It was quite the summer bash this past weekend in Seattle. Steps from the iconic Space Needle, foodies from all over the Pacific Northwest gathered for the city’s three-day “premier food festival.” Less than a couple miles west, Sofi Tukker, Denzel Curry, Louis the Child, PinkPantheress and dozens more musical acts performed all weekend at the annual Capitol Hill Block Party. Heading south toward the SoDo neighborhood, the Seattle Mariners completed a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays at their home base of T-Mobile Park.

And, of course, just across the street, Taylor Swift finally brought her Eras Tour to Lumen Field — the climax to the officially declared Taylor Swift Week in King County.

Despite tens of thousands of people moving in and out of Washington state for a variety of different reasons, the Swiftie Energy was strong and felt everywhere. I-5 and I-90 were bumper to bumper as several cars and trucks with license plates from Idaho, Oregon and British Columbia were covered in lyrics and puns. “Shaking it off to the Eras Tour,” read one SUV headed from eastern Washington.

Sidewalks and iconic landmarks like Pike Place Market and Gas Works Park were extra Swiftie-coded too. No matter where you looked, chances were high you’d spot pedestrians in merch, cowboy boots, 13s or sequins — all telltale signs of an Eras Tour ticket-holder. Even the Space Needle was dressed to impress — hanging from the skyscraper’s entrance were giant friendship bracelets of its own that read “In My Seattle Era” and “#SwiftNeedle.”

For two sold-out nights, Taylor — alongside openers Gracie Abrams and HAIM — undoubtedly matched the crowd’s energy and then some. Billboard was on site at both sold-out shows, and we’ve rounded up the best moments from her big return to the PNW below.

HAIM Enters Their Eras Era

A rotation of several musical acts from Phoebe Bridgers to Paramore have opened for Taylor since the tour began in March, but the July 22 show marked the first time HAIM stepped on the Eras stage. The superstar’s “favorite band” and “besties” played a 30-minute set of songs that included “Want You Back” and Swift’s personal favorite (which she later was featured on a remix of) “Gasoline.” During the Sunday show, the sister trio added a fun little addition just for Swifties — a live remix of their viral TikTok jingle “I’m Gonna Be Hungover” — created during the “Bejeweled” music video shoot.

The big surprise of the night, however, came when Swift entered her evermore era. Prior to Seattle, every night of the tour thus far has opened the era with “‘Tis the Damn Season.” For HAIM’s first shows, there was a switch-up: The track was replaced by the album’s collaboration with the California sister trio, “No Body, No Crime.” Este, Danielle and Alana all got their own opportunities to showcase their vocals as soloists — a departure from the studio recording, which they only sang background vocals on — and the crowd went wild.

Seattle's Big Reputation

During a speech ahead of performing “Lover” on Saturday, Taylor revealed she found a diary entry from her 2018 Reputation Tour that simply read, “Seattle, Washington is the best crowd I have ever played for.” Talk about living up to a big reputation! On night 2, she confirmed that the 2023 audience did just that: “There are performances tonight in the crowd that are Tony Award-winning performances,” she said mid-show.

Fun fact: Home to the Seattle Seahawks, the stadium is known for a loud audience — in fact, in 2013, it won the Guinness World Record for loudest crowd roar after a victory over the San Francisco 49ers sent noise levels to 136.6 decibels (noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage your hearing, according to the CDC).

'Red' and Debut Stans Win Surprise Song Sets

Taylor took us back to her pre-pop roots for three of the four songs she played during the surprise acoustic set over the two-show run. On Saturday, she played a solo rendition of her Red album’s Ed Sheeran collab, “Everything Has Changed” — but first confirmed that no special guest would be joining her for the performance. “There’s not a special guest,” she said bluntly, confused by the crowd’s roar. “Oh, are you clapping for me? That’s so nice,” she giggled.

On Sunday, she picked up her guitar for the live debut of Red vault track “Message in a Bottle” before moving to piano for “Tied Together With a Smile” — a deep cut from her 2006 self-titled debut album. While some audience members sat down for the performance of the little-known track, her longtime fans stood tall screaming every lyric through muffled sobs.

The surprise songs were quite the curveball for Seattle Swifties. Fans online speculated she would do at least one song from folklore ahead of the album’s third anniversary on July 23. Another theory posed that Hayley Williams would join for the live debut of “Castles Crumbling” — the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) vault track the singer was featured on — because her band, Paramore, was scheduled for a show in Seattle the following day (though this show was later canceled due to illness in the band’s touring party).

A 'Reputation' Revenge Track Gets Its Live Acoustic Debut

Another surprise song Taylor pulled from her 17-year catalog over the weekend was “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” a track from reputation rumored to be about *that* 2016 Kanye West and Kim Kardashian phone call, revealing the performance marked the first time she’d ever played the song acoustic before.

During the bridge, she took a pause for a full maniacal cackle (which, yes, is also featured on the original recording, but this one was considerably longer — about 20 seconds total). The audience joined along joyfully with laughs, screeches and “aws” before the singer-songwriter strummed back into the final rendition of the song’s earworm hook.

Friendship Bracelets Galore

One major fan-created element of the Eras Tour is trading friendship bracelets , and Seattle undoubtedly arrived beaded and ready. The trend is inspired by a lyric in “You’re On Your Own, Kid” in which Taylor sings, “Make the friendship bracelets/ Take the moment and taste it.”

Thousands of concertgoers donned bracelets from their wrists to their elbows. Some even made dozens more, filling stadium-approved clear bags with colorful beads that read different album and song titles, lyrics, inside jokes, some expletives aimed toward former exes and more. Experienced Swifties were gifting the homemade jewels to little ones (many of whom were experiencing their first concert ever) all connecting over their shared adoration of the superstar singer-songwriter.

The concert even caused a bead shortage in the area — earlier in the week, The Seattle Times reported that one local bead store , Beadworld in Seattle’s Maple Leaf neighborhood, “had to scramble to reorder merchandise to meet spiking demand.”

A Bejeweled Birthday

What better way to spend your birthday than onstage with Miss Swift herself? Kam Saunders, one of Taylor’s 15 Eras Tour backup dancers, did just that during the July 23 show. Taylor even gave him his own little moment in the spotlight as he broke out into a solo dance during “Bejeweled” before wishing him a quick “happy birthday” in between lyrics. She also gave him what looked like the warmest onstage hug ever — sing-smiling a couple of bars through a big embrace.

The Lore Behind 'Folklore'

One song into her folklore set, Taylor took a brief pause from singing for a little chat about the making of her first pandemic-era album. She revealed she started on the album just two days into the COVID-19 lockdown.

“I imagined this life where I wasn’t a lonely millennial woman, covered in cat hair, drowning in white wine, somehow managing to watch 750 hours of television a day,” she joked at the Saturday night show. “Instead, in my imaginary, folklorian fantasy, I was somehow a Victorian woman and a pioneer woman at the same time.” She went on to describe the cabin she pictured herself living in (which was also onstage, a replica of the one she performed in at the 2021 Grammys) being “in the middle of the woods, somewhere in Washington state probably.”

A Movie Star and Music Legend

Dozens of celebrity guests have already visited Eras Tour stops around the country, and her Seattle weekend shows saw a new slew of famous faces. On night 1, Pearl Jam lead vocalist and Seattle music icon Eddie Vedder was spotted, as well as Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds , each enjoying the show from the VIP tent with their families.

Fresh off opening weekend of the Barbie movie, (just Ken) Simu Liu was in attendance and all smiles on night 2. “i was absolutely BLOWN away by the eras tour, by taylor and by all of the amazing and kind swifties that stopped by the tent to say hello and give a bracelet,” the Canadian actor tweeted after the show.

Taylor Swift’s masterpiece Eras Tour sets Lumen Field attendance record

Michael Rietmulder

Concert review

Taylor Swift was just getting warmed up. With a little help from a sold-out Saturday night crowd at Lumen Field that came ready to scream every line, Earth’s biggest pop star had just ripped through “Cruel Summer” — a 4-year-old electro-pop banger that’s arguably the song of this summer — when she decided to have a little fun.

Without saying a word, Swift pointed to sections of the Seattle crowd, which she pegged at 72,000, who would erupt like audible geysers on their queen’s command. “This could go to my head,” Swift said playfully. “You just made me feel so powerful, you know what I mean?”

It was a winking setup for a booming “The Man” — a joyful stomp-and-romp rebuke of sexist double standards — that saw Swift bro-ing around a gargantuan office-themed stage, fist-bumping her battalion of business-suited dancers in jest, as her sequined jacket and boots glistened in the fading sunlight.

After Saturday night, Swift has every right to feel powerful. Although Lumen Field reps couldn’t confirm the final attendance figures Sunday morning, it was the largest concert crowd in the venue’s history, breaking a record previously held by U2’s 360 Tour, which drew more than 70,000 fans in 2011. According to Swift’s team, 72,171 fans were in the house Saturday.

From the opening segment of Swift’s Eras Tour, for which there was an almost unprecedented amount of anticipation , Swift came ready to shoot-to-kill-you-with-a-look, as the stadium exploded with the strike of every pose or lick of her bright red lips. The three-and-a-half-hour marathon was barely underway, and it was already clear fans were in store for a night of entertainment on the biggest, grandest scale.

At 33, Swift already has around 15 years of pop stardom under her belt. In that time, she’s developed a reputation for having one of the strongest work ethics and most meticulous eyes for detail in the biz, and her ambitious, career-spanning Eras Tour takes that to another level. It’s customary for artists with catalogs as deep as hers to draw from the different periods of their careers with any tour. But the breadth and depth of the ground Swift covered across her whopping, 40-some-song set — without a proper set break, no less — was truly impressive, both physically and artistically. (Of her 10 albums, only her 2006 debut was omitted.)

Rather than working through material chronologically, Swift and her band — who flanked the back line of the stage, which had a long catwalk jutting out to the middle of the stadium and a secondary, diamond-shaped stage in the middle — ping-ponged between older and newer stretches of her career, helping the pace of the show.

Breaking out the set into nine or so album-specific segments, each with their own imaginative stage designs and wardrobe changes, only magnified the multitudes of Swift, the country-singer-turned-certified-pop-juggernaut who prompts economic impact studies in every metropolis she visits. Shuffling through the various periods of her career often felt like visitations from the ghosts of Taylors past, from the teenager singing of high-school romance (“Fearless” and “Speak Now”) to the crossover pop star starting to realize her widescreen visions (“Red” and “1989”) and the snake-slaying superstar whose life played out in the tabloids (“Reputation”).

