The Reputation Stadium Tour was the fifth concert tour and the first stadium tour by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, in support of her sixth studio album, Reputation (2017). It began in Glendale, Arizona, United States, on May 8, 2018, and concluded in Tokyo, Japan, on November 21, 2018. Her first all-stadium tour, it encompassed 53 shows and visited 7 countries in total.
The set list consisted mostly of the songs from Reputation and some from Swift's other albums. The stage incorporated prominent snake motifs and imagery as decoration, reflecting the album's concept and Swift's public image. The main stage had a wedge-shaped display resembling a skyscraper under construction and was equipped with elaborate lighting, and two smaller B-stages were used for acoustic "surprise song" performances. The October 6, 2018, show at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, was recorded and released as a Netflix original concert film on December 31, 2018; it has since been removed from Netflix for unknown reasons.
Music critics commented that the production evoked Goth subculture and Broadway theatricality, praising the stage design, production, and wardrobe. They lauded Swift's showmanship and interactions with her audience that brought forth an exhilarating yet intimate experience. The Reputation Stadium Tour received 2.88 million attendees and grossed $345.6 million,{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/touring/8489131/taylor-swift-closes-reputation-stadium-tour-with-345-million|title=Taylor Swift Closes Reputation Stadium Tour with $345 Million|date=December 7, 2018|access-date=December 7, 2018|magazine=Billboard|archive-date=December 9, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181209172637/https://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/touring/8489131/taylor-swift-closes-reputation-stadium-tour-with-345-million|url-status=live}} becoming the highest-grossing US and North American tour upon completion.

Background and development
Taylor Swift begаn the promotional cycle for her 2017 studio album Reputation with the release of the lead single "Look What You Made Me Do" on August 24. Concurrently, as reported by Billboard, Swift partnered with Ticketmaster for a "Verified Fan" program to prevent bots and ticket scalpers from purchasing concert tickets. The program, named "Taylor Swift Tix", allowed fans to purchase tickets in advance of the public on-sale by participating in activities such as buying Swift's music, streaming her videos, and engaging in miscellaneous "unique activities" to increase chances of getting a pre-sale access code.{{cite magazine |last1=Gensler |first1=Andy |date=August 27, 2017 |title=Taylor Swift And Live Nation Leverage Verified Fan Concert Tickets to Help Sell Music and Merch |url=https://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/7941947/taylor-swift-and-live-nation-leverage-verified-fan-concert-tickets-to-help-sell |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180520101102/https://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/7941947/taylor-swift-and-live-nation-leverage-verified-fan-concert-tickets-to-help-sell |archive-date=May 20, 2018 |access-date=March 6, 2018 |magazine=Billboard}}{{cite web |date=November 13, 2017 |title=Events |url=https://taylorswift.com/events |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171129111407/https://taylorswift.com/events |archive-date=November 29, 2017 |access-date=November 24, 2017}} Reputation was released on November 10, 2017, to immediate commercial success: within first week of release, it sold over one million copies in the US{{cite magazine |last=Caulfield |first=Keith |date=November 20, 2017 |title=Taylor Swift's Reputation Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8039679/taylor-swift-reputation-debuts-no-1-billboard-200-albums |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191227080725/https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8039679/taylor-swift-reputation-debuts-no-1-billboard-200-albums |archive-date=December 27, 2019 |access-date=November 20, 2017 |magazine=Billboard}} and two million copies worldwide.{{cite magazine |last=Levine |first=Robert |date=November 22, 2017 |title=Taylor Swift Schools the Music Industry Once Again, While Streaming Services Wring Their Hands |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8046278/taylor-swift-streaming-services-reputation-music-industry-analysis |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171130163201/https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8046278/taylor-swift-streaming-services-reputation-music-industry-analysis |archive-date=November 30, 2017 |access-date=November 22, 2017 |magazine=Billboard}}

Stereogum{{'}}s Chris DeVille deemed it a "hyper-maximalist" tour and "a perpetual gargantuan flex, a roving musical Infinity War that amplifies everything extra about her persona to an exponential scope" and added that it is designed to be "the biggest spectacle in all of summer entertainment". He also described the tour as "an oversized, high-tech touring Broadway production with a mostly tremendous soundtrack" and concluded that "when discussing the biggest artists of her [Swift's] generation, she's undeniably on the shortlist" and that the singer has ascended to the same "rarefied" tier as the "classic rock deities who've echoed across this venue [the Horseshoe] before her, able to keep commanding stadium status for the rest of her career".{{cite news|url=https://www.stereogum.com/2005090/taylor-swift-reputation-tour-review-columbus/franchises/the-week-in-pop/|title=Big Reputation: A Trip To Taylor Swift's Hyper-Maximalist Stadium Tour|last=DeVille|first=Chris|magazine=Stereogum|access-date=December 22, 2019|archive-date=April 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200411165509/https://www.stereogum.com/2005090/taylor-swift-reputation-tour-review-columbus/franchises/the-week-in-pop/|url-status=live}} Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone named the tour as Swift's "most astounding tour yet" and complimented it for giving "it all the vibe of a mass communion" despite aiming for "maximum stadium-rock razzle-dazzle bombast".

