There is a hydraulic escalator for the tour, which can carry 13 people and can be rotated up, designed, built and tested.
I shared it for half a year. There are 62 boards under the lifting platform for the stage to move, and the table top is paved with 5 1 acrylic board. Rotate twice per minute, and the rotating speed at both ends can reach 32 km/h.
The unloading of 27 trucks and the stage construction are the responsibility of the staff. Each city employs125-150 local workers to assist.
150 trolleys and containers need to be unloaded to build the stage. After the stage is set up, install the curtain. Taylor hopes that the costumes and scenes can reflect the story and meaning of the song. At the beginning of the tour preparation, Taylor had an overall visual sense. Taylor hopes that this tour will reflect her style and her clothes will be completely new. 1989 World Tour has 164 clothes. Taylor wants clothes to reflect her ideas, and clothes are designed according to Taylor's ideas.
The costumes of this tour used more than 3 kilometers of cloth, which exceeded the design and production time of 2 1000.
During the two-hour tour, Taylor needs to change clothes nine times, sometimes in two minutes. There are four dressing rooms under the stage for dancers, harmonies, bands and Taylor.
Travel will use: neon lights, LED lights, clothing and umbrellas, gold-plated photo frames, acrobatic ropes, movable doors, roof scenery, oversized paper planes and tambourines.
There is a large elevator under the stage to transport props. Sometimes dancers have to manipulate props to change the formation.
It takes 7 months for props to be designed, produced and tested. The tour will go to 365,438+0 stadiums, 52 performance halls, 2 music festivals, 55 cities, 65,438+00 countries and 4 continents for 8 months.
There are 146 people taking part in the tour. In each tour city, 65,438+020-65,438+025 staff were hired to be responsible for the loading and unloading of tour materials and the construction and demolition of the stage. A total of 26 trucks and 1 1 buses traveled all over the United States. It takes 1 hour to print each tour poster, and a single truck needs 12 posters, which is about 16 meters long.
Taylor applied the neon style to the design of the tour logo, and personally selected two pictures of truck decoration (each 13 vehicles). She thinks neon lights have the feeling of the 1980s.
It takes 18 hours to decorate each truck from drawing design, delivery and printing, transportation to pasting.
The catering staff is responsible for the daily diet of 300 people, and various needs should be considered when preparing the menu. For vegetarians and strict vegetarians and diabetes. There are always fruit and vegetable juices, snacks, biscuits, fruits, sugar, protein bars, oatmeal bars and so on. The tour bus has arrived, breakfast is ready, lunch is between 12 and 2 noon, and dinner is before 5 o'clock. The menu will be prepared several weeks in advance and the ingredients will be purchased locally.
There will also be specialties on the trip: steak, curry chicken and lobster. The touring dance took months to prepare and design.
20 15 At the beginning of March, Taylor went to Los Angeles to select dancers for the tour, and selected 12 from 500 people who submitted resumes. They have different styles: hip hop, B-boy, break dancing, parkour, modern dance and jazz dance, all of which are world-class.
Most of them have touring experience.
Dancers have to change 9 sets of costumes in a tour, and there are about 100 pieces in a single piece.
There are Taylor, band (5 people), harmony (4 people) and dancers (12 people). The band has 1 keyboard players, guitarists, bassists and drummers, and a drummer is in charge of both guitar and keyboard.
In preparation for the tour, the band rehearsed for three months.
The band will perform live, and Taylor hopes to adapt her hit list to make the tour more harmonious, and there is a new version of the song with overtures and extensions, which makes the live sound different from the album version.
During the rehearsal, Taylor will put forward suggestions and ideas, and the band members will keep practicing. In order to improve the performance quality, harmony should also design dance movements. During the performance, guests, bands and harmonies will learn new songs quickly. A few months before the tour began, we began to prepare formal goods. T-shirts, hats, bracelets and other items are represented. It is manufactured all over the world and then shipped to distribution centers. Three trucks, loaded with goods, traveled all over America. There are six transporters.
Communicate with the venue manager and the merchandise team about the shipment quantity, and then share and display the merchandise. Pick up the goods on the spot after pre-sale. Unsold goods will be sent to the next location.
