Taylor Swift Taps Paramore for European Eras Tour Run
Taylor Swift knows we need more — so she’s giving us just that. The singer has added 14 more shows to the European/U.K. leg of her Eras Tour, and announced that Paramore will provide support throughout the trek.
“Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour,” Swift wrote on Twitter Wednesday, July 5. “And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore !! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???”

Last month, Swift added dozens of shows to her Taylor Swift: The Eras stadium tour — bringing the total count of shows to a whooping 104 nights. She also extended her run at Los Angeles’ So-Fi Stadium with a sixth show scheduled for Aug. 7.
Among the shows added last month were a sixth performance in Brazil after the country’s lawmakers introduced a bill to address ticket scalpers. A government official introduced the law, nicknamed the Taylor Swift Bill, last week to penalize ticket scalpers with up to four years in prison and fees up to 100 times the original price.
The new addition comes after the singer announced shows in Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Europe earlier this week. (See below for the full tour dates.)
“EXCUSE ME HI I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ???♀?,” she wrote on Instagram. “I can’t wait to see so many of you on The Eras Tour next year at these new international dates!”
She also added more dates to her already-announced Latin America tour. After wrapping her U.S. dates in Los Angeles on Aug. 9, Swift will head to Mexico City for four straight shows at Foro Sol starting Aug. 24. She’ll then stop in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and both Rio de Janeiro and S?o Paulo in Brazil in November.
“Really thrilled to tell you this!! Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil: We are bringing The Eras Tour to you this year!” Swift wrote in her announcement earlier this month. “LOTS more international dates to come soon, promise!”
Joining the artist on her Latin America run and shows in Singapore and Australia will be “sweet angel princess” Sabrina Carpenter.
Swift first announced the tour last October after she completely took over the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 with Midnights. The added dates, which follow the addition of eight new shows last week, were slotted in “due to unprecedented demand,” according to the singer’s camp.
“Good Morning America, it’s Taylor,” Swift said during the announcement. “I wanted to tell you something that I’ve been so excited about for a really long time and I’ve been planning for ages, and I finally get to tell you I’m going back on tour. The tour is called the ‘Eras’ tour, and it’s a journey through all of my musical eras of my career.”
The tour began on March 17 in Glendale, Arizona and extends through Aug. 9, where the singer will wrap with a fifth night at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Swift still has stops left in Detroit, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Seattle, and Santa Clara.
“It starts in U.S. stadiums and we will be releasing international dates as soon as we can,” Swift added. “And I have some brilliant opening acts coming along with me. And really, I’m just so excited that I get to look you guys in the eye and say thank you for everything.”
Across the tour, Swift is being supported in select cities by a combination of special guests including Paramore, beabadoobee, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in red, MUNA, HAIM, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams, and OWENN.
The Eras tour follows the cancelation of her planned 2020 Lover Fest tour, which was originally going to see her make stadium stops in Los Angeles, Boston, and New York, along with Brazil, Denmark, Norway, and Poland. “This is an unprecedented pandemic that has changed everyone’s plans and no one knows what the touring landscape is going to look like in the near future,” she wrote in 2021.
Swift last went the road in 2018 for her massive Reputation Stadium Tour, which saw Swift accompanied by the likes of Charli XCX and Camila Cabello across the United States, the United Kingdom, along with Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. The tour was the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist that year.
Since her last tour, Swift has released four albums and two re-releases: Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Midnights, and Taylor’s Version editions of Fearless and Red with additional songs. In total, she’s dropped 90 tracks of new material, not including collaborations with the likes of Haim and Big Red Machine.
Fans have long wondered what music she’ll be performing on the road, with some theorizing that she’d host a residency in Las Vegas or a music festival where she’d perform different “eras” on different nights.
Along with packing her setlist with songs from Reputation in 2018, she surprised each city with an acoustic rendition of fan favorites like “Red,” “Holy Ground,” and “Wildest Dreams.” At select shows, she also brought out special guests. Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez, Hayley Kiyoko, and Maren Morris were among the artists to be brought out by Swift.
The stadium tour was accompanied by a concert film released on New Year’s Eve that year.
She previously took her 1989 album on the road for 85 dates, where she was accompanied by the likes of Mendes, James Bay, Vance Joy, and Haim. Before then was The Red Tour in 2013 and 2014, and her Speak Now World Tour from 2011 to 2012.
