Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour moved back inside on Friday night (June 9), playing the first of two concerts at Detroit’s Ford Field, which has been hosting Swift’s home in the Motor City since 2011. A crowd of nearly 59,300 — including a significant number of travelers to the show — gave Swift a thunderous welcome […]

For the third and final night of Taylor Swift’s Chicago outing — which took over Soldier Field and the surrounding South Loop area — the superstar pulled out all the stops.
On her first night in the Windy City, Swift celebrated the start of Pride month by sharing a special, and urgent, message to the sold-out stadium. “I’m looking out tonight, I’m seeing so many incredible individuals who are living authentically and beautifully and this is a safe space for you,” Swift said “This is a celebratory space for you.”
“One of the things that makes me feel so prideful is getting to be with you, and watching you interact with each other, and being so loving, and so thoughtful, and so caring,” she continued, later adding, “I wish that every place was safe and beautiful for people in the LGBTQ community.”
For her second night, she welcomed country star Maren Morris to the stage for one of her surprise songs, the live debut of “You All Over Me,” a From The Vault track included on Fearless (Taylor’s Version). Following the long-awaited moment, Morris posted a black and white photo of the pair on Instagram, writing: “We finally got to play ‘You All Over Me’ and I won’t ever be shutting up about it. Love you Taylor Swift and love you always, Chicago.”
As for the third night (Sunday June 5), two opening acts the city had yet to see took to the stage: Gracie Abrams and MUNA (lead vocalist Katie Gavin, who is from the Chicago suburbs, noted the specialness of a hometown show). And while Swift’s set featured minor hiccups — from a mic malfunction to a surprise mid-set snack (the accidental swallowing of a bug) — Swift handled such moments with humor and grace, only making them that much more memorable. And proving that even a superstar like Swift, who can perform to tens of thousands of fans night after night, is also, somehow, still relatable.
Below are the seven best moments from her Chicago finale, of which Swift said: “When we have three in a row, there’s always a special reserve of energy we are saving for the third night… this is it.”
The Humorous Mishaps
Taylor Swift was looking out for her fans on Saturday (May 13) during night two of her Eras Tour stop at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. The 33-year-old pop superstar stopped mid-performance during a shortened version of “Bad Blood” to seemingly call out a security guard. As seen in a fan-captured video, Swift noticeably lingered near […]
Taylor Swift spotted some special guests in the crowd during her Eras Tour concert in Philadelphia on Friday (May 12). While performing “All Too Well at Philly’s Lincoln Financial Field, the 33-year-old pop superstar paused to give a sweet shout-out to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ daughters James, 8, and Inez, 6. “Hi James, hi […]
Matty Healy was seen in attendance at Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour concert in Nashville on Friday (May 5), sparking further speculation that the two music stars are romantically involved.
Earlier in the week, rumors surfaced that the The 1975 frontman and pop superstar are “massively proud and excited about this relationship,” according to a source cited by The Sun. The report, published Wednesday (May 3), follows news of Swift’s split from her longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn in early April.
On Friday night, Healy was photographed watching Swift perform her first of three sold-out concerts at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium as part of her ongoing Eras Tour. During her performance of “Cardigan,” fans were quick to spot Swift mouthing the same words to that Healy was filmed saying before The 1975’s performance of “About You” in Manila on May 3.
“This one is about you. You know who you are. I love you,” the artists mouthed to the crowd on the separate occasions.
Swift and Healy have been longtime friends, with the 12-time Grammy winner surprising fans during The 1975’s concert at the O2 Arena in London in January by covering the band’s “The City” and performing “Anti-Hero” for the first time.
Neither Swift nor Healy have spoken out publicly about the situation.

Taylor Swift continued her history-making Eras Tour on Friday night (March 31), kicking off three shows through Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
Though fans and media who caught the tour at its first stop in Glendale, Ariz., and subsequent shows in Las Vegas have already revealed key details about the extensive 3 hour and 15 minute set list, elaborate costumes, and more, Friday’s concert held some special surprise moments for Swifties.
Leading up to the night, local news outlets made a slew of announcements that urged citizens to beware of Eras Tour-induced traffic jams and parking issues in Arlington, which sits right in between Dallas and Fort Worth and boasts most of the metroplex’s major amusements, including Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas and the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium — where Swift performed — but many concertgoers seemingly avoided the regular rush by arriving early, planting themselves in line for merchandise and entrance to the concert.
So what made Swift’s first Arlington show stand out from the previous Eras shows? Read below for some brand-new moments from the Friday night concert.
Self-Titled Debut Skipped on Night 1
One of the notable changes in Swift’s evolving Eras Tour setlist on Friday was the omission of songs from Taylor Swift on night 1 in Arlington. In the opening night of each of the previous weekends so far, one song from her self-titled project made it into the acoustic portion of her show. The first night in Glendale, she played her debut single “Tim McGraw,” and night 1 in Las Vegas, she played crowd favorite “Our Song.”
Three Songs Get Their Eras Tour Debut
After playing “The 1” — a swap-out for her usual Folklore opener “Invisible String” — Swift admitted, “You know, I’ve never played that song live before,” making its performance both a debut on the Eras Tour setlist and a live debut in general.
She also worked in “Sad Beautiful Tragic” from Red to the setlist during her acoustic portion. Strumming it on just an acoustic guitar, she introduced the song saying, “I love this one. When I love a song, I don’t care what anyone says.”
To follow it up, Swift moved over to an upright piano at the end of the stage and began playing “Ours” from Speak Now. Another surprise for fans: “Ours” became the second Speak Now cut to make it onto the setlist, the first being “Enchanted,” which has been played every night of the tour so far.
MUNA Joins as an Opening Act
Los Angeles-based trio MUNA joined the Eras Tour on Friday for their first performance, following fellow opener GAYLE. Comprised of Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin and Naomi McPherson, the Saddest Factory-signed band made full use of the stage, parading up and down the catwalk while performing a number of songs from their 2022 self-titled album. “They’re all over every playlist of mine,” Swift said of MUNA in a break after singing “Lover.” “They absolutely killed it.”
Swift Says to Expect the Unexpected
After surprising the crowd with her first-ever performance of “The 1,” Swift grabbed the mic, smiling as she teased her fans: “You think you can just scroll the setlist? You think you can just come prepared? Let it be said about The Eras Tour … there’s high jinks.” The taunt may not just be a reference to the Arlington set and could be an overall message for the rest of the U.S. stadium tour.

