INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour will hit Los Angeles in August. Here's everything you need to know before you go.
Swift is performing six sold-out shows on Aug. 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9. SoFi Stadium is located at 1001 Stadium Drive in Inglewood.
The show starts at 6:30 p.m. The stadium said guests aren't to remain in the parking lots or outside of the stadium once the show starts.
On this tour, Swift is performing two (or more) surprise songs at each tour date, and with only a few songs left, fans are tracking which songs could be performed at their show.
Fans have also been speculating Swift could announce the 1989 (Taylor's Version) release date at her final Los Angeles show in 8/9. On July 27, right before her shows in Santa Clara, Swift's social media account was changed back to a Midnights-themed header and profile picture, leaving fans with just 19 days in the Speak Now TV era. Combining the 19 days of the Speak Now era with the date of the final U.S. show makes, you guessed it, 1989. This coupled with SoFi Stadium's tweet that included a photo of a lifeguard tower with 1989 on the side has fans hoping for another album announcement.
Is this theory only true in our wildest dreams? Well, we'll just have to wait and see.
