Taylor Swift has officially begun her highly-anticipated musical tour, The Eras Tour, and on her opening night, she kicked off with a bang, as it featured a 44-song setlist as well as some never-heard-before facts about her song Betty.
During her first show in Arizona, which was her first live concert since her 2018 Reputation tour, she spoke about the songwriting process and how there is always running theme.
The Lavender Haze hitmaker paused her performance for a few moments to talk about move to create characters for the Grammy-winning album.
"So, sort of a recurring theme in my music is that I love to explain to men how to apologise. I just love it," Swift told the cheering crowd during the concert in Glendale.
"It’s kind of my thing. I love to tell them step-by-step, 'Here’s how simple this is to fix things if you just follow these easy steps that I’m laying out for you in a three-minute song.' I just love the idea of men apologising."
She continued, "And basically, this is a song about a teenage boy named James who was trying to apologize to the love of his life, and her name is Betty."
"[My songs are] kind of like journaling for you or something. [And] I wanted to do a different thing that I had done before [with Folklore]," the singer explained.
"You know, my albums have characteristically been, sort of, excruciatingly autobiographical where, like, when I put out an album, it just feels like getting some sort of live-streamed, public autopsy."
She added, "With this one, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be so fun to create characters and storylines? They’ll live in different times, and they’ll do all these things and fall in love and hurt each other, go to wars and all these things.’ So, I created all these characters."
The Eras Tour is a musical journey of Swift's glittering career as she will perform some past LPs.
