Place Friday for the first of three sold-out shows in Vancouver this weekend that bring her blockbuster Eras Tour to a close.
They were watched by dozens of police, but there were no signs of trouble early on, save for some fans having the difficulty of enduring the wintry night in outfits better suited to the dance floor. Swift typically performs for about 3.5 hours, playing songs from across her discography as she moves through various "Eras," each marked by set and outfit changes that reflect the albums.For instance, she often wears a ball gown for the "Speak Now" section and a snake jumpsuit during her "Reputation" set.
"It's very cathartic. It's an opportunity to kind of let loose, have fun and be free, and clothing really is central to identity — it's central to the expression of our identity," said Yoshizawa, a professor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, B.C. It is her first Swift concert ever, Sylvia said, adding that it was highly anticipated after nearly two years of watching the show on "grainy livestreams."Cassie Leonhardt from North Vancouver, B.C.,who was dressed in a shimmering red leotard, travelled the world to attend seven of Swift's concerts. She was attending both Friday's and Saturday's shows.Leonhardt confessed she purchased her outfit, rather than making it herself.
An estimated 160,000 fans, many of them international visitors, are expected in the city's downtown for the three performances.
