Ever since Taylor Swift announced The Eras Tour back in November, fans have had a lot of questions. The biggest one: With six albums released since her Reputation Tour back in 2018, how could she possibly do each project justice in a limited setlist?
Well, after she kicked off the first two tour dates on Friday and Saturday in Glendale, Ariz. — or Swift City, ERAzona, as it was ceremonially renamed — we discovered that the setlist wasn’t so limited after all. Over the course of the three-hour-plus concert, Swift performs all or portions of 44 songs.

Taylor Swift‘s The Eras Tour is finally here, and with the kickoff comes a whole set of photos from her first tour in five years.
The “Mastermind” opened her tour Friday night (March 17) at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., at the first of two concerts at the venue. “Tonight, we’re going to be going on an adventure, one era at a time!” Swift announced a few songs into the show.
Photos from the show feature moments from Swift’s staggering 44-song setlist. She treated fans to music from every one of her eras so far, from her self-titled debut through Midnights, and brought to life beautifully staged visuals to go along with songs from each of her 10 full-length studio albums. Swift described herself as “really overwhelmed, and trying to keep it together all night,” but pulled off a spectacular three-hour-and-15-minute concert — backed by her crew of talented touring musicians and dancers — in front of thousands of fans, seemingly with ease.
The first set of photos from The Eras Tour capture the trek’s memorable beginning and the star’s connection with her ever-supportive Swifties. Swift is seen giving it her all as she performs songs from Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore and Midnights — debuting many tracks from her latest releases live on tour for the first time, in sparkling bodysuits and gowns that don’t disappoint.
Take a look at some of the highlights of Swift’s show, which included stunning sets and an impressive number of quick costume changes, in these Eras Tour photos.
