The four musicians -- comprised of two violinists and a viola and cello player -- played a 60-minute set on a stage filled with what looked to be about 1,000 LED candles.

Like the popular Eras Tour, the tribute concert included hit songs from Swifts various albums.

Four more concerts dedicated to other bands such as ABBA, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Queen and the Beatles are coming up over the next two months.

A tribute to the Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones franchises is planned for May 18.