The starkest, most potent juxtaposition came during the first half of the show, when Swift segued from the indie-folk underpinnings of “Folklore” to “Reputation,” with the buzzing synths and crunching trap drums of “Ready For It” making it clear we were out of the woods.

With a wealth of newer songs from a prolific four-album run she’d never before toured on (spanning 2019’s “Lover” to last fall’s “Midnights” LP), the star’s abbreviated throwback dives into her transitional “Speak Now” and “Fearless” eras felt particularly fan service-y.

It’s hard to fathom Swift getting more popular than she already was during her last Seattle date, when she brought her popcorn-ready Reputation Tour here in 2018. But kicking off a two-nighter at the same venue five years later, it seemed that for every millennial going “back to high school” with Swift on a gleeful pass through “You Belong With Me,” there was a 7-year-old singing along just as loudly to “Love Story,” the same 2008 seeds bearing yet another generation of Swifties.

One of Swift’s strengths as a performer is turning some of her less overtly stadium-ready songs into some of the biggest moments in her shows.

Sitting alone at a moss-covered piano, in keeping with the woodsy motif of her “Folklore” and “Evermore” albums, Swift eased in to a heart-leveling “Champagne Problems.” For a minute, there was a rare stillness in the air that the crowd seemed to breathe in, only to let loose in a triumphant choir, joining their leader loudest at the bridge. As the stadium erupted in an extended “Taylor” chant when the final note slipped away, even Swift seemed to well up a little on the big screen.

With each section of the show, the stage transformed into distinct mini universes, and for all the more explosive, fire-cannon-blasting moments, those woodsy “Folklore” and “Evermore” portions felt especially Northwest. When Swift later returned atop the mossy-roofed “’Folklore’ cabin,” she joked that the pandemic-conceived “fantasy world” was “in the middle of the woods — somewhere in Washington state, probably.”

Save for a pair of surprise acoustic songs (Saturday night it was “This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” and “Everything Has Changed”), there isn’t a ton of variation in the set list from night to night on the Eras Tour. But with sibling rock trio HAIM joining the tour as one of the openers in Seattle, fans were treated to the debut of the country-rock-tinged “No Body, No Crime” with Swift accompanied by her three “besties” to kick off the “Evermore” portion of the night. Even though her country roots seem a lifetime away, the dark, brooding number is proof Swift can channel an outlaw spirit anytime she wants.

Having executed the most ambitious tour of her career as well as she did Saturday night, it’s fair to wonder if there’s anything left Swift can’t do.

Every show on the Eras Tour involves an acoustic set where Swift performs at least two songs custom to that night’s show. At first, she wouldn’t allow herself repeats unless she messed up the lyrics to a song, but now, she has done away with that rule and gotten more creative by combining songs in mashups and playing up to four in a segment. The first song or three take place on guitar, and then she shifts to piano for the second half before diving beneath the stage to resume the setlist – which has since contracted and expanded to include a  Tortured Poets Department  era and set .

Below you’ll find Taylor Swift’s surprise songs that she has played most recently in Europe as well as a record of all those she has played on the entire tour so far.

What songs has Taylor Swift added to the new Eras Tour setlist? Here's the full official new Eras Tour setlist and all the changes she's made so far.

Listen to this article

It's safe to say that Taylor Swift 's Eras Tour has well and truly surpassed every single expectation we had. The Eras Tour officially opened its doors in Glendale, Arizona on March 17th where Taylor performed songs from all 10 of her albums.

Since then, Taylor has released her eleventh album, ' The Tortured Poets Department ', and has now added seven of those songs to the setlist too. But what songs have been cut to make room for the new tracks?

On May 9th in Paris, France, Taylor changed the entire Eras Tour setlist as fans know it. Popular songs have now been removed and the eras section order has been moved around.

Here's all the songs in Taylor's Eras Tour setlist, including every song featured in the show, how many songs she plays, every single surprise song and all the 'The Tortured Poets Department' tracks that have been added to the setlist.

Plus, all the updates to the setlist and what to expect for the European Eras Tour dates.

How many songs does Taylor Swift play on the Eras Tour setlist?

The average Taylor Swift concert used to be around 2 hours long but The Eras Tour is a whole different beast... The concert is a whopping 3 hours and 15 minutes long, and Taylor performs a huge 45 tracks within that timeframe.

Not all the tracks are performed in full – some are shortened versions. There's also a couple of additional little interludes that pop up throughout the show.

For context, on the Rep tour, Taylor performed 19 tracks in total, including several mashups that featured some of her older songs. For The 1989 World Tour, she performed 18 songs, while 17 songs were performed on The Red Tour and the Speak Now World Tour.

Taylor now only has two more legs of the Eras Tour to complete: Europe and the second U.S. and Canada leg.

Taylor has 'reset' the surprise song list, which means anyone attending a show in 2024 can anticipate hearing a song she's already performed. She previously stated that she will only play each surprise song once during the tour, unless she messes one up.

There's also no rules for Taylor repeating songs from Midnights as surprise songs, which means fans may get to hear the likes of 'You're On Your Own Kid' and 'Snow on the Beach' again at some point in the future.

We'll update this article with every Surprise Acoustic Song – and every surprise song that she will play again – after every show.

Will Taylor Swift change the Eras Tour setlist to include The Tortured Poets Department?

Will Taylor Swift change the Eras Tour setlist?

Aside from a few song changes, the Eras Tour setlist remained the same throughout the 2023 shows and every show up until the release of 'The Tortured Poets Department'. During the first Paris show in May 2024, Taylor changed the order of the setlist, removed six songs and added seven new ones from 'TTPD'.

Fans attending the European shows might end up hearing Taylor perform ' Castles Crumbling ' with Hayley Williams at some point, as Paramore will be supporting her throughout those tour dates. Unlike Phoebe Bridgers and HAIM, who joined Taylor on stage to perform 'Nothing New' and 'No Body, No Crime' respectively on the nights they were support acts, a 'Castles Crumbling' duet might be more likely to appear as a surprise song.

Taylor will finish her European leg in London in August 2024, before returning to North America in November 2024. It's possible that she may make more changes to the final leg of the show.

What are Taylor's most performed songs on tour?

Before she embarked on The Eras Tour, Taylor’s top 3 most performed songs are ‘Love Story’ (491 times), ‘Our Song’ (404 times) and ‘You Belong With Me’ (381 times).

Of course, almost all of Taylor’s most performed songs are from her first two albums. As the list goes on, the 'Speak Now' bops, 'Red' bangers and '1989' hits start to weave their way in.

If you’re wondering what Taylor’s most played songs from her first five albums are, here’s a break down:

  • Taylor Swift : ‘Our Song’, ‘Tim McGraw’ and ‘Picture To Burn’
  • Fearless: ‘Love Story’, ‘You Belong With Me’ and ‘Fifteen’
  • Speak Now : ‘Sparks Fly’, ‘Mean’ and ‘Mine’
  • Red : ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’, ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ and ‘Red’
  • 1989 : ‘Shake It Off’, ‘Blank Space’ and ‘Out of the Woods’

Taylor has only had the chance to perform songs from Reputation on the Reputation Stadium Tour so far, but ‘Ready For It?’, ‘Delicate’ and ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ take the top spots when it comes to live performances of the Rep tracks.

Due to the cancellation of Lover Fest, Taylor hasn’t been able to perform Lover on a tour setting. Folklore, Evermore and Midnights will also be making their tour debut on the Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour surprise songs include so many deep cuts and new mashups.

Taylor Swift’s Germany Surprise Song Mashups Were Some Of Her Best Yet

Listening to “Fresh Out The Slammer” / “You Are In Love” on loop.

The Eras Tour is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Not only is Swift’s tour a hotbed for celebrities (hi, Travis Kelce ) and collecting friendship bracelets, but the setlist is packed with hits. At each show, the singer has shown love to her entire discography and some cult classics — or what she defines as “surprise songs.” No two Eras Tour shows are the same, as she changes up which two surprise tracks she’ll sing at each stop. Luckily, Swifties have shared tons of videos capturing these performances online.

During the tour’s opening night on Mar. 17, 2023 in Arizona, Swift told the crowd her setlist idea. “The plan, the goal, would be to play different songs every single night and never repeat one,” she said, adding these tracks would be performed during her acoustic set . With a lighthearted smile, she then gave a quick caveat. “Unless I mess it up so badly that I have to do it over again in another city.”

The whole year, Swift kept true to her promise and switched up the 36th and 37th songs with new surprise tracks. She occasionally repeated these performances due to minor hiccups, because ~Errors Tour.~ But these live renditions were iconic, nonetheless.

During her Nov. 26, 2023 show in São Paulo, Brazil, Swift made a major announcement about her surprise songs for 2024. “What I’ve decided is that in 2024, when we go back out on tour, I’m just going to open back up all the songs for surprise songs ,” Swift said. “I feel like for one year we’ve really gotten through a lot of songs. So I’m just going to make all the songs fair game.”

The full list of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour surprise songs is massive.

Here are all the special one-night-only Eras Tour performances, including her newest addition of medleys, that fans will always remember.

The Munich, Germany Shows

“Fresh Out The Slammer” / “You Are In Love” is truly a sickening combo, and Swift proved it when she paired the two songs for her Munich show on July 27.

Her second mashup — “Ivy” and “Call It What You Want” — seemed to be a shoutout to all the small, quiet moments that make a love affair special.

Swift’s collab with Zayn Malik, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” made its return to the Eras Tour on July 28. She mashed the song with “imgonnagetyouback” off of Tortured Poets . Next, she paired another TTPD song “loml” with her Fearless vault track, “Don’t You.”

The Hamburg, Germany Shows

Swift went all the way back to her debut days on July 23, but she added a twist. She performed a mashup of “Teardrops On My Guitar” / “The Last Time.” Later, things got *sad* when she played the heartbreaking mashup of “ We Were Happy” / “Happiness” on the piano.

Swift brought back a song that was cut from the Eras tour setlist for her surprise songs on July 24. She mixed the tracks “The Last Great American Dynasty” and “Run” for a surprising mashup. Then, she sang a mashup of “Nothing New” / “Dear Reader.”

The Gelsenkirchen, Germany Shows

For her first night in Gelsenkirchen, Swift started off her surprise songs on an optimistic note, pairing “Superstar” and “Invisible String.” She also did a mashup of “Slut!” / “False God,” perfect for Swifties who love her slower tracks.

Swift went back to her roots a bit with a mashup of “Speak Now” / “Hey Stephen.”

She also did a mashup of “This Is Me Trying” / “Labyrinth” — proof that although Folklore and Midnights have very different vibes, but they certainly sound right when paired together.

