Taylor Swift

Well, the Eras Tour opened this past weekend in Glendale, Arizona, and fans who were lucky enough to get tickets got their money's worth. Swift performed 44 ...

Not only that, the fact that the show itself was three hours long is a testament that Swift wants to give her fans exactly what they want. Yes, that part is nice, but what really matters is that Swift was thoughtful enough to remember McCune and keep her promise from five years ago. Swift is famous for going out of her way to make her fans happy, so you can imagine that her first tour in more than four years was going to be a spectacle. It takes very little for Taylor Swift to give away four tickets to a concert. Last week, however, Swift delivered on the promise with four tickets to her opening weekend. Swift found out about what happened, visited McCune in the burn unit in Arizona's Children's Hospital, and left her with a promise.

Swift's agent said the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter “planned to make a positive impact” in communities along her tour, Terri Shoemaker, a vice president of ...

What surprise songs did Taylor Swift perform on The Eras Tour? Here's the full list.

She even cut 'Tim McGraw' from the second night's setlist in favour of another surprise song.

Plenty of fans theorized that the singer was purposely minimizing the attention of her third album because she could be on the precipice of releasing Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). But out all the fan favorites she performed at Arizona’s State Farm Arena during the first two shows, she included only a single song from 2010’s Speak Now in the form of album cut and originally planned title track “Enchanted.” The last snap in the slideshow, though, showed off the star’s delicate manicure featuring a different shade on each finger representing a separate album era — sparkling gold for Fearless (Taylor’s Version), shiny teal for 1989, matte black for Reputation, and so on. At first glance, the moment looks innocuously like part of the choreography, but many Swifties surmised that it could represent the pending release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), which had been entangled in legal red tape over trademark and copyright issues until earlier this week. From her costumes to her choreography, and even the songs she included (or didn’t) on the setlist, nearly every detail elicited wild analysis and speculation for what it all could mean. The next night, the shirt changed to a spoken lyric from “22”: “Who’s Taylor Swift anyway?

Isabella McCune said Taylor Swift's music helped her endure treatment after a serious burn injury. Five years later, she saw Swift in concert.

"The last time she saw me I was in a wheelchair," Isabella said. "The fact that she still remembers it and still wanted to be able to treat me and let me go to her concert? "I am the biggest Swiftie you will ever meet," Isabella said. It made her think about what she was going through back then: newly admitted into the burn center, intubated, probably in surgery. "It doesn’t even feel real," Isabella said, thinking back on the concert a week later. Her favorite Swift song is "...Ready For It," from the singer's Reputation album. How she had wanted to go to Swift's concert, but couldn't because she was in the hospital. The answer came back quickly: Swift was happy to make good on her promise. She hung out with Isabella, signed autographs and posed for pictures, and gave the 8-year-old a delicate hug. She sat down on the bed, dressed in a green T-shirt and black and white sneakers. She even met her idol, the pop superstar Taylor Swift. She formed lasting friendships with the doctors, nurses and therapists who marveled at her mental fortitude.

The Vegas crowd was in for a double-barreled treat, as she went back to her self-titled debut album for “Our Song” (by request of debut opening act Beabadoobee) — Swift’s only track from the 2006 project for the night — and then paid tribute to Lana Del Rey’s Friday-released album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd by playing her LDR collab “Snow on the Beach” from November’s Midnights for the first time. “She knows I’m obsessed with her, and she was kind enough to make a song with me on Midnights called ‘Snow on the Beach’ because she’s a generous king.

However, Del Rey did not appear as a surprise guest — which Swift made sure to specify before, just so fans didn’t get too high in an expectation.

Taylor Swift played her Lana Del Rey co-write, 'Snow on the Beach,' at a Las Vegas show after 'doing promo' effusively praising Del Rey's new record.

“You know, I was thinking that for this tour it might be fun to have a section where I would just play different songs each night and it would be just me and you and a guitar, and we could just go by honestly what I feel like playing that night,” she said. If she means that for both slots and holds true to it, it would mean there could be as many as 104 surprise numbers played across the course of a 52-show North American tour. The following night, she performed “This Is Me Trying” from “Folklore” on guitar and “State of Grace” from “Red” on piano. Directly preceding it was a song from her self-titled 2006 debut album, “Our Song,” a pick that also had its inspiration in another artist, albeit one that was in the building, if not on stage at the time. “And she knows I’m obsessed with her,” Swift continued, “and she was kind enough to make a song with me on ‘Midnights’ called ‘Snow on the Beach,’ because she’s a generous king.
