Swift brings her tour to Tampa for three nights beginning Thursday at Raymond James Stadium.
Swifties descended on Tampa from all over Florida on Thursday for the first local stop of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. This is the first time Swift has performed in Tampa since the Reputation Stadium tour back in 2018. All shows have been sold out for months, with some fans paying upwards of $7,000 for pairs of tickets. The tour moves to Houston, Texas, for three nights on April 21.
