Taylor Swift resumed the Eras Tour while taking the stage for her first of four sold-out shows at the Tokyo Dome on Wednesday night.
While performing a number of her greatest hits in front of 55,000 fans, the 34-year-old pop star appeared in good spirits with a sparkly guitar in her hands and Swifties singing along to every song.
While she just arrived in Asia earlier this week, following her attendance at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, where she won made history for winning album of the year for the fourth time, the Cardigan hitmaker is reportedly set to make a mad dash to Las Vegas to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, face off against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
For her surprise songs, which are two different tracks that she performs, one on the piano, and the other on the guitar, the 14-time Grammy winner thrilled the crowd with Holy Ground and Dear Reader.
