DETROIT, MI - Forget arenas. Taylor Swift's popularity is so huge right now, filling stadiums with 50,000+ people is no problem for the country/pop superstar. Ford Field in Detroit was no exception.
The mega star brought her '1989 World Tour' to Ford Field in the D. Her new album now features three number one hits, including her latest top single 'Bad Blood.'
Two artists took the stage before Swift. 16 year old Shawn Mendes just released his first album in April called 'Handwritten.' The album reached number one on Billboard the first week of May.
He's proof 'it can happen to anyone.' He used to post videos on Vine before he caught the attention of some music peeps and signed a record deal.
Shortly after Mendes, Australian singer/songwriter Vance Joy took the stage. He released his first album, 'Dream Your Life Away' in 2014.
It reached number one on the Australian charts and number two in Canada.
Joy currently has five top 100 singles on the Australian charts from the album. The biggest one is also a big hit so far in the U.S. called 'Riptide.'
Both openers sounded great and got the crowd ready for what would be a colorful, energetic extravaganza with a big surprise guest.
Taylor Swift is perhaps the biggest artist on the planet right now. She took the giant stage at Ford Field at 8:40pm before a crowd mainly of tweens and teens and commanded the show from the very first to
the very last note.
She opened her set with the first track from her '1989' album, 'Welcome to New York.' The stage lit up with a Broadway theme, complete with a catwalk which Swift used to walk through half of the crowd on the
floor.
The more than 50,000 people helped light up Ford Field with their blinking light wristbands they received as they walked into the stadium. It looked like a giant sea of stars, changing colors from song to
song.
Swift quickly and flawlessly went from one colorful costume change after another throughout the show. The elaborate sets behind her also changed from song to song.
The night continued with 'New Romantics,' also from her new hit album, followed by 'Blank Space,' one of the three number one hits from '1989.'
Swift didn't give fans time to breathe, going right into another huge hit 'I Knew You Were Trouble' from her last album, 'Red.'
She then told the crowd how important Detroit is to her. She recalled a big moment early in her career when she sang the National Anthem at Ford Field when she was 16.
Swift continued with four more songs from '1989,' 'I Wish You Would,' 'How You Get the Girl,' and 'I Know Places,' and 'All You Had to Do Was Stay.'
Earlier, Swift teased fans by saying she had a special surprise. She delivered by bringing out the lead singer of popular American rock band Imagine Dragons.
Dan Reynolds performed one of his group's hit songs 'Radioactive' with Swift.
After that cool surprise, Swift went back to singing more songs from her '1989' album with 'You Are In Love,' and 'Clean.'
Even though she has only released four songs from '1989,' most of her fans sang with her word for word all night long.
Swift took a break from her new album and took fans back to 2008 with one of her biggest hits 'Love Story' before going back to her latest album with the song 'Style,' complete with another surprise.
She brought out two of the stars of her 'Bad Blood video,' Gigi Hadid and Martha Hunt. The two walked the catwalk and hung out with Swift during 'Style.'
Swift continued with more songs from her 1989 album with 'This Love,' and her latest number one hit 'Bad Blood.' Fans probably sang the loudest the entire night during that huge hit.
Swift then grabbed her guitar and went into her famous breakup song 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.' She delivered a rough and tough performance of the hit,
as if she was singing right in the face of a boy she never wants to see again.
The night of colorful costumes and choreographed dance moves continued with the ballad 'Enchanted,' from her 2010 album 'Speak Now. Swift played piano on the ballad.
She finished the show with two more songs from '1989' with 'Out of the Woods,' and the number one hit 'Shake It Off.'
As the two hour production ended, and the lights came back on, you were reminded just how much Swift's fans love her with all of the homemade shirts and signs fans brought to the show.

