The crowds were so massive that road closures went into effect around Hard Rock Stadium. The intersection of Northwest 27th Avenue and 191st Street was shut down from 10 p.m. until at least midnight.
Officials urged drivers not going to the concert to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.
Meanwhile, fans inside the venue knew exactly what they wanted to hear from Swift.
“This show is a lot different from her past ones,” said fan Taylor Scott. “She put in some old songs to make some fun, but her stage presence and everything has just grown over the past years. I’m excited to see it.”
Saturday’s concert was part of Swift’s Reputation Stadium Tour, which is comprised of 53 performances. It began in Glendale, California on May 8 and is scheduled to finish in Tokyo, Japan, Nov. 21.
The tour’s opening acts are South Florida’s own Camila Cabello and British singer-songwriter Charli XCX.
