Taylor Swift has had her fair share of haters over the years, but even they can’t deny her Eras Tour has been the hottest ticket since it kicked off in March 2023. And while anticipation and speculation went into overdrive, Taylor delivered on the hype with a three-and-a-half-hour concert that spanned her 17-year musical history in cities throughout the United States before taking her tour internationally. Swifties were so excited about the show that many complained of not being able to remember it afterward. Concertgoer Nicole Booz told Time it felt like “an out-of-body experience, as though it didn’t really happen to me. Yet I know it did because my bank account took a $950 hit to cover the ticket.” In this 100-page special commemorative issue, we look at every aspect of Taylor’s Eras Tour, from how she prepped during rehearsals, to her opening night, to all the special guests who have joined her on stage. We dive into each of the 10 eras featured in her concert, with more than 100 photos, and info about the songs, sets, and all of Taylor’s designer outfits, as well as the special moments—some funny, some emotional—that fans will remember forever. Whether you were there in the audience or are looking forward to Taylor coming to a city near you, this is one keepsake magazine all Swifties need to have in their collection.
