Behind the Scenes of The 1989 World Tour

Concert film [ ]

The 1989 World Tour Live is a concert film by Taylor Swift. It was released on December 20, 2015, exclusively via Apple Music. Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, the film follows the Sydney stop of Swift's fourth headlining concert tour, The 1989 World Tour. The show, which was attended by 75,980 fans, remains Swift's most attended concert to date.

Signs were displayed at the sold out Sydney concert on November 28, 2015, at ANZ Stadium which said "Today's events are being recorded and filmed for global streaming, and may also form part of a television program... for commercial and promotional purposes." Although there was no further information about what the filming was for at the time, there was speculation that it would form a DVD of the 1989 World Tour to be released once the tour concluded its run in Melbourne in late 2015. Later speculation involved an Apple Music Video launch, which was proved to be correct. Coincidentally, " All You Had to Do Was Stay " and " This Love " were added back into the show after having been left off the set list for several months. This makes the Sydney setlist identical to that of Tokyo when the tour premiered.

Taylor Swift - 1989 World Tour (Live 2015)

On December 13, 2015 — Swift's 26th birthday—she announced she had partnered with Apple Music to release a concert film entitled The 1989 World Tour Live in one weeks' time. It contains over two hours of concert, interview, and never-before seen backstage and rehearsal footage with some of the musical and surprise guests from previous shows. Celebrities making appearances in the film include Mick Jagger, Jason Derulo, Idina Menzel, Justin Timberlake, Wiz Khalifa, and Alanis Morissette. It was directed by Jonas Åkerlund. Clips from the film were later compiled for the music video for the seventh and final single from the album, " New Romantics ".

Promotional posters [ ]

The custom stage built for the 1989 Tour is one-of-a-kind. It was a classic catwalk shape that's 100 ft long but the center part could detach from the main catwalk. It a was semi-modular type design able to rise up and do a 360° turn, it permitted to get closer to fans, the technology was like a propeller system.

18 things we learned from Taylor Swift's '1989 World Tour' documentary

Taylor Swift’s giddy cries of “Please welcome to the stage…” are still ringing in our ears, but the time has come: After 85 shows and seemingly endless special guests, the 1989 World Tour is finally over.

It won’t soon be forgotten, though, in part because The 1989 World Tour (Live) documentary is now available to stream on Apple Music, giving broke Swifties who didn’t attend the tour a chance to experience the magic. But even if you did catch the tail of this comet, you still might learn something new from the documentary, which intersperses full, sparkling, neon-tinged footage from Swift’s Sydney, Australia stop with commentary from the star, and clips from other cities’ shows.

For those who don’t have Apple Music (or the 2 hours and 11 minutes required to watch the full documentary), here are 18 things we learned from The 1989 World Tour (Live) , in no particular order:

1. “Blank Space” is Swift’s favorite moment of every show

She loves playing the seductive serial dater who becomes obsessed with her boyfriends and then goes crazy. “When I wrote ‘Blank Space,’ I just thought, all right, if [the media] want[s] me to play this character … this whole image of the jet-setting, tragic mess, cool,” Swift said. “I’ll write a song from that perspective and see how you like it.” As we’ve known since 1989 came out in 2014, the song hit its mark: “It ended up being the biggest song I’ve ever had,” she said.

2. She didn’t bring special guests on stage just to brag about her squad — it was essentially a tactic to combat spoilers and keep an element of surprise every night

“Every person in the audience probably knows what costumes I’m going to wear,” Swift explained. “They could know the set list if they really wanted to, so I decided to start inviting special guests out.”

3. The remixed version of “I Knew You Were Trouble” she played on tour was phenomenal.

Okay, this is a personal opinion, but watching this funky, piano-heavy version of “Trouble” really might make you wish you’d gotten tickets to this tour, if you missed it. At least we have it on video …

4. She has Mick Jagger’s cell phone number (and uses it)

When Swift was on a hike in Nashville before that city’s concert, her dad called her. “I pick up the phone and Dad’s like, ‘My friend swears he was sitting next to Mick Jagger at lunch yesterday,’ ” Swift said. “So I text Mick, and I said, ‘Hey, are you in town? I’m playing a show tomorrow. Do you want to come out and sing “Satisfaction?””‘ He just writes back, ‘What will I wear?’ “

(We’re going to start slipping that line into every story from now on. “So I text Mick …”)

5. Losing the 2014 Grammy for Album of the Year to Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories inspired her to write 1989

“I ended up going home thinking a lot about everything,” Swift said of that 2014 evening. “[I was] thinking about where I was going, what I’d been doing. … I needed to change something. I went to bed, and I woke up at 4 in the morning and I knew what the next album needed to be: ‘I need to completely switch gears, it needs to be called 1989 … everything has to be different.’ “

6. Swift is the one who suggested Alanis Morissette “slap” her in the face while the two performed the line, “It was a slap in the face / How quickly I was replaced”

Her rationale? “Bruises heal, but the moment lasts forever.”

