() I have so many things I've been dreaming up for this. If you look at the makeup of my previous music, as far as production elements go, there are a lot of live drums, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and live bass. And if you look at the landscape of ''1989'', it’s mostly synths and automated drums and these kind of big epic synth pad sounds, and key bass, and layered vocals. I have a very big band, there are, what, 14 of us, so what you’re going to end up with is more of a live feel in that it’s going to be filled in and more dramatic with more layers to it, but never to the point where it’s going to feel noisy or overcrowded."〔 Swift also acknowledged the challenge of playing to stadiums, stating that "the challenge with a stadium show is making those people in the very top row feel like they got an intimate, personal experience." The following month in an interview with KIIS-FM, she revealed that she knew what the stage would look like, as well as knowing that "all the fans seem to be saying that they really don't want any song (1989 ) left off the setlist".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Taylor Swift Gives Details On Her New World Tour )〕 The tour took seven months to plan before three months of music rehearsals, four weeks of stage rehearsals and ten days of two-a-days dress rehearsals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 1989 World Tour™ Stage Creation )〕 It travels with 26 semi-trailer trucks and 11 buses carrying 146 people from city to city. Additionally, about 125-150 people are hired in each city to help with the load in and stage setup.
