Swift has halted her show several times during her global tour to notify security about fans in need, aiming to help them promptly. The Eras Tour showcases advanced lighting designs and laser effects, with Swift emphasizing the extensive planning involved beyond just her performance.
Before starting her Reputation tour in 2018, Swift mentioned being profoundly affected by the bombing at Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester, which resulted in the deaths of 22 people.
