Floridian Swifties, you have roughly six months to grab a nice dress and stare off into the sunset with Taylor Swift.

While in the midst of taking her critically acclaimed Eras Tour international, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the popstar to North America. Swift is set perform in Miami this fall.

The second leg kicks off with three dates at the Hard Rock Stadium from Friday, Oct. 18 to Sunday, Oct. 20. The Eras Tour, which began March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, has grossed more than $300 million and stimulated the U.S. economy.

Whether you've already locked down tickets or not, here's how to prepare to see Swift bejeweled on stage during her more than three-hour-long production.

Swifties, get ready to bookmark! Here's a countdown to Friday, Oct. 18:

Is there any way to get Taylor Swift Miami tickets?

Tickets to all three of the Miami dates for Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” sold out soon after they were posted via Ticketmaster back in September 2023. Resale tickets are available via StubHub and SeatGeek.

The catch? A majority of these tickets are sold above face value, ranging from $1,500 to $10,000 for seats.

Where is the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida?

Hard Rock Stadium, 347 Don Shula Drive Suite 102, Miami Gardens, will be the site of Taylor Swift’s concert.

The last time Swift performed at Hard Rock Stadium was on her 2018 Reputation Tour. Another tie to Hard Rock Stadium for Swift is that her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, won the Super Bowl there in 2020. Hard Rock Stadium is home to the NFL's Miami Dolphins.

What can I bring inside Hard Rock Stadium?

Hard Rock Stadium allows fans one bag that is clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and does not exceed 12” by 6” and 12” or a 1-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar). In addition to one of the clear bags noted above, fans may also carry in a small clutch bag or purse approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap.

Items such as smartphones, binoculars, and cameras will still be permitted into the stadium. This policy is meant to speed up the process of entering the stadium along with increasing security measures.

Throughout the Eras Tour, Swift has performed two songs, usually album deep cuts, not on her setlist at each show. With the start of 2024, the popstar said she will be repeating songs again.

Swift is coming out with 'The Tortured Poets Department' this month. Will 'The Eras Tour' setlist change?

There's no answer yet.

Swift's new album is slated to drop on Friday, April 19, weeks before she returns touring internationally. She is slated to be performing in Paris on Thursday, May 9.

By then, Swifties will know if her 11th studio album will earn its own section on the setlist or if it will be added to the list of potential "surprise songs." However, there's a solid chance one of the Miami dates will hear the song "Florida!!!" played.

Abrams, 23, is a singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, California, and is the daughter of director J.J. Abrams. She saw critical acclaim for her first two EPs — “This is What It Feels Like" and "Minor" — as well her 2023 debut album Good Riddance. Prior to Swift, she opened up for fellow artist Olivia Rodrigo on her debut Sour tour.

Abrams was also up for the "Best New Artist" Grammy but lost to R&B songstress, Victoria Monét.

What special dances or chants should I know ahead of time?

USA TODAY rounded up all of the special dances, chants and outfits to bring out during the Eras tour. Some of the top ones are:

'Delicate' chant

At the start of "Delicate," right after Swift sings "We can't make any promises now can we, babe? But you can make me a drink," fans have taken to yelling: "One, two, three, let's go b----!" The chant was popularized after a viral vine.

'Bad Blood' chant

In 2015, Swift came out with a remix to her hit song "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar. During the concert, fans repeat a line of Lamar's part during the bridge.

'Anti-hero' chant

In the "Anti-Hero" remix with Bleachers' frontman Jack Antonoff, he sings "Taylor, you'll be fine" after Swift sings "Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman?" in the second pre-chorus.

Fans are singing Antonoff's "Taylor, you'll be fine" at the same spot during the concert.

'Bejeweled' dance

A dance move created and made popular by TikTok user @mikael.arellano made its way into Swift's choreography. During "Bejeweled," when Swift sings the word "shimmer," flutter your fingers out in front of you.