The Milan, Italy Surprise Songs

Swift did an interesting mix of breakup tracks for her July 13 show in Milan. She started off with a mashup of “the 1” / “Wonderland.”

Later, she sang a mashup of two Red tracks, “I Almost Do” / “The Moment I Knew.”

Swift kept the breakup songs coming during her second Milan show. She combined “ Mr. Perfectly Fine” and “Red,” before going into a more anxiety focused mashup: “Getaway Car” / “Out of the Woods.”

The Zürich, CHE Surprise Songs

For Swift’s 113th Eras Tour performance, she wanted to make her acoustic set extra special in honor of her lucky number. “ I just thought since [13 is] my favorite number , I’d just do some of my favorite songs for the acoustic section,” she announced to the crowd, before launching into a mashup of "Right Where You Left Me" / "All You Had to Do Was Stay ."

And of course, since it was July 9 after all, she had to perform her heart-rending breakup ballad “Last Kiss ,” which famously mentions that date. She paired the song, which is thought to be about her split with Joe Jonas , with another breakup song: "Sad Beautiful Tragic."

For her second Zürich show, Swift paired up nostalgic throwbacks with some of her more recent, underrated tracks. She sang a mashup of “Closure” / “A Perfectly Good Heart” on guitar and then “Robin” / “Never Grow Up” on piano.

The Amsterdam, NLD Surprise Songs

Swift kept her hands to herself with a yearning mashup of “Guilty as Sin?” and “Untouchable .”

She then brought back a former set list fave with “ The Archer,” combining it with “Question...? ”

For night two, the guitar section got a bit flirty with a mix of "Imgonnagetyouback" and "Dress ."

And then she brought the romance with " You Are in Love" / "Cowboy like Me ."

Swift’s final night in Amsterdam was a full love letter to Travis Kelce, who was watching on from the crowd. She delivered the live debut of “ Sweeter than Fiction,” combining it with “Holy Ground .”

And finally, sang her most Kelce-coded mashup yet: " Mary's Song (Oh My My My)" / "So High School" / "Everything Has Changed ." This marked Swift’s first time performing “Mary’s Song” live since its release as a track on her debut album in 2006. The deep cut has taken on a significant new meaning since Swift began dating Kelce, thanks to the lyric, “I’ll be 87, you’ll be 89 ,” which references their two signifying numbers.

Fans noticed Swift gave a knowing grin to the audience during that particular line.

The Dublin, IRE Surprise Songs

Swift sent a very pointed message to her bullies by combining "Thank You Aimee" and "Mean ."

As an extra special treat for the London crowd, Swift brought out her opener Hayley Williams to perform their duet "Castles Crumbling" live for the first time.

To celebrate her newly released album, Swift brought another opener on stage, Gracie Abrams, to sing their duet “Us .”

She then sang a supersized medley of "Out of the Woods," "Is It Over Now?" and "Clean ."

The Cardiff, WAL Surprise Songs

She then played a mournful medley of "I Hate It Here" and "The Lakes ."

The Liverpool, ENG Surprise Songs

The night one Liverpool crowd got a Speak Now double feature when Swift performed a mashup of “Mine” and the album’s vault track “I Can See You .”

Then, she took to the piano to sing a combo of “Cornelia Street” and “Maroon .”

One of the most surprising surprise songs of all came on night two of Liverpool, when Swift combined “Gold Rush” with the Rihanna and Calvin Harris single “This Is What You Came For .” As hardcore Swifties know, Swift secretly co-wrote the 2016 release under a pseudonym .

Things then took a sadder turn when Swift performed a mashup of “The Great War” and “You’re Losing Me .”

She then took to her piano for a rendition of “ ‘Tis the Damn Season” combined with “Daylight .”

Swift really kicked things into high gear with a mash-up of “The Bolter” and “Getaway Car. ”

It was her piano set that really surprised Swifties, though. She sang a combination of “All of the Girls You Loved Before” and “Crazier .” Swift wrote “Crazier” in 2009 for The Hannah Montana movie, and in the 15 years since, she had never once performed it live, so this unexpected live debut was a huge treat.

The Lyon, FR Eras Tour Surprise Songs

She wrapped up her time in Sweden with one last Tortured Poets live debut: “ How Did It End? ”

The Paris, FR Eras Tour Surprise Songs

After Swift returned to the Eras Tour from her two-month break, the show changed a lot to incorporate her new album The Tortured Poets Department . But she did keep her surprise songs gimmick. As fans guessed, she performed her Midnight bonus track “Paris” as a tribute to the city.

And to honor her new album, Swift’s second surprise song was the heartbreaking ballad “loml .”

The full list of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour surprise songs is massive.

The Sydney, AUS Eras Tour Surprise Songs

February 23

For Swift’s first Eras Tour performance in Sydney, she played “ How You Get The Girl ” on guitar. Then, Sabrina Carpenter (who’s been opening for Swift on tour) came on stage to sing a mashup of “White Horse” and “Coney Island” with her.

February 24

Sydney truly won in the surprise songs department. On her second night, Swift whipped out her guitar to perform a mix of two older tracks : “Should’ve Said No” from her self-titled debut, and “You’re Not Sorry” on Fearless . Later that night, she retired behind the piano and sang a mashup of Reputation’ s “New Year’s Day” and “Peace” from Folklore .

February 25

The Sydney mashups continued. Swift first started with a 1989 (both original and Taylor’s Version ) blend of “Is It Over Now” and “I Wish You Would.” She then darkened the setlist, performing a mix of Speak Now’ s “Haunted” and “Exile” off Folklore .

February 26

For her final night in Sydney, Swift fully leaned into her mashup era with ease. Her first blend began with “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” from Midnights and “Ivy” from Evermore , which felt on par with her green-hued dress. Later that night, she brought out her traditional piano and performed Fearless’ “Forever & Always” and Maroon from Midnights .

The Melbourne, AUS Eras Tour Surprise Songs

February 16.

Swift kicked off her Melbourne surprise set with her hit single, “Red .”

February 17

For Melbourne night two, Swift sang a mashup of songs from three different eras — Fearless , Reputation , and Folklore . She surprised crowds by combining “Getaway Car,” “August,” and “The Other Side Of The Door” on guitar.

Switching over to piano, Swift sang, “ This Is Me Trying .” She previously performed the track as a surprise song during one of her Arizona shows, but played it on guitar at the time.

February 18

Keeping with the trend of performing mashups, Swift sang a combination of “Come Back... Be Here and “Daylight” on guitar. She then performed “ Teardrops on My Guitar ” on piano.

The Tokyo, JPN Eras Tour Surprise Songs

At long last, Swift’s Eras Tour returned in 2024 with her Tokyo shows. Fittingly, her first surprise song was “ Dear Reader, ” a nod to her recently announced 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department .

Swift also performed “Holy Ground” for the Tokyo crowd.

Swift included a truly deep cut in her Feb. 8 show. She performed her Hunger Games single “Eyes Open” live for the first time ever .

She kept the niche love going by singing the vault track “Electric Touch” live for the first time.

For Night 3 in Tokyo, Swift sang “Superman” for her guitar section.

And after she sat down at the piano, Swift threw it all the way back to one of the first songs she’d ever written: “ The Outside .”

February 10

She closed out her Tokyo performances with the Fearless track “Come In With the Rain .”

And finally, the last song she played before jetting off to watch her boyfriend play in the Super Bowl was “ You’re On Your Own, Kid .” Swifties speculated that she chose this song as an ode to Travis Kelce , considering they met when Kelce tried to give her a friendship bracelet (an Eras staple inspired by a line in that song).

The full list of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour surprise songs is massive.

The São Paulo, BRA Eras Tour Surprise Songs

November 24.

For her first night in São Paulo, Swift performed her 1989 (Taylor’s Version) vault track “Now That We Don’t Talk” live for the first time .

She then took to her piano to sing “Innocent .”

November 25

She also gifted her Brazilian fans with a live performance of “Safe & Sound ,” the song she wrote for The Hunger Games .

Swift then performed “Untouchable .”

November 26

The third night of São Paulo was bittersweet for Swifties, many of whom were theorizing that Swift may use her final 2023 concert to announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) . But ultimately, that long-awaited “I Did Something Bad” surprise song didn’t come. Instead, Swift live-debuted her recently released vault track “Say Don’t Go .”

Her final surprise song of the year was “ It’s Time to Go .”

Swift also gave the crowd a major update about her future surprise songs for 2024. She told the crowd that she would be repeating surprise songs for the next leg of her tour, making a completely blank slate to choose any song she wanted.

The Rio De Janeiro, BRA Eras Tour Surprise Songs

November 17.

On her first night in Rio de Janeiro, Swift sang “Stay Beautiful” for the crowd.

Then, she went to the piano to sing “ Bigger Than the Whole Sky .”

November 20

For her final night in Rio de Janeiro, Swift performed an acoustic version of her single “Me! ”

But the real conversation starter was Swift’s second surprise song. She took to the piano to sing “So It Goes... ,” which fans were quick to point out was one of the two Reputation tracks she had not yet performed on the tour. To drive the point home even more, Swift winked during the performance .

Swifties took the “So It Goes...” choice as an indication that she is about to announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) , a project she’s been subtly teasing for a while now . The theory is that whenever Swift finally performs her last Rep song, “I Did Something Bad,” she’ll use that to announce when her re-release of the album will drop.

The Buenos Aries, ARG Eras Tour Surprise Songs

After more than two months away from the Eras stage, Swift returned with her Red (Taylor’s Version) vault track “ The Very First Night .”

She also performed her Midnights song “ Labyrinth .”

These two song choices were incredibly interesting, given it was Swift’s first performance since she began dating her new boyfriend, Travis Kelce . Fans were quick to point out how both songs were about the romantic beginnings of a new relationship , with “The Very First Night” in particular having the lyric, “I was riding in the car when we both fell.” Swift and Kelce memorably drove off together after their first public appearance at one of Kelce’s games.

November 11

For the first time in the Eras Tour, Swift performed a special mashup for one of her surprise songs. She combined her newly released vault track “ Is It Over Now?” with “Out of the Woods .”

It was her second surprise song that really raised eyebrows. Swift sang her Reputation track “End Game ,” which carried extra meaning since her boyfriend Travis Kelce was in attendance . The song had become a top pick for Swifties when making romantic edits of Swift and Kelce, given the sports references in its lyrics and “big reputation” chant .

November 12

To close out her Buenos Aries dates, Swift surprised the crowd with “ Better Than Revenge .”

