The singer’s release of “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” on Friday further illustrates her laser-focused vision. Taylor Swift performing the 'Eras Tour' in New Jersey in May. To bide my time, I’ve become quite attuned to “SwiftTok” and have regularly covered Swift for CNN Entertainment.
While I haven’t yet seen the “Eras Tour,” I managed to secure tickets to an upcoming August show in Los Angeles. The tour has created a social media-worthy breeding ground for feel-good moments, while the singer has hit some major milestones – both on and off the stage – along the way.įull disclosure: this CNN writer is a Swiftie. The “Speak Now” re-release comes amid Swift’s record-breaking “Eras Tour,” the extended culmination of a musically prolific five-year period for Swift after not touring since 2018 – despite releasing six albums since then. “That sense of her relationship to her audience as her audience changes, as she changes, while the music just stays as stellar as it has.” “(I’m) impressed with the fact that she’s able to sustain that sense of herself,” Alan Light, a music journalist, author and former Rolling Stone critic who has covered Swift since the early days of her burgeoning career, told CNN in an interview. It’s that kind of fluidity and rapid response she has with her fans that has helped Swift thrive, and maintain her unparalleled place in popular music. The tour is one of the highest grossing since records began, with Billboard reporting that it is the first to bring in $900m (£701,460m) worth of ticket sales.Last month, Taylor Swift told a Pittsburgh audience at a stop on her groundbreaking “Eras Tour” that “Cruel Summer” – her self-professed “favorite song” off of her 2019 “Lover” album – was finally becoming a single because so many people keep streaming it, leading to the track charting in the top 20 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart this week.Īnd on Friday, the throwback Swift love continues, when the beloved singer-songwriter releases her hotly-anticipated “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” album, a re-record of her 2010 hit album.