7. She pulled out all the stops for her special guests — including changing the color of the audience.

“We can program the bracelets to be absolutely any color,” Swift said. “So the first thing I ask them is, ‘What color do you want the audience to be?’ ” She’d be a great concierge in Panem’s Capitol, right? “Pyro is another option we provided for many of the guests,” she said.

8. She loves huggging Wiz Khalifa

“At the end of our performance, there was a hug that lasted for like four years,” Swift said. “I remember thinking, ‘I just don’t want this hug to end!’ “

9. Swift used beach towels and nail polish to explain the tour’s runway to her model friends

And Karlie Kloss secretly filmed the whole thing — including the excitement backstage.

10. Swift calls professional athletes “sports players”

“If an actor or a sports player wanted to come to the show, I’d invite them up on stage, because why not?” she said.

11. Her band can learn a song in less than an hour

And, given the fact that most of Swift’s artist guests got to perform their own songs with her, that’s a lot of different genres Swift’s band had to perfect. Kudos to them.

12. Justin Timberlake was slightly worried about the pyrotechnics

“Don’t you burn me, Taylor,” he warned.

13. Also, Swift thinks Timberlake is “our generation’s Frank Sinatra”

Hey, he does have blue eyes!

14. John Legend’s appearance happened at the very last minute

“John Legend happened to be coming to the concert just to watch it,” Swift said, “but in my head I’m like, ‘I know this show starts in 40 minutes, but I want John Legend to sing.’ ” And he did.

15. It was Swift’s idea for Miranda Lambert to emerge atop “a throne made of men”

“I was half expecting her to be like, ‘I’m not doing that,’ ” Swift said, “but she was so down.” Uh, yeah.

16. Swift got to be the sixth member of Fifth Harmony — just for a night

She had the girls teach her the choreography to “Worth It” in their dressing room, then borrowed one of Camila Cabello’s extra costumes to perform the song with the group onstage. “Camila says, ‘I have an extra costume. Do you want to dress like one of us?’ ” Swift said. “And I said, ‘Obviously.’ “

17. Mary J. Blige’s song “Doubt” really speaks to Swift

“It really hit me because I’m so doubtful of myself constantly,” Swift confessed. “No matter what I achieve … That song really struck a chord with me, and I remember thinking it would be amazing if I could ever sing that with her.” Reader, she did.

18. The end of the 1989 World Tour was extra emotional for Swift and her team because they hadn’t gotten sick of it yet

“We didn’t drag it out,” she said. “We didn’t wait til we got sick of it. We’re still in love with it.” And so, it seems, are we.

Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour: A Track By Track Breakdown

TOKYO -- It is here, Swifties. Taylor Swift' s 1989 World Tour has kicked off in Tokyo and not only are the 55,000 people at the Toyko Dome excited, but fans all over the world woke up super early to get their first glance at the show on the Internet (including me).

MTV News had someone at the show, giving us updates from within, while we scoured around for any bit of Tay we could scavenge! And from her sexy "I Know Places" costume to her hard rock version of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" to onscreen cameos from the likes of Lena Dunham, Selena Gomez, HAIM, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne, here's your look at Tay's tour -- one track at a time.

Let's begin, shall we?

'Welcome To New York'

Jun Sato/Getty Images for TS

Tay starts the show with "WTNY" in a glittery blazer. The dome is also a-glitter with light-up bracelets provided for everyone.

Here we gooooooo!

With her flock of male dancers, she welcomes the crowd, walking down a platform in heels. Behind her, a NYC-centric backdrop flashes like city streets.

"It's a new soundtrack/ I can dance to this beat/ Forever more."

"It's been waitin' for you."

Ummm... did girl just take her blazer off? Damn!

'New Romantics'

Fans really freaked when she went into "New Romantics," a bonus track off 1989 .

Let's all lose our chill together.

