The first date of the tour would be in Japan in May 2015, and the shows in Australia would take place in November–December 2015. A month after announcing the first dates, Swift added further shows, visiting Japan, and Australia. Additional shows were held across the U.S., Canada, England, Scotland, Germany, and the Netherlands. The tour was set to kick off in Bossier City, Louisiana on May 20, 2015, and conclude in Tampa, Florida on October 31, 2015. Swift first announced the North American and European dates in November 2014. In an interview with KIIS-FM in December 2014, 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 left off the setlist". She acknowledged the challenge of playing in stadiums, expressing her goal for "those people in the very top row feel like they got an intimate, personal experience". Swift, as always, was heavily involved in the tour's planning and production design. For songs taken from her older catalog, she wanted them to fit in with the synth-heavy production of 1989 while keeping the "live feel" of live performances. In a November 2014 interview with Time magazine, Swift said that the set list would primarily consist of songs from 1989. Australian singer Vance Joy was announced to be an opening act, and tickets would go sale on for North American fans on November 14. On November 3, 2014, via her Twitter account, Swift announced the first details of her world tour in support of 1989. It was a commercial success, selling over one million copies within its first week of release in the United States. The synth-pop album was Swift's first album marketed as pop music, departing from her image as a country artist. Taylor Swift released her fifth studio album 1989 on October 27, 2014.

On December 20, 2015, Swift released a concert film entitled The 1989 World Tour Live in partnership with Apple Music. Swift's appearances with an array of special guests, meanwhile, attracted commentary regarding her new image as a pop star-having previously been known as a country singer-songwriter-and her sense of authenticity that she had maintained. It was acclaimed by critics, receiving praise for Swift's stage presence and connection with the audience. The world's highest-grossing tour of 2015, the 1989 World Tour sold over 2.278 million tickets and grossed over US$250.7 million. For many of the shows, Swift invited special guests onstage with her, including musicians, actors/actresses, athletes, and models whom the media called her "squad".
The tour began on May 5, 2015, in Tokyo, Japan, and concluded on December 12, 2015, in Melbourne, Australia, spanning 85 shows. For different shows, she incorporated a random song from her back catalog. The set list included songs predominantly taken from 1989, with additional songs from Swift's older albums transformed into a more synth-oriented production, to accompany the album's songs. She aimed to create an intimate experience for concertgoers, which she found challenging for shows held in stadiums. As with her previous tours, Swift was involved in the 1989 World Tour's planning and stage design. The tour took seven months to plan and three months to rehearse. She announced additional dates for Singapore and China in June 2015, and a final announcement of the third show in Melbourne was made the following month. Swift announced the tour's first dates in North America, Europe, Japan, and Oceania in November and December 2014. The 1989 World Tour was the fourth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, in support of her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014).
