Last night was the first night of Taylor Swift's Reputation tour, which promises to be one of the summer's big pop spectacles. Swift played at the University Of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and as previously announced, she brought along Charli XCX and Camila Cabello as openers.
In her brief opening set, it seems that Charli XCX stayed away from her recent PC Music-influenced meta-pop experiments, sticking with her proven hits: "Boys," "Boom Clap," Icona Pop's "I Love It," Iggy Azalea's "Fancy." But she did debut a new song, a bass-heavy and trap-influenced midtempo jam that might be called "Five In The Morning." Here's a fan-made video:

And while Swift didn't have any unannounced superstar-musician cameos, the way she did during every night of her 1989 tour, there was a pre-taped cameo from the comedian and movie star Tiffany Haddish, who hosted the episode of SNL where Swift was a musical guest last year. Haddish did the "the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now" bit from "Look What You Made Me Do," and it seems possible that Swift will have a different celebrity do that part every night. Also, giant inflatable snakes!

Swift's set was divided into six parts. She came onstage to Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation," and her set leaned heavily on songs from the last two albums, though she did dig oldies like "All Too Well" and "Love Story," sometimes in medley form, out of her catalog. Below, watch a few more fan-made videos from Swift's set and check out the setlists for all three acts.
