AceShowbiz - On Friday night, November 1, Taylor Swift took the stage at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the first of three sold-out shows, marking the final U.S. stop on her "Eras Tour". The singer confirmed to the roaring crowd of 69,000 fans that Indianapolis would be the last American city on the tour.
"We had to end this tour in front of the most dedicated, passionate, beautiful, enthusiastic, excitable crowd," Swift said. "So we decided that the very last U.S. city of the Eras Tour would be right here in Indianapolis, Indiana."
In addition to confirming the tour closure in Indianapolis, Swift announced that the Friday night concert had set a new attendance record for Lucas Oil Stadium.
Throughout the evening, Swift treated fans to an array of hit songs and surprise mashups. For the acoustic set, she performed a combination of "The Albatross" from "The Tortured Poets Department" and "Holy Ground" from "Red (Taylor's Version)" on the guitar. She then transitioned to the piano for a mashup of "Cold As You" and "Exile".
Swift's setlist also included fan favorites like "All Too Well", "Shake It Off" and "Love Story". The show lasted over three hours, and Swift interacted with fans throughout, including pointing out a fan-made friendship bracelet in the crowd.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett declared Friday, November 4, 2022, as "Taylor Swift Day" in the city. The entire weekend has been dedicated to the "Eras Tour", with fans from around the world gathering in downtown Indianapolis for "Taygating" and other events.
The tour has been a massive success, with over 200,000 fans expected to attend the Indianapolis shows. Nearly 90% of ticketholders are from outside the Circle City, showcasing the global appeal of Swift's music.
After performing in Indianapolis, Swift will head to Toronto and Vancouver for the final two shows of the "Eras Tour", which ends on December 8. The tour has been a resounding triumph, with fans praising Swift's vocals, stage presence, and connection with her audience.
