1
00:01:33,541 --> 00:01:37,666
My name is Taylor
and I was born in 1989.
2
00:02:50,916 --> 00:02:52,291
Oh, hi!
3
00:04:31,250 --> 00:04:34,291
All right, Los Angeles,
we have arrived...
4
00:04:35,875 --> 00:04:38,416
...at the very first bridge
of the evening.
5
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:41,333
Now, I have a question.
6
00:04:41,416 --> 00:04:44,541
Does anyone here know
the lyrics to this bridge?
7
00:04:44,625 --> 00:04:47,083
- Prove it!
8
00:07:20,250 --> 00:07:23,750
Oh, L.A., you're making me
feel excellent right now.
9
00:07:33,625 --> 00:07:36,416
Come to think of it,
10
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:38,833
let me just try something.
11
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:01,750
Uh-oh. I mean, this...
12
00:08:01,833 --> 00:08:03,333
This is getting dangerous.
13
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:06,166
This is about to start going
to my head real fast.
14
00:08:06,250 --> 00:08:08,666
I mean,
you just made me feel so...
15
00:08:10,833 --> 00:08:12,958
so powerful.
16
00:08:40,625 --> 00:08:42,416
I mean,
17
00:08:43,041 --> 00:08:45,875
you're making me feel...
18
00:08:45,958 --> 00:08:48,458
like I get to play a sold-out show
19
00:08:48,541 --> 00:08:50,083
at SoFi Stadium tonight.
20
00:09:11,875 --> 00:09:13,178
I guess what I'm trying to say is
21
00:09:13,208 --> 00:09:14,833
you're making me feel like
I'm The Man.
22
00:13:58,750 --> 00:14:01,083
Let me see your hands!
23
00:14:49,458 --> 00:14:51,000
It is
24
00:14:51,083 --> 00:14:54,625
an honor and a delight
to say these words to you.
25
00:14:54,708 --> 00:14:57,125
Welcome to The Eras Tour.
26
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,875
I mean, look at you, though.
27
00:15:08,958 --> 00:15:11,250
Like, look at what I get
to play with tonight.
28
00:15:11,333 --> 00:15:13,833
I get to sing with you,
and dance with you,
29
00:15:13,916 --> 00:15:15,083
and vibe with you,
30
00:15:15,166 --> 00:15:17,291
and hang out with you
all night. Look at you.
31
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:19,375
- You know,
32
00:15:20,125 --> 00:15:23,750
we get a good sense of a crowd
in the first couple of songs.
33
00:15:23,833 --> 00:15:27,083
We realize if it's going to be
like a soulmate crowd situation,
34
00:15:27,166 --> 00:15:29,916
and it feels so promising,
I just have to tell you that.
35
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,708
It's looking so good.
36
00:15:38,583 --> 00:15:39,791
So you and I,
37
00:15:39,875 --> 00:15:42,166
we're about to go on
a little adventure together.
38
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:45,708
And that adventure is going
to span 17 years of music,
39
00:15:45,791 --> 00:15:49,125
and it's going to be
one era at a time.
40
00:15:49,208 --> 00:15:52,416
- How does that sound to you?
41
00:15:56,333 --> 00:15:57,470
All right, so let me tell you
42
00:15:57,500 --> 00:15:59,666
my secret little dream for this evening.
43
00:15:59,750 --> 00:16:01,708
So these are songs
44
00:16:01,791 --> 00:16:04,208
that I have written about my life
45
00:16:04,291 --> 00:16:06,250
or things I felt at one point in time
46
00:16:06,333 --> 00:16:09,916
whether I was a teenager,
in my 20s, or a couple years ago,
47
00:16:10,541 --> 00:16:12,333
but after tonight,
when you hear these songs
48
00:16:12,416 --> 00:16:13,708
out and about in the world,
49
00:16:13,791 --> 00:16:17,166
my dream is that you're gonna
think about tonight
50
00:16:17,250 --> 00:16:19,916
and the memories we made
here together at SoFi Stadium.
51
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:22,750
I'll be your host this evening.
52
00:16:22,833 --> 00:16:23,875
My name is Taylor.
53
00:16:23,958 --> 00:16:26,416
Thank you for traveling
with us here at The Eras Tour.
54
00:26:48,791 --> 00:26:49,845
All right, L.A., are you ready
55
00:26:49,875 --> 00:26:51,625
to go back to high school with me?
