All the signs Taylor Swift is going to surprise Liverpool fans tonight with something special at landmark Eras tour 100th show
Taylor Swift is set to perform in Liverpool tonight at the landmark 100th show of her worldwide Eras tour – and fans think the megastar singer is going to do something special to mark the achievement. Swiftie mania has swept across the city as fans prepare for what is rumoured to be a very important performance.
From a new album, to a re-recording release, to a shock guest appearance, the Anti Hero singer’s devoted followers are speculating on social media about what could be in store later this evening. Rumors are mounting that huge stars such as Florence Welch, Lana Del Rey, or Sir Paul McCartney could be turning up on stage, or that ‘something will definitely happen’ at the historic show.
MailOnline looks at all the signs and fan theories that point to Taylor doing something special at tonight’s sell-out Eras tour performance.
The most obvious clue that the popstar is planning something special for her first Liverpool date, is that it is also the 100th show of the Eras tour. Taylor’s record-breaking tour began on March 17 2023 and since traveled through Europe, Australia, South and North America.
Now, she’s on English soil after completing a sell-out three-night run in Edinburgh for the 97th, 98th, and 99th shows. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their excitement, penning: ‘Why does the day before the 100th show feel like Christmas eve and why am I also terrified?’ ‘How am I gonna be at the 100th show on the 13th I still can’t believe this is real.’
‘The fact there will be casual fans attending the show tonight with no idea it’s the 100th show on the 13th.. meanwhile I’m at home having a menty b.’ ‘Happy 100th eras show on the 13th for anyone who is celebrating or fearing.’ The landmark performance also falls on June 13, which many sleuthing Swifties have taken as a sign. Thirteen is Taylor’s lucky number and it has become a symbol among her fan-base, who often write the number on the back of their hands when attending her shows.
In an interview with MTV News in 2009, the songstress explained: ‘I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks. ‘Also, my first song that ever went number 1, it had a 13 second intro, I didn’t even do that on purpose! And every time I’ve ever won an award at an award show, I’ve either been seated in the 13th row, or row M, which is the 13th letter.’ Taylor was born on 13 December 1989, which makes today her ‘half-birthday’.
Fans tweeted: ‘I’m unsure of WHAT is going to happen but the fact that the 100th show JUST SO HAPPENS to land on the 13th of the month AND Taylor’s half birthday makes it undeniable that something is happening. Nothing is a coincidence with her.’ ‘Not to add fuel to the fire but June 13th aka the 100th show is also Taylor’s half birthday.’
