Oh, L.A., you're making me feel excellent right now.

Come to think of it,

let me just try something.

Uh-oh. I mean, this...

This is getting dangerous.

This is about to start going to my head real fast.

I mean, you just made me feel so...

so powerful.

I mean,

you're making me feel...

like I get to play a sold-out show

at SoFi Stadium tonight.

I guess what I'm trying to say is

you're making me feel like I'm The Man.

It is

an honor and a delight to say these words to you.

Welcome to The Eras Tour.

I mean, look at you, though.

Like, look at what I get to play with tonight.

I get to sing with you, and dance with you,

and vibe with you,

and hang out with you all night. Look at you.

You know,

we get a good sense of a crowd in the first couple of songs.

We realize if it's going to be like a soulmate crowd situation,

and it feels so promising, I just have to tell you that.

It's looking so good.

So you and I,

we're about to go on a little adventure together.

And that adventure is going to span 17 years of music,

and it's going to be one era at a time.

How does that sound to you?

All right, so let me tell you

my secret little dream for this evening.

So these are songs

that I have written about my life

or things I felt at one point in time

whether I was a teenager, in my 20s, or a couple years ago,

but after tonight, when you hear these songs

out and about in the world,

my dream is that you're gonna think about tonight

and the memories we made here together at SoFi Stadium.

I'll be your host this evening.

My name is Taylor.

Thank you for traveling with us here at The Eras Tour.

You know, this... This tour,

the fact that this is

the last city on the U.S. tour...

It is...

It is so, so many things for me, because this has been

the most extraordinary experience of my entire life.

Being on this tour,

getting to share these moments with you.

I know you're supposed to, like, play it cool.

You're supposed to be like,

"Oh, I like you guys a little bit." But genuinely,

this has meant more to me than anything I've ever done

or been a part of in my life. This tour. So...

Ah.

And, you know, before this tour,

I would... I would go through this process

where I'd make an album,

and I'd call the album something like

Red or Speak Now or Fearless or, you know.

And then I'd go,

I'd put together a tour called the name of that album, right?

Like the 1989 tour, Speak Now tour.

And we'd do it like that.

And I remember like,

why am I just do... What is this...

Why?

Anyway, um, so with this tour...

I remember people would come up to me

and they'd be like, "So you've put out, like, five albums

"that you haven't done tours for.

"So what's your plan? Like, what are you going to do?

"You're going to just, like, do a show

"with, like, all the albums in it

"and it'll be like, what?

"Like, a three-and-a-half hour long show?"

And I was like, "Yeah, it's...

"it's going to be called The Eras Tour. See you there."

So we are currently in the evermore era,

and, um...

And that was my second pandemic album that I made.

And I remember there was... There was one specific song

where after I wrote it I thought, you know,

that would be a really cathartic experience,

I'm sure, to get to sing champagne problems

in a stadium, you know?

So let's do it.

♪ You booked the night train for a reason ♪

♪ So you could sit there in this hurt ♪

♪ Bustling crowds or silent sleepers ♪

♪ You're not sure which is worse ♪

And so, we have brought the folklore cabin to LA.

So, um, folklore is an album that I am extremely proud of,

and I started, uh...

Aw...

Aw... thanks.

I immediately was picturing

this album taking place in the woods,

in an imaginary cabin.

In my fantasy, in my imagination,

I am not

a lonely millennial woman covered in cat hair,

um...

watching 700 hours of TV a day.

In my imagination, I am like a...

like a woodsy Victorian lady

who is wandering through the forest,

holding, like, a candlestick holder-thing

and, like, you know, collecting feathers

to make my own quill to write on parchment paper.

It was a whole thing.

That was how I pictured myself when I was writing folklore.

And then I was like, you know, maybe

I should do some other things different on this album.

Maybe I should try creating characters

and having these characters

fall in love and break up and...

One of my favorite, um, characters that I created

is, uh, I call it the Teenage Love Triangle.

The catalyst character is this teenage boy named James,

and he

really screws things up with the love of his life,

and he has to apologize to her,

and try to make it right,

and long story short,

her name is Betty.

Welcome to the acoustic set!

When I dreamed up the idea of The Eras Tour,

I thought it would be really fun to sort of

go back through

all these different phases I've had musically,

because it's been...

I mean, it's been a little bit of everything.

You've been so kind to me in letting me explore genres,

and step outside boxes that are created for us

in the music industry.

And that's only because of you that I get to do that.

So, thank you...

because it's just so much fun.

It's just so much fun to get to play,

and to get to experiment,

and to get to grow as an artist.

But I did want to play a song

just to thank the people who liked me

when I was a little teenager writing songs

for my ninth grade talent show.

Welcome to the acoustic set!

So, when I was thinking about

the idea of this tour, and I was...

I was trying to figure out, uh,

what to do in certain parts of it, I thought,

"You know, if I'm going to call it The Eras Tour,

"and it's going to be sort of like a...

"Sort of a celebration of

"how supportive you've been of every phase of my career, right?"

Like, I've been putting out albums since I was 16,

and you've been really nice about all of it.

Um...

You can... There you go.

Yeah. A little... Yep, yep.

Um...

Give yourself some credit.

So, uh, I thought it might be kind of fun

to do a part of the show, where every night, it's different.

And... And then that would force me

to really go back through all of my songs,

and play maybe ones that I...

It would never occur to me to play live or I've never played them live before.

And so tonight,

we got one of the ones that I've never played live before.

for my ninth grade talent show.