'Blank Space'

Aaaaand you know she couldn't get away without doing fan-favorite "Blank Space." (Although she didn't play "Wonderland.")

The blazer is back on!

"And you! Love! The game!"

'I Knew You Were Trouble'

"IKYWT" is remixed. She slows it down, gets sinister, almost channeling a Lorde-type vibe.

Plumes of smoke were thrown from the stage during the chorus.

And the colors of the bracelets were synched up to the show. During "IKYWT," they turned red.

We're only three songs in and it's a funeral for Swifties.

Gone is the purple skirt. Swift knows how to change outfits like a pro.

"Trouble, trouble, trouble."

'I Wish You Would'

Taylor talks to the crowd.

'How You Get The Girl'

Taylor switched into a pink dress, while her dancers brought out umbrellas for "How You Get The Girl."

The umbrellas light up! And there's more NYC imagery. The Brooklyn Bridge shows up in the background.

Fake rain falls onscreen as Taylor gets all cute.

Look at all those people!

'I Know Places'

Taylor quick-changes once again and she's off into "I Know Places."

That grunt doe.

OK, we're all on the same page about that growl.

She called everyone her friends.

'All You Had To Do Was Stay'

And then Taylor seduced us all with her crystalized blue eyes.

She's singing on the floor!

'You Are In Love'

She got on a stage extension and rose into the air for "You Are In Love."

It's acoustic and she's got the guitar out.

The crowd echoes her, just like in the recording!

She's wearing another crop top for this one -- this time it's royal blue.

Haim makes an appearance in a pre-taped video.

And so do her cats, Olivia and Meredith.

Now it's time for "Clean," and the visuals for the "Style" video are on. (Another hint that the video could've been for "Clean." )

And now she's lying on the cold, hard ground again.

'Love Story'

Swift brings it back to the good ol' days with "Love Story."

I'm almost certain she recycled her old outfits.

It's time for another outfit change and another song. It's "Style"!

"I've got that red lip classic thing that you like."

"Watch us go round and round each time."

'This Love'

She works a white, fringe leotard for "This Love."

"These hands had to let it go free and this love came back to me."

'Bad Blood'

Taylor is in LEATHER and singing "Bad Blood."

Again. Leather.

'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'

Swizzle turns "WANEGBT" into a hard rock jam . So badass.

I'm not worthy.

'Enchanted'

She goes right from "Enchanted" into "Wildest Dreams."

'Wildest Dreams'

The piano comes out for "Wildest Dreams."

Somehow she managed to change into ANOTHER sparkly suit.

It looks just like Karlie Kloss' Victoria's Secret suit!

"Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams."

'Out Of The Woods'

During "Out of the Woods," some giant paper airplanes flew out. You know, like Harry Styles' plane ?

'Shake It Off'

Time to dance.

Is it over already?

All of Taylor's outfits throughout the night.

Some fans get to meet up after the show at "Loft 89."

"The view that took my breath away...55,000 strong." - Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift ‘1989’ World Tour: Set list, costumes, the stage, the spectacle

Warning: If you’re one of the Taylor Swift fans planning to see a concert on her highly-hyped “1989” world tour this year and don’t want spoilers, look away.

But if you’re curious about how one of the savviest pop stars of our time puts on a massive concert (expected to gross about $200 million ) here are some scenes from the first tour stop. It kicked off at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on Tuesday in front of a 55,000-plus sold out crowd; immediately, details started pouring out on social media.

* The set list:

While Swift’s set list generally stays the same throughout a tour, she’s always one for surprises: As she’s acknowledged, most of her diehard fans — the ones that ensure she’s the only artist who can still sell a million copies of an album these days — have watched  the entire concert on YouTube months before they arrive at the venue.

“Everything we’ve ever done, every decision I’ve made on my last tours, I wanted to flip it and do the opposite for this one,” Swift recently told “Access Hollywood.” “You have to switch it up, cause people get bored — more easily in 2015 than ever before.”

[ What a single tweet from Taylor Swift does to your music sales ]

Judging from the lists that have cropped up on Twitter, Swift plays nearly the entire “1989” album during the two-hour concert. Her Nashville roots are long gone, as are the majority of famous hits from her first albums. Though she does go back in time for “Love Story” (the third-highest selling digital country song of all time); “Enchanted” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

For the record, Swift’s show in Tokyo started at around 6:30 p.m. in Japan, translating to 5:30 a.m. Eastern: But fans were eagerly waking up at all hours to find the details:

* The stage:

Swift will play many stadiums and arenas on the tour (which arrives in America on May 20 in Bossier City, La.), so expect it to look something like this:

* Costume changes

Swift promised the fashion would be epic this time around.

