Look what you made Taylor Swift do, Tampa.

Bay area Swifties are getting an extra midnight with their hero next year now that the record-breaking, industry-changing songwriter has added a more dates to her upcoming latest run of stadiums, which she’s billed as “The Eras Tour.”

“UM. Looks like I’ll get to see more of your beautiful faces than previously expected… we’re adding 8 shows to the tour,” Swift wrote last week. One of those dates is on April 14, the day before her previously announced April 15 show at Raymond James Stadium.

Beabadoobee and Gracie Abrams will open both shows, which require ticket buyers to register with a fan verification tool and be selected for a chance to buy tickets.

Billboard said that, “For the Eras tour, for example, fans who register in advance get first crack at tickets while those held onto tickets for Swift’s canceled 2020 Lover Fest shows received even higher priority access for the Nov. 16 on sale.”

Tickets to see Swift play Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida Friday-Saturday, April 14-15, 2023 start at $45.
