Prior to the tours launch tonight Swift took to Instagram to tell her fans that she has “never been more excited about a tour than I am about this one.,” as she teased snippets of her tour via her Instagram stories all week long leading up to the launch of the tour this evening including showing fans snippets of her wardrobe, her diamond encrusted microphones, telling all about the stage setup, and even showing fans how she will be getting to the stage on her ‘rocket sled,’ which will take Swift to and from the stage at each show. There is even a Reputation Tour Instagram GIF for your stories, just search @taylorswift in the GIF section of your Instagram stories.

Upon arriving to Swift’s dressing room tonight, Swift received a gift from Katy Perry of an Olive Branch to congratulate her on the start of her tour and end their feud. Fans were seen earlier arriving to the venue lining up hours before the gates even opened in their best Swift costumes, and Swift’s merch trucks were out for days leading up to the big launch of the tour tonight.

Upon getting inside of the stadium, fans explored the merch booths, their seating views, and also the drink that they were selling inside the stadium called ‘Call It What You Want Lemonade’ which was being sold for $8.00. Fans also spotted a special seating section within the venue called ‘Club Olivia’ which we are going to assume is for either VIP guests or friends and family of Swift. There is also a walkway from the main stage to the B-stages so that Swift can get to and from the stages for her performances.
