Taylor Swift brought her epoch tour to the inhospitable swamps of East Rutherford, New Jersey and its MetLife Stadium—the only venue with views of the New York City skyline that can accommodate a crowd worthy of a national pop sensation. economic. 82,000 fans bought tickets (plus plenty of others just relaxing in the arena parking lot—a bargain for just $40—or otherwise hanging out at the nearby American Dream mall in the hopes of getting some vibes) got to see another long and excellent performance.
Swift ran through the ages (aha!) on her record in three hours and 40 minutes according to Setlist.fm, which is longer than the three hours 18 minutes tour average. The huge-scale experience in Jersey (the first of three long weekends) can be partly explained by Swift’s release of a new video—a collaborative remix of her track “Karma” from 2002 year midnight albums with artists performing at the right time ice seasoning. This happens in the “Surprise Song” section of age setlist, where Swift mixes it from night to night (usually an acoustic performance.)
But video isn’t everything. The Bronx-born 23-year-old hip-hop star then joined Swift on stage to end the performance.
As Swift said, every hollywood reporter, “Ice Spice contacted me… what she didn’t know at the time was… I mostly just listen to her music every day, all day, and go to the area to tour… I just don’t just love her. but also decide she is the whole future. I’ve been around a lot of artists and a lot of beginner artists, but I’ve never been with someone who is willing, curious, and focused on what she wants. So I was completely blown away.”
Ice Spice immediately put the show on hold to put that endorsement on her LinkedIn. (Joke.)
Jack Antonoff, Bleach and Fun. Swift’s recording artist and longtime producer, also appeared on the evening’s “Surprise Song”, a duet on “Getaway Car”.
You can watch the new “Karma” video here. And there’s no shortage of moments from the show—and every one of Taylor’s performances—that went viral on social media. (Amazing my niece, who took a less-than-more approach on her Instagram Stories, shooting just a short video looking over the vast swaying sea of Swifties. Artistic and poignant, if I say so myself!)
