Thousands of fans flock to see Taylor Swift in Tampa

At Taylor Swift’s first show in Tampa since the ‘Reputation Stadium Tour’ back in 2018, fans were given a first look at new outfits for the first of three shows in Florida, at the Raymond James Stadium, which will see approximately 225,000 people over the weekend.

The sold-out show saw ticket prices of up to $7,000 which didn’t deter fans from flocking to Ticketmaster and dressing up for tonight’s show, the first since it was announced she had broken up with her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn.

The excitement leading up to the show

On Thursday, hours before the show, the Raymond James Stadium reported that parking for the show was completely sold out.

Fans began showing up in the area of the stadium beginning at 3:00 p.m. EST, holding tailgate parties, complete with bracelet-making and makeup stations, photo booths, and themed drink-making.

By 5:00 p.m. fans entered the stadium on what was a beautiful sunny day at the open-air stadium.

At 7:55 p.m. five minutes before the singer was scheduled to make it to the stage after her opening acts beabadoobee and GAYLE warmed up the audience, fans began recording a cleaning cart that made its way through the stadiums.

Swifites have begun a theory that the singer is actually inside the cart, as she makes her way from the backstage area to the stage, but this has yet to be confirmed.

New outfits revealed

During her ‘folklore’ era of the show, Swift sported a new green dress, asking fans: “I got a new dress for tonight, do you like it?”

She later unveiled a new dress during ‘Enchanted’, a song from the ‘Speak Now’ era.

For the ‘1989′ era, she sported a new orange skirt and top.
