Taylor Swift and her 13 nights in Latin America
In 2023, after a long wait, for the first time ever Taylor Swift toured in Latin America. There were 13 concerts (nice coincidence) of The Eras Tour in 3 different countries.
In August Mexico was the first country of Latin America as well as the first country of the international leg to receive The Eras Tour. The only registry of Taylor in the country before was in 2011, where she played some songs for a small group of people aboard the Allure of The Seas, while the ship was stopped in Mexico.
Taylor performed in Mexico City for 4 consecutives nights. In Mexico, people speak Spanish, so Taylor spoke these words in the concerts: Gracias (means thanks), Te amo (means I love you) and Ciudad de México, Bievenidos al Eras Tour (means Mexico city, welcome to The Eras Tour).
The surprise songs were:
August 24 – Mexico City: I Forgot That You Existed and Sweet Nothing
August 25 – Mexico City: Tell Me Why and Snow on the Beach
August 26 – Mexico City: Cornelia Street and You're on Your Own, Kid
August 27 – Mexico City: Afterglow and Maroon

In November, Taylor came back to Latin America to perform for 3 consecutive nights in Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, the second concert had to be rescheduled due the chaotic weather. It was supposed to happen in November 10th and it was postponed to November 12th. It was her first time ever in the country.
Fun facts:
In the first night Taylor wore new outfits for Lover Act: a pink jacket to perform The Man and a pink bodysuit to perform the other Lover songs (click here to see it)
Argentinian swifties made a project where they held a paper written "We will stay" while Taylor was performing The Archer
In Argentina, people speak Spanish, so Taylor spoke some words in the language. Instead of saying "Hi!" in the beginning of the concert, Taylor said "¡Hola!". Taylor also said: Te amo (means I love you), "Buenos Aires, Bievenidos al Eras Tour" (means Buenos Aires, welcome to The Eras Tour), and "Do you happen to have diez minutos?" (diez minutos means ten minutes) before playing All Too Well (Ten Minute Version).
The surprise songs were:
November 9 - Buenos Aires: The Very First Night and Labyrinth
November 11 - Buenos Aires: Is It Over Now? + Out Of The Woods (mashup) and End Game
November 12 - Buenos Aires: Better Than Revenge and "Slut!"

In the same month, Taylor travelled to Brazil to perform 6 concerts. It was her second time in the country. In 2012 Taylor have been in Rio de Janeiro to play for a small group of fans in a pocket show. She also released a Long Live version featuring Paula Fernandes, a Brazilian singer who sang a part of the song in Portuguese. Taylor and Paula played the song together at the pocket show.
Brazil was the country in Latin America to receive the biggest number of concerts of The Eras Tour as well as the only country in Latin America to receive The Eras Tour in 2 different cities: São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Taylor was supposed to performe for 3 consecutives nights in Rio de Janeiro. However, the second concert had to be rescheduled due to the atypical weather. It was supposed to happen in November 18th and it was postponed to November 20th. On the following weekend, she performed for 3 consecutives nights in São Paulo.
Fun facts:
It rained on the second show in Rio de Janeiro
On the third show in Rio, Taylor's shoe heel broke, she threw to the crowd and a fan grabbed it and took it to home
Kaya Scodelario (actress) attended in the last show in Rio de Janeiro
Paula Fernandes attended in the last show in São Paulo
Brazilian swifties made a project where with their cellphones they formed the Brazilian flag at the crowd (click here to watch a video)
Taylor Swift was honored with a projection on Christ The Reedemer statue. No other international artist was honored with projection on the statue before. Brazilian swifties put a lot of effort to make it happen. Also, a lot of swifties participated in a fund rising connect with the Catholic church of Rio de Janeiro that is responsable for the Christ statue
In Brazil people speak Portuguese. Taylor spoke these words in the language: Olá (means hi), Rio, bem-vindos a Eras Tour! And São Paulo, bem-vindos a The Eras Tour! (means welcome to The Eras Tour), obrigada (means thank you), eu te amo (means I love you).
Sadly, a beautiful soul was lost at the first show in Rio de Janeiro. Ana Clara Benevides was a Brazilian swiftie who travelled from another state to Rio and was looking forward for her first Taylor's show. You will always be remembered! (Click here to know more about Ana)
The surprise songs were:
November 17 - Rio de Janeiro: Stay Beautiful and Suburban Legends
November 19 - Rio de Janeiro: Dancing With Our Hand Tied and Bigger Than The Whole Sky
November 20 - Rio de Janeiro: ME! and So It Goes...
November 24 - São Paulo: Now That We Don't Talk and Innocent