56
00:42:53,458 --> 00:42:57,458
You know, this... This tour,
57
00:42:57,541 --> 00:42:58,750
the fact that this is
58
00:42:58,833 --> 00:43:02,125
the last city
on the U.S. tour...
59
00:43:02,208 --> 00:43:04,583
It is...
60
00:43:04,666 --> 00:43:07,333
It is so, so many things
for me, because this has been
61
00:43:07,416 --> 00:43:10,791
the most extraordinary
experience of my entire life.
62
00:43:10,875 --> 00:43:12,083
Being on this tour,
63
00:43:12,166 --> 00:43:14,291
getting to share these moments
with you.
64
00:43:17,583 --> 00:43:19,383
I know you're supposed to,
like, play it cool.
65
00:43:19,458 --> 00:43:20,511
You're supposed to be like,
66
00:43:20,541 --> 00:43:22,625
"Oh, I like you guys a little bit."
But genuinely,
67
00:43:22,708 --> 00:43:25,208
this has meant more to me
than anything I've ever done
68
00:43:25,291 --> 00:43:29,291
or been a part of in my life.
This tour. So...
69
00:43:37,875 --> 00:43:38,875
Ah.
70
00:43:38,958 --> 00:43:40,916
And, you know, before this tour,
71
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,680
I would... I would go through this process
72
00:43:42,750 --> 00:43:44,375
where I'd make an album,
73
00:43:44,458 --> 00:43:46,458
and I'd call the album something like
74
00:43:46,541 --> 00:43:49,833
Red or Speak Now or Fearless
or, you know.
75
00:43:49,916 --> 00:43:51,000
And then I'd go,
76
00:43:51,083 --> 00:43:54,333
I'd put together a tour called
the name of that album, right?
77
00:43:54,416 --> 00:43:56,666
Like the 1989 tour, Speak Now tour.
78
00:43:56,750 --> 00:43:58,416
And we'd do it like that.
79
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:00,500
And I remember like,
80
00:44:00,583 --> 00:44:03,875
why am I just do... What is this...
81
00:44:03,958 --> 00:44:06,750
- Why?
82
00:44:06,833 --> 00:44:10,333
Anyway, um,
so with this tour...
83
00:44:10,416 --> 00:44:11,720
...I remember people would come up to me
84
00:44:11,750 --> 00:44:14,291
and they'd be like,
"So you've put out, like, five albums
85
00:44:14,375 --> 00:44:15,636
"that you haven't done tours for.
86
00:44:15,666 --> 00:44:17,636
"So what's your plan? Like,
what are you going to do?
87
00:44:17,666 --> 00:44:19,916
"You're going to just, like, do a show
88
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,166
"with, like, all the albums in it
89
00:44:22,250 --> 00:44:23,250
"and it'll be like, what?
90
00:44:23,333 --> 00:44:25,583
"Like, a three-and-a-half
hour long show?"
91
00:44:35,125 --> 00:44:36,375
And I was like, "Yeah, it's...
92
00:44:36,458 --> 00:44:39,791
"it's going to be called
The Eras Tour. See you there."
93
00:44:45,083 --> 00:44:50,000
So we are currently
in the evermore era,
94
00:44:50,083 --> 00:44:53,166
- and, um...
95
00:44:54,833 --> 00:44:57,541
And that was my second
pandemic album that I made.
96
00:44:57,625 --> 00:45:02,833
And I remember there was...
There was one specific song
97
00:45:02,916 --> 00:45:06,000
where after I wrote it
I thought, you know,
98
00:45:06,083 --> 00:45:08,916
that would be
a really cathartic experience,
99
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,375
I'm sure, to get
to sing champagne problems
100
00:45:12,458 --> 00:45:17,833
- in a stadium, you know?
101
00:45:17,916 --> 00:45:18,916
So let's do it.
102
00:50:19,250 --> 00:50:21,458
That's a very generous thing
to do for somebody.
103
00:50:21,541 --> 00:50:23,791
Thank you so much.
104
00:50:23,875 --> 00:50:25,166
Ah.
105
00:59:13,333 --> 00:59:15,791
One, two, three!
106
01:30:10,750 --> 01:30:13,750
L.A., are you enjoying
the Red era so far?
107
01:30:20,416 --> 01:30:21,791
Oh, good. I'm glad to hear it,
108
01:30:21,875 --> 01:30:23,958
'cause there...
There is one more song
109
01:30:24,041 --> 01:30:27,708
that I was wanting to play you
from the Red album...
110
01:30:27,791 --> 01:30:29,666
- Um...