She then sang “Slut! ,” a vault track off her newly released 1989 (Taylor’s Version) .

And had the whole crowd in their feelings during " You're on Your Own, Kid ."

The greatness continued on her fourth night in L.A. There, she performed “Dress” from Reputation . However, instead of incorporating the track’s original synths, she stripped it down to an acoustic version.

She continued the mellow vibes with her Folklore gem, “ Exile .”

Swift continued her Reputation streak on her fifth L.A. stop. She performed “King Of My Heart ” to an emotional crowd, who belted the lyrics as passionately as Swift did.

Afterward, she took a trip down 1989 with “I Know Places.” Similar to “Dress” from the night before, she swapped the original tune’s synth-y production for a guitar solo.

For Swifties, this was certainly the night *not* to miss. During her final night in the City of Angels, Swift announced her re-recording of 1989 would release on Oct. 27. She also performed some surprises.

She then performed her newly released vault track " When Emma Falls in Love " live for the first time. Although the song was new, fans had already put together theories it may be about Emma Stone .

Since there was no July 9 tour date, Swift had to perform "Last Kiss " a day early.

She closed out her Kansas City weekend with a surprise performance of "Dorothea ."

The Cincinnati, OH Eras Tour Surprise Songs

She followed that up with the title track of her ninth studio album, “ Evermore .”

A Full List (And Videos) Of Every Surprise Song Taylor Swift Sung On The US Leg Of The Eras Tour

' src=

One of the most beloved traditions Taylor Swift has on tour is the surprise song. This tradition got its roots during the Speak Now Tour when she began to sing a cover song acoustic of an artist from the city or state where she was. Somehow even though I saw 3 full shows and a festival performance of this tour I never got a cover song). I did however get one of the first true surprise songs, Never Grow Up at the Speak Now Tour stop in Raleigh, NC. Taylor chose to sing this song as one of her childhood friends was at the show. It’s still one of my favorite Taylor Swift concert memories. By the Red Tour, the surprise song had a permanent spot on the setlist, and it has ever since. What is a Taylor Swift surprise song? It’s a song that is not on the permanent setlist that she sings acoustic. And the best part? We get not one surprise song but two every night on the Era’s Tour.

About the surprise songs.

Typically these songs aren’t repeated, and at this point in the tour, nothing has been. She has such a vast discography at this point, it wouldn’t make sense to repeat. Though if she wants to repeat Tim McGraw which she sang at the show the night before I went to the Era’s Tour at another show I’m going to, I wouldn’t complain. Just sob hysterically. But I’ve been very lucky with the surprise songs I have gotten throughout the years, including one she played specifically for me. So I’ll never complain about anything. I’m honestly not sure at this point if I’d rather have an old song that I assume I’ll never hear live again. Or if I want a song I’ve never heard live. At this point, I uncharacteristically am leaning towards the latter. You’re On You’re Own Kid is my top wish right now.

**Update the day I wrote this she played You’re On You’re Own, Kid. But she did say Midnights songs could get played more than once so I’m still holding out hope. To date no song has been repeated, it will speak volumes when/if she does.

***Please note that videos are getting taken down due to copyright notices, I am doing my best to keep the videos working but there could be issues**

****We learned during the Chicago shows, that movie soundtrack songs can be included so I’ve added a random category at the end of the albums****

So if you are trying to keep track, or find out which song could be played at your show keep reading. Below you’ll find a list and videos night by night of each surprise song on The Era’s Tour. At the end, you’ll find a breakdown by album that has permanent setlist songs and surprise songs noted. May the odds be in your favor for your favorite song!

Taylor went on an hour early at this show due to coming weather and Gracie Abrams did not get to open the show. Therefore Taylor brought her out during the surprise song set to play one of her songs for a total of 3 surprise songs on night 2 in Ohio.

This was not during the surprise song set, instead, it was after Enchanted, the sole Speak Now track on the Eras Tour setlist. She also performed it Saturday night but it remains to see if this was just for this weekend or for the rest of the tour. Selfishly I hope it was just this weekend.

Ranking Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Surprise Song Sets

Share All sharing options for: Ranking Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Surprise Song Sets

Since Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour began making its way across the country this spring, 10:30 p.m. Swift Local Time has marked the unofficial start of Surprise Song O’Clock. Maybe you’ve been lucky enough to be in the audience one of those nights and have crossed your fingers and toes in hopes that she’ll play a personal favorite deep cut or bring out a special guest. Maybe you’ve followed along every night on TikTok livestreams dutifully uploaded by on-site Swifties, making sure fans far and wide can find out which two songs not part of the Eras main set list Swift has chosen for her mini acoustic set that night.

During the early shows of the tour, Swift laid out her self-imposed rules: one song on guitar, one on piano, and she would allow herself to repeat only songs from her 2022 album, Midnights , or any other song where she’d messed up the words. (She’s largely followed her own rules, repeating only one song, “Clean,” before heading into the final stretch of shows in Los Angeles, where she has since repeated two tracks from Midnights and fan favorites “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” which she messed up the first time, and “Our Song”—which might have been performed a second time because of whatever documentary was obviously being filmed in L.A.) This isn’t the first time Swift has included surprise songs in live shows—there was one per night on the Reputation Stadium Tour, and the 1989 World Tour included surprise duets with different guests—but this has been a savvy move for a tour meant to highlight her entire discography and a way for Swift to keep every show fresh, even when some concertgoers will have seen the whole thing online months before attending in person.

Plus, it’s a showcase for one of Swift’s superpowers : the ability to make each person in a crowd of tens of thousands feel like she’s talking or singing right to them. Each surprise song set has been a special moment in its own right, but, of course, some songs were more highly anticipated than others, and now that she’s wrapped up the first U.S. leg of the Eras Tour (in epic fashion, we must add), we’ve decided to rank all 53 (!!) of them here:

1. August 9 in Los Angeles, California: “New Romantics” and “New Year’s Day”

The anticipation for this surprise song set grew with every new—and blue—outfit Swift wore throughout the closing night of her record-setting six-run stop at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. As she ended the first U.S. leg of the Eras Tour on the ninth day of the eighth month, after more than a year of teases about 1989 (Taylor’s Version) , you just knew something epic was coming. And after crossing off “I Know Places” the night before, she picked the last 1989 track remaining on the surprise song big board: her musical Cinderella story, “New Romantics.” It started as a Target deluxe edition track, and now she’s closing tours and announcing albums with a note-perfect (yes, down to the sign) sing-along of it on the guitar, and everyone was too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet. Swift could have followed “New Romantics” with “ Monologue Song ” and this night would still have a case for the top spot (though maybe that’s a bad example—“Monologue Song” slaps), but she had more than that in store. At the piano, she surprised the star-studded crowd— hi, Karlie !—with “New Year’s Day,” which, even in August, was the perfect way to close this portion of the tour. Hold on to the memories, because every night felt just like a dream. — Nora Princiotti

2. May 26 in East Rutherford, New Jersey: “Getaway Car” With Jack Antonoff and “Maroon”

“I know you guys want to hear this one,” Swift said before introducing “Getaway Car” during the first of three shows at MetLife Stadium. She was right! “Getaway Car” as your surprise song is a Tier 1 I-was-there-when Swiftie experience. Jack Antonoff gives me low-grade social anxiety, but the fact that the performance was a nod to this footage of the two of them in an original writing session made this choice both an in-joke and a massive crowd-pleaser. We also can’t underrate the phenomenal version of “Maroon,” performed live for the first time at the piano. An all-time classic plus the chance to hear an excellent deep(ish) cut performed in a new way? I don’t know how it gets better than that. The cherry on top is that the whole crowd was expecting “Welcome to New York.” — Princiotti

3. August 5 in Los Angeles, California: “Death by a Thousand Cuts” and “You’re on Your Own, Kid”

L.A. stayed winning. With Swift apparently filming some kind of tour movie during her dates at SoFi Stadium, those shows had a little extra sizzle and great surprise song choices. Fans of the Lover: Live From Paris show know that a live acoustic set is where “Death by a Thousand Cuts” thrives. To pair it with “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” in some ways a manifesto for The Eras Tour itself, was truly special. — Princiotti

4. May 19 in Foxborough, Massachusetts: “Should’ve Said No” and “Better Man”

This is exactly what a dream surprise song set should be. “Should’ve Said No” is one of Taylor’s oldest tracks, off her debut album, which was notably absent from The Eras Tour, and it’s previously been part of an iconic live performance (the “Bad Blood” mash-up from the 2018 Reputation Tour). And I’ll argue that “Better Man” is her best vault track (apologies to fast-rising “I Can See You”). She gave “Better Man” to Little Big Town and has rarely performed it live, but that Friday night in Foxborough, she finally gave it the stadium treatment it deserved. — Lindsay Jones

5. April 1 in Arlington, Texas: “Death by a Thousand Cuts” and “Clean”

“Death by a Thousand Cuts” is basically an automatic top five. A pairing with “Clean,” which has often been a particularly emotional live song, as Swift positions it as a chance for her audience to collectively move beyond whatever challenges they’ve faced, made the surprise set at this DFW show a tour highlight. Swift did bungle a few lyrics in “Clean,” but that just meant she got to do it again further down the line. — Princiotti

6. June 24 in Minneapolis, Minnesota: “Dear John” and “Daylight”

My daughter and I were sitting in the left field bleachers at Coors Field, watching a historically awful loss by our hometown Colorado Rockies, during this particularly epic Surprise Song O’Clock. I cranked the volume on my iPhone to the max as we listened to Taylor give a long introduction to her first acoustic song, imploring fans not to “defend me on the internet against someone you think I might have written a song about.” What followed was her first performance of “Dear John” in 11 years—and sorry, Tay, we all know that song’s about John Mayer, despite your best attempts to play coy all these years later. And she paired it with “Daylight,” a song that is infinitely better when performed live on just a guitar than it was on the studio album Lover . That’s an elite surprise song set. — Jones

7. August 3 in Los Angeles, California: “I Can See You” and “Maroon”

Taylor kicked off her six-show run in L.A. with a hell of a pairing—the live debut of “I Can See You,” the best vault track from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) , and a repeat performance of “Maroon.” With the latter, she let us all know not only that she was indeed going to repeat songs in the final stretch of the (first) American leg of The Eras Tour, but also that she was going to hit the deeper-cut fan favorites once again. — Jones

8. August 4 in Los Angeles, California: “Our Song” and “You Are in Love”

I am on record as stating that I can’t hear “You Are in Love” without thinking about Jack Antonoff and Lena Dunham making out, but that’s my problem. And there is probably no singular experience better than singing “Our Song” at the tippy top of your lungs with tens of thousands of fellow Swifties. — Princiotti

