The Eras Tour is the ongoing sixth headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It is Swift's first after she cancelled a planned concert tour in support of her seventh studio album, Lover (2019), due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She described the Eras Tour as a journey through all of her "musical eras" and embarked on it to support all of her albums, including her latest, Midnights (2022), and three which did not have a corresponding tour: Lover, Folklore (2020), and Evermore (2020). It is Swift's second all-stadium tour after the 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour.
The U.S. leg commenced on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, and is set to end on August 9, 2023, in Inglewood, California. An Eras Tour show lasts for over three hours; the set list consists of 44 songs divided into 10 acts which rely on worldbuilding using specific props, fashion, and aesthetics to each conceptually portray Swift's studio albums and their associated "eras".
The tour received unanimous critical acclaim, with emphasis on the concept, production, and Swift's musicianship, vocals, charisma, stamina, and versatility as an entertainer. Met with an unprecedented demand for tickets, the Eras Tour had 3.5 million people register to Ticketmaster's presale program for the U.S. leg. Although the platform's website crashed immediately after the presale commenced on November 15, 2022, over 2.4 million tickets to the tour were sold that day, breaking the record for the most concert tickets sold by an artist in a single day. Nevertheless, Ticketmaster received widespread public criticism and political scrutiny for the debacle in addition to allegations of monopoly within the concert business.
