EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW: ERAS TOUR 2024 ✨
HEY, SWIFTIES!
★
HEY, SWIFTIES! ★
IT’S BEEN A LOOOOONG TIME COMING. ⭐️
Oh, hi! 👋 I’m Reagan Baylee (self proclaimed captain of Clownelia Street) and I consider myself an Eras Tour veteran. I attended opening night of the Eras Tour alone on March 17th, 2023 and my life has quite literally never been the same since.
Since then I have attended two more shows (where are my LA N1 and N4 Swifties at?! 👀) and have another show upcoming on August 17th, 2024 at Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom. Aside from attending 4 shows, I have tuned into almost every single livestream and provide play-by-play updates to Swifties via my Broadcast Channel on Instagram. I’m also the host of Swiftie School Podcast, a weekly podcast where I keep you up to date on the latest Swiftivities, easter eggs, theories and beyond.
If you’re not already convinced, I also attended the Eras Tour Concert Film premiere on October 11th, 2023 where I gave Andrea Swift a hand written letter for Taylor and got a guitar pick from Scott Swift. 💖
I firmly believe in the sisterhood and community that come with being a Swiftie and hope to share as much knowledge as possible through this blog post so you can make the most of your Eras Tour show (or livestreaming experience) in 2024.

🎥 HOW TO TUNE INTO AN ERAS TOUR LIVESTREAM
There are several ways to tune into the Eras Tour at home. I know all too well how to difficult it can be to get tickets, so no fear - here are my top tips for watching the Eras Tour without tickets.
NOTE: all of these methods are unofficial and are NOT affiliated with Taylor Swift or Taylor Nation.
Social Media
There are several Eras Tour attendees who will “go live” on social media during any given point of their Eras Tour show. There are a handful of users who take the guesswork out of finding livestreams by putting them all in one place for you. If you prefer to bootstrap the process and find livestreams organically, I recommend utilizing the searchbar on TikTok. Simply go to the search bar > type in “Eras Tour” or “Eras Tour Livestream” > toggle to “Live” and scroll through the people currently live to see if there is a good livestream to watch (this only works during showtime). This is the least favorable option as I prefer method #2 or #3. See below! ⬇️
2. YouTube
This is my top choice for tuning into the Eras Tour for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the creator of @taylorswifthockeybro, Kevin, is hilarious. But more importantly, his livestreams are reliable and consistent with minimal commentary and a fun livestream chat you can join on the sidebar. This is my top choice because I can pull it up easily on my TV, laptop or phone while still using other features such as texting/scrolling socials.
3. Website
If you’re using a computer or a tablet, a super reliable source for Eras Tour livestreams is the website swiftstream.io. They pull all of the active livestreams from social media and host them on one server (their website) - **idk how it gets better than thiiiis*. 🎶
🌈 FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS 101
Hear me out: I’m ALL FOR the beads and DIY bracelets but your girl is busy and needs a cost effective and time saving solution. 🥲 I discovered the cutest hack using recycled fabric (from Amazon of all places?) and put together a tutorial here. My favorite part about this DIY is that the bracelets are size inclusive and adjustable. I ran into SO many Swifties at the shows who were frustrated with tiny bracelets not fitting and that’s no fun.
I put together all of the supplies I used on my Amazon Storefront linked here. If you purchase one thing, use THIS threading tool - trust me, your eyes will thank me later.
If you’re not in a DIY mood or would rather support a small business, I can’t recommend the Etsy shop Cat and Company 13 enough. You can use my code REAGAN13 to save yes, 13% off any purchase from their store. They sell DIY kits and pre-made bundles that you can customize with your favorite era/songs.
👛 WHAT TO BRING TO THE ERAS TOUR
This is for all my Type A peeps - I love planning ahead so you bet I had my purse all packed and planned weeks in advance. Most stadiums require a clear purse (with specific dimensions) so be sure to research this ahead of time. This is the bag I used and it worked great - the strap is super long and will fit a wide range of body types!
The #1 item I COULD NOT BE WITHOUT at the Eras Tour was my portable charger. It works perfectly and will fully charge your phone to 100% very quickly. I consider this a non-negotiable if you are using a ride share app after the show.
As for “nice to have” items: foldable flats (if you’re wearing uncomfortable shoes), tissues (if you’re a crier) and a carabiner for your friendship bracelets. You can find all those items here linked on my Amazon Storefront.

🪩 THE STAGE MAP AND THE VIEW FROM YOUR SEAT
I can take zero credit for the masterpiece that is this graphic from Swiftie, Vinoj - but it breaks down each era and where Taylor is on the stage throughout that entire era. Depending on where your seat is, reference this color coded graphic to figure out when you may be able to hold up a poster or capture priceless footage of Mother herself.
📸 BEST PRACTICES FOR TAKING PHOTOS OR VIDEOS
The most simple tip I can provide iPhone users (sorry Samsung friends) is to tap on your screen while recording/taking a photo and adjust the brightness by dragging the little sun that appears.
For videos: I have seen lots of tips surrounding changing your settings from HD to 4K and from 30 FPS to 60 FPS for higher resolution. Note that this WILL take up more storage so beware if you’re always running out of storage like me.
From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes, I gave my blood sweat and tears to this blog post. 😉 I cannot wait for you to experience the magic that is THE ERAS TOUR - be sure to save this post for later and comment below to tell me which show you’ll be attending.

Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it. ✨ You deserve it.
It’s another great day to be alive at the same time as Taylor Swift.