9. May 7 in Nashville, Tennessee: “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” With Aaron Dessner and “Mine”

I know Taylor said not to, but I would have egged J-hn M-yer’s house if I’d been in Nashville for “WCS.” — Princiotti

10. July 28 in Santa Clara, California: “Right Where You Left Me” and “Castles Crumbling”

It’s the much-anticipated live debut of “Right Where You Left Me” for me. This was also the night that Haim did “No Body, No Crime” in the “Bejeweled” music video dresses. Man, I want to be in Haim. — Princiotti

11. July 1 in Cincinnati, Ohio: “Ivy” With Aaron Dessner, “I Miss You, I’m Sorry” With Gracie Abrams, and “Call It What You Want”

Her only three-song acoustic set (because of severe weather in Cincinnati that caused Gracie Abrams’s opening set to be canceled), the highlight of this night was “Ivy,” my favorite deep cut from Evermore . “Call It What You Want” was lovely on piano, but I can’t help but compare her rather emotionless delivery to the way we saw her sing it to her ex Joe Alwyn in the 2020 Miss Americana documentary. — Jones

12. May 6 in Nashville, Tennessee: “Out of the Woods” and “Fifteen”

*Seventy thousand scream the “Out of the Woods” bridge in unison* — Princiotti

13. May 5 in Nashville, Tennessee: “Sparks Fly” and “Teardrops on My Guitar”

Two elite early sing-alongs worth dropping everything now for. There are plenty of OG Swifties in Nashville, and they must have been levitating. — Princiotti

14. August 8 in Los Angeles, California: “I Know Places” and “King of My Heart”

The penultimate night at SoFi Stadium was delivering VOCALS. First it was “I Know Places,” the most underrated song on 1989 , where each chorus came in stronger than the last. Then, at the piano, Swift played the excellent “King of My Heart” from Reputation , and all at once it was so much more than enough. —Princiotti

15. July 22 in Seattle, Washington: “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” and “Everything Has Changed”

One of the most fun songs on Reputation alongside a Red song made for acoustic sing-alongs already makes for a strong pairing, but what made this surprise set extra memorable was the elongated cackle Swift let out in the spoken-word section of “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” when she faux forgives her adversaries. She can’t even say it with a straight face! Unhinged. Excellent. — Princiotti

16. July 15 in Denver, Colorado: “Starlight” and “Back to December”

We all knew “Back to December” was coming sometime after the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) , and this rendition was worth waiting for. The way the Denver crowd went wild when their light-up bracelets turned from blue to purple and they realized what was coming was electric. — Jones

17. April 14 in Tampa, Florida: “The Great War” With Aaron Dessner and “You’re on Your Own, Kid”

I still can’t believe she left “You’re on Your Own, Kid” off the main set list—how loud would the line “so make the friendship bracelets” be every night? — Jones

18. June 30 in Cincinnati, Ohio: “I’m Only Me When I’m With You” and “Evermore”

I remember initially being disappointed that she chose to perform “Evermore” without Justin Vernon. Boy, was I wrong. Nearly six weeks later, I’m still seeking out her solo piano performance from Cincinnati because her vocals on both Vernon’s verse and the bridge are perfection. — Jones

19. April 15 in Tampa, Florida: “Mad Woman” With Aaron Dessner and “Mean”

And a liar! And pathetic!!!! — Princiotti

20. August 7 in Los Angeles, California: “Dress” and “Exile”

Even though this solo live version of “Exile” was unique and what Swift did with the bridge was very cool, I’ll admit I missed Justin Vernon here. — Jones

21. March 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada: “Our Song” and “Snow on the Beach”

What a weird but fucking beautiful pairing. — Jones

22. July 8 in Kansas City, Missouri: “Last Kiss” and “Dorothea”

“Dorothea” is so overlooked and such a wonderful, sweet song. Even though it’s wistful, it feels like a warm hug, which is good because this live version of “Last Kiss” was DEVASTATING—even the two vocal trip-ups, which somehow made it more special. — Princiotti

23. June 17 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: “Seven” With Aaron Dessner and “The Story of Us”

She absolutely wasn’t going to miss the chance to sing the lyric “with Pennsylvania under me” while in her home state. And that’s a nice line, but “love you to the moon and to Saturn” is the one I might get tattooed on my arm when this tour is over. — Jones

24. June 4 in Chicago, Illinois: “Hits Different” and “The Moment I Knew”

I don’t know why Swift was surprised the Soldier Field crowd knew every word to “Hits Different.” She should have known that even though she hid that track away on a CD-only version of Midnights sold at Target, we’d been streaming bootleg versions for months. — Jones

25. March 17 in Glendale, Arizona: “Mirrorball” and “Tim McGraw”

Back on the opening night of the tour, Taylor debuted the first surprise song set with “Mirrorball,” telling the crowd the song was her more eloquent way of saying, “I love you and want your attention all the time.” Well, she got it. — Jones

26. April 29 in Atlanta, Georgia: “High Infidelity” and “Gorgeous”

Do you really want to know where I was April 29? Watching TikTok feeds with extreme jealousy toward those who saw this surprise set live. This one was tasteful. — Princiotti

27. May 21 in Foxborough, Massachusetts: “I Think He Knows” and “Red”

Two great songs, and extra memorable for the fact that Swift wound up playing “Red” on the guitar because her piano was so waterlogged from the torrential downpour that soaked it the night before that it started playing itself. — Princiotti

28. May 27 in East Rutherford, New Jersey: “Holy Ground” and “False God”

“Holy Ground” has always been a perfect stadium filler and was a cool pairing with “False God,” one of Swift’s most idiosyncratic songs. I got to see this one live, and the funniest part was that she didn’t introduce “False God” at all . Really, though, what was she going to say? Tonight I thought I’d play one of my horniest songs. Please enjoy! — Princiotti

29. July 14 in Denver, Colorado: “Picture to Burn” and “Timeless”

From my years of covering the Broncos, I’ve felt Denver’s football stadium shake on dozens of occasions, but I’ve never felt it bounce quite like it did during “Picture to Burn.” And the live debut of “Timeless,” a vault track from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) , was delightful—and truly a surprise song because so many of us with Denver Night 1 tickets clowned ourselves into believing that Hayley Williams would show up to do “Castles Crumbling” the night after Paramore played in Denver. — Jones

30. April 30 in Atlanta, Georgia: “I Bet You Think About Me” and “How You Get the Girl”

I’m just thankful we got to hear her sing the line “Oh my God, she’s insane” live. — Jones

31. May 12 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: “Gold Rush” and “Come Back … Be Here”

The verbal precision of “Gold Rush” was a cool contrast with the belting she did on “Come Back … Be Here.” — Princiotti

32. March 25 in Las Vegas, Nevada: “Cowboy Like Me” With Marcus Mumford and “White Horse”

The first surprise guest of the tour and a very horsey set. Ken approved. — Princiotti

33. June 2 in Chicago, Illinois: “I Wish You Would” and “The Lakes”

I loved this set, even though I doubt it was at the top of many wish lists. “We’re a crooked love in a straight line down” is such an evocative line in “I Wish You Would.” And real ones know the bonus tracks on Folklore and Evermore are exceptional. — Princiotti

34. March 18 in Glendale, Arizona: “State of Grace” and “This Is Me Trying”

The Glendale sets are from such a simpler time, back before we analyzed what songs were left and what she might repeat, back when we could just enjoy an epic lyric like “They told me all of my cages were mental / So I got wasted like all my potential.” — Jones

35. April 2 in Arlington, Texas: “Jump Then Fall” and “The Lucky One”

“This is about how horrible being famous is,” Swift, arguably the most famous singer in the world right now, said with a smirk as she introduced “The Lucky One” on piano. — Jones

36. April 13 in Tampa, Florida: “Speak Now” and “Treacherous”

In hindsight, it seems odd that she chose to perform the titular track for Speak Now a month before she announced the impending release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) . — Jones

37. May 13 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: “Forever & Always” and “This Love”

When Lena Dunham requests “Forever & Always” for her birthday, you absolutely have to play it. Those are the rules. — Jones

38. May 28 in East Rutherford, New Jersey: “Welcome to New York” and “Clean”

Genuinely good bit on Taylor’s part to wait until the last show in East Rutherford to pull out “Welcome to New York.” — Princiotti

39. May 14 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: “Hey Stephen” and “The Best Day”

This show was on Mother’s Day, so of course she was going to perform “The Best Day,” which is in essence a love letter to her mother, Andrea. It’s a sweet song, perfect for an acoustic performance, and it surely hit all the millennial moms in the audience right in the feels. — Jones

40. June 9 in Detroit, Michigan: “Haunted” and “I Almost Do”

“Haunted” is such a huge instrumental song on the studio album(s), and yet it’s somehow more, well, haunting when it’s just Swift and a guitar. — Jones

41. June 10 in Detroit, Michigan: “All You Had to Do Was Stay” and “Breathe”

The high “stays” acoustic were very cool. — Princiotti

42. June 16 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: “Mr. Perfectly Fine” and “The Last Time”

To quote Sophie Turner, “MPF” is not not a bop. — Princiotti

43. June 23 in Minneapolis, Minnesota: “Paper Rings” and “If This Was a Movie”

“Paper Rings” deserved a better partner. — Jones

44. June 3 in Chicago, Illinois: “You All Over Me” With Maren Morris and “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever”

Remember that whole Matty Healy thing? It all fizzled out right around the time of her Chicago dates, which might help explain why she picked a song with the lyric “What if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life?” — Jones

45. May 20 in Foxborough, Massachusetts: “Question …?” and “Invisible”

I remember two things about this set: (1) the epic downpour in Foxborough and (2) the way Swift introduced the acoustic set, telling the crowd, “I’ve just never been this happy in my life, in all aspects of my life, and thank you for being a part of that. And it’s not just the tour, so I feel like my life finally feels like it makes sense. So I thought I’d play this song that brings me a lot of happy memories.” This was, of course, post-Joe and possibly mid-Matty, whatever that means. — Jones

46. July 7 in Kansas City, Missouri: “Never Grow Up” and “When Emma Falls in Love”

I cannot listen to “Never Grow Up” without crying, so I was honestly relieved when this one came off the big board a week before I saw The Eras Tour live. Thoughts and prayers to all the moms who were at Arrowhead that night with their children; I would not have survived it. — Jones

