Start times are staggered for each city, with local details available on the website. The general public on sale is Tuesday, May 21.

The tour features two multi-level stages, elaborate costumes, dancers, aerialists and changing sets. Swift moves around the venue and uses different stages. The tour has leaned very heavily on "Red" for material.
