If you thought your week was busy, get a load of Taylor Swift¡¯s.
First, there was a record-breaking night at the Grammys, one in which she also announced a new album. Then, a last-minute flight across the Pacific (one that you¡¯d better not be tracking) and a wintery welcome to Tokyo after the capital¡¯s of the season days prior. Despite it all, the 34-year-old pop superstar looked rested and relaxed as the current leg of her global Eras Tour got off to a rollicking start at the sold-out Tokyo Dome on Wednesday.
Hours before the venue opened its doors, fans (known as Swifties) gathered outside to admire each other¡¯s outfits ¡ª ranging from sparkly fringe dresses to pastel business suits ¡ª swap friendship bracelets and brave the formidable queue for tour merch. Bejeweled and ready to dance to bops from throughout the singer-songwriter¡¯s 20-year music career, the excitement of the crowd was palpable.
