Taylor Swift is officially on the road.
On Tuesday evening, the Gorgeous singer kicked off her highly anticipated Reputation tour in Glendale, Arizona. As you surely know, Miz Swift is set to spend the next several months on an impressive stadium tour, which had the University of Phoenix Stadium as its first stop!

Since TayTay has laid relatively low following her VERY public feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West, we know fans are itchin’ for information about her unapologetic Reputation show. So strap in, because we’ve got deets (below)!!!
As was previously reported, and teased by Taylor herself, Camila Cabello and Charli XCX are openers for the pop sensation.

What impressive opening acts!
Still, it was Taylor who totally stole the show, as she performed 24 numbers in total. Per reports, Swift’s set list included all of the songs from Reputation AND fan favorites All Too Well, Shake It Off, and Style! Don’t worry, we have snippets from the concert:

Unsurprisingly, boyfriend Joe Alwyn was reportedly in the crowd in Glendale — with Taylor pointing to him during her performance of Gorgeous (below). In case you were unaware, it’s said that the British actor inspired that particular track.

Awwwww.
And while sources say Taylor “couldn’t be more excited about the tour,” it appears that the hit maker has overcome a lot to put on this show. Before belting Long Live, Swift opened up about the “low” point in her life “a couple of years ago.” Clearly alluding to the Famous phone call with West (which was exposed by Kim), the 28-year-old told the crowd:
“A couple of years ago, someone called me a snake on social media and it caught on. And then a lot of people called me a lot of names on social media. And I went through some really low times for a while because of it. I went through some times when I didn’t know if I was gonna get to do this anymore and I guess the snakes ├óΓé¼┬ª I wanted to send a message to you guys that if someone uses name calling to bully you on social media and even if a lot of people jump on board with it, that doesn’t have to beat you. It can strengthen you instead.”

Oh snap! She’s truly embraced that snake status!
Nonetheless, we’re sure Taylor’s words resonated with the 59,157 fans who attended the University of Phoenix Stadium show. We weren’t even there and it moved us.
Congrats on a great first night, bb!
