Swifties dress in 'Tortured Poets' themed outfits for Eras Tour kickoff in Paris

PARIS — La Défense Arena is crawling with tortured poet outfits as Taylor Swift begins the sophomore year of her behemoth Eras Tour.
Swift added her 11th studio era, "The Tortured Poets Department," to the set list after the record-breaking album came out on April 19. That didn't give much time to get an outfit ready for devout poetry fans like Sanne Wit.
"I am absolutely in love with the new album," says Wit outside the stadium in a black dress similar to the one Swift wears in the "Fortnight" music video. The Swiftie flew in from the Netherlands with her friend Lotte Lutjes to watch the concert.
"I make outfits all the time," says Wit, who only had about a fortnight to sew the black dress, "but I thought this was very suitable for France so that's why I wore it."
Seven of the 31 "Tortured Poets" tracks were incorporated into the new set. The singer dubbed the album "Female Rage: The Musical."

"I like how it's kind of a journey of her previous work with references from past albums," says fan Lena Valence, dressed in a ruffled and tulle black dress.
Valence is referring to parallels found in previous songs. For example in "So Long London," Swift sings "and I'm just getting color back into my face" as an answer to a line in her song "You're Losing Me": "My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick."
Valence added five diamond-esque bobby pins in the shape of XIII, the roman numeral for "13."
Other fans searched Etsy to nab last-minute tees like sisters Morgan and Kendall Kutzavitch. Sporting their white tees with "But Daddy I Love Him" in bold red letters, they anticipated hearing the track live.
"I was gonna wear an 'I Love Taylor Swift' T-shirt, and then I had this idea once "Tortured Poets" came out," Morgan says. When asked about her reaction to Swift singing the song Kendall jokes, "I'll be like, oh my God, my voice will be gone. My voice will be absolutely gone."
