Swifties of Madrid, your wait is nearly over. Following the release of her brand-new double album The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift has finally landed in Europe with the Eras Tour (the highest-grossing tour in history, we’ll have you know).
The tour kicked off in Paris last night and she’ll be heading to Madrid at the end of May. Got tickets? Lucky you. This is everything you need to know about Taylor Swift’s upcoming shows in the Spanish capital.
When are the Taylor Swift concerts in Madrid?
The global popstar will perform twice at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, on May 29 and 30.
What time will Taylor Swift come on stage?
The show on May 29 will start at 8pm, while the performance on May 30 will kick off earlier, at 6.30pm. Based on the timings of her first Paris show, we estimate she’ll take to the stage between 9 and 9.30pm on May 29, and between 7.30 and 8pm on May 30.
When will the concert end?
The Eras Tour shows tend to last over three hours, and some have lasted almost four. Depending on any surprise songs or guest appearances, the shows should end at around 12.30am on May 29, and 11pm on May 30.
Are there any tickets left?
Sadly both Madrid shows have completely sold out.
How much are the tickets?
Ticket prices range between €85 and €226.50, while VIP passes cost a whopping €589.
