Photos: Taylor Swift lights up Paris in first concert of European tour
'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' lands in Paris with a fabulous display by the world's top artist. But fans should know it's a little bit different than the last leg of her ultra-successful tour...
On the stage, male and female dancers, light effects, and even a classic UFO made their mark. But more than anything, Taylor Swift stood out with her stunning wardrobe changes, many of which were totally new!
May 9 saw the first of three concerts by the artist in Paris. Another performance will take place in Lyon.
The singer displayed the slogan 'This is not a Taylor's version,' referring to her colossal effort to re-record and own versions of her music after the rights to her first works were sold. Fans suggest it's a clever nod to the French artist Rene Magritte's 'This is not a pipe.'
Taylor Swift's Paris show had everything, including a slight cabaret flair.
One of the biggest differences with her Paris performance and past Era concerts was the setlist. She cut several favorites like 'The Archer' and 'The 1' in favor of new songs from her latest album: 'The Tortured Poets Department.'
We're talking about today's most valuable pop star. As The New York Times recently noted: only The Beatles have more No. 1 LPs. Indeed, the pop superstar recently topped the Billboard 200 for the fourteenth time with the equivalent of 2.6 million albums sold.
One of her biggest strengths is her ability to turn her work into a sentimental autobiography that bravely exposes her feelings.
Taylor Swift's concerts are a display of pop's most flawless machinery: music and choreography on stage to be enjoyed in stadiums.
This is just more evidence that Taylor Swift is a force to be reckoned with, the reigning queen of pop today.
