Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert has left a historic mark on the music industry, ranking as one of the biggest international tours of the year and drawing millions of fans and celebrities worldwide. With the world-renowned tour nearing its conclusion on December 8, the pop star published a retrospective book, “The Eras Tour Book”, on November 29.
In her book, Swift revealed that she conceived the concept for her “ambitious” tour while working on the “Midnights” album in 2022 and shared the idea with her team. The “Maroon” singer explained that she chose not to embark on a “Midnights” tour because she dislikes repeating what she has already done.
The Grammy winner revealed that re-recording her old catalog reignited her love for her previous records, inspiring her to feature them in her shows. She designed the tour to honor her fans’ unwavering support. After developing the concept, the “Look What You Made Me Do” singer focused on embracing the vibe, musicality, style, and aesthetic of each era.
Swift envisioned the tour as a “time capsule” to celebrate both her new and longtime fans together. However, she initially doubted the idea, questioning “how on earth” she could perform 45 songs live for three hours and 15 minutes straight.
She wrote about giving “absolutely everything” to the audience and constantly motivating herself to be physically and mentally “tougher…than ever before.” Swift also committed to a disciplined lifestyle, prioritizing her health, fitness, and stamina to excel on stage.
Swift expressed gratitude for her incredible crew, band, singers, and dancers, who matched her dedication to tackling the massive scale and challenges of the show. She shared how she delivered her best performances despite facing both external and internal obstacles. “Whether it was pouring rain, blazing heat, thick humidity, wild winds, or bitter cold,” she recalled meeting every challenge head-on.