The Guardian{{'}}s Bob Gordon thought that "...Ready for It?" is "an appropriate and compelling opener". He opined that Swift made a "striking entrance" with "no elevation or descent, simply walking out from behind a curtain bathed in brilliant white light, in what was a real 'now I'm here' moment, as Freddie Mercury would once have put it".{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/oct/20/taylor-swift-review-tour-shows-a-star-and-reputation-still-in-ascendance|title=Taylor Swift review – tour shows a star, and reputation, still in ascendance|last=Gordon|first=Bob|date=October 20, 2018|magazine=The Guardian|access-date=December 22, 2019|archive-date=December 22, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191222131520/https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/oct/20/taylor-swift-review-tour-shows-a-star-and-reputation-still-in-ascendance|url-status=live}} Awarding the tour five stars, Roisin O'Connor of The Independent lauded the set-list and how it "transitions seamlessly from one song to another, crafted out of some of the best from Swift's canon". Also, she compared the tour to a Broadway show because the stage was "flooded with red lighting and dancers swing from trapeze with all the splendour of a Broadway show".{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/taylor-swift-reputation-tour-review-manchester-a8390456.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220526/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/taylor-swift-reputation-tour-review-manchester-a8390456.html |archive-date=May 26, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Taylor Swift 'reputation' stadium tour review: Dazzling pop spectacle from the star who doesn't stand still|last=O'Connor|first=Roisin|date=June 8, 2018|magazine=The Independent|access-date=December 22, 2019}} Lydia Burgham of The Spinoff defined the tour's Auckland concert a "theatrical, mega-production that somehow also strips down to raw intimate moments". Commenting on the set list, she noted that Swift "had the crowd aching for more with the commencement of every song, thanks to seamless transitions". Burgham highlighted the intimacy of Swift's acoustic guitar and piano performances that proved Swift remained "integral to her singer-songwriter origins". Burgham summarized her review by stating that "there may not be an artist in this lifetime who quite manages to connect to thousands of people on a rainy night as well as Taylor Swift can – and that's the reputation she will be remembered for".{{cite news|url=https://thespinoff.co.nz/music/10-11-2018/taylor-swift-reviewed-despite-the-snakes-her-reputation-shines-on/|title=Taylor Swift in Auckland, reviewed: Despite the snakes, her Reputation shines on|last=Burgham|first=Lydia|date=November 10, 2018|magazine=The Spinoff|access-date=December 10, 2019|archive-date=August 15, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220815094758/https://thespinoff.co.nz/music/10-11-2018/taylor-swift-reviewed-despite-the-snakes-her-reputation-shines-on|url-status=live}}
Variety{{'}}s Chris Willman wrote that the show "had plenty of fierceness, especially in the early going" but also the "pre-decedent Taylor on the line… the guileless Swift we remember from two or three skins ago", and commended Swift for using her two hours on the stage to "paint a rewardingly holistic picture". Willman believed that, despite the huge production, "we're still left not so much with dragons or defensiveness but in the endearingly earnest presence of pop's most approachable superstar". He further remarked that the acoustic performance of "Dancing with Our Hands Tied" proved that Reputation worked acoustically as well, without the "Max Martin-izing".{{cite web |last1=Willman |first1=Chris |title=Taylor Swift's 'Reputation' Tour Has Bad Blood, Good Will, Sex Appeal and Serpents |url=https://variety.com/2018/music/news/taylor-swift-reputation-stadium-tour-review-1202812123/ |website=Variety |access-date=December 22, 2019 |language=en |date=May 16, 2018 |archive-date=April 19, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230419195842/https://variety.com/2018/music/news/taylor-swift-reputation-stadium-tour-review-1202812123/ |url-status=live }} Randy Lewis of Los Angeles Times wrote that Swift gave "a master class in the constructive use of the modern technology that's allowed her to establish and nurture an exceptionally powerful connection with a massive audience." He underlined the use of light-up bracelets that allowed the attendees "to feel like participants, even collaborators, rather than passive observers" and appreciated the stage's resemblance to "a skyscraper in progress, with six crane-like contraptions stretching up above a wedge-like screen". Lewis summarized the show as "tightly structured for the most part, featuring elaborate production numbers that rely on video projection, eye-popping lighting and pyrotechnics, choreography and precisely coordinated interaction among the star, band, singers and dancers".
Reviewing for V magazine, Greg Krelenstein stated that Swift possesses "a rare gift of turning a stadium spectacle into an intimate setting", with the new persona the singer adopted on Reputation album cycle suiting itself "excellently to a show of this magnitude where she appears larger than life". He thought that Swift fully embraced her vast back catalog and praised her command of the stage—"whether plucking a guitar or leading an army of dancers" that showed that Swift's musical and performance evolution is an "absolute success". Krelenstein concluded that the pop star "delivers in every way to a mesmerized and devoted audience, re-defining what the modern stadium tour can be". Ed Masley of The Arizona Republic wrote that "there were many moments in the course Swift's performance that felt like she was playing to the back rows of the stadium by simply sharing with her fans", while complimenting the tour's production and Swift's connection with the crowd.{{cite news |last=Masley |first=Ed |date=May 9, 2018 |title=Taylor Swift 'Reputation' tour launch: Star shows stadium she's ready for it |url=https://www.azcentral.com/amp/584934002 |newspaper=AZ Central |access-date=May 10, 2018 }}{{Dead link|date=October 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Jim Harrington of The Mercury News asserted that the singer's vocal work and performance skills have improved over the years, and added that "her game is well-rounded enough that she can excel equally at every different aspect of the show."{{cite news |last=Harrington |first=Jim |date=May 12, 2018 |title=Review: Taylor Swift delivers a near-perfect pop show in Bay Area |url=https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/05/11/review-taylor-swift-delivers-near-perfect-pop-show-in-bay-area/ |newspaper=The Mercury News |access-date=May 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180512105422/https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/05/11/review-taylor-swift-delivers-near-perfect-pop-show-in-bay-area/amp/ |archive-date=May 12, 2018 |url-status=live }} Chris Tuite of CBS San Francisco wrote: "The only thing more prominent than the singer herself during her current costume-change filled spectacle are the massive, vicious looking snakes that symbolically appear throughout the set."{{cite news |last=Tuite |first=Chris |date=May 13, 2018 |title=Taylor Swift Delivers Pop Spectacle At Levi's Stadium |url=http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/05/13/taylor-swift-delivers-pop-spectacle-at-levis-stadium/ |newspaper=CBS San Francisco |access-date=May 14, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180514103134/http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/05/13/taylor-swift-delivers-pop-spectacle-at-levis-stadium/ |archive-date=May 14, 2018 |url-status=live }} Michael Tritsch of 303 magazine raved that the tour "broke new ground and set the bar high for future stadium tours", burning "its way into the history books".{{cite magazine|last=Tritsch|first=Michael|date=May 27, 2018|title=Review – Taylor Swift proved her reputation is worth all the buzz in Denver|url=https://303magazine.com/2018/05/taylor-swift-sports-authority-field-mile-high/|newspaper=303 Magazine|access-date=May 28, 2018|archive-date=October 3, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231003174749/https://303magazine.com/2018/05/taylor-swift-sports-authority-field-mile-high-1/|url-status=live}}

