Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour: Fan Fashion, Denver night 2 /  by Liz Brown

welcome to the eras tour!

Denver was amazing: one of the longest and best days I’ve ever lived. Thank you so much for your patience as I edited and uploaded these hundreds of photos of your lovely faces and dresses. You are so creative and I wish I could do this every day, forever.

xoxo Liz

Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour: Taylor-Gating & 1989 announcement Los Angeles night 6 /  by Liz Brown

I don’t know if I’ve ever been so tired as I was after this week. I walked over 50 miles and worked from about 2pm until 1am every day. But it was so worth it and I’ve never felt more like I’m meant to be somewhere or do something as I did during this summer, photographing Taylor Swift fans and their creativity and community. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I’d do this every weekend for the rest of my life and never get bored. Thank you to all the girlies who let me dance beside them and let me take a photo of them on their best days. ilysb <3

You know what song this is. <3

The security guard was singing and wanted to come over to trade bracelets, literally so cute.

1, 2, 3 LET’S GO BITCH on the outside barricade!!

The cardigan being celebrated during “Cardigan.”

This dude was running across the front of the crowd and hyping everyone up and if there are going to be men in my life, this is the only energy I will accept from them.

The area with the largest crowd (where most of these photos were taken) had cool seating options and Taylor was super audible—however, we couldn’t see anything. A few folks had the livestreams pulled up on their phones and screams erupted every time she walked out in a new blue outfit. As I was walking around later, though, I found this iconic projector setup. You can’t tell me Swifties aren’t ingenious—this is my Superbowl.

I knooooow folklore and evermore are two separate eras, but the outfits for them tend to blend together and there aren’t often enough images separate sections. <3

The two girlies on the last photo were taylor-gating while their kids were at the show inside. They used to be neighbors, but hadn’t seen each other in years, and decided that this was the perfect reunion. We chatted for at least 20 minutes, they shared their drinks with me, and the whole interaction was one of the most delightful parts of my trip.

I’ve typically divided each post by era, but I’m doing something different with this one, since I’ve got so many photos from before the show and during the show. We’ll have our intro (Taylor-gating in the parking lots beforehand), a verse for every era, a chorus (Eras Tour vibes in general), and an outro (the parking lot celebrations during the show). Thank you for letting me be a part of your best day.

the intro (Taylor-gating)

“You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.” Thsi group of gals was THE most fun. They had games with prizes, a cocktail menu, Taylor’s cookie recipe, and banners. 10/10 Eras Tour parking lot setup.

An interlude: Karaoke

Some folks set up a karaoke station by one of the gates and when I say I am obsessed! It was such a pure moment, girlies singing, other folks walking by and dancing and singing along. The joy it brought was tangible, beautiful, singable.

verse 1 (debut)

verse 2 (fearless)

verse 3 (Speak Now)

verse 4 (red)

verse 5 (1989)

Chorus (the Eras Tour)

verse 6 (reputation)

verse 7 (Lover)

Verse 8 (folklore)

Verse 9 (evermore)

verse 10 (midnights)

Outro (parking lot celebration)

These two took off running shortly after I took this photo; we watched them, curious, and saw them run up the hill and into the venue—our whole section internally cheering for their success!

long live.

welcome to detroit—it’s been waiting for you!

I was talking to some new friends last night about how special this project has been: I get to bear witness to people’s best days, to document their best dresses, and to see firsthand their fearless determination to make it to these shows. There’s so much hard work and camaraderie and joy that lead into this spaces and I get to be a fly on the wall for all this beauty. Every time, both in photographing these days and in writing about them, I tear up because this is so special. It’s the intersection of fashion, music, community—all my favorite things—and I could do this forever. Thank you so much for trusting me with your faces, you stories, your best days.
