Baby, let the games begin.

Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" kicked off on Friday night in Glendale, Arizona during a three-hour show that ran through hits from every era of the Grammy-winner's 17-year career.

"Swifties," as her fans are known, descended upon the city in full Swift-inspired costumes and the location itself changed its name to "Swift City," according to the Glendale, Arizona website. Ticket sales for the tour even broke Ticketmaster, something the singer called attention to on Friday when she told her audience she felt it was safe to assume that it had taken "a considerable amount of effort" for them to be there.

Full disclosure: This CNN writer is a Swiftie. I managed to secure tickets to Swift's penultimate show in Los Angeles this August, but here are some of the highlights of her performance on Friday, based on social media posts from people in attendance.

Donning a crystalized corset and matching boots, Swift started her concert with her "Lover" era by opening with "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince," a track off the 2019 album, and then performed "Cruel Summer" for the very first time in concert.

While performing "Willow" and "Champagne Problems" from her pandemic-era album "Evermore," Swift asked her audience, "Is it just me or do we have a lot to catch up on?" It's a fair question, given this tour is the first for Swift since her "Reputation" shows in 2018.

Audiences were brought back to that era, when Swift performed popular hits such as "Delicate" and "Don't Blame Me" on a set where the "Reputation" snake slithered around.