The tour broke multiple venue attendance and grossing records. The opening show at University of Phoenix Stadium set new venue records in both gross and attendance, topping Metallica's $5.2 million gross from August 2017 by almost $2 million.

=Critical reception=
The film received widespread critical acclaim upon release, with many critics labeling the film as "immortalizing" and "unforgettable". Commentators praised the camerawork from director Paul Dugdale for documenting Swift's "stardom", the crowd's emotions, and the production involved in the concert. Rolling Stone{{'}}s Rob Sheffield wrote that the film "immortalizes her best tour yet" and that the film shows off "the stadium-rocking spectacle without toning down any of her songs' one-on-one emotional intimacy". Describing the Netflix special as "the end of an era", Amanda Petrusich of The New Yorker opined that the film "will soon either be regarded as a museum piece or as a testament to Swift's era-defying longevity".{{cite news|url=https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/taylor-swifts-netflix-special-is-the-end-of-an-era|title=Taylor Swift's Netflix Special Is the End of an Era|last=Petrusich|first=Amanda|date=January 3, 2019|magazine=The New Yorker|access-date=December 10, 2019|archive-date=December 10, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191210005946/https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/taylor-swifts-netflix-special-is-the-end-of-an-era|url-status=live}}
Billboard{{'}}s Denis Warner stated that the film "illuminates the singer's power, dedication, and strength as an artist". He further stated that the film "allows you to get more of a feel of the singer as a performer – and experience just how delicately everything is staged" and appreciated Swift for giving "a gorgeous look into her [Swift's] world as one of today's greatest entertainers".{{cite news|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8491764/taylor-swift-reputation-tour-netflix-doc-review|title=Taylor Swift Knows All Too Well How to Put on a Masterful Performance: Netflix Doc Review|last=Denis|first=Warner|date=December 31, 2018|magazine=Billboard|access-date=December 10, 2019|archive-date=November 21, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211121160517/https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/taylor-swift-reputation-tour-netflix-doc-review-8491764/|url-status=live}} Decider{{'}}s Benjamin Smith called the film as an "intimate document of an impersonal event".
