Not very often do you come across an artist that can sing, dance, play multiple instruments and emotionally connect to a crowd, all in one show. But if you are looking for a show with all of these aspects, then the 1989 tour seems like the show for you.

This past week, seven time Grammy winner Taylor Swift took her sold out 1989 world tour to Kansas City. The tour was such a large production that Grand Boulevard in downtown Kansas City was shut down due to the 33 semi-trucks and 20 buses that came with the tour.

When I pulled up to the Sprint Center, I instantly felt like I was in another world. Everyone is in a costume reflecting one of Swift’s lyrics. There are people in tutus, large light up signs and lots of glitter.

Swift opened up the show with the first track on her multi platinum album 1989.

“Good evening Kansas City! There is nothing I love more than a sold out Kansas City crowd, but we begin our story in New York,” Swift said.

Throughout the show, Swift made eight costume changes. For each song there was a different setup to help perfectly portray the story of the song. From the New York City skyline in the background during “Welcome To New York”, to the fringe costumes for “Shake It Off,” Swift not only sang the songs, but also told a story during her show.

Before each song, Swift talked to the crowd and gave speeches relating to the song. This gave the concert a very intimate feel. Swift made you feel like you are the only one in there when you are in a room with 15,000 other people. Swift played almost every song off of “1989”, and also added a few of her most popular songs off of other albums. Since her latest album, 1989, has a more pop feel than her other albums, she transformed her old songs to fit the feel of the tour. The 1989 tour is one that you do not want to miss. As I was leaving the arena, I could hear many different people of all genders and ages saying how much they loved it. Catch the 1989 tour’s last stop in the midwest in Omaha, Nebraska on Oct 9 and 10 at the CenturyLink center.
