The Guide to Taylor Swift

By Rylee Cason

With the arrival of Taylor Swift’s new album Midnights, it is only appropriate that we go back to the very beginning. In 2006 she released her first self-titled studio album Taylor Swift, and since then, she has released nine more studio albums, three live albums, and four extended plays. She has won eleven Grammys, she became the first artist with an entire top 10 on Billboard Hot 100, and she is about to embark on a national 52-show stadium tour in 2023. 

Fans (the Swifties) have been patiently awaiting the announcement of this tour for what feels like forever. Swift’s last tour was in 2018 when she embarked on her 5th worldwide and 1st stadium concert tour: The Reputation Stadium Tour. Since then, she has released four new albums and two re-recorded albums with additional songs “From the Vault,” her version of bonus tracks. All of this to say, The Eras Tour will be bigger than anyone expects. 

To wrap this up, remember that Taylor Swift is probably the biggest artist in the music industry, and getting tickets for this tour will be close to impossible. However, there are three available show dates in Nashville, in our very own Nissan Stadium. Tickets went up for presale on November 15th, and demand was so high that Ticketmaster crashed. I am looking forward to seeing all of the new Swifties I recruited at the Eras Tour next year!
