The clocks will go back to 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 3, 2024, just hours after the second Eras Tour show ends in Indianapolis.

States participating in DST move backwards each year when DST officially ends on the first Sunday in November.

Daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday in March, when we move our clocks forward one hour.

Author Michael Downing quoted from his book: “Spring Forward: The Annual Daylight Saving Madness, in an interview with Time Magazineexplaining that Amtrak and the railroads were the main reason the clocks change to 2 a.m. for daylight saving time.

According to Downing, “Sunday morning, at 2 a.m., was the time when they least interrupted train travel across the country.”

Swift will perform in Indianapolis November 1-3 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
