The rep Tour Perth: Flew me to places I’d never been

On By The EditorIn Concert, Overseas, Taylor Swift, VideoLeave a comment

I realize the blame is on me, Taylor Nation.

The next chapter in the Story of Us is not coming soon. Not yet. The rep Tour just made its first stop in Perth, Australia as Taylor became the first artist to headline the Optus Stadium. She’s having a new opener with New Zealand’s duo Broods. Charlie XCX has traveled along, but Camilla Cabello is now on her own tour. That means Taylor is now playing Shake It Off alone, which is something that makes me really sad.

The surprise song tonight, October 19, was “I Knew You Were Trouble”.

T-Swizzle is up for three People’s Choice Awards with Female Artist of the Year, Concert Tour of the Year and Social Celebrity of the Year. The show airs Sunday, November 11th.

The reputation Stadium World Tour continues on Melbourne, Australia on October 26.

Coming up next in the Calendar:

  • October 26: Etihad Stadium. Melbourne, Australia.
  • November 2: ANZ Stadium. Sydney Olympic Park, Australia.
  • November 6: The Gabba. Brisbane, Australia.
  • November 9: Mt Smart Stadium. Auckland, New Zealand.
  • November 11: The People’s Choice Awards on E! Entertainment TV. Taylor Swift is nominated for Female Artist of the Year, Concert Tour of the Year and Social Celebrity of the Year.

1989 Tour Melbourne: The time of my life with you. Long live the 1989 World Tour!

If I had to pick one song from Taylor’s catalogue as my all-time favorite, I would have an impossible time doing it but I would be sad if I didn’t pick Long Live. Ever since we first hear it sung at the top of a double decker bus in Hollywood, California before its release with the Speak Now album, it has been the iconic arena-rock nostalgia anthem that hits you right in the gut.

For the last show in Australia and the final concert night of the 1989 World Tour, there’s no other song that could’ve summed up the feels that everyone had that night. The three nights in Melbourne were the last love letter from the Blonde With The Sparkly 1989 Microphone.

You Are In Love and Fifteen were the surprise songs sang acoustically from the B Stage on December 10 and December 11. For December 12, she didn’t leave anybody breathing with Long Live. To everyone, bands, dancers, road crew, sound techs and fans… You will be remembered.

For all the coverage, I have to thank official Twitter account @taylornation13 and the superb fan-run @TSwiftOnTour. However, I’d also like to thank accounts @belleswift17, @tswiftfanatic29, @TaySwiftAus, @tswiftdotcom, @TSwiftNZ, @HipsterTSwift, @TT4Taylor and @TSwiftLA for all the concert updates! I know there’s many more I’m forgetting here, so my apologies to everyone I forgot.

Up next, someone’s 26 years old.

The Queen of Sparks took Adelaide into a warm hug and rocked their world at the Entertainment Center on December 7 and 8. All You Had To Do Was Stay and This Love seem to have been taken away from the set list.
