Opening Night vs Closing Night of Taylor’s Eras Tour
- Taylor Swift closed out the first leg of her record-breaking Eras tour in Los Angeles on August 9 after performing six sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
- As the superstar singer takes a break from touring, a fan has been comparing Taylor’s closing performance at SoFi to that at the opening night of her Eras tour in Glendale, Arizona on March 17. And the difference in Taylor’s confidence on stage is staggering.
- In a series of TikTok videos, which have amassed millions of views, @thetaylorswiftofitall juxtaposes footage of Taylor’s first and final performances of hit songs like Vigilante Shit and Bejeweled side-by-side.
- Fans have remarked on Taylor’s unmistakable growth in confidence and stage presence between her opening show in Glendale and the final show in SoFi. In the side-by-side clips, Taylor visibly becomes more self-assured and comfortable with the choreography over the shows.
- A Swiftie commented: “In Glendale, she doing choreography. In LA, she’s performing!” Another writes: “She was so shy on opening night and then by closing night she was fire!”
- Others said that they “loved her confidence over the shows” — while a further fan praised how Taylor “got so much comfortable” as the tour continued.
- Some fans speculated that Taylor’s growth in confidence was because she “healed” during the time between the first and final night of Eras tour — after the end of her relationships with Joe Alwyn and then Matty Healy of The 1975. A social media user wrote: She finally realized she’s THE Taylor Swift.”
