The countdown clock appeared, counting the minutes until Taylor Swift took the stage at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens for the first show of the last leg of her Eras Tour. Swift emerged wearing an orange body suit and opened her set with “Miss America & the Heartbreak Kid.”
Swift’s excitement to be back touring in the U.S. was evident. “I get to play a sold out show for 61,000 people in Miami. You make me feel like … ‘The Man,’” Swift joked.
“Miami! We are so back! That’s right. The way you are treating me is starting to go to my head. You’re making me feel really powerful,” Swift said before “The Man” from Lover era.
