What time does Taylor Swift's Eras Tour start?

Taylor Swift's opening acts vary throughout The Eras Tour so we recommend that you get to the venue with plenty of time to spare if you want to see who is supporting her. If you just want to see Taylor, we advise that you arrive an hour before she is due to take to the stage at 20:00. That way you should be able to get through security and find your seat before she starts.

Taylor's three sold-out shows in Vancouver, Canada on December 6th, 7th and 8th mark the end of the Eras Tour. So unless Taylor makes any announcements, she will likely take a well-earned break from touring when it wraps up.

Nevertheless, with 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)', 'Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)' and rumours of a 12th album in the works, anything is possible.