* The Katy Perry song:

Otherwise known as “Bad Blood,” the ultimate burn, and upcoming single.

* The Harry Styles song:

“Style,” naturally, also known as her current single.

* The show closer:

“Shake It Off,” of course.

[ Is Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ video offensive? That’s what people say, mmm mmm. ]

* The after-party:

Similarly to the “T-Party” and “Club Red,” Swift’s team invites the hardcore fans to a meet and greet after the show. Looks like this one is called “Loft 89,” according to @TSwiftOnTour , a fan account that tweets details from every concert.

Taylor Swift review – polished perfection remains accessible as 1989 tour winds down

Taylor Swift, ANZ Stadium, Sydney You can call it calculating or you can see it as Swift’s commitment to putting on a spectacular show. Or you can just surrender to the emotions

After more than six months of touring, Taylor Swift knows exactly what she’s doing, to quote from New Romantics, the final track of her indomitable album 1989 and the second of her live setlist.

On the first of her seven shows in Australia, the final leg of her world tour, there’s no pose held that isn’t obscenely flattering, no introduction that doesn’t seem scripted.

You could hold that up as evidence of her being “calculating”, the word often applied to her intense involvement in her public brand and career, or you could accept it as par for the course of being the biggest pop star in the world today: a visible, worked-for commitment to putting on a spectacular show that she upholds from the opener Welcome to New York to the crowd-pleasing closer Shake It Off.

Take the wristbands – given out on entry at ANZ Stadium – programmed to light up in time with her songs. It’s a sure-fire way to get tens of thousands of hands in the air, but it’s also a present from Swift to her fans, transforming the charmless, concrete dead zone into an infinite star-scape.

On the Mrs Carter tour of 2013 , when Beyoncé ruled the world, the sense was that she was the gift. Swift isn’t just accessible to fans; she works at a relationship with them, as you would an old friend you risk taking for granted. She thanks us for choosing her show over any other event Sydney has to offer: “I know there’s a lot of other places you could be”, as though any of the 76,000 people at her show had given serious consideration to the Supercross open or the short-course swimming championships on at the stadium complex the same night.

There are moments this “your friend, Taylor Swift” act wears a bit thin, like the coy disclosure “I put out an album called 1989” when we’d already heard at least three songs from it.

The video interviews of her famous friends extolling her virtues as a home baker seem particularly self-serving, a bid to shoehorn Lena Dunham and the Haim sisters into a set in which her “squad” risked going unmentioned. Even some of her most enthusiastic fans sit down as soon as Selena Gomez pops up on screen to chew the cud about what true love might be. (Disappointingly, she does not introduce a “special guest” tonight, despite much speculation as to who it might be.)

But the cynicism I feel at the start of her speech introducing Clean – about overcoming insecurities and negative self-talk and coming to terms with your mistakes – dissipates when I see the young girls hanging off her every word. There aren’t many celebrities with her profile and influence telling preteen girls that they are not somebody else’s opinion of them, that they are “not going nowhere just because you haven’t got to where you want to be yet”.

Pop stars don’t have to be good role models, but Swift takes her responsibilities seriously; there must be parents who are grateful to her for it. This earnestness extends to the rest of her performance as she mimes taking a Polaroid picture, winks at every click in Blank Space and flashes her eyes malevolently as she sings “I can make all the tables turn”.

She approaches her songs as her fans might lip-synch them alone in their bedrooms or (the older ones – and there are plenty of them here tonight, even without children as a cover) drunk at karaoke, all exaggerated gestures and literal interpretations.

There’s no doubt that Swift is a workhorse: the dance steps don’t come easy, and she leaves the flashy legwork to her all-male dancers. She seems much more at ease with her guitar for This Love and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and at a piano for the stripped-back take on Enchanted and Wildest Dreams.

The singles from 1989 receive the most rapturous reception from the crowd, not because they’re the best-known (she could’ve sung an early B-side and this crowd would have known every word), but because they’re the better songs. Over-saturation or snobbishness make it easy to forget what brilliant pop songs Style and Blank Space are: stylish, original, witty.

