Taylor Swift concert chronology |
The Reputation Stadium Tour was the fifth concert tour by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who embarked on it to support her sixth studio album, Reputation (2017). Her first all-stadium tour, it began on May 8, 2018, in Glendale, Arizona, and concluded on November 21, 2018, in Tokyo, Japan. The tour encompassed 53 shows and visited 7 countries in total.
The set list consisted mostly of the songs from Reputation and some from Swift's other albums. The stage incorporated prominent snake motifs and imagery as decoration, reflecting the album's concept and Swift's public image. The main stage had a wedge-shaped display resembling a skyscraper under construction and was equipped with elaborate lighting, and two smaller B-stages were used for acoustic "surprise song" performances. The October 6, 2018, show at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, was recorded and released as a Netflix original concert film on December 31, 2018.
Music critics commented that the production evoked Goth subculture and Broadway theatricality, praising the stage design, production, and wardrobe. They lauded Swift's showmanship and interactions with her audience that brought forth an exhilarating yet intimate experience. The Reputation Stadium Tour received 2.88 million attendees and grossed $345.7 million, becoming the highest-grossing U.S. and North American tour upon completion. It was awarded Tour of the Year at the People's Choice Awards, American Music Awards, and iHeartRadio Music Awards.
