Taylor Swift is back on the road with her Eras tour, and she’s bringing her signature sparkle to Tokyo. The singer-songwriter, 34, kicked off the Tokyo leg of her ongoing world tour on Wednesday, giving fans a striking performance at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.
Swift is set to perform four consecutive nights in Tokyo, from Feb. 7 to Feb. 10, finishing just before the Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11. The Tokyo Dome shows come after Swift’s U.S. tour, where she dazzled fans with her signature style and powerful vocals.
In pictures from the concert, Swift was dressed in her signature sparkly pink rhinestone leotard as she held onto the microphone and flashed a beaming smile at the crowd. She also sported her fringed mini dress while playing her guitar, as well as a one-legged black body suit that was dazzled with red snakes.
Swift announced on Sunday that she would be releasing her eleventh studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” She revealed the news during her acceptance speech for best pop vocal album for “Midnights,” which marked her 13th Grammy award. The musician went on to say at her Tokyo show that she was “over the moon” that her fans love her music, adding that “everyone’s like, ‘Why do you make so many albums?’ I’m like, ‘Man, because I love it! I love it so much!'”
Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, were thrilled by the news of the new album. “The Tortured Poets Department” will be Swift’s eleventh studio album and her fourteenth Grammy win.
The Tokyo Dome shows come just before the Super Bowl LVIII, where Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is set to appear with his team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Kelce’s team is set to take on the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas following their 17-10 win against the Baltimore Ravens during the AFC Championship game on Jan. 2
In addition to her stunning performances, Swift has been using her platform to connect with her fans and share her creative process. During her Tokyo show, she shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) about her latest project, “Tortured Poets.”
“I’ve been working on ‘Tortured Poets’ since right after I turned in ‘Midnights,'” Swift told the crowd in a video shared on X. “I’ve been working on it for about two years, I kept working on it throughout the U.S. tour and when it was perfect — in my opinion when it’s good enough for you — I finished it and I am so so excited that soon you’ll get to hear it.”
Swift’s fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of “Tortured Poets” and are thrilled by the news. The album is set to be released soon, and Swift has been sharing snippets of her creative process on social media to build excitement.
