Bad Bunny has made it clear that his upcoming world tour will not follow the same format as Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour. The Puerto Rican superstar addressed fan expectations in a recent interview, emphasizing that his shows will focus on his latest album rather than a career-spanning retrospective.
The singer, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, explained his reasoning while discussing his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour. Fans had speculated whether his concerts would mirror Swift’s Eras Tour, which celebrates all her past albums in separate segments. Bad Bunny quickly dismissed the idea.
“First of all, I’m not Taylor Swift,” he told Variety. “I want to clarify now so that they don’t get so excited: It’s not going to be organized that way. It’s still very much a tour for ‘Debi,’ with some older songs sprinkled in.”
His tour kicks off on November 21 in the Dominican Republic before moving through Latin America, Europe, and Australia. Unlike Swift’s tour, which revisits her entire discography, Bad Bunny’s shows will primarily highlight his latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, with a few past hits included.
The Eras Tour became the highest-grossing tour in history, earning over $2 billion in ticket sales. Swift’s shows are divided into sections representing each of her albums, creating a nostalgic experience for fans. Bad Bunny, however, wants his tour to focus on the present.
Before his world tour, Bad Bunny will perform a 30-date residency in Puerto Rico titled No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí (I Don’t Want to Leave Here). The residency reflects his deep connection to his homeland.
“Before the residency, my fantasy for the longest time was to do a massive free show in Puerto Rico that could be locals only,” he said. “And if it were up to me, all of the shows for the locals would be free, but what we’ve got planned now is next level.”
The singer also explained why he isn’t touring the U.S. this time. His response was short and direct: “It’s unnecessary.” Instead, he is prioritizing international markets, including first-time stops in Japan, Australia, and Brazil.
Bad Bunny’s tour is already breaking records, with 2.6 million tickets sold and hundreds of millions in revenue. He will become the first Spanish-language artist to headline stadiums in seven countries on his tour route.
Despite the massive scale of his tour, Bad Bunny remains grounded. He joked about his surprise at playing two nights in Sweden, saying, “I like to perform like nobody there knows who I am.” He also emphasized his dedication to live performances.
“My job is to fucking sing, and even though it comes with its own set of sacrifices, it feels silly to complain about it.”
The comparison to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour came naturally due to its massive success. However, Bad Bunny’s approach is different. While Swift’s tour is a celebration of her musical evolution, his focuses on his latest work while acknowledging fan favorites.
Fans of both artists have reacted to his comments. Some were disappointed, hoping for a career-spanning setlist, while others appreciate his honesty. Social media discussions highlight the contrast between the two tours.
Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour will run until July 2026, covering Latin America, Europe, and Australia. His Puerto Rico residency will take place before the tour begins, drawing an estimated 250,000 visitors to the island.
The singer also reflected on his love for Puerto Rico, calling it a place of “pride, pain, and love.” He continues to live on the island and uses his music to highlight its complexities.
“It’s not always paradise, but it’s also a place that requires you to exercise enough resistance to say, ‘I don’t want to leave, and no one can make me.’”
Bad Bunny’s tour promises high-energy performances and a strong connection with his audience. While it won’t follow the Eras Tour blueprint, it will still deliver an unforgettable experience.
Tickets for his shows have been in high demand, with some facing issues similar to Swift’s Ticketmaster problems. In Mexico City, hundreds of fans were turned away due to ticketing errors.
“Ticketmaster was the biggest fraud in history,” one fan tweeted in Spanish. The company later apologized and offered refunds.
Bad Bunny’s rise to global stardom has been rapid. With multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards, he has become one of the most influential artists in the world. His tour is set to reinforce that status.
While Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour celebrates her past, Bad Bunny’s tour is about moving forward. His focus on new music while staying true to his roots makes his approach unique.
The singer’s candid comments about not being Taylor Swift have sparked conversations among fans and media. His straightforward style and dedication to his craft continue to set him apart in the music industry.
