Taylor Swift adds 3 surprise shows in New Orleans for Eras tour

Taylor Swift is bringing The Eras Tour to New Orleans, but fans are going to have to wait a year.

Driving the news: The pop star announced Thursday she will do shows on three consecutive nights at the Caesars Superdome on Oct. 25-27, 2024.

What's happening: Verified fan registration is open now, Swift tweeted, and tickets will go on sale Wednesday via Ticketmaster for registered fans only.

• Register here for free. Once registered, you'll either be able to buy tickets next week or be put on the waitlist.
• You can buy up to four tickets per registered account.

Zoom in: Swift originally skipped New Orleans because Superdome officials said they couldn't accommodate the dates due to ongoing renovations at the facility.

• Her last New Orleans show was in 2018 for the "Reputation" tour.

Worth noting: Swift also added shows in Miami, Indianapolis and Toronto.

• Gracie Abrams will open for Swift at the Superdome.

The big picture: Swift's Eras Tour was already on pace to be one of the highest-grossing — if not the highest-grossing — tours of all time.

• Her two-night stay in Denver in July was expected to bring in $140 million to Colorado's gross domestic product, Axios' Alayna Alvarez reported.
• Now, with the three nights each in New Orleans, Miami and Indianapolis, along with five in Toronto, the Swift-onomics wealth will spread even farther.
