When Taylor Swift touched down in LA, the local law enforcement has been ready to take action.

The police are taking no chances and have beefed up security on public transportation - they plan to approach this operation with a Super Bowl level of seriousness.

Early this week, it was revealed that to accommodate those attending Taylor's six performances at SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles, County Sheriff's Department and LAPD have partnered with Metro to ensure public safety.

This joint effort will result in a substantial number of officers being distributed throughout Metro transportation networks.

According to an official statement from the department per TMZ, they are taking precautions to ensure public safety while using Metro System by ensuring a similar level of visibility as one would expect at a 2022 Superbowl event.

The "Lavender Haze" singer's SoFi concerts were so popular that tickets sold out just as quickly as they had gone on sale through Ticketmaster.

On Thursday evening, Los Angeles was treated to the first stop of the illustrious "Eras "Tour: a six-show extravaganza featuring the pop superstar.

The audience was in for a treat before the main event, as Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim of the band Haim as well as singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams provided some captivating opening acts.

The big show was abuzz with famous faces, including Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Bryant, Sofia Carson and Madelyn Cline of "Outer Banks."

Word on the street is that Taylor Swift's LA shows are being filmed for her "Eras" Tour, as eagle-eyed fans have spotted pro film crew members at the venue.

With an expected attendance of approximately 500,000 people, Taylor Swift's concerts in the Los Angeles area are forecasted to generate a total spending of $150 million reported by the LA Times.

When she took the stage for her show opener, Taylor shimmered in an eye-catching rhinestone bodysuit and matching Christian Louboutin boots with their signature red bottoms.

The North American leg of Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour series was slated to wrap up on August 9 in Los Angeles.

But on Thursday, the "Teardrops On My Guitar" singer shone brighter as they announced 15 new tour dates.

Those fortunate to be on the list will have the chance to witness her live in Indiana, Florida, Louisiana, and Ontario in Canada.
