Swift told fans how excited she is about the overall experience of setting off on an extended tour around the world.

“All I do when I’m not on stage is sit at home and think about what I want to hear, like nifty acoustic song mashups,” she said.
Swift said the shows have been rewarding for her and thanked her fans for helping make the tour a success.
“When I’m not onstage, I’m dreaming of getting back onstage with you all!” Swift told fans.
She thanked the audience for investing in the concert in all sorts of ways, thanking them for arranging parking and transportation, memorizing the lyrics to her songs, and choosing the clothes she would wear to the event.
“As this tour reaches triple digit shows, please know that I appreciate all the effort you’ve put in to be with us. Thank you!”
