Taylor Swift is in the middle of her long-awaited The Eras tour, a 20-city voyage across the U.S. that has already mobilized thousands of fans to packed stadiums and spurred astonishing spending on resale tickets, merch, and anything Tay Tay related.

This is her sixth tour and the first one since 2018 after the Lover Fest tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Different from her previous tours that focused on one album, Eras will feature tracks from her 10 studio albums, many of which will be performed live for the first time.

While Swift is by all means the center of attention in her tours, we can't forget about the opening acts that have been by her side throughout, making each concert an even more special experience. This year's lineup is full of A-listers including indie folk It-girl Phoebe Bridgers and cult classic band Paramore.
