She is proceeded by courtiers bedecked with huge plumes of multicoloured silk floating in the evening air above and Swift herself gliding down the long walkway that spans nearly the whole length of the stadium.
The last time she played here was for two notably unsold out nights at Croke Park five years ago but there is something about the futuristic Aviva that suits her a whole lot better. And a lot has changed for Swift since 2018; she’s got far, far bigger and her fans, well, they got far, far more loyal. Outside the Aviva, hundreds of ticketless Swifties stand in mute reverence hanging on her every word.
"We have 18 years of music for you tonight," she says."One era at a time. You’re about to hear a lot of songs. These songs are my life and imagination." For the Lover Era, she hefts her big and very pink acoustic guitar for the strum and twang of Cruel Summer, followed by The Man and You Need to Calm Down. It’s a soothing opening set for a long, long night.
In fact, it’s the Reputation section of the night that she seems to be having the most fun. This is Dark Taylor - F bombs are dropped and the set design and massive on-stage screen lurches into frazzled overload.
