Taylor Swift is making a stop in Northern California for The Eras Tour, and she won’t be coming alone.

A handful of artists are joining the U.S. leg of her tour, including Paramore, beabadoobee and Phoebe Bridgers.

For Swift’s shows at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on July 28 and 29, pop stars HAIM and Gracie Abrams will be opening the shows.

Haim is a three-piece pop-rock outfit formed in 2007 by sisters Alana, Danielle and Este Haim.

The trio released its debut album, “Days Are Gone,” in 2013 which catapulted them to their first Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. Blending catchy pop hooks with edgy rock strums and synths, Haim has since released three albums and received four Grammy nominations in total.

The band put out its record, “Women In Music Pt. III,” in 2021 featuring Swift and Thundercat. Haim has an extensive resume in the industry, collaborating with Major Lazer, Kid Cudi, Stevie Nicks, and touring with Swift, Rihanna and Florence & the Machine.

Haim is also joining Swift’s tour stops at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and Lumen Field in Seattle, according to Billboard.

Rising artist and songwriter Gracie Abrams made her debut with an emotional soft pop single “Mean It” in 2019. Abram delivered her freshman album “Good Riddance” in June, which houses one of her top streamed songs on Spotify, “I know it won’t work.”

Abrams, who’s also the daughter of director J.J Abrams and producer Katie McGrath, is signed to Interscope Records.

Starting her career with Soundcloud uploads, Abrams has since led her own tour “This Is What It Feels Like” in North America, worked with famed producer and songwriter Aaron Dessner of The National, Mumford & Sons and Taylor Swift, and toured with Olivia Rodrigo on her SOUR Tour.

Abrams will also be on stage for The Eras Tour at Lumen Field and SoFi Stadium.
