From a humble beginning in West Reading, Pennsylvania, USA, Taylor Alison Swift was interested in music from an early age. Her first taste of stardom came when she was eleven and sang The Star-Spangled Banner before a basketball game. Swift was 14 when she signed up with Sony/ATV as a songwriter. At 16, Taylor Swift released her first self-titled album and opened for Rascal Flats. She became platinum in 2007 and sold over one million copies. 2008 saw the release of her second album, Fearless, where she shows not only county but pop sensibility. Fearless opened at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Swift went out on her first headlining tour in 2009, and she won the CMA Entertainer of the Year, which made her the youngest and first female winner since 1999. 

In 2015, she released her next album, 1989, featuring the hit song Shake It Off. 2018 saw the start of a controversy that would follow the singer regarding selling the master recordings of her six albums. Swift eventually released her versions of Fearless and Red. Following the issue, she released more albums and appeared in the musical Cats. Taylor moved away from her pop sound and started producing more folk center music, with Folklore and Evermore. After all this, she is still releasing new music and is a force to be reckoned with.

Take a look at her entire discography:

Taylor Swift has always been known to push the boundaries regarding her live performances. Just like her surprise appearance at London’s O2 Area, where she performed her new song Anti-Hero, live for the first time. Her previous tour, The Reputation Tour, put our unrivaled stage presence, excellent musicianship, and top-notch stage design, which left fans wanting more as soon as the show ended. Critics have said the Reputation tour showed fans that Swift was meant to be a singer and entertainer. The show felt complete and exciting from the over-the-top set, jaw-dropping stage, and self-aware vulnerable video monologues. This was a performance to be remembered and perfectly encapsulated her growth as a performer. Fans are more excited about what’s to come than ever before. 

Getting ready for a night seeing your favourite artist can be stressful. The team at Events Hospitality wants to ensure you make the most of your time at a Taylor Swift tour or any other event. These tips ensure all your bases are covered, so you can only worry about what song will be played next. First, we always recommend dressing in loose and comfortable clothes and shoes. You’ll likely be on your feet, dancing, jumping, and singing along. You’ll want to wear flexible, relaxed clothing so nothing gets in your way. Something else to consider is potentially bringing earplugs so you don’t damage your hearing. If you’re worried about muffled sound, high-fidelity earplugs that turn the volume down without muffling the sound are available. Next, you should consider how you’re getting to and from the stadium. Avoid waiting on rides to show up by having a solid plan considered and agreed on before the show starts. The last thing we recommend is keeping your cell phone fully charged if you need to make a call.
