The Eras Tour is the ongoing sixth concert tour by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It commenced on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, United States, and is set to conclude on December 8, 2024, in Vancouver, Canada, consisting of 152 shows spanning five continents. It became the highest-grossing tour in history as the first tour ever to surpass $1 billion in revenue, and has had a documented cultural impact across the globe.
Swift announced the Eras Tour in November 2022, following the release of her tenth studio album Midnights (2022), as her second all-stadium tour after the 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour. Running over 3.5 hours, the set list of the Eras Tour consists of over 40 songs grouped into 10 distinct acts that portray all of Swift's studio albums conceptually; the show was revamped in May 2024 to incorporate her then-new eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department (2024).
The tour received praise from critics, who emphasized the concept, production, aesthetics and immersive ambience, as well as Swift's musicianship, vocals, stage presence, and versatility. It recorded unprecedented public demand, ticket sales, venue attendance, and technical obstacles, resulting in introduction of anti-scalping laws and price regulation policies. Ticketmaster, one of the tour's official ticketing partners, was politically scrutinized for its ineffective sales of the tour's tickets and an alleged monopoly in the concert industry. The tour also bolstered economies, businesses, and tourism worldwide; dominated social media and news cycles; and garnered tributes and accolades from various governments and organizations.
Swift disclosed and released various works during the tour: the re-recorded albums Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and 1989 (Taylor's Version), the music videos of "Karma" and "I Can See You", editions of Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department, and "Cruel Summer" as a single. An accompanying concert film, documenting the Los Angeles shows, was released to theaters worldwide on October 13, 2023, in an uncommon distribution deal circumventing major film studios. Met with critical acclaim, the film became the highest-grossing concert film in history.
