Scoring a ticket to the Eras Tour may have felt like the eighth circle of hell, but it sounds like Taylor Swift’s opening night was pure heaven on earth.
On March 18, Swift kicked off the Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona (a.k.a. Swift City), performing for a crowd of 80,000 for the first time since her last tour in 2008. Celebrating all 10 of her albums—including the latest LP, Midnights—Swift’s set included 44 songs, 16 backup dancers, and at least 13 outfit changes. According to People, the entire show lasted 3 hours and 13 minutes, which, of course, represents the artist’s favorite number.
The trick to the quick change is keeping everything else simple, as Keira Knightley would agree. Throughout the entire night, Swift kept her hair straight, her eyeliner winged, and her lips her signature shade of red. Here’s everything Taylor Swift wore and sang on the first night of the Eras Tour. Warning: setlist spoilers past this point.

According to Elle, Swift began with Lover, taking audiences through “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince,” “Cruel Summer,” “The Man,” “You Need to Calm Down,” “Lover,” and “The Archer.” To represent the album, People reports that Swift wore a sparkling Versace bodysuit before switching into a boardroom-approved sparkling suit jacket perfect for “The Man.” Personally, I’m particularly drawn to her sparkling Christian Louboutin boots, which appeared multiple times throughout the night.
