Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour: A Track By Track Breakdown
TOKYO -- It is here, Swifties. Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour has kicked off in Tokyo and not only are the 55,000 people at the Toyko Dome excited, but fans all over the world woke up super early to get their first glance at the show on the Internet (including me).
MTV News had someone at the show, giving us updates from within, while we scoured around for any bit of Tay we could scavenge! And from her sexy "I Know Places" costume to her hard rock version of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" to onscreen cameos from the likes of Lena Dunham, Selena Gomez, HAIM, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne, here's your look at Tay's tour -- one track at a time.
Let's begin, shall we?
'Welcome To New York'
Tay starts the show with "WTNY" in a glittery blazer. The dome is also a-glitter with light-up bracelets provided for everyone.
Here we gooooooo!
With her flock of male dancers, she welcomes the crowd, walking down a platform in heels. Behind her, a NYC-centric backdrop flashes like city streets.
"It's a new soundtrack/ I can dance to this beat/ Forever more."
"It's been waitin' for you."
Ummm... did girl just take her blazer off? Damn!
'New Romantics'
Fans really freaked when she went into "New Romantics," a bonus track off 1989.
Let's all lose our chill together.
'Blank Space'
Aaaaand you know she couldn't get away without doing fan-favorite "Blank Space." (Although she didn't play "Wonderland.")
The blazer is back on!
"And you! Love! The game!"
'I Knew You Were Trouble'
"IKYWT" is remixed. She slows it down, gets sinister, almost channeling a Lorde-type vibe.
Plumes of smoke were thrown from the stage during the chorus.
And the colors of the bracelets were synched up to the show. During "IKYWT," they turned red.
Dead.
We're only three songs in and it's a funeral for Swifties.
Gone is the purple skirt. Swift knows how to change outfits like a pro.
STOP. GO.
"Trouble, trouble, trouble."
'I Wish You Would'
Taylor talks to the crowd.
'How You Get The Girl'
Taylor switched into a pink dress, while her dancers brought out umbrellas for "How You Get The Girl."
The umbrellas light up! And there's more NYC imagery. The Brooklyn Bridge shows up in the background.
Fake rain falls onscreen as Taylor gets all cute.
Look at all those people!
'I Know Places'
Taylor quick-changes once again and she's off into "I Know Places."
That grunt doe.
OK, we're all on the same page about that growl.
She called everyone her friends.
'All You Had To Do Was Stay'
And then Taylor seduced us all with her crystalized blue eyes.
She's singing on the floor!
'You Are In Love'
She got on a stage extension and rose into the air for "You Are In Love."
It's acoustic and she's got the guitar out.
The crowd echoes her, just like in the recording!
She's wearing another crop top for this one -- this time it's royal blue.
Haim makes an appearance in a pre-taped video.
And so do her cats, Olivia and Meredith.
'Clean'
Now it's time for "Clean," and the visuals for the "Style" video are on. (Another hint that the video could've been for "Clean.")
And now she's lying on the cold, hard ground again.
'Love Story'
Swift brings it back to the good ol' days with "Love Story."
I'm almost certain she recycled her old outfits.
'Style'
It's time for another outfit change and another song. It's "Style"!
"I've got that red lip classic thing that you like."
"Watch us go round and round each time."
Fireworks!
'This Love'
She works a white, fringe leotard for "This Love."
"These hands had to let it go free and this love came back to me."
'Bad Blood'
Taylor is in LEATHER and singing "Bad Blood."
Again. Leather.
'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'
Swizzle turns "WANEGBT" into a hard rock jam. So badass.
I'm not worthy.
'Enchanted'
She goes right from "Enchanted" into "Wildest Dreams."
'Wildest Dreams'
The piano comes out for "Wildest Dreams."
Somehow she managed to change into ANOTHER sparkly suit.
It looks just like Karlie Kloss' Victoria's Secret suit!
"Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams."
'Out Of The Woods'
During "Out of the Woods," some giant paper airplanes flew out. You know, like Harry Styles' plane?
'Shake It Off'
Time to dance.
Is it over already?
We did it.
All of Taylor's outfits throughout the night.
Some fans get to meet up after the show at "Loft 89."
"The view that took my breath away...55,000 strong." - Taylor Swift
