In honor of Taytay’s concerts, places like Liverpool temporarily surround themselves in “Taylor Town” and gelsenkirchen even made it to the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” show by visiting the “Queen of Pop”. But to be able to play three-hour shows, you not only need a lot of perseverance, but also experience. And that brings Swift with it, because she can now look back on almost 20 years of career-with numerous tours. Here are some of the most exciting live moments.
The US national anthem (2002)
Back to the roots: First of all, we look at the twelve -year -old Taylor Swift. The singer already appeared in halls before giving tours. In doing so, she performed less of her own songs, but well-known songs and the American national anthem. Even if she has done this several times, her appearance on April 5, 2002 stands out in the game of the basketball team Sixers.
Dressed in a sweatshirt with the US flag and a red headband, she sang fans in the “Wells Fargo Center” in Philadelphia before 20,754. And apparently already without any nervousness.
Medley at the American Music Awards (2019)
Between 2002 and 2019 there were seven Taylor swift albums. Accordingly, it is difficult to choose a song for an appearance. For her live performance in 2019 at the American Music Awards, the pop singer decided to use several plates. In an almost twelve -minute medley, she reviews her best known hits. From “Love Story” from the 2008 record Fearless to “Blank Space” from the fifth studio album 1989 (2014) to “The Man” from the tracklist from Lover (2019).
Taylor Swifts Grammy-Performance (2010)
Although the musician was nominated for a Grammy for the first time in 2008 in the “Best New Artist” category, but the first golden trophy of 14 now held her hands in 2010. At the age of 20, she received the Grammy for the “Best Album” for her second LP Fearless.
In 2010, however, it did not remain in 2010, Swift came on stage four more times during the award: three times to pick up the award for “Best Country Album”, “Best Country Song” and “Best Female Country Singing Darage” and once again, to get your Medley from, among other things, “Today was a Fairytale” and “You Belong” With me ”. In the latter, she received vocal support from Fleetwood Mac member Stevie Nicks.
From Pop Mach Rock (2015)
In 2015, Taylor Swift cut her blonde lion mane short, pulled over a black leather outfit and switched from Country to rock – at least for a song. During her 1989 tour she transformed her shallow break-up song “We are never ever Getting Back Together” into a rock track. And with success! Because not only the original version ended up in the pole position of the charts in the USA (in Germany in 21st place), but also the new hard rock sound was rewarded with YouTube clicks in the six- to nine-digit range. The scene originally comes from her concert film “Taylor Swift: The 1989 World Tour Live”, in which your GIG 2015 was filmed in Sydney, Australia. Jonas Åkerlund took over the direction.
The Swift Squad has “Style” (2015)
And we stay on the 1989 tour, because Taylor Swift took this as an opportunity to invite her prominent friends onto the stage. By Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, Charli XCX, Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger and Avril Lavigne to Wiz Khalifa – to name just a few. The Star parade culminated at its concert in London in 2015 when Swift brought six guests at once to perform their song “Style”. In addition to Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Gigi Hadid, Martha Hunt and Karlie Kloss, Serena Williams also came to transform the stage into a catwalk in front of thousands in front of thousands.
Standing ovation for “Champagne Problems”
In addition to past tours, we also want to look at the current show. The “Eras” tour is not over yet, but with a term of over a year now, this tour already offers a lot of material for this list. So also her ride in Los Angeles in 2023. It is precisely as Taylor Swift to start her first solo performance of the evening with “Champagne Problem”, she is interrupted by the audience. They celebrate the singer and her performance with applause, which, however, no longer seems to stop. Cheer, clap and scream for eight minutes.
A meeting of the Swifties
Speaking of Taylor Swift fans: Whoever says Swift must also say swifties! Even if the artist draws all the eyes with three hours of singing, change of outfit and dance performances, you should also take a closer look at the stage. At every Taylor swift concert, thousands of swifties come together to celebrate their idol. In addition to swapping friendship ribbons, there are also other declarations of love. As with Taylor Swift’s appearance in 2023. There a couple gave themselves the yes word during their concert.
Which concert it is here is unknown. According to the time stamp, however, it could be the start weekend of the “Eras” tour in Glendale, Arizona.
