After a months-long break from the stage—during which she took every opportunity to cheer on her Super Bowl-winning boyfriend from the stands—Taylor Swift is back on the road. The pop star’s Eras Tour swept the Americas last year, and now it’s Europe’s turn. Swift will spend the next four months hitting major hubs like London and Stockholm before returning stateside for one more North American leg this fall.
So, yes, we’re now heading into year two of headline-dominating Eras Tour discourse. Since debuting the three-hour victory lap of her greatest hits last March in Arizona, Swift’s show has already managed to gross over $1 billion, making the Eras Tour the first tour in history to cross that milestone. It’s projected that by the time the tour concludes, a $2 billion gross could be within Swift’s reach.
Thus far, fan reviews of their experiences at the Eras Tour have been overwhelmingly positive. But the sheer size of the stadiums Swift is packing have necessitated infrastructural sophistication from its organizers on a level that’s rarely, if ever, been seen in pop music. As such, there have been a few hiccups.