111
01:30:32,625 --> 01:30:34,958
If you happen to have
about 10 minutes to spare?
112
01:44:18,750 --> 01:44:22,333
And so, we have brought
the folklore cabin to LA.
113
01:44:28,083 --> 01:44:32,166
So, um, folklore is an album
that I am extremely proud of,
114
01:44:32,250 --> 01:44:35,166
- and I started, uh...
115
01:44:35,250 --> 01:44:36,708
Aw...
116
01:44:36,791 --> 01:44:39,833
- Aw... thanks.
117
01:44:41,250 --> 01:44:43,125
I immediately was picturing
118
01:44:43,208 --> 01:44:46,666
this album taking place in the woods,
119
01:44:46,750 --> 01:44:48,458
in an imaginary cabin.
120
01:44:49,083 --> 01:44:51,458
In my fantasy, in my imagination,
121
01:44:51,541 --> 01:44:53,416
I am not
122
01:44:53,500 --> 01:44:56,625
a lonely millennial woman
covered in cat hair,
123
01:44:56,708 --> 01:44:57,875
- um...
124
01:44:57,958 --> 01:45:00,291
...watching 700 hours of TV a day.
125
01:45:00,375 --> 01:45:04,458
In my imagination, I am like a...
126
01:45:04,541 --> 01:45:06,583
like a woodsy Victorian lady
127
01:45:06,666 --> 01:45:09,458
who is wandering through the forest,
128
01:45:09,541 --> 01:45:13,541
holding, like, a candlestick holder-thing
129
01:45:13,625 --> 01:45:16,666
and, like, you know, collecting feathers
130
01:45:16,750 --> 01:45:20,083
to make my own quill
to write on parchment paper.
131
01:45:20,166 --> 01:45:21,166
It was a whole thing.
132
01:45:21,250 --> 01:45:23,791
That was how I pictured myself
when I was writing folklore.
133
01:45:23,875 --> 01:45:25,416
And then I was like, you know, maybe
134
01:45:25,500 --> 01:45:27,303
I should do some other things
different on this album.
135
01:45:27,333 --> 01:45:29,875
Maybe I should try creating characters
136
01:45:29,958 --> 01:45:31,791
and having these characters
137
01:45:31,875 --> 01:45:34,333
fall in love and break up and...
138
01:45:36,625 --> 01:45:40,208
One of my favorite, um,
characters that I created
139
01:45:41,583 --> 01:45:44,541
is, uh, I call it
the Teenage Love Triangle.
140
01:45:48,500 --> 01:45:51,791
The catalyst character is
this teenage boy named James,
141
01:45:53,625 --> 01:45:55,000
and he
142
01:45:55,833 --> 01:45:59,458
really screws things up
with the love of his life,
143
01:45:59,541 --> 01:46:01,208
and he has to apologize to her,
144
01:46:01,750 --> 01:46:02,833
and try to make it right,
145
01:46:03,875 --> 01:46:05,333
and long story short,
146
01:46:06,500 --> 01:46:08,750
- her name is Betty.
147
02:23:56,208 --> 02:23:58,791
Welcome to the acoustic set!
148
02:24:03,000 --> 02:24:05,625
When I dreamed up the idea
of The Eras Tour,
149
02:24:05,708 --> 02:24:08,375
I thought it would be
really fun to sort of
150
02:24:08,458 --> 02:24:10,791
go back through
151
02:24:10,875 --> 02:24:13,333
all these different phases
I've had musically,
152
02:24:13,416 --> 02:24:14,833
because it's been...
153
02:24:14,916 --> 02:24:16,553
I mean, it's been
a little bit of everything.
154
02:24:16,583 --> 02:24:20,583
You've been so kind to me
in letting me explore genres,
155
02:24:20,666 --> 02:24:23,125
and step outside boxes
that are created for us
156
02:24:23,208 --> 02:24:24,208
in the music industry.
157
02:24:24,291 --> 02:24:27,291
And that's only because of you
that I get to do that.
158
02:24:27,375 --> 02:24:28,708
So, thank you...
159
02:24:32,041 --> 02:24:33,261
...because it's just so much fun.
160
02:24:33,291 --> 02:24:34,678
It's just so much fun to get to play,
161
02:24:34,708 --> 02:24:35,708
and to get to experiment,
162
02:24:35,791 --> 02:24:37,166
and to get to grow as an artist.
