reputation" era began, Swift gradually began posting again, but the social media presence she once maintained was much smaller in scope. Last fall, "Red (Taylor's Version)" reached 90.8 million streams within its release day and broke Spotify's record for the most-streamed album in a day by a female artist. Five years ago, Swift's "Reputation" achieved the biggest ever U.S.

Taylor Swift makes music history, snagging all Billboard Top 10 spots (The Washington Post)

Midnights” turned Swift into the first artist to snag every one of the top 10 slots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, all with songs from the 13-song album.

Out of those, over 500,000 came from vinyl sales, representing the single-largest sales week for an album since Luminate began tracking music sales in 1991. 21, [Spotify crashed](https://www.tmz.com/2022/10/21/taylor-swift-album-release-spotify-crashes-midnight/) as fans flooded the app to take a first listen to the new album. “What Taylor Swift has accomplished in this era, where there are north of 70,000 new tracks released every single day, is an enormous accomplishment,” Miller said.

In addition to the album, Taylor Swift had promised her fans a 3 AM surprise, and—three hours after the album dropped—seven additional tracks from the Midnights session were released: “The Great War”, “Bigger Than the Whole Sky”, “Paris”, “High Infidelity”, “Glitch”, “Would’ve. [“Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve”.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-MfwP_RmHY) Placed strategically as track 19 on the extended edition of the album, it is one of Taylor Swift’s darkest and rawest confessional pieces. The song alludes to dancing with the devil at 19, leading fans to connect this song with Speak Now’s “Dear John”, written from the perspective of a 19-year-old teen and ostensibly referring to John Mayer, who was 32 at the time he was in a relationship with a 19-year-old Swift. [“Snow on the Beach”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycE7bUq3-2k) a let-down given its quiet beauty and arresting imagery on the experience of falling for someone else: “I’ve never seen someone lit from within / Blurring out my periphery.

[“You’re on You’re Own, Kid”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gbg6Z70J7E) presents battle-scarred advice to a younger self. “Anti-Hero” is the musical and emotional heart of this album. Swift wrestles with the tension between the euphoria of love within a relationship (the so-called “lavender haze”) and the patriarchal gender expectations that reduce adult women to either “…one night or a wife”. Swift has an ear for the strengths and limitations of her voice, and she utilizes them to powerful effect within this album. Taylor Swift is a gifted wordsmith adept at the art of pop hooks, and she and producer and collaborator Jack Antonoff are masterful in pop structure and tools. [“Lavender Haze”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkR_Qwix4Ho), kicks off with a hazy, drum-machine club beat while Swift asks us to “meet [her] at midnight”. Even within “Mastermind”, Swift tips her hand in the direction of this dialectic.
