49 free Taylor Swift: the Eras Tour trivia questions with answers — music quiz, new questions added Sep 2026.
The Eras Tour started in Glendale, Arizona in March 2023 and ended in Vancouver in December 2024, 149 shows later, as the first tour ever to gross $1 billion and then $2 billion. Taylor Swift built it as a trip through every album she had made, ten acts in 3 hours 15 minutes, and the world responded with crashed ticketing sites, a Thai prime minister complaining about Singapore, a Real Madrid match moved for a second night at the Bernabeu and a photo book that outsold every other book of 2024. These 49 questions cover the announcement on Good Morning America, the 3.5 million Verified Fan registrations, the Capital One and UOB presales, the creative director, the choreographer recommended by Emma Stone, the act-by-act staging from the Lover cubicles to the Midnights cloud, the Tortured Poets rework, the surprise songs, the Los Angeles concert film that skipped the studios, the Disney+ finale, the Rio heat, the Vienna cancellations and the $197 million Swift paid her crew. Easy questions stick to the headline numbers; the expert tier asks about bonus-track variants and venue capacities. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss.

Q 01The Eras Tour opened in March 2023 at State Farm Stadium, in which suburb of Phoenix?
Glendale
Glendale. The city renamed itself Swift City for the opening weekend, and its mayor signed a proclamation packed with nods to her songs.
Q 02In which city did the Eras Tour play its final show in December 2024?
Vancouver
Vancouver. Fans inside the stadium streamed the farewell live, as others had all tour, so the crowd in the building was only a fraction of the audience.
Q 03Which was the only inhabited continent the Eras Tour skipped?
Africa
Africa. The tour was announced as just 27 US dates; demand kept stretching it, with extra nights added before a single ticket was on sale, until it ran to 149 shows.
Q 04Swift announced the Eras Tour in November 2022, soon after releasing which album?
Midnights
Midnights. It was the fourth new album she had released since she last toured, which is why the show was built around every era rather than the latest record alone.
Q 05Which album's tour was Swift's last before the Eras Tour, five years earlier?
Reputation
Reputation. She had a run of 2020 festival and stadium dates lined up to follow that tour, but the pandemic scrapped them, and three more new albums arrived before she could tour again.
Q 06According to her promoter's chief executive, which common ticketing practice did Swift flatly refuse for the Eras Tour?
Dynamic pricing
Dynamic pricing. Letting prices float with demand would have earned her far more, but the head of AEG said she told him no and accepted the smaller take.
Q 07Which card company's partnership gave US fans presale access in November 2022?
Capital One
Capital One. Its cardholder presale was due the same day as the fan presale, but when the ticket site buckled that morning it had to be pushed back 24 hours.
Q 08Which company's website buckled under the US presale in November 2022, leading to a Senate hearing?
Ticketmaster
Ticketmaster. Its parent company's chairman said it had braced for 1.5 million invited fans, only for 14 million visitors, bots among them, to turn up; in 2024 the Justice Department filed an antitrust suit against that parent.
Q 09What happened to the Eras Tour's US public sale, planned for three days after the chaotic presale?
Cancelled outright
Cancelled outright. Over 2 million seats had gone on the first presale day, which the seller called a one-day record for any artist, and it said too few were left to meet demand.
Q 10Left off the tour's first international dates, which country's prime minister publicly urged Swift to add shows there?
Canada
Canada. An MP had complained of a snub and Justin Trudeau asked her publicly not to pass the country by; a month later she announced six nights in Toronto.
Q 11Who opened the Latin American leg of the tour?
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter. When a storm wiped out her opening set on the first Sydney night, Swift brought her on mid-show for a duet instead.
Q 12Which band opened the European leg?
Paramore
Paramore. On the US leg a rotating cast of support acts changed from city to city, but in Europe the one band opened every single date.
Q 13Which football club asked La Liga to move a match so Swift could add a second night at its stadium?
Real Madrid
Real Madrid. After a rush for tickets to the first date, the league agreed to bring the club's home game forward a day, to the Saturday, leaving time to ready the stadium for an extra concert.
Q 21How did Swift rehearse her vocals for the three-hour-plus Eras Tour show?
