If you’re a Taylor Swift fan, you’re in luck. The pop superstar announced it’s “not the end of an era” for The Eras Tour, and she’s bringing it back to the U.S.

But the bad news: She’s skipping North Carolina…again.

The beloved singer-songwriter didn’t make it to the Carolinas at all during her 52-date tour this year, but that didn’t stop local fans from traveling to see her iconic performances in Nashville, Philadelphia and even Las Vegas.

But next year, after her international leg of the tour in France, Spain and other popular destinations, Taylor Swift will be heading back to the U.S. to perform in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis before hitting the stage in Canada alongside singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams.

How to get tickets for extended Eras Tour

Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan system is being used again to get tickets for The Eras Tour, which is now open for fans through Saturday, Aug. 5 at 5 p.m. Registration is required, but does not actually guarantee tickets to the show.

Stage 1: When registering, you will need to create or sign in with your Ticketmaster account, pick your preferred show, and include your contact information.

Stage 2: After Stage 2: Once Ticketmaster authenticates your account, you will have the opportunity to get a unique access code.

Stage 3: The day before the sale, emails will be sent letting you know if you were selected for the “onsale” for a specific date or placed on the waitlist. If you are selected, you will then receive a unique access code to buy tickets. If you’re waitlisted, you may get an invite to join the onsale later if any tickets are left.

“We expect there will be more demand than there are tickets available,” Ticketmaster says. “Ticket availability is limited. Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis while currently available inventory lasts.”

You can find more information about the tour and ticket sales online at taylorswift.com.