163
02:24:37,250 --> 02:24:38,458
But I did want to play a song
164
02:24:39,666 --> 02:24:43,916
just to thank the people who liked me
165
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:47,083
when I was a little teenager writing songs
166
02:24:47,166 --> 02:24:49,166
for my ninth grade talent show.
167
02:32:15,416 --> 02:32:16,833
I love you.
168
02:52:58,166 --> 02:52:59,541
You have absolutely given us
169
02:52:59,625 --> 02:53:01,416
everything that you have tonight,
170
02:53:02,291 --> 02:53:04,166
so I feel guilty asking...
171
02:53:04,666 --> 02:53:07,416
but could we have one more
song's worth of your time?
172
02:56:23,750 --> 02:56:29,583
L.A., every single person
on this stage loves you so much.
173
02:56:29,666 --> 02:56:32,583
So will you please
show that love right back
174
02:56:32,666 --> 02:56:34,875
to my amazing dancers?
175
02:56:46,000 --> 02:56:49,041
And now,
please make some noise
176
02:56:49,125 --> 02:56:52,625
for my extraordinary
backing vocalists!
177
02:56:58,125 --> 02:56:59,916
And will you please
direct your attention
178
02:57:00,000 --> 02:57:01,458
to the main stage
179
02:57:01,541 --> 02:57:04,958
and give it up
for my phenomenal band!
180
03:04:33,416 --> 03:04:35,583
Welcome to the acoustic set!
181
03:04:40,291 --> 03:04:42,125
So, when I was thinking about
182
03:04:42,208 --> 03:04:43,791
the idea of this tour, and I was...
183
03:04:43,875 --> 03:04:46,000
I was trying to figure out, uh,
184
03:04:46,083 --> 03:04:47,803
what to do in certain parts of it,
I thought,
185
03:04:47,833 --> 03:04:50,583
"You know, if I'm going to call it
The Eras Tour,
186
03:04:50,666 --> 03:04:52,500
"and it's going to be sort of like a...
187
03:04:52,583 --> 03:04:54,541
"Sort of a celebration of
188
03:04:55,125 --> 03:04:58,458
"how supportive you've been
of every phase of my career, right?"
189
03:04:58,541 --> 03:05:01,083
Like, I've been putting out albums
since I was 16,
190
03:05:01,166 --> 03:05:03,583
and you've been really nice
about all of it.
191
03:05:03,666 --> 03:05:05,208
Um...
192
03:05:05,291 --> 03:05:06,416
You can... There you go.
193
03:05:06,500 --> 03:05:09,666
- Yeah. A little... Yep, yep.
194
03:05:09,750 --> 03:05:10,833
Um...
195
03:05:11,708 --> 03:05:14,041
Give yourself some credit.
196
03:05:14,125 --> 03:05:17,125
So, uh, I thought it might be kind of fun
197
03:05:17,208 --> 03:05:21,208
to do a part of the show,
where every night, it's different.
198
03:05:21,291 --> 03:05:23,875
And... And then that would force me
199
03:05:23,958 --> 03:05:27,000
to really go back through all of my songs,
200
03:05:27,083 --> 03:05:28,958
and play maybe ones that I...
201
03:05:29,041 --> 03:05:33,250
It would never occur to me to play live
or I've never played them live before.
202
03:05:33,333 --> 03:05:35,458
And so tonight,
203
03:05:35,541 --> 03:05:38,500
we got one of the ones
that I've never played live before.
204
03:10:13,250 --> 03:10:14,416
This is, um...
205
03:10:16,250 --> 03:10:18,041
This is one of my favorites, so...
206
03:10:19,500 --> 03:10:20,750
I hope you'll agree.
207
03:10:20,833 --> 03:10:23,250
And if you do agree,
you should sing it really loudly.
208
03:10:23,708 --> 03:10:24,708
That's the deal.
209
03:13:32,458 --> 03:13:35,458
You are amazing. That was deafening.
210
03:13:36,083 --> 03:13:39,333
- You're, uh...
211
03:13:41,125 --> 03:13:43,541
- It's just so much fun to get to play,
212
03:13:43,625 --> 03:13:46,166
and to get to experiment,
and to get to grow as an artist.
213
03:13:46,250 --> 03:13:48,041
But I did want to play a song
214
03:13:48,750 --> 03:13:52,958
just to thank the people
who liked me
215
03:13:53,041 --> 03:13:56,083
when I was a little teenager
writing songs
216
03:13:56,166 --> 03:13:58,125
- for my ninth grade talent show.
