It made its debut in New Orleans, then was swapped to Indianapolis, and now it’s gone international: the giant friendship bracelet, a massive homage to the fan-led phenomenon that has become a staple for Eras Tour attendees, showed up outside the Rogers Centre to welcome fans to night one of the six-night run.
Taylor Swift performs onstage during"Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at Caesars Superdome on October 25, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana.The excitement began on the plane: a half-dozen girls and young women exchanging notes on outfits , making and trading friendship bracelets and even a few headed to the country without tickets, hoping for a day-of miracle.
“Here in 2024 we have taken Eras Tour all over the world,” Swift said early on in the show. “We went to Asia, we went to Australia, we spent all summer in Europe, swung back through America, and then we thought, ‘You know what? If we’re going to bring the Eras Tour to a close’ — which we are, in nine shows — ‘I was thinking, I want to spend those last shows with the most generous, encouraging, passionate, excitable fans.’ So we came to see you, Toronto.
Prior to the show, the areas around the venue were packed full of people, either lined up to get in the second the doors opened or flooding into the bars and restaurants within the closest vicinity to the venue. But once she hit the stage, seemingly the whole city had squeezed into the Rogers Centre to witness the spectacle. Here are the eight biggest moments from Taylor Swift’s first of six nights in Toronto, with only eight of the 149 Eras Tour shows to go after this.
Land acknowledgements are a form of recognizing the indigenous people and their relationship to their traditional territories, often as a sign of respect and to promote awareness — Swift also did so in Australia to recognize Aboriginal peoples.One of fans’ favorite of Swift’s dancers, Kam, is known to have his own personalized shout out when she runs through “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” — often tailoring his moment to the city in which the tour is stopped in a given night.
“You have all these traditions you started, you turned it into a full event, and the way the city of Toronto has embraced us and welcomed us, we notice all of it. And it’s so heartening. It feels so good, and it feels so different than any experience I’ve ever had before. So honestly, thank you to anyone here tonight who got excited about the idea of the Eras Tour. Because you make this so much fun for us.
