After an exciting first night full of celebrity appearances and “Speak Now” specials, another crowd of Swifties is at Arrowhead Stadium for Taylor Swift’s second Eras Tour concert in Kansas City.
First, fans will hear from Swift’s openers, Gracie Abrams and MUNA, beginning at 6:30 tonight.
Swift is expected to begin her three-hour performance around 8 p.m. Typically, she plays two surprise songs toward the end of her set list, but it’s still to be determined how Friday’s release of “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) will alter the show.
We’ll be updating this file throughout the night.
Gracie Abrams’ set list:
- “Where do we go now?”
- “21”
- “Block me out”
- “I know it won’t work”
- “I miss you, I’m sorry” (new on Saturday)
On Night 1, Abrams came out on stage wearing a white, sequined “Speak Now” crop top and purple bow.
A few hours before the concert, the 23-year-old made a quick pit stop at Kansas City’s Josey Records to play a small 150-person show.
In the middle of her opening set at Arrowhead, Abrams said, “Happy ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ Day, everyone.”
She added a song on Night 2 that Swift had played with her in Cincinnati the weekend before, “I miss you, I’m sorry.”
MUNA’s set list:
- “What I Want”
- “Number One Fan”
- “Stayaway”
- “Taken”
- “Anything But Me”
- “One That Got Away”
- “I Know a Place”
- “Silk Chiffon” (with Gracie Abrams on Saturday)
American indie pop band MUNA followed Abrams on Night 1, opening with their song “What I Want.”
“I can’t tell you guys how cool it is for us to be here today,” lead singer Katie Gavin told the crowd. “Can you believe we get to play a show with Taylor, on this day of all days?”
MUNA also proclaimed their love for Kansas City and dedicated their performance to the LGBTQ and trans communities. All three members of the band are openly queer and many of their lyrics focus on queer love and finding safe spaces for LGBTQ people.
On Saturday, Abrams joined MUNA on stage for their closing song, “Silk Chiffon.” Abrams sang the part Phoebe Bridgers sang in the band’s collaboration with her.
