Taylor Swift Kicks Off Three-Night Concert Run in Philadelphia

The Taylor Swift takeover of South Philadelphia began on Friday night at Lincoln Financial Field. The pop star made a grand entrance, both in person and on a video screen as wide as a football field, to kick off the first of three consecutive weekend shows. She made her entrance after a clock ticked down to zero as Lesley Gore’s proto-feminist anthem “You Don’t Own Me” played.

Swift started the concert with a one-two punch of “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince” and “Cruel Summer,” both from her 2019 album “Lover”. After two more songs from “Lover”, she addressed the crowd of ecstatic Swifties, saying, “Whether you are aware of it or not, you have walked into my hometown show.”

Swift expressed her gratitude for opening acts Gayle and Phoebe Bridgers, whose band included Matty Healy, the lead singer of the British band The 1975 that Swift is rumored to be dating. Both of those artists will also play on Saturday night, and Gracie Adams replaces Gayle on Sunday.

Swift played a total of 45 songs during her 3-hour-15-minute show. Fans were in for a surprise when Swift performed two previously unreleased songs. The songs were numbered 37 and 38 on the list, with the first one containing the lyrics that fans had speculated was about an Eagles T-shirt.

A full review of the show is coming up on Saturday. For now, fans can enjoy the full list of songs.
