GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Taylor Swift opened her U.S. concert series with a three-hour tour of her career.
Swift kicked off the first concert of the 52-date Eras Tour with a six-song set from her album “Lover†on Friday night at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where the Super Bowl was played a month ago.
“I don’t know how to address the way this is making me feel right now,†Swift, who hasn't toured since 2018, said early in the show.
She ended the concert with a seven-song set from her latest album “Midnights," closing with the song “Karma.â€
In between she played clusters of songs from most of her albums — and just one, “Tim McGraw,†from her 2006 self-titled debut. In the end it took 44 songs and just over three hours for her to span her 17-year career.

After another show at the same venue Saturday night, the tour moves on to Allegiant Stadium outside Las Vegas and then AT&T Stadium near Dallas.
It concludes with two Los Angeles-area shows in August.
