The singer acknowledged her new look (which also included a silver medal). Fearless dress and a black one midnight bodysuit with shimmering stars and a moon) during the acoustic set, after she twirled around in an also new pink and blue cotton candy-style dress and grabbed her guitar.

“I have a new dress for you and everything. I love it when you notice these things. “It’s the most beautiful thing in the world,” she said before singing mashups of “Tim McGraw”/“Timeless” and “This Is Me Trying/Daylight.”

At this point, the audience was still reeling with electricity Tortured Poets Department Set that included a rare surprise guest. When the opening notes of “Florida!!!” began – a very entertaining but expected departure from the typical setlist given the venue – the rumble grew as the audience dared to hope that Welch would perform. When she emerged from under the stage behind Swift, the screams were deafening.

Welch added an ethereal quality to it TTPD era as she walked across the massive stage, effortlessly shouting the name of the state in which she was singing.

Even though this was a surprise guest appearance, it almost felt like a regular part of the show, with Swift and Welch looking thick as thieves and exchanging cheeky grins while Welch sang the brazen lyrics: “So I did my best to to lay me to rest / All the bodies that have ever been on my body / And in my head they sink into the swamp / Is that a bad thing to say in a song?”

The Eras Tour is officially the longest tour Swift has ever done, which, she explained, is no coincidence. She performs a record-breaking 152 performances, which will have taken almost two years until her final stage appearance, as she is having “the most fun I've ever had in my life.”

And in these seemingly short 3.5 hours, Swift always finds a way to captivate everyone in the audience with this infectious joy, as if she were singing directly to each of them. Miami Night 1 was no exception.
