According to StubHub, buyers from 52 countries, excluding the United States and Canada, are attending the concerts—more than any of the other 2024 U.S. stops.

Excited ticket holders also dressed up for Taylor Swift. They wore different outfits representing her various eras, from country to pop.

“Um, I would be a mirror ball, which is from the folklore era,” said one fan.

“I’m in the midnights era,” said another.

“And I’m fearless. Fearless, I think, is just an album that encourages you to go out of your way and do things you wouldn’t usually do. She’s just an inspiration for me. Taylor is not just an inspiration to her fans; she’s an icon who uses lyrics that connect with so many,” said a ticket holder. “Her lyrics and songs are relatable to every aspect of life. Every single song has something you can connect with.”
