Drop Everything Now: Taylor Swift is Touring in 2023

Taylor Swift will return on her first tour in four years: ‘The Eras Tour.’ Taylor will hit 27 cities in the United States, from March till August, followed by international dates. Starting in Glendale, AZ, she will travel around the country performing songs from all of her albums, including her re-recordings. 

After releasing her 10th album ‘Midnights’ on October 21st, she teased that a tour would be coming some time soon. The album contains 13 new songs, with 7 additional songs on the ‘3 a.m. Edition.’ Following its release, Taylor claimed the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s 200 album chart, as well as the top 10 spots on the Billboard Hot 100. 

Although she just released this album, she will be playing music from past and present on tour. With her extremely lengthy discography, there is no idea what the setlist will be yet. People had been expecting her to begin touring again at some point soon since she has released so many albums recently. But many people are unsure of what exactly she will be playing at these shows. By calling it ‘The Eras Tour,’ we can assume that the tour will include a couple of her favorite songs from each of her albums.

Following along with her Reputation Tour, she will be playing stadiums. In Seattle, she will play Lumen Field, which can fit up to 72,000 people. She is scheduled to play in Seattle over summer vacation on July 22 and July 23, 2023. 

Coming along with her on tour are Paramore, HAIM, Phoebe Bridgers, beabadoobee, girl in red, MUNA, Gayle, Gracie Abrams, and OWENN. Each stop on the 27 city stadium tour will have at least two of the openers from this list. Seattle will have HAIM and Gracie Abrams as their openers. HAIM is an American band composed of three sisters: Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim. HAIM has previously been featured on Taylor Swift’s song ‘no body, no crime’ on her album evermore. Gracie Abrams recently opened for Olivia Rodrigo on her SOUR Tour last year. Her most notable song is ‘Feels Like’ off her most recent album This Is What It Feels Like.

The expected demand for these tickets is said to be overwhelming, as the post announcing the tour has over five million likes. While all the Swifties are ready to go to war for these tickets, it will be up to the fate of Ticketmaster over who gets chosen. Verified Fan Registration is open now to get an access code to buy tickets on November 18th at 10 a.m. Good luck to all those trying to get tickets, you’re gonna need it!

Elizabeth Williams is one of the Campus Correspondents for University of Washington’s Her Campus chapter. As a freshman she was a Writer, followed by being a Corresponding Editor for a year. In her hometown of Wilton, Connecticut she developed her love of writing in high school. Now as a junior at the University of Washington, she is pursuing a double major in Journalism and Psychology. Through her journalism classes she has covered a variety of topics about the environment, social media, and on-campus events. For Her Campus, she mainly writes about music, fashion, and college advice. She also just recently returned to campus from studying abroad in London! In her free time she loves reading (she read 25 books last year), doing hot yoga, and spending time with her roommates. If she’s not writing you can probably find her getting coffee or at a concert, most likely at Harry Styles’ Love on Tour or at Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour. If you have read some of her articles, you can probably tell that her greatest achievements are getting tickets to concerts (a certified skill) and predicting the outcome of reality tv shows.