Singing the set list on a treadmill
Singing the set list on a treadmill. She sang the whole show aloud every day as she ran, going fast for the fast songs and easing to a jog or brisk walk for the slow ones.
Q 22Which 1960s hit played over the countdown clock before each Eras Tour show?
You Don't Own Me
You Don't Own Me. Male songwriters wrote the defiant 1963 anthem for the teenage Lesley Gore, and only the Beatles kept it off No. 1; here it blared out as the clock ran down to showtime.
Q 23Which album's act opened the Eras Tour show?
Lover
Q 14A line in which Swift song set off the Eras Tour craze for swapping friendship bracelets?
You're on Your Own, Kid
You're on Your Own, Kid. Fans took one line literally, beading bracelets by the dozen to swap with strangers, and at the final show Swift called that the lasting legacy of the tour.
Q 15Singapore's Eras Tour presale was only for customers of which business?
Bank
Bank. Only UOB cardholders could buy in the presale, so fans scrambled to apply for its credit and debit cards, and the bank warned that the surge in applications would take time to process.
Q 16How were seats for the Tokyo shows sold in each presale round?
As lottery tickets
As lottery tickets. Fans applied within a set window and learned days later whether they had won the right to buy; only a small batch of extra seats was later sold first come, first served.
Q 17Which Australian state declared its Eras shows a 'major event' to penalise scalping?
Victoria
Victoria. Its cap on resale, 10 per cent over face value, only applies once an event is declared, so the state acted after a consumer group flagged seats relisted for thousands; next door the cap is automatic.
Q 18How was Swift wheeled unseen through the stadium to the stage before each Eras Tour show?
Inside a cleaning cart
Inside a cleaning cart. Fans pieced it together from their own videos of crew pushing a cart to the stage, and her tour book later confirmed it with a photo of her sitting inside.
Q 19Which Eras Tour workers famously got $100,000 bonuses each?
Truck drivers
Truck drivers. About 50 of them hauled the show from city to city; each cheque came with a handwritten letter, and their boss called it life-changing money, enough for a deposit on a first home.
Q 20Which actress recommended the Eras Tour's choreographer after dancing her routines on film?
Emma Stone
Emma Stone. She had worked with choreographer Mandy Moore on La La Land; Swift then trained in dance for three months, wanting to be so over-rehearsed she could be silly with the fans.
Lover. She never got to tour the 2019 album because the pandemic scrapped its dates, and her tour book says she always knew that era had to come first.
Q 24In the original 2023 Eras Tour show, which album's act featured a moss-covered piano?
Evermore
Evermore. After playing Champagne Problems at the mossy piano she would stop and simply take in the crowd's ovation, which could roll on for minutes before she spoke.
Q 25Variety likened the Eras Tour staging of 'Tolerate It', a couple estranged across a long table, to which 1941 film?
Citizen Kane
Citizen Kane. The film charts a marriage souring over a run of breakfasts at one table; on stage Swift set places at a long table and pleaded across it for her partner's attention.
Q 26During 'Look What You Made Me Do' on the Eras Tour, who were the dancers in glass boxes dressed as?
Her past selves
Her past selves. Each dancer wore one of her old looks in a doll-style display box, a nod to the song's video, in which she re-enacts moments from her own years in the public eye.
Q 27What did Swift hand to one lucky fan during '22' at every Eras Tour show?
Her black hat
Her black hat. It often went to a very young fan, along with a hug, and her tour book later revealed a secret: she had hidden her autograph in each one.
Q 28What structure sat on stage during the Folklore act of the Eras Tour?
An A-frame cabin
An A-frame cabin. A version of it first appeared in her 2021 Grammys performance of the lockdown album, and on tour she began the act lying on its mossy roof.
Q 29During 'Blank Space' on the Eras Tour, what did Swift and her dancers swing at with light-up golf clubs?
An animated Shelby Cobra
An animated Shelby Cobra. Each swing left a fresh dent in the on-screen car, right on the beat: a live replay of the song's video, where she takes a golf club to her boyfriend's sports car.
Q 30After each Eras Tour acoustic set, how did Swift appear to return to the main stage?
Swimming
Swimming. She put her hands together over her head and plunged into a hole in the floor, and lighting effects showed her gliding beneath the runway before she emerged in a new costume.