47. July 29 in Santa Clara, California: “Stay Stay Stay” and “All of the Girls You Loved Before”

Did you hear they named it Swiftie Clara? — Princiotti

48. April 28 in Atlanta, Georgia: “The Other Side of the Door” and “Coney Island”

Even without her cowriters from the National, “Coney Island” was surely a thrill for the Sad Dad corner of the Taylor Swift fandom. — Jones

49. March 31 in Arlington, Texas: “Sad Beautiful Tragic” and “Ours”

If you have to ask, “I’m not sure if you guys love this one or not, or if you just like it or if you’re obsessed with it,” before playing a song, as she did with “Sad Beautiful Tragic,” maybe that’s a sign that it’s not a dream surprise song. — Jones

50. July 23 in Seattle, Washington: “Message in a Bottle” and “Tied Together With a Smile”

Sure, “Message in a Bottle” is a bop, but anyone who says they had either of these picks on their surprise song big board in late July is lying. — Jones

51. April 22 in Houston, Texas: “A Place in This World” and “Today Was a Fairytale”

I can’t make a case that this acoustic set was elite, but I just want to say that I ride for “Today Was a Fairytale.” — Princiotti

52. April 23 in Houston, Texas: “Begin Again” and “Cold As You”

I mean, it’s fine. — Jones

53. April 21 in Houston, Texas: “Wonderland” and “You’re Not Sorry”

Taylor, did Houston do something? It’s not that these surprise sets weren’t enjoyable—they all were—I just don’t know how many fans had “Wonderland,” a 1989 bonus track, paired with this hurting early cut from Fearless on their wish lists. — Princiotti

Taylor Swift Switches Out Songs and Costumes for Night 2 of Eras Tour: Photos and Video

'This Is Me Trying' and 'State of Grace' were performed in an acoustic stretch of her tour's second show, possibly for the only time all tour

eras tour songs switch costumes

On the Eras Tour , Taylor Swift at one point plays a piano that appears to be covered in moss. But there are certain aspects of the show that are guaranteed not to gather that substance, judging from the second night of the tour, which, like the first, took place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

One of those is the costuming, with the pop superstar trying out some different dresses (or, in the case of “The Man,” black or grey suit -dresses) in different parts of the concert Saturday than she had at Friday night’s tour opener.

Popular on variety.

One thing that didn’t change Saturday: the lateness of the hour. Although the Friday night closing time of 11:12 seemed like the show might have accidentally drifted past an 11 p.m. curfew that many venues enforce, the show actually went even a few minutes longer than that on Saturday. And a leaked crew sheet showed that the weekend concerts were indeed deliberately budgeted to go until 11:15, making for a running time calculated to be right around 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Although the show has many costume changes, Swift is only very briefly offstage during those roughly 195 minutes. Some of the changes even involve taking something off or putting something on while not leaving the stage, whether that’s in front of everyone’s eyes or, in one clever staging moment, behind a confluence of umbrellas that fit together to form a dressing-room shield. The fact that Swift is on stage for all but two or three minutes of the epic running time means that she’s more than matching the stamina of her fans, who have their own somewhat lesser endurance test — since there’s hardly a person in the building who’s going to sit down at any point in her set (and most also stand for her two opening acts, which this weekend were Paramore and Gayle).

Check out some of the overlapping or completely different looks Swift rocked at her second show, which largely involved different colors or textures or — in the case of “22” — a T-shirt with different lettering. (On Saturday, the shirt read “Who’s Taylor Swift anyway? Ew” instead of Friday’s “A lot going on at the moment.”) The only look that’s almost certain to remain identical from night to night — even if more than one of the pieces might have been manufactured — is her striking outfit for the “Reputation” segment of the show, in which one leg is laid bare and the other is black while her torso is all red-and-sequined snakes. That is something you don’t just sub out for the sake of doing the laundry.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Surprise Songs: The List So Far

Fans will remember this tour all too well for years to come

seattle night 2 eras tour surprise songs

Every day is a fairytale on the Eras Tour

Taylor Swift has embarked on her first tour since 2018 , the singer has added to fans' excitement by performing two surprise acoustic songs from her 10 studio albums at some point during each three-hour show.

"The plan, the goal, would be to play different songs every single night and never repeat one," the singer and songwriter revealed to the audience at her first show of the tour.

Ticket-holders remained on the edge of their seats knowing no surprise song will be performed twice — unless Swift messes the song up during her performance — as she said at the April 1, 2023 show — or if it's off Midnights . In Melbourne, Australia in February 2024, Swift abolished her own no repeats rule — and has since begun playing medleys.

(So far, she's repeated "Begin Again," "Treacherous," "Paris," "Gorgeous," "Say Don't Go," "Welcome to New York," "Message in a Bottle," "New Romantics," "Now That We Don't Talk," "High Infidelity," "Jump Then Fall," "Long Story Short," "I Know Places," "All of the Girls You Loved Before," "Dorothea," "I Can See You," "Cornelia Street," "The Great War," "You're Losing Me," "I Forgot That You Existed," This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things," "The Lakes," "Hits Different," "Mean," "Castles Crumbling," "State of Grace," "Sweet Nothing," "Dancing with Our Hands Tied," "Ours," "The Lucky One," "Guilty as Sin," Untouchable," "Question...?" "Cowboy Like Me," "Right Where You Left Me'," All You Had to Do Was Stay," "Last Kiss," "Never Grow Up" "Wonderland," "I Almost Do," "The Moment I Knew," "Mr. Perfectly Fine," "Labyrinth," "Speak Now," "Paper Rings," "Stay Stay Stay," "It's Time to Go," "Better Man," "The Last Time," "Dear Reader," "Fresh Out the Slammer," "Imgonnagetyouback," "LOML," "Mirrorball," "Clara Bow," "Suburban Legends" and "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)," "Today Was a Fairytale," "The Black Dog," "End Game," "The Alchemy," "Dear John," "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys," "Long Live" and "The Archer" twice while "How You Get the Girl," "The Other Side of the Door," "Sparks Fly," "Snow on the Beach," "Our Song," "Fifteen," "Would've, Could've, Should've," "Daylight," "Haunted," "Mine," "Gold Rush," "This Love," "Dress," "Holy Ground," "Slut!" "False God," "This Is Me Trying," "Hey Stephen," "Teardrops on My Guitar," "You Are in Love," Call It What You Want," "Ivy," "I Don't Wanna Live Forever," "New Year's Day," "I Can See You," "I Think He Knows," "Sad Beautiful Tragic" and "Coney Island" have been played three times.

"Come Back...Be Here," "Is It Over Now?" "Exile" "Everything Has Changed" and "King of My Heart" have been played four times. "Clean," "Out of the Woods," "Red," "Death by a Thousand Cuts" and "Getaway Car" have been played five times. "Maroon" has been played eight times. "You're on Your Own, Kid" has been played 10 times.)

See Taylor Swift Debut ‘No Body, No Crime’ Live With Haim in Seattle

By Daniel Kreps

Daniel Kreps

Taylor Swift delivered the debut live performance of “No Body, No Crime” alongside the song’s featured guests Haim Saturday at her Era Tour stop in Seattle.

With Haim joining the tour as the opening act for the remainder of the North American leg, it was likely the sisters would join Swift onstage in some capacity, either for their Evermore collaboration or the Swift version of their own “ Gasoline .”

Fans didn’t have to wait long for the inevitable as, to kick off the Evermore portion of the Eras Tour show, Haim elevated onto the stage for the first-ever performance of “No Body, No Crime”; the song’s placement was more of a surprise, as Swift deviated from her usual, ironclad setlist — replacing “Tis the Damn Season” with “No Body, No Crime” — and not saving the performance for the Surprise Songs segment the guests usually appear.

Haim previously opened for Swift during her  1989  World Tour in 2015, and the Haim sisters —Este, Danielle, and Alana — and Swift have remained BFFs since that tour seven years ago, having celebrated birthdays, vacationed together, attended awards shows, and more numerous times since then.

The Eras Tour continues Sunday night in Seattle before heading down to California next weekend for its final eight U.S. shows, two in Santa Clara then six at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour surprise songs: Here's every song she played on US tour

Portrait of Ed Masley

When Taylor Swift opened her Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona (aka Swift City), she told the crowd that the two-song acoustic set she performs near the end of the marathon concert would be different each night.

On opening night in Arizona, her secret songs were "Mirrorball," one of eight songs she performed from "Folklore," and "Tim McGraw," the only song she played from her debut album.

All told, that first concert was a breathtaking reminder that her popularity is based as much on the connection she’s built with her fans as it is on her unerring knack for coming through with records people want to hear .

And Swift made good on her promise at every single concert on the U.S. leg, subbing in "This Is Me Trying" from "Folklore" and "State of Grace" from "Red" in the wild-card spot at her second sold-out date at State Farm Stadium,  where a couple got married in the front row .

As on opening night, the first of those surprise songs featured Swift on acoustic guitar while the second was done while seated at a piano.

On her first night in Arlington, Texas, she slipped "The 1" into the "Folklore" section of the concert, where she had been performing "Invisible String." As she told the fans at AT&T Stadium that night, if people think they can sit there and just scroll the setlist, they're wrong because she's changing it a little bit throughout the tour.

On July 1 in Cincinnati, she played a third surprise song for the first time ever with two guest vocalists (Aaron Dessner on "Ivy" and Gracie Abrams on "I Miss You, I'm Sorry."

Here's a look back at every single surprise song she played along the way.

Taylor Swift has been on her Eras Tour since March 2023, treating fans to old favourites and new hits alike in an incredible 3.5 hour setlist that sees her perform songs spanning from Midnights to 1989 to The Tortured Poets Department .

After what feels like an eternity of waiting, the singer rounded off the European leg of her Eras tour with a final date at London's Wembley Stadium this 20 August, performing a particularly special song for the occasion.

But since the tour began, Tay Tay has been treating each venue to two surprise Taylor Swift songs – which pull some absolute gems from her vast discography in a mini acoustic set.

Way back on 17 March 2023 for her Glendale show, Swift revealed: “The plan, the goal, would be to play different songs every single night and never repeat one. Right? So that when you heard one on this tour, you would know it’s the only time that I was going to play it in the acoustic set, unless — caveat — unless I mess it up so badly that I have to do it over again in some other city. Send your best wishes towards me that I don’t do that.”

So if all goes according to plan, each night of the Eras Tour will get to enjoy songs that no other stop on the tour will have heard.

But what's come up so far? Here are all the Taylor Swift surprise songs that have been played on the Eras Tour.

We've been loving Taylor for quite some time, time, time.

