Taylor Swift<\/strong> hit the stage Friday night for the first time in 3 years to kick off her much-anticipated ‘Eras Tour’ … and she blew the house down!!!<\/p>\n The iconic pop star was greeted by thousands of screaming fans at her sold-out show at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.<\/p>\n It was a HUGE moment for Taylor, whose last tour was derailed by the COVID pandemic after the release of her album, “Lover.”<\/p>\n Taylor addressed the issue about an hour into her performance, telling the crowd, \u201cIs it just me or do we have a lot of things to catch up on? It\u2019s been a really long time since I\u2019ve been on tour.”<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cI can\u2019t even go into how much I\u2019ve missed you…because there\u2019s no way to verbalize it.\u201d<\/p>\n At another point, Taylor admitted she was \u201creally overwhelmed, and trying to keep it together all night.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The emotional moments were just some of the many highlights during Taylor’s three-hour-plus performance in which she cranked out an eye-popping 44 songs from her 10 hit albums.<\/p>\n She played fan faves from her earliest to her latest records, such as \u201cYou Belong With Me,” \u201cShake It Off,” \u201cMiss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince,\u201d \u201cCruel Summer\u201d, Ready For It?,\u201d \u201cDelicate,” “Willow,” “Fearless,” “Enchanted” and “Midnight Rain.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of course, Taylor went through a number of wardrobe changes meant to reflect the many changes she’s gone through over the years. She had a bevy of dancers shimmying around her and riding “Tron”-esque light cycles as she belted out her tune, \u201cBlank Space.\u201d Taylor and Co. also channeled the famous Rockettes, throwing around high kicks during “22.”<\/p>\n The stage itself extended to the back of the stadium with an artistic set design that included a gold version of the cabin featured in her video for “cardigan.” There were also film images projected on a Jumbotron behind the stage.<\/p>\n Taylor’s definitely back in action. What a night!!<\/p>\n
