“I am thrilled to announce my next tour: Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, a journey through the musical eras of my career (past and present!) The first leg of the tour will take place in stadiums across the United States- United, with international dates to be announced as soon as possible!” the musician wrote on her Twitter earlier this month.

Swift also announced a slew of opening artists she’ll be taking on the road with her, including Paramore, Haim and Phoebe Bridgers.

Swift’s announcement also promised that international dates would follow.

Recently, Swift made music history when 10 songs from her new album, “Midnights,” landed in the top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 in a single week. Swift is the first musician to achieve this feat, according to Billboard.

The “Blank Space” singer took to Twitter to record her reaction to the news.

“10 out of 10 on the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I’M DOWN,” the singer-songwriter wrote.
