Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is on track to make history as the highest-grossing tour of all time and the first tour to gross over $1 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported in June. And now that Swift has wrapped the first leg of the tour in the US, she’s gearing up to take her show abroad, with her international tour starting on August 24 in Mexico City, according to the star’s official website. With a nearly three-hour-long set list and sparkling costume changes, the Eras Tour pays tribute to Swift’s 13 albums and the unique styles and staging that accompanied them. Here’s a guide to every album era of her groundbreaking career. Swift, who was 16 when the album was released, sang hit tracks like “Tim McGraw,“ “Our Song,“ and “Teardrops On My Guitar“ with a country twang, and she graced red carpets in sundresses and cowboy boots. “I get so excited about these things because I love to dress up. But I wear cowboy boots so that when I walk down the stairs I won’t fall,“ Swift told Entertainment Weekly in 2007 about attending award shows like the Country Music Awards. The album earned Swift her first Grammy nomination, for best new artist, and a nomination for new female vocalist of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards. “Our Song“ made her the youngest artist in history to have written and performed a No. 1 song on the Hot Country Songs chart.
