Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening.

Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with.
