Taylor Swift declares "I'm Falling in Love." In a night filled with excitement and surprises, Taylor Swift kicked off her long-awaited The Eras Tour in Argentina, marking her first performance on Argentine soil. Over 80,000 fans gathered to experience a unique evening.
The global superstar Taylor Swift kicked off her international tour, The Eras Tour, in a romantic and thrilling manner at the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, delighting over 80,000 fans. The 33-year-old "Bad Blood" performer dazzled in a stunning pink sequin bodysuit and matching boots while delivering a vibrant performance.
In a delightful surprise for her Argentine followers, the Grammy winner added two unexpected songs to her setlist: "The Very First Night" and "Labyrinth," the latter with the revealing lyrics, 'oh no, I'm falling in love again,' amid her new romance with Travis Kelce.
Despite the excitement in the stadium, her NFL boyfriend, 34-year-old Travis Kelce, was not present at Friday's show, but reports suggest he will support the singer over the weekend. As of Thursday night, Kelce was still in Kansas City, where he was seen at a gala supporting his teammate Patrick Mahomes and his foundation.
On Thursday night, Taylor Swift took the stage with style and passion, marking the beginning of an international leg that promises to be as thrilling as its start in Argentina. While her fans delighted in her talent, the surprise addition of new songs to her repertoire elevated the excitement, especially with lyrics hinting at her current romance with Travis Kelce.
The show began with a striking entrance as Taylor Swift appeared out of nowhere, clad in a dazzling pink outfit, while a platform lifted her amid the Buenos Aires night. This marked the beginning of the "Lover era," with the American artist expressing her astonishment at the overwhelming response from the fans at the Monumental.
With over 3 hours of duration, the concert featured 18 costume changes and a setlist that revisited almost two decades of Swift's successful career. The connection with the Argentine audience was evident from the beginning, and the artist did not miss the opportunity to praise the local "swifties."
"I am incredibly fortunate that, being my first time in Argentina, you decided to sell out three stadiums like this. You may be one of the most epic audiences that ever existed. I am very excited to perform for you. The way you feel, the way you sing, is on another level," expressed Taylor Swift excitedly.
The stadium transformed visually throughout the show, reflecting the different eras of the singer's career. From the yellow of the Fearless era to the brown tones of Evermore, The Eras Tour was a gift for the devoted fans and a retrospective of Swift's artistic evolution.
One of the highlights was when the artist, in a gesture connecting with her Argentine audience, changed the phrase "like ever" to an authentic "ni en pedo" in her hit "We Are Never Getting Back Together," earning applause and laughter from the audience.
Taylor Swift's evident emotion was also captured in videos shared on social media, showing her paralyzed before the crowd, removing her in-ears to better hear the unanimous ovation that echoed throughout the stadium.
The Eras Tour promises to be an unforgettable experience for Taylor Swift's Argentine fans, who will have the opportunity to enjoy the show again on the upcoming Friday and Saturday. The special connection between the pop star and her Argentine followers has left an indelible mark on this epic night at River Plate.