Taylor Swift Ends European Leg of Eras Tour With Surprise-Packed Show

By Paul Sandle

LONDON (Reuters) -Taylor Swift was joined by surprise guest Florence Welch for her first live performance of "Florida!!!" during the final European date of her Eras tour on Tuesday.

The pop megastar also debuted "So Long, London", a ballad that fans widely believe is about the end of her relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn, in the acoustic section of the show at Wembley Stadium.

Both tracks feature on Swift's eleventh studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department", which was released this year. Welch, of British indie rock band Florence + the Machine, co-wrote "Florida!!!" and sang on the recorded track.

Fans from near and far had travelled to London's Wembley Stadium for the show, Swift's fifth in the British capital in August and eighth this summer, as they snapped up the last opportunity to see her critically acclaimed show in Europe.

The London nights followed the cancellation of her shows in Vienna, when a planned attack was foiled by authorities.

Some of the 195,000 disappointed fans in Vienna rushed to buy tickets for the London dates on resale sites, where they were changing hands for up to 10 times face value.

Swift told the crowd that she had become the first solo artist to ever play Wembley eight times in a single tour. "We will never, ever be able to thank you enough for it," she said.

Eras, the first tour to surpass $1 billion in revenue, showcases all 11 of Swift's studio albums in dedicated sections. Her performances and the show's staging have been praised by critics.

Fans arriving in Wembley, dressed in sequins, cowboy hats, and forearms covered in friendship bracelets ready to swap with other Swifties, faced tight security checks.

While British police have said there was nothing to indicate the events in Vienna would impact any of the shows at Wembley, there was highly visible security at the stadium.

Tay-gating, the practice of gathering outside a Swift show without a ticket, as thousands did in Munich last month, has been banned, as authorities try to reduce harder-to-control risks outside the venue.

Marie Wright, aged 48, from Limerick, Ireland, bought tickets on a resale site on Monday evening and flew to London on Tuesday with her daughter’s best friend Aoife McCarthy, aged 15. Her own daughter had already seen the show in Dublin.

"She’s going to leave Europe, so we had to come for the last night," McCarthy said.

"Her songs have real meaning and there’s a poetry to them,” Wright added.

The tour returns to the United States in October and ends in Vancouver, Canada, in December.

Taylor Swift's surprise songs from Night 2 of her Lisbon Eras Tour show, including double mashups

T aylor Swift's Eras Tour continued its international journey on Saturday night in Portugal (afternoon in the United States) with the second of two shows in Lisbon. The now 14-time Grammy winner will be touring almost non-stop for the entire year, and at each show she adds two "surprise songs" to her 44-song, three hour plus set list.

For the second night in Lisbon, Swift went with two double mashups. On guitar, she played "The Tortured Poets Department" from her new album with the same name mixed with "Now That We Don't Talk" from 1989 (Taylor's Version) . On Piano, Swift broke out "You're On Your Own Kid" from Midnights mixed with "Long Live" from Speak Now.

Next up, Swift heads to Madrid, Spain for two shows to close out May.

Ed Sheeran joins Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium: Follow live updates from London

Portrait of Bryan West

LONDON — Welcome to the live blog for the Eras Tour in London!

Taylor Swift returns to the stage for the final stop on the European leg of the Eras Tour after a suspected terror plot was thwarted in Vienna. Security measures are tight at Wembley Stadium. Fans with floor tickets were not allowed to camp overnight in the hopes of getting a spot closer to the stage, and Swifties can no longer "Taylor-gate" outside of the stadium if they don't have tickets.

As the Taylor Swift reporter for the USA TODAY Network, I’ll be your host for the evening keeping you updated on all the happenings from inside Wembley Stadium. Since taking the Taylor Swift reporter job in November, I’ve watched the show 69 times in person or on grainy livestreams (equivalent to 230 hours or nine and a half days). Follow along for updates as we go on a little adventure spanning 18 years of music.

Confetti falls to the floor

And that’s a wrap on Thursday night in Wembley. Swift has four more shows in London. “The Alchemy” is ushering fans out as cleanups begin. Many fans are scurrying to pick up colorful confetti representing Swift’s various eras. 

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

The credits for the cast and crew are projecting on the back screen.

During year one, the background song was “You’re On Your Own Kid” from “Midnights.”

Will Swift make an announcement before her two-month break and return to North America? 

We will be covering the highlights over the next few days.

Karma is the guy on the...

We are in the final song of the night.

Swift wore the glistening sky-blue T-shirt during “Anti-Hero,” the dark blue one-piece during "Midnight Rain" and is now grooving in the magenta fur coat to wrap up night one in Wembley Stadium.

She has sang "Karma (Travis' Version)" 13 times for the 13 shows he's attended as her boyfriend where she swaps out "Karma is the guy on the screen" with "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs." And while she will sing the former tonight, the audience will most likely scream the latter.

Ed Sheeran joins Eras Tour stage

Swift welcomed special guest Ed Sheeran to join her onstage for a mashup of their songs "Everything Has Changed" and "End Game" on acoustic guitar. The British singer-songwriter appeared on the original album recordings of the songs that appeared on "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Reputation," respectively.

For the surprise set, the singer had something up her sleeveless blue dress. She began strumming her guitar singing “Everything Has Changed” from “Red (Taylor’s Version).”

The audience gasped. Some Swifties whispered, “Is Ed here?”

The song is a duet between Swift and her longtime friend Ed Sheeran.

“I just feel like something’s missing,” Swift said, and the decibel level in the stadium rocketed off the charts. “Good thing Ed Sheeran is here.”

He appeared on the center platform.

After harmonizing, the two mashed in “End Game,” another duet they sing on Swift’s sixth album “Reputation.” They finished with Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.”

The crowd belted the song.

As they both strummed at the end, they gave each other a big hug and raised their guitars in the air. Swift kissed the top of Ed Sheeran’s head and then ruffled his red locks.

“This is my best friend, he is like a second brother to me,” Swift said, mentioning Sheeran is on tour and probably tired. She asked the crowd to make some noise and the noise felt like it might break the sound barrier.

The shock that surged through the stadium with Ed Sheeran as a surprise guest couldn’t be matched but Swift delivered a sweet mashup on the piano between “King of My Heart” from “Reputation” and “The Alchemy” from “The Tortured Poets Department.” The watches glowed bright green.Where’s the trophy? That was an epic surprise set for night one in Wembley!

For a complete list of every surprise song and mashup, click here.

Here comes the 'Tayoomba'

She was tame, she was gentle. But now Swift is on the Roomba-esque machine. The maddening and shiny contraption allows her to belt high notes while chasing her dancers.

During the last few shows in Germany and Warsaw, Poland, Swift added a shriek after the second-to-last line, "So who's afraid of little old me?" She did it again in London on Thursday.

A cool effect that always gets fans excited is the final filtered shot on the back screen where Swift looks like a dead-eyed glowing soul. She always tilts her head to the side. She told Post Malone in her "Fortnight" behind-the-scenes video, "Nothing says crazy like a slight tilt to the head."

Wembley screams 'LON-DON' during 'Blank Space' chant

When Swift performed "Blank Space," one of her most famous songs and one of Travis Kelce's favorites, the crowd played its part. Between lines of the bridge, stadiums shout the names of their city while Swift sings, "Boys only want love if it's torture." This ritual started during Swift's stint in Sydney, Australia, because of the 1989 World Tour movie shot there in 2015. During the song, Swift grabbed an iron golf club and struck a metal pole sticking out of the stage: boom, boom. She paused and did it again: boom, boom. But this time sang "Syd-ney." You can read more about the chant here .

Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dawn

The lightning in the stadium sounded and Swift sauntered to meet her dancers dressed in green cloaks at the back of the stage. Holding glass, light-up orbs they recited the "Willow" chant. This is when fans blow up balloons and use cell phone lights to make them glow.

The Wembley Stadium listed balloons as one of the items not allowed inside, but a few hundred fans made orbs anyway.

In Amsterdam, three Swifties started the "Willow" trend. You can check out their story here .

Wembley gives Swift 3-minute standing ovation

When she pulled her inner ears out after "Champagne Problems," the audience lost it. She smiled and clutched her hands to her chest.

“If any of us — me, the dancers or the band — have a bad day again, we are going to replay that little memory in our minds,” she said to the crowd. 

Swift gets emotional during 'Folkmore' era

After finishing "Cardigan," Swift addressed the crowd.

"I just have to be honest with you guys now that I’ve calmed down a little bit," she said. "The first time I saw this crowd when I came out from backstage ... my whole mind went blank."

She described the feeling as a "love system overload."

"I can't believe that 92,000 people are being this loving and caring and generous to us all at once," she said. "It's just wonderful what you do for us. ... All of us are going to miss it so much when we don't get to do it anymore. Feelings and emotions that I didn’t think about before talking about in front of 92,000 people."

Eras Tour outfits

On Thursday, Swift wore the following:

  • Her blue and pink "Lover" bodysuit
  • Her silver blazer for "The Man"
  • Her black and silver "Fearless" dress
  • Her "A lot going on at the moment" T-shirt for "Red"
  • Her purple cupcake dress for "Speak Now"
  • Her classic "Reputation" bodysuit
  • Her green dress for "Folkmore"
  • Her green and pink top and skirt for "1989"
  • Her "Who's afraid of little old me? You should be" gown for "The Tortured Poets Department"
  • The black two-piece with a gold jacket for "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart"
  • Her blue dress for the acoustic set
  • Her sky-blue T-shirt for "Anti-Hero"
  • Her chevron bodysuit for "Midnight Rain"
  • Finally, Swift closed the show in her magenta fur coat

If you happen to have 10 minutes to spare...

Swift’s dancers exit the stage following “I Knew You Were Trouble” as Swift slings her guitar over her shoulder and heads to center stage alone. The Eras Tour's guitar hangs in anticipation of playing Swift's heartbreaking ballad from the “Red” era.

If not for the rerecording of her fourth era, Swifties may have never heard “All Too Well (10-Minute Version).” The singer stated in an interview that the original song had been edited down to five minutes. Fans implored her to release the lengthier version and she did as a vault song to “Red (Taylor’s Version).” The song skyrocketed on the charts, unseating “American Pie” by Don McLean as the longest No. 1 hit in Billboard’s Hot 100 chart history.

“We were lucky enough to play Wembley stadium back in June, were any of you there?” she asked Thursday to get a loud cheer response. “Thanks for coming back, you guys.”She asks if anyone is new. An even louder roar erupts.

Swift has performed the 10 minute and 13 second song 127 times. In total, that’s 1,298 minutes or 22 hours. At the end, white confetti will fall to the ground to represent snow referenced in the heartbreak anthem.