It’s nice to have a friend, and Taylor Swift has plenty of famous pals that have been supporting her on her massive The Eras tour, which kicked off on March 17 in Glendale, Ariz.
Besides friends like HAIM, Laura Dern, Emma Stone and Shania Twain watching from the crowd and singing along to every word, Swift also surprised fans with onstage appearances. Despite telling fans during night one at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium that “we don’t have guests at this show,” the pop superstar invited the Mumford & Sons frontman for her debut live performance of “Cowboy Like Me,” from Swift’s chart-topping 2020 album, Evermore.
See below for all the celebrities who have made appearances at Swift’s The Eras tour stops, either in the audience or on stage, which we’ll be updating as the 12-time Grammy winner makes her way across the continent.

Marcus Mumford
The Mumford and Sons frontman joined his longtime friend Swift onstage to perform Evermore‘s “Cowboy Like Me” in Las Vegas.
“Last night in Vegas Marcus Mumford showed up and surprised the crowd with ‘Cowboy Like Me’ so like [mind blown emojis],” Swift captioned a photo of the moment on Instagram. See the post here.

Like Stone, Moretz was loving the “Love Story” part of the show in Las Vegas.
Emma Stone
The Harry Potter star was seen having the time of her life with Este Haim, dancing during the Vegas tour stop.

Shania Twain
Shania Twain is all about the girl power, and the “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” superstar had the time of her life dancing to the 1989 single “Blank Space” in Vegas. “What a show,” she wrote on Instagram.
Laura Dern
After taking her family to opening night of The Eras tour, Swift’s “Bejeweled” co-star took to Instagram to share a snap smiling with the superstar. “Celebrating our amazing buddy’s first show of tour. Extraordinary. Found family,” she captioned the post, which you can see here.
Emma Roberts
Yes, yet another Emma was at The Eras’ Vegas stop, as she was spotted taking videos and dancing with sunglasses on to the tune of “Style.”
Watch here.
Ellen Pompeo
Another “Blank Space” fan is Ellen Pompeo’s daughter Sienna, who starred in her mother’s Instagram Stories singing along to the track in Las Vegas.
Arlington, Texas, is pulling out all the stops for Taylor Swift‘s upcoming concerts this weekend. In celebration of the the trio of Eras Tour shows coming to AT&T Stadium March 31-April 2, the city is welcoming Swifties with a number of fun attractions and events, from a new street called “Taylor Swift Way” to a Tay-themed pet adoption spree.
A sneak peek at the Eras Tour preparations was posted to Arlington’s official Twitter account, showing off photos of the “Taylor Swift Way” street sign, light-up star posts lit red in celebration of Swift’s signature color, and a key to the city dedicated to the “Anti-Hero” singer.
“Arlington is ‘Enchanted’ to welcome Taylor Swift to @ATTStadium for The Eras Tour and has put together some fun ways for our Swifties to celebrate the singer’s 5th visit to The #AmericanDreamCity,” the city’s tweet read.
In a press release, Arlington officially put its cowboy hat in the ring to compete for the title of Swift’s biggest fan city, a “friendly competition” between Glendale, Ariz., which temporarily renamed itself to Swift City ahead of the pop star’s kickoff concerts in State Farm Stadium, and Las Vegas, which lit its Gateway Arches with colors corresponding to each of the Grammy winner’s 10 albums before her shows at Allegiant Stadium.
“Didn’t snag tickets to one of the shows?” added the release. “Arlington Animal Services hopes to help mourning Swifties ‘Shake It Off’ with an adoption special honoring the famous cat-mom. Residents can adopt a new best friend for $40, in honor of Swift’s 40 Top 10 Hits, during The Eras Adoption Special. VIP pets have a $9 adoption fee in honor of Swift’s 9 No. 1 Hits.”
