The one and only Taylor Swift recently embarked on her highly anticipated tour, The Eras Tour, captivating audiences around the world with her electrifying performances and mesmerizing stage presence, and I was one of the very lucky people in the audience. One stop on this worldwide journey was Kansas City, where Taylor hit the stage to a sold-out crowd at the Sprint Center. On this night (two nights, actually), Taylor Swift reigned supreme in Kansas City, leaving her fans screaming, crying, and throwing up.
Miss Taylor was beyond stunning in every aspect of her performance. The twelve-time Grammy winner’s show is roughly three and a half hours long and her voice sounds even more incredible as the show goes on. It’s mind-blowing, honestly. How? How. The audience ate up her every move.
Swift’s attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the show. Elaborate costume changes, mesmerizing visuals, and intricate staging transformed this concert into an experience. The incorporation of pyrotechnics, confetti cannons, and mesmerizing lights displays added a level of grandeur and spectacle that is The Eras Tour through and through. Each era of her career featured a unique color palette, dazzling costumes, and backdrops to set the scene. She also had a custom microphone to represent each era, all sparkly of course.
Despite the grand scale of the production, Taylor effortlessly connected with the audience on a personal level. Between songs, she took time to share anecdotes and stories, inviting us into her world and into each other’s worlds, as we are all experiencing this together. Through her meticulously curated performance, she reaffirmed her status as a global icon, captivating audiences and taking us on a remarkable journey through her musical evolution. It was basically like we were all in heaven.
Taylor’s known for having surprise songs during each performance of this tour, and Kansas City was no exception. On night one, she played “Never Grow Up” and “When Emma Falls In Love,” both from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Night two she played “Last Kiss” from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), a couple times actually, as she messed up the lyrics twice and started over, and “Dorothea,” from her album Evermore.
It’s clear that Taylor Swift’s impact on the music industry and her fans knows no bounds, as she’s been smashing even more streaming records since her latest re-release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). What will that woman do next? *holds breath in excitement* *screaming, crying, throwing up*
