FOXBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — …Are you ready for it?
Taylor Swift fans from across New England will flock to Foxboro Friday as she kicks off three nights of sold-out shows at the first NFL stadium the singer ever headlined.
Swift is scheduled to perform at Gillette Stadium May 19, 20 and 21 as part of “The Eras” tour. She will be joined by Pheobe Bridgers for all three nights, as well as GAYLE on Friday and Saturday and Gracie Abrams on Sunday.
“The Eras” tour is Swift’s first since 2018. Her three-hour setlist includes more than 40 songs from her 10 albums, including two surprise songs that are different for every show.
