Taylor Swift’s 1989 Tour is proving to be her best show yet.

Known for her amazing street style, famous group of besties, obsession with cats and amazing songs, everyone seems to have something to say about Taylor Swift.  Since releasing her first official pop album, “1989”, in October, Swift has been on the top of her game, pleasing fans and critics alike.  Since she is on such a hot streak, it makes sense that Swift’s latest venture, The 1989 Tour, is sure to be the show of the season.  Here’s The Pitch Online’s top reasons why you need to get tickets, grab your friends and head down to see T-Swizzle in action:

The award winning music 

You can’t turn on the radio without hearing a song penned by Swift, and there is a good reason-her latest album is incredible.  Ditching her country roots to make a pop album, the singer was making a huge gamble that payed off in a big way.  Not only did “1989” debut at number one on the Billboard Music Charts, but it stayed there for a historic 11 weeks.  Celebrated for its creative lyrics and infectious beats, the album has already won eight Billboard Music Awards, three People’s Choice Awards, an American Country Music Award, three iHeart Radio Awards and a Brit Award.  If you haven’t checked out the album yet, highlights include “Blank Space”, “Style” and “Wildest Dreams”.  Don’t blame us if you can’t stop singing them.

The killer outfits

In recent years, Swift has come into her own as a true fashion icon.  Known for her signature crop tops and matching skirts that hide her belly button, it makes sense that the fashionista would bring her A-game to her tour looks.  From a sparkly skater skirt with a sequin bomber jacket to a crystal nude jumpsuit, Swift shows she isn’t afraid to have fun and take fashion risks.

The amazing guest stars

Swift is known for her posse of famous best friends.  In fact, she recently released a music video  for her song “Bad Blood”(which broke Vevo’s 24-hour viewing record) that featured stars from Selena Gomez to Kendrick Lamar.  Known for being the world’s best friend, it makes sense that Swift would invite the coolest guests to cameo on tour by her side.  At a recent show in Detroit, not only did Imagine Dragons  join her for a duet of during the song “Radioactive,” but models Gigi Hadid and Martha Hunt graced the stage for a special performance of “Style”.  As if seeing Taylor rock solo wasn’t enough?

The rocking remixes

Great performers know how to keep a crowd interested.  Rather than perform her hits the same way we hear them on the radio, Swift changes up arrangements to keep her show fresh and exciting.  The singer performs her country hit “Love Song” with a pop twist, and mashes up songs ‘Wildest Dreams” and “Enchanted”.  Proving that she’s not afraid to take risks and have fun with her fans, Swift’s 1989 Tour promises to not only be her best work yet, but the show of the summer.
