    Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, a completely new experience for the second time

    Taylor Swift kicked off the final American leg of her Eras Tour on Friday night in Indianapolis with a record-breaking crowd and plenty of sequins and glitter.

    While Indy may have skipped the first leg of the 19-month tour, Swift emphasized Friday night that she made the right decision by ending the American leg here.

    Eras Tour Indy Stop Guide: Taylor Swift is coming to Indianapolis: here are all the details you need to know

    “We decided we had to finish this tour in front of the most dedicated, passionate, beautiful, enthusiastic, excitable crowd,” Swift said at the top of her set list. “So we decided that the last American city of the Eras Tour would be here in Indianapolis, Indiana. And I can already say that we made the best decision possible.”

    This is what happened at Indy N1.

    The concert broke records

    Lucas Oil Stadium was filled with 69,000 fans on Friday, breaking the stadium’s concert attendance record, Swift said.

    “You know, they told me some news before we went on stage tonight,” he said before singing the 10-minute version of “All Too Well.” “I was told that tonight you went ahead and broke the all-time attendance record. for a concert in this stadium.”

    The crowd was noticeable, both in the long lines for bathrooms and merchandise before the concert and in the gridlocked traffic that lasted for hours after the concert.

    Post Malone wasn’t there, but Caitlin Clark was.

    No, that wasn’t Post Malone who emerged from the floor during “Fortnight,” contrary to the wishes of some screaming fans who initially mistook one of Swift’s dancers for Malone. Confusion has been common since “The Tortured Poets Department” joined the setlist.

    And no, neither Sabrina Carpenter nor Florence Welch joined Swift like they did on previous nights of the tour. Still, opening act Gracie Abrams was well received by the crowd.

    And there was another star present at Lucas Oil: Caitlin Clark. Indiana Fever’s biggest name was seen on the suite level speaking to fans and posted twice on his Instagram stories.

    “I am enthusiastic!!!!!!!!” Clark wrote on a photo of Abrams on Instagram. She later posted a photo of Swift singing “Enchanted,” her favorite Swift song.

    While Swift didn’t invite any surprise guests on stage, she did play surprise songs. He performed a medley of “The Albatross” from “The Tortured Poets Department” and “Holy Ground” from “Red (Taylor’s Version)” on guitar, before moving to the piano for a medley of “Cold As You” and “Exile.” . “on the piano.

    Previous rain causes technical difficulties

    Of course, we didn’t have a rain show with the Lucas Oil roof closed, but we did feel the effects of the previous rain shows on Friday night. Halfway through “Lavender Haze,” Swift had to ask for a replacement part mid-song while fiddling with her headset and microphone package. She continued singing as someone came on stage to help her.

    Then the lights went down before she returned to the stage for “Mastermind.”

    “I do a lot of shows in the rain and we never know when our equipment is going to break,” Swift told the crowd. “It could be that night, it could be a few shows later.”

    Indy will have a different show than the first leg in the United States

    For many Hoosiers who thought the Eras Tour would never come to Indianapolis, driving to Chicago or Cincinnati was the next best option in 2023. More than a year later, the show was an almost completely different experience on Friday night.

    Your song list now includes songs from their new album, “The Tortured Poets Department”, plus many new sets. Perhaps the biggest difference, however, was that the crowd seemed to know what to expect. With the release of the movie “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” and more than 100 shows already scheduled, many more people have already seen Swift’s concert than in the first leg in the United States.

    Everyone knew when she was going to sing “The Man” or that Swift was going to “throw herself” on the stage floor. That didn’t dampen the energy, as tens of thousands of Swifties blurted out nearly every word of the extensive song list, with many staying afterward to pick up individual pieces of confetti from the floor.
