“I’ve been sleeping in twenty years of dark night for so long / And now I see daylight, I only see daylight,” Taylor Swift sings in her 2019 song “Daylight.”

Swifties attending the second night of the Eras Tour at Lucas Oil may be thrilled to know they’ll get an extra hour of sleep after shaking off the all-nighter.

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. on the final day of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour U.S. shows in Indianapolis.

Here’s what you need to know.

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

States participating in daylight saving time roll back time when it officially ends on the first Sunday in November each year.

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

Author Michael Downing quoted from his book “Spring Ahead: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time.” explained in an interview with Time Magazine that Amtrak and the railroads were the main reason for the 2 a.m. clock change to daylight saving time.

When Daylight Saving Time began, trains did not leave the station at 2 a.m. on Sundays in New York when Daylight Saving Time began.

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

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