When leaving your apartment is akin to stepping onto a high fashion runway, you know you’ve got to put your best foot forward. So on Saturday afternoon, amid a crowd of paparazzi and superfans, that’s just what Taylor Swift did. En route to Detroit for the fifth stop on her 1989 World Tour, the singer took to the streets in a seriously racy ensemble that consisted of a striped crop top, hot pants, sky high heels, cat eye sunglasses, and a yellow handbag slung ever-so-daintily over her left wrist.
We all know that Swift has a penchant for crop tops and short skirts or bottoms, but the heels are the real talking point here. How high can you go? The peep-toe platforms give the 5′10″ stunner at least five extra inches of height. Swift must know that this combo of short shorts and super high heels make her already long, toned limbs seem impossibly longer. What’s even more fun is the reaction of the crowd in the background. Are they surprised that their rouse of standing outside of a celebrity’s house and actually seeing her has actually worked? Or is it Swift’s killer look that has their mouths agape?

Taylor Swift performs in Detroit wearing similar shorts to the ones that she wore in New York.
Perhaps Swift, who spent the previous evening grabbing dinner with model pals Gigi Hadid and Martha Hunt, was inspired by their runway prowess. Or maybe she’s just feeling sassy now that she’s happily dating deejay Calvin Harris.
Whatever the reason, we say go for it girl, you look great!
Now as for those shorty shorts. Is it just us or was she wearing the same pair at her performance last night in Detroit? If that’s the case, Taylor, we salute your sexy new attitude toward rock n’ roll dressing.

Hey guys! I'm back Let me start off by saying Tay's 1989 tour is AWESOME as a whole.. I can't say the order the order of most the tracks, but I believe she did 19 songs. (The entire 89 album *omitting bonus tracks*, along with a few extras from other eras like (IKYWT, WANEGBT, Love Story, Enchanted) Also a special appearance by: Imagine Dragons (Radioactive) My favorites of the night were: ~ You Are In Love (Acoustic) ~ Enchanted/ Wildest Dreams (Mash Up * on Keyboard/Piano Most Emotional Moment: ~ The "Clean" opening speech.. Wow.. That's all I can say, just beautiful, sends shivers up and down your spine. Look up her words, so amazing My Highlight: ~ Getting to meet Mrs. Andrea Swift, such a beautiful lady.. Her heart is golden, it's not a wonder where T gets it from * and I was able to tell her as much.. Just so heavenly. I've never felt more loved by someone I'd just met in my life.. She almost moved me to tears a couple times, but I didn't lose it, she just.. Is love. That's all I have for you. In conclusion: The 89 tour doesn't disappoint. Is it the typical Tay show were used too? No, it isn't. * that's not a bad thing, the show's energy and intensity just matched her personality in my opinion.. She keeps coming at you for over 2 hours and never lets up. While I prefer the more acoustic side of performances * I'm partial to just T and nothing else* this show, while way different isn't so different that you forget who your watching.. Its still at its core, the same ol Tay and that's alright with me I love her, that's all I can say

Oh man Jeffery...that is so cool...so so very cool...almost dry ice cool.
I had to ping on the mention of "Clean" song...I looked it up and found this.
What an awesome number...she should do more preaching like this.
She always loved to explain the song before she played it.
No matter how flashy and big she can get from here.
She still has that one thing...above all else...a pure heart.
Even though we have all been through Hell...we are not damaged goods.
We all have the ability to be clean as a turtles belly...if we so choose.

I told her I knew Tay is was the way she is because of how great she is and I thanked her for sharing Taylor with us. I told her that I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for Taylor and she hugged me quite a few times * most the conversation is a blur though lol

That would be a great idea...have you noticed how everything that she touches turn to good...I say good because that gold has it's faults.
I am kinda looking forward to the next album with dread...I think that she should set out the next album cycle...that's just me.
Its time for a triple disk album of greatest hits anyway...she has enough hits and footage to fill 13 disks easily.

Aw Jeff...take a note.
When they go to kiss the side of your head...suddenly look their way!
That was awesome.
