Taylor Swift's highly anticipated Eras Tour has resumed with a bang as she embarked on the South American leg of her tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The three unforgettable shows at Estadio River Plate left fans in awe and set new records, while Swift herself expressed her gratitude to the enthusiastic crowd.
Taking to her Instagram page, Swift shared her excitement about starting the South American leg of the tour in Argentina, calling it the "best decision possible." She praised the Buenos Aires crowds for their electric atmosphere and magical memories created during the three-night mini-residency. Swift expressed her gratitude to the amazing fans, who returned on Sunday after weather conditions forced the postponement of Friday's show.
Swift's dedication to putting her fans' safety first was evident when she explained the reason for postponing the show, citing the "truly chaotic" weather. While she loves performing in the rain, she did not want to endanger her fans or the performers and crew. However, she expressed her joy at being able to extend her stay in Argentina and promised an unforgettable show for the rescheduled date.
In addition to the resumption of her tour, Swift received exciting news on the same day as the Buenos Aires shows. She received six nominations for the upcoming 66th Grammy Awards, including nods for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for "Midnights," as well as Record and Song of the Year for "Anti-Hero." Swift joined an elite group of five artists who scored nominations in album, record, and song of the year at the prestigious awards ceremony, set to take place on February 4. Moreover, Swift also dominated the 2023 Billboard Music Awards finalists with nominations in an impressive 20 categories.
The Buenos Aires shows marked Swift's first performances on the Eras Tour since her successful four-night stint in Mexico in August. Joining her as support acts for the Estadio River Plate dates were "Nonsense" singer Sabrina Carpenter and Argentine musician Louta, who is also a Latin Grammy nominee.
Swift's return to the stage in Buenos Aires was particularly significant as it came on the heels of the release of her record-breaking Eras Tour concert film. The film has amassed a staggering $240 million in global box office revenue, solidifying its place as the highest-grossing concert film of all time.
As Swift gears up for her final six shows of the year, fans eagerly await the captivating performances and continued success of the Eras Tour. With her undeniable talent, unmatched stage presence, and record-breaking achievements, Taylor Swift proves once again why she is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
