Taylor Swift brought her “Eras Tour” to Nashville Friday night for the first of her three hometown concerts at Nissan Stadium. From the show’s inception, she promised fans an extra special night: “I’m not going to lie to you, we’ve got some great stuff going on tonight… I’m not rolling up my sleeves but I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve,” Swift joked.
You weren’t lying. Among the surprises: Swift confirmed the launch Speak now (Taylor version), which will arrive on July 7. The newly re-recorded version of her 2010 album follows the 2021 album Afraid (Taylor version) And Red (Taylor version). Pre-orders are now running.
Furthermore, Phoebe Bridgers, who opens the show, joins Swift in the live debut of Taylor’s Version collaboration, “Nothing New.”

Earlier in the evening, Bridgers ran a surprise performance of her own, bringing out Boy Genius to “Not Strong Enough”. Julian Baker and Lucy Dacus then stuck around to provide backing vocals on “Graceland Too” and “I Know the End.”
After visiting Nashville, Swift’s “Eras Tour” will be making its way to Philadelphia next weekend. You can find last minute tickets here for all of her upcoming tour dates.
