 It also papered over the main problem with Reputation, which — unlike the gloriously melodic 1989 — was marked by what seemed like a perverse dedication to shooing away tunes. But at stadium volume, the physicality of‘I Did Something Bad’ or ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ was like standing in front of a jet engine.  And the album’s one undeniably great song — ‘Getaway Car’, which sounds as though it has existed for ever — was simply gorgeous. The screens had locked back together into giant picture walls, and Swift was left alone on the huge stage. Just her and her fans, locked in mutual adoration.  |

 What's better than a Taylor Swift concert? Getting engaged after the show! Trevor Wilcox and Sabrina Ratchford are Louisville natives currently living in Michigan. They've been together for four years, and Wilcox said proposing to Ratchford at Saturday's concert at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium was the perfect plan because, of course, she is a huge Taylor Swift fan. |

Taylor Swift has delivered a heartfelt message in honor of the victims of last year’s Manchester bombing.  “You’ve shown that you’re never gonna let anyone forget about those victims. And you’ve shown that you have such incredible resilience to keep dancing and to keep the innocence and to keep the joy and to keep the joy,” the pop star, 28, told the crowd at the first U.K. show of her smash Reputation Stadium Tour.  “I just want to say, Manchester: It is such an honor to play for you tonight,” Swift added before she launched into an acoustic performance of her song “Dancing with Our Hands Tied.” |

 Swift, arguably the biggest pop star of the decade, appeared here in support of her most recent album, Reputation, from 2017, on which the singer spends at least some of her time exploring how others perceive her.  On “Call It What You Want,” Swift took aim at these various critics. “All the liars are calling me one,” she belted. As she sang, a series of words that Swift has seen attached to her name on social media and elsewhere appeared onscreen: “fake,” “squad,” “drama,” “snake.”  The word “snake,” which informed the evening’s theme, sprung from a Snapchat post in which Kim Kardashian labeled Swift a snake — an extension of a running tiff with Kardashian’s husband, rapper Kanye West. And Swift didn’t hesitate to return fire here. |

“I don’t like your little games/Don’t like your tilted stage,” Swift sneered on “Look What You Made Me Do,” a reference to the spaceship-like contraption on which West has toured in recent years. She then pivoted: “But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time.”  In a prerecorded video that played during the song, comedian Tiffany Haddish portrayed Swift’s secretary. “I’m sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now,” she said. “Why? Oh, ’cause she’s dead.” If Swift was killing off a previous, perhaps more timid version of herself, it certainly wasn’t a first for the musician, who has made a career of reinvention, first emerging as a teenage pop-country balladeer and now stepping out as a colder, more calculating, black-clad siren whose songs build heavily around synth-pop and EDM. “Don’t Blame Me,” for one, shuffled along on a slinky electronic groove, while a booming ”...Ready for It?” included massive drops that landed with stadium-shaking force.  Swift is a polished performer, and she moved with assassin’s grace through elaborately staged set-pieces. On “Call It What You Want,” the singer and her dancers recreated an elaborate waltz at Jay Gatsby’s mansion, complete with a life-size fountain. “Don’t Blame Me,” in turn, played like a scene from the cult flick “Dark City,” taking place on a set that mirrored the steam-filled inner workings of a darkened factory and including mysterious, black-outfitted dancers who could have passed for minor characters from “Mortal Kombat.” |
