In São Paulo, the shows take place at the Allianz Parque Arena, Palmeiras stadium and close to the Barra Funda subway station.
What can you take?
According to the official website of the event in Brazil, fans must take their ticket and personal documents.

Who does the opening show?
Sabrina Carpenter is the singer who performs as the opening act at “The Eras Tour” shows in Latin America. The artist was last in Brazil in May this year, for her performance that was part of the MITA festival lineup.
In Argentina, the interpreter of “Nonsense” It is “Feather” performed for approximately an hour before Taylor entered the stage.
The singer’s latest album is “emails i can’t send“, from 2022. Carpenter released an extended version this year, the “emails i can’t send fwd:“.
What is the performance stage like?
The stage of “The Eras Tour” has a catwalk that occupies almost the entire track, with a structure of lights and LEDs that can be seen from above. It is likely that the structure in Brazil will be the same.
Throughout the presentations, and with the release of the re-recordings of the albums “Speak Now” and “1989”, the singer’s fans noticed on social media that the stage has a key shape, which could be a reference used to “open” the vaults of your old songs (“from the vault“), included in his re-recordings.
What is the setlist for the shows?
The show is divided into 10 acts, one for each “Era” of the artist, as well as an acoustic set, in which she sings different songs each night. Taylor maintained a fixed setlist throughout the Latin American performances, also including two surprise songs.
