After almost twenty years in the music industry, Taylor Swift finally made her debut performance in Portugal over the weekend.
The talented singer graced Lisbon with her presence, treating fans to an unforgettable experience during The Eras Tour. With two consecutive sold-out shows at Estรกdio da Luz in Portugal’s capital city, Taylor Swift left a lasting impression. The weekend was so remarkable for Swift that she has already made a promise to return in the future.
“When I stepped onto this stage for the first time, at the start of the show, and saw this crowd, you simply took my breath away,” expressed Swift, as she addressed a lively and packed audience of 64,000 during the opening show on Friday night. “My heart was racing with excitement. You made me feel incredibly fortunate to be here with all of you tonight. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for attending this show.”
Swift, renowned for her genuine bond with dedicated fans and her heartfelt appreciation for those who pack her concerts, treated the audience in Lisbon to a truly unforgettable experience. The tickets for the Lisbon shows were snapped up within a remarkable 2.5 hours after going on sale last July. The concert itself lasted for an impressive three hours and fifteen minutes, starting at 8:15 p.m. and culminating in a mesmerizing fireworks display over the outdoor arena. Swift concluded the Midnights era with an electrifying performance of “Karma.”

The European leg of the Eras Tour has undergone a transformation following the release of Taylor Swift’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” During the first European dates in Paris, Stockholm, and Lisbon, Swift showcased songs from the album. However, she kept the track “Fresh Out the Slammer” for a special live debut in Lisbon, as part of the surprise songs segment of the show.
Since she kicked off the Eras Tour in March 2023, Swift has continuously explained the concept behind the career-spanning tour. She aims to bring together all her favorite moments from previous tours and create a “grand adventure.” The Eras Tour will continue throughout Europe with Paramore as the opening act. The tour will include shows in various cities such as Madrid, Lyon, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Zurich, Milan, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Munich, Warsaw, Vienna, and finally return to London before moving on to Canada. The tour is set to conclude in Vancouver on December 8th.
Taylor Swift expressed her enthusiasm for the Eras Tour, highlighting how it allows her to revisit cherished memories of her past performances over the past two decades. She regretted not being able to bring her tours to all the places she desired, including Portugal. Swift affirmed her commitment to rectify this mistake, vowing to always include Lisbon in her future tour plans.
The early commitment of her fans can be attributed in part to the overwhelming response Swift received when she performed in Portugal. The crowd’s screams were so loud at times that they were deafening. Swift also received cheers for her efforts to speak Portuguese during the show. Upon taking the stage, she expressed her gratitude by saying “Muito obrigada.” Additionally, she asked for assistance from security to help distressed fans on two occasions.
During the Folklore/Evermore era, Swift was seated at the piano when the audience burst into cheers and applause that lasted for over three minutes. The outpouring of love caught her off guard, and she was visibly surprised. With her hands planted on her head, she exclaimed, “Oh my god. I love you.”
Itโs official, I left my ๐ค in Lisbon. My first time in Portugal and you all made me feel like I was right at home. Iโll seriously never forget the way you treated us, the overwhelming love and passion and hands in the air and dancing and how you screamed every lyric!! Muitoโฆ pic.twitter.com/4KFQzl7U0j
