Taylor Swift is getting ready to bring her Eras Tour to Stockholm. Fans in the United States are curious about how they can keep up with the tour from home.

The 34-year-old singer will be performing three concerts at Friends Arena in Sweden from Friday, May 17, to Sunday, May 19. The show will kick off at 6:15 p.m. local time, and Paramore will be the opening act. For those back in the US, Stockholm is six hours ahead of the East Coast, so Paramore's set will begin at 12:15 p.m. EST.

Swift is set to start her performance at 7:15 p.m. local time, or 1:15 p.m. EST. Fans can catch her acoustic "surprise song" section at 10 p.m. in Stockholm, which means East Coast fans can tune in at 4 p.m. to see which hits Swift will choose. The concert will wrap up 35 minutes later.

After a two-month break, Swift kicked off the European leg of her tour in Paris on May 9. During her time off, she released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. Fans were surprised when she returned to the stage, as she not only added songs from her new album to the setlist but also mixed up the order of songs, removed some tracks, and debuted new costumes.

The Tortured Poets Department set now occurs after 1989 and before the acoustic section. Swift added seven new songs to the album for this set: “But Daddy I Love Him,” “So High School,” “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?,” “Down Bad,” “Fortnight,” “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

After finishing her performances in Paris, Swift paid tribute to the new segment of the show.

She shared on Instagram her appreciation for the new Tortured Poets section of the Eras Tour, also known as Female Rage The Musical, and thanked everyone who made these memories special. She expressed gratitude to her crew, fellow performers, and band who worked hard during their break to create this surprise, especially for the fans in Paris. The excitement, passion, and love from the Paris crowd fueled her anticipation to perform it for every audience on the tour. Next stop, Stockholm!

The Eras Tour kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023. The European leg will come to a close in London in August, followed by Swift's return to the U.S. for the fall shows. The tour will wrap up in Canada in December.
