It's the summer tour fans have been waiting forever for.

Ever since the release of her latest album, Taylor Swift fanatics have had their calendars booked for whenever their favorite singer is coming to their town for the highly anticipated 1989 World Tour.

Well, with much anticipation and waiting, the show is finally here and boy does it sound good!

After kicking off the show Monday night in Tokyo, we did a little searching for Swifties hoping to gather a sneak peek into the sold-out tour. Let's just say you'll find a whole lot of reasons to "Shake It Off" when she hits your neighborhood.

Warning: Spoilers ahead! 

1. The Set List: The majority of the show features songs from her latest album. After all, it is called the 1989 Tour. But fans can still count on classic favorites like "Love Story" and a slightly new version of "I Knew You Were Trouble." If you're curious to find out the complete list of songs, click right here.

2. The Fan Interaction: Just like previous tours, a few unsuspecting fans will get the surprise of their lives when they are invited to meet Swift after the show. While past experiences have been referred to as the T-Party or Club Red, this tour is all about Loft 89. We may not be able to score an invite to her New York City apartment, but hopefully we can score one of these precious passes.

3. The Surprise Guests: So many celebrity BFFs, so little time. Everybody knows the 25-year-old beauty has a long list of famous friendships. Luckily, many will be a part of every show in a pre-taped video airing during the show. Concertgoers spotted Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne and high school bestie Abigail Anderson on the big screen.

4. The Fashion Costumes: Slay, T. Swift, slay! Whether working flirty purple skirts, sheer sparkle jumpsuits, knee-high boots or red hot gloves, expect plenty of wardrobe changes in between songs. Don't worry, fans. Those blond locks are here to stay! 

5. The Special Speech: Concertgoers know Swift loves to chat onstage. But they may not be prepared for one of her most powerful speeches yet. "I just hope that you will look in the mirror and remind yourself of what you are and what you are not. You are not your mistakes. You are not damaged or muddy from your failed explorations. You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you. You are a product of the lessons that you've learned," she told the crowd before performing "Clean." "You are wiser because you went through something terrible. And you are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking. I now believe that being makes you stronger and I now believe that walking through a lot of rainstorms makes you clean."

6. The Gift Every Fan Leaves With: Yes, you'll depart any arena with amazing memories and plenty of pictures for Instagram. In fact, you may just make a new Swiftie BFF in the audience. But if you want something concrete in addition to your ticket stub, everyone gets a wristband that lights up at a certain point in the show. We'd tell you the song, but some things are meant to be kept secret.