Swift’s performance tonight is a reminder that her clothes, her cats, her squad aside, it’s her songwriting that has won her enormous global fandom. Her great gift is treating love with such specificity – moving the furniture to dance (“is her apartment that small?” wonders my friend), driving at 2am – that it evokes your own experiences of it.

In Out of the Woods, giant paper airplanes circling above her, she sings about being in a snow mobile accident with Harry Styles; I think about an exchange in a burger bar in Melbourne. It was about my theory: once you’ve felt every emotion that Taylor Swift has sung about, life has no more highs or lows to offer you, and you keel over, spent. I ran through a lot of them on Saturday night.

Taylor Swift’s Version of ‘1989’ Is Finally Here

By Brittany Spanos

Brittany Spanos

It’s been a long time coming but Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) has arrived. This is the fourth album she has re-recorded of the six previously owned by Big Machine Records.

Swift announced 1989 (TV) in August during the last stop of her Los Angeles Eras Tour shows. The new version features five previously unreleased vault tracks, which includes one co-penned by Diane Warren. She worked on the other four with Jack Antonoff .

This is the second re-recorded album to be released by Swift this year, following the July release of Speak Now (TV) . The new versions of Fearless and Red were released in 2021. In between, she dropped Midnights , an album of all new material.

Quentin tarantino scraps film 'the movie critic,' which would've been his last, trump forced to see mean memes about him shared by prospective jurors, kelly clarkson's ex-husband denies 'every allegation' after lawsuit over $2.6 million ruling.

The success of 1989 set the tone for years to come: It became the second pop album in the 2010s to have five Top 10 singles, following Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream . It also won Swift her second Album of the Year Grammy, making her the first female solo artist in history to win that particular trophy twice.

Swift has yet to reveal when her final two re-records — Taylor Swift and Reputation — will be released. Eras Tour will kick back up again in November with a few dates in Brazil. In 2024, she will tour Asia, Australia, and Europe before returning for her final shows in North America.

Concert Review: Taylor Swift – The 1989 World Tour

Advertisement.

SINGAPORE — It was the pop music event of the year, and it did not disappoint. Once America’s most promising country singer, Taylor Swift has grown up to become, arguably, the biggest pop star in the world — thanks in no small part to her latest album 1989, which broke all sorts of sales and streaming records when it was released last year.

Hon Jing Yi

It comes almost as no surprise that her concert on Saturday night at the Singapore Indoor Stadium blew us all away.

Swift’s show was non-stop fun, pure and simple, which started with a solid 30-minute song-and-dance routine. The singer-songwriter knew just how to start the show, leading a dozen dancers in a rousing medley of songs from 1989: Welcome To New York, The New Romantics and Blank Space.

The leggy (and very lean) star strutted up and down the stage that was designed like a catwalk, delighting fans who had lined up along the length of the platform, many having dressed up for the occasion and carrying placards.

The concert was also a bona fide spectacle, with your predictable pop concert’s share of pyrotechnics, fireworks, confetti and lasers. Each member of the audience was also given a multi-coloured LED bracelet, which flashed automatically to the beat of Swift’s music, turning the entire stadium into a mega-light show.

And just when you thought you had seen it all, Swift’s catwalk lifted off the ground and revolved around the arena, bringing the singer closer to nearly every single one of her fans — yes, including those in the cheaper seats at the back — as she strummed her guitar and sang You Belong With Me, before switching over to the keyboards for another older favourite Love Story.

Almost all of the concert’s set was dedicated to her 1989 album — she sang every track except All You Had To Do Was Stay, and offered few nods to her past work. But when she did, she ramped up the arrangement to suit the 1989 sound: For example, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together featured an overdriven guitar riff (and a video that mimicked The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army).

Swift kept us entertained with her choreography, her many stunning outfits and her incredible stage presence. Yet, what surprised us the most was the way she was able to create a sense of intimacy in a sold-out arena of 9,000. In between her ballads, the 25-year-old thanked the audience for coming to her show, sounding genuinely grateful that everybody seemed to know every word to every one of her songs.

“When we are all in one room singing the same songs, it doesn’t feel like there’s so much distance between us,” the singer mused.

That is perhaps why when Swift sang and danced to her last song, Shake It Off — with none of the awkwardness she showed in her music video, of course — a mere hour and 40 minutes after the show began, we were not even close to being ready to say goodbye. One hopes she didn’t find it too easy to leave us, too.