What did Kam say?

A fan-favorite for livestreamers is to log on and see what dancer Kameron Saunders is going to say during the bridge of “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

When Swift performed 53 shows across America, he said “Like Ever” as a response to Swift saying, “So he calls me up and he’s like, ‘I still love you,' and I mean this is exhausting, like we are never getting back together.” But for her international shows he mixed up the expression catering it to the culture and language of each international city.

On Thursday in London, Saunders said, “Are you mad?”

For a complete list of Saunders' sayings, click here .

The coveted '22' hat

Taylor Swift emerged for her “Red” era in her "A Lot Going On at the Moment" shirt. Swift has six custom-made shirts including: “We are never getting back together like ever,” “Who’s Taylor Swift anyway? Ew,” “This is not Taylor’s Version,” “I bet you think about me” and “I knew U were trouble.”

Different than her other tours, there are no meet-and-greets or secret fan rooms, so the closest a mere mortal can get to the superstar is being the one chosen as the “22" hat recipient. Swift’s team makes the selection moments before the concert begins and usually invites that person to the VIP tent area. At the conclusion of the “Fearless” era, her team will bring the lucky fan down to the end of the catwalk.

Swift autographs the brim of the black fedora designed by milliner Gladys Tamez. 

“I’ve been like so, so humble and so grateful to do this,” Tamez said in April, “because I’ve worked with her team for a long time and then to have this moment, I was excited.”

Tonight Swift has chosen the 127th member of the exclusive "22" fedora club .

Idris Elba attends Eras Tour

Actor Idris Elba attended Thursday's show. It's only appropriate since he iconically introduced "London Boy" on the "Lover" album. Before the beat drops he says, "We can go drivin' in, on my scooter / Uh, you know, just 'round London."

During Swift's June residency at Wembley, an abundance of A listers attended including Prince William and two of his children,  Sir Paul McCartney,  Jon Bon Jovi, Hugh Grant, Cate Blanchett, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Travis Kelce, Jason Kelce, Kylie Kelce and Swift's parents Scott and Andrea.

The last European shows of the Eras Tour

"What an absolute honor and what a delight and a thrill it is to say these words to you: London, welcome to the Eras Tour!" Swift told Wembley Stadium. “I stand here on this stage knowing that I’m about to play the first show of the last stop of the European leg of the Eras Tour, and the way that you’ve chosen to welcome us, 92,000 of you and screaming the words. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.” 

Swift thanked her opening acts, starting with Sofia Isella.

“It’s crazy to me that it’s coming to an end,” Swift says of touring Europe with her opening act Paramore.

Oh hi! Taylor Swift returns to the stage to perform her “Lover set.” This is the singer’s first appearance since her team canceled three shows in Vienna because of a thwarted terrorist plot. She glimmers in her blue and pink bodysuit.

The 34-year-old has five “Lover” bodysuit variations: tangerine, gold and blue, purple, pink, and blue and pink.

“Well fancy meeting you here at Wembley Stadium," she says, pointing to the restricted view section and tracing the arena. The 92,000 fans let out an ear-shattering roar.“OK well that was amazing. I’m really feeling like immediately that has gone to my head. You’ve got me feeling really, really powerful," she says as she puts on a silver jacket before singing "The Man."

Cue the Eras Tour overture

The backdrop screen to the Eras Tour just shifted to a countdown clock starting at 2:24. Leslie Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me” fills the stadium.

When the tour first started in March of 2023, fans were surprised Swift began her set with “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince,” but the opener makes sense due to the lines “it’s been a long time coming” and “it’s you and me, that’s my whole world." Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Swift had to cancel her Loverfest stadium show in 2021 and hadn’t toured since the Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018. 

After her first football stadium concert series and before the start of the Eras Tour, she released four new eras: “Lover,” “Folklore,” “Evermore” and “Midnights.” For the Eras Tour, she combined her 10 eras into a three-plus-hour show.

When Swift released “The Tortured Poets Department” in April — under the veil of secrecy — she and her dancers flew a little over a week early to Paris to rehearse an updated show. The crowd lost it when they saw the new version on May 9.

If you’re following along, here is the order of the eras in the overture:

  • “It's fearless”
  • “Big reputation”
  • “And they said ’Speak Now’”
  • “Into folklore”
  • “My name is Taylor, and I was born in 1989”
  • “Straight from the tortured poets department”
  • “Cause loving him was red”
  • “Meet me at midnight”

Standby: We're 'In Ha Mood'

The Ice Spice beat dropped. Swifties are trained to run back from the bathroom or concession stands as soon as they hear "In Ha Mood" begin playing. It means Taylor Swift will appear in about 10 minutes. 

The dancers and band will make their way to the stage. Taylor Swift is hidden in a “cleaning cart” at the end of the cast walking up the ramp. Her cart is being pushed by production workers who will stop the cart right before a set of stairs that take Swift to the main platform. 

“Applause” by Lady Gaga will play next. As the song blares across an anxious and excited audience, dancers will put pink and ombre parachute flaps on their backs and line up behind the main stage door.

Taylor Swift's massive set list of 46 songs

The crowd eagerly awaited the start of the show as the "Bejeweled" behind-the-scenes video played indicating Swift was about to embark on a three-plus-hour show era-by-era. Here is her 46-song setlist:

  • Lover: "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince," "Cruel Summer," "The Man," "You Need to Calm Down" and "Lover"
  • Fearless: "Fearless," "You Belong With Me" and "Love Story"
  • Red: "22," "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "All Too Well (10-Minute Version)"
  • Speak Now: "Enchanted"
  • Reputation: "...Ready For It?" "Delicate," "Don't Blame Me" and "Look What You Made Me Do"
  • Folkmore (Folklore and Evermore combined set): "Cardigan," "Betty," "Champagne Problems," "August," "Illicit Affairs," "My Tears Ricochet," "Marjorie" and "Willow"
  • 1989: "Style," "Blank Space," "Shake it Off," "Wildest Dreams" and "Bad Blood"
  • The Tortured Poets Department: "But Daddy I Love Him," "So High School," "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me," "Down Bad," "Fortnight," "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" and "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart"
  • Acoustic guitar mashup and acoustic piano mashup
  • Midnights: "Lavender Haze," "Anti-Hero," "Midnight Rain," "Vigilante S---," "Bejeweled," "Mastermind" and "Karma"

Paramore set list

“Oh yeah London! It’s good to be back with you," Hayley Williams boomed into the mic. "Oh how we’ve missed you. We can never get enough London. Ever!”“It’s an honor and a privilege to be here. Never in our entire world did we ever think we’d play at Wembley Stadium so thank you for making this possible.”Their set list included:

  • “Hard Times” with Blondie mashup of “Heart of Glass”
  • “Burning Down the House”
  • “Still Into You”
  • “Forgiveness”
  • “Caught in the Middle”
  • “The Only Exception”
  • “Misery Business”
  • “Ain’t It Fun”
  • “This Is Why”

The rousing opening act energized Wembley as Williams lay on the ground in the center spotlight and belted the end of “Ain’t It Fun.” London was overcast, with the open-roofed arena sitting at 73 degrees. The floor was packed with every inch covered by Swifties and the rest of the stadium filled to 60%. Swift will take the stage in about 30 minutes.

'Ain't it fun' that Paramore is here?

Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Zac Farro have been the opening act for Taylor Swift on the European leg of the  Eras Tour . The trio have dazzled for 43 shows across Europe. They will wrap their involvement on Tuesday and make their way back to Nashville, Tennessee, where they're based.

Right before leaving for Paris in May, Paramore was dubbed the Global Ambassadors for Record Store Day, a title Swift held in 2022. They surprised fans at Grimey's record store in Nashville.

Swift's final opening act for the remaining North America shows will be Gracie Abrams.

Is Travis Kelce coming back to Eras Tour?

It's not likely Swift's boyfriend will be at the shows in England. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has his final training camp practice on Thursday before the Chiefs' preseason home game on Saturday against the Detroit Lions. Although Swift could make the following preseason home game on Aug. 22 as the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears.

Who could forget Travis Kelce breaking the internet the last time Swift performed in Wembley by appearing on stage to carry her after her symbolic crash to the ground from "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived." He attempted to revive her alongside backup dancers Jan Ravnik and Kameron Saunders so she could sing, "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."

Sofia Isella set list

“This is the most insane view I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” opening act Sofia Isella told Wembley Stadium.

Her set list included:

  • “Cacao and Cocaine”
  • “Everybody Supports Women”
  • “Unattractive”
  • “I Looked the Future in the Eyes, It's Mine”

Isella played six songs in her 25-minute set.

Sofia Isella takes the stage

Similar to inviting three artists to open before Paramore in June, Swift has invited five singers to share the stage in Wembley Stadium. Up first is Sofia Isella , a 19-year-old classically trained violinist, songwriter, producer and singer. The rising star was born in Beverly Hills, California, but lives in Australia.

When Swift let the cat out of the bag on Aug. 5, Isella shared a message on Instagram: "Someone I’ve never met has changed my life even more than she already has just through her writing alone. Your fearlessness in continuing to push yourself and win again and again is the most joyful thing to watch, Taylor. Thank you."

The acts that will open the rest of the Wembley dates are:

  • Friday: Holly Humberstone
  • Saturday: Suki Waterhouse
  • Monday: Maisie Peters
  • Tuesday: Raye

Doors are open

It's official. Wembley Stadium has just opened the doors to allow VIP guests into the arena. The general admission sections will open in about thirty minutes. Thousands of Swifties are pouring in.

Lining up at 4 a.m.

Amy Willow of Brighton, United Kingdom, rode up on the overnight train with her two best friends hoping to get in line for Thursday night's Eras Tour show. The early morning wake up call landing her at Wembley Stadium at 4 a.m. was a good call. She ended up being first in line.

"I was like, 'Oh my God, there's going to be like a queue of a hundred people,'" she says four hours before general admission doors open. "Crickets, literal crickets. There was no one here. It was amazing."

Wembley Stadium tells fans without a ticket: Don't come

The stadium that seats 89,000 fans told anyone without an Eras Tour ticket not to come. Additional ticket checks have been added around the stadium and fans will need to show proof of passes before entering the general vicinity.

Wembley Stadium's website  also implemented stricter security measures including no overnight camping and no  "Taylor-gating,"  where devoted fans without tickets congregate outside of a stadium to listen to the live concert and engage in dancing and friendship bracelet trading. The stadium is not allowing anyone to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympics Steps at the front. Non-ticketholders will be "moved on."
