The Reputation Stadium Tour: Surprise Songs and Guests

The surprise songs, sometimes called secret songs or b-stage songs, they’ve become a hallmark of every Taylor Swift tour concert. It’s the time in which the Sparkly Dressed picks up the Sparkly Guitar (Sparkly Green in this era) and brings out a song from the vault. It’s a big vault, but somehow T-Swizzle has rummaged deep and brought some old cuts we thought we’d never hear again.

The surprise guests were rare but still amazing. Let’s not forget the amazing opening acts of Camila Cabello and Charli XCX.

All The Surprise Songs Taylor Swift Has Performed On Her "Reputation" Tour, And All The Ones She Needs To Sing

The B in B-stage actually stands for Blessed.

BuzzFeed Staff

In case you didn't know, the Queen of my Heart (otherwise known as Taylor Alison Swift) is currently living her best life on her Reputation Stadium Tour , and at every show she does an acoustic performance of a surprise song from her back catalog.

Without further ado, here are the surprise songs she's performed on her tour so far, and some others i think she ~should~ perform in my 100% expert opinion:.

Oh, and scroll all the way down for a handy playlist...

✨ THE SURPRISE SONGS SO FAR ✨

1. "all too well".

Sang in: Glendale, AZ, Pasadena, CA, and Arlington, TX

Taylor has performed "All Too Well" as a surprise song three times because she knows her own talent and she likes to play with our feelings. I was there for the Pasadena show and I spent the entire five minutes sobbing with my face in my hands because that's the power of "All Too Well".

2. "Wildest Dreams"

Sang in: Santa Clara, CA, Philadelphia, PA, and Tokyo, Japan

This was a regular B-stage surprise song in Santa Clara, but then when her flying sparkly basket broke in Philadelphia, she performed it a capella while flying in the giant snake skeleton. Queen of crisis management!

3. "The Best Day"

Sang in: Santa Clara, CA

She sang this on Mother's Day and honestly, just punch me in the face, I have too many feelings.

Sang in: Pasadena, CA

Before she sang this, Taylor was like, "I was trying to think of what song to play at the Rose Bowl, and I just went, 'Well, roses are red...'" Her mind!

5. "Holy Ground"

Sang in: Seattle, WA

Probably the second best song Taylor Swift has ever written and I am bitter that I wasn't there to see her sing it.

6. "Teardrops On My Guitar"

Sang in: Denver, CO

We love a classic!

7. "Our Song"

Sang in: Chicago, IL and Philadephia, PA

Clearly Taylor was on a ~let's play songs from the debut album~ kick during this part of the tour, and I'm not complaining at all. She also sang this a capella during the sparkly basket malfunction.

Sang in: Chicago, IL, Foxborough, MA, and Sydney, Australia

Squad member Martha Hunt suggested this one for the Chicago show, and obviously, Taylor granted her wishes, because she is a great friend.

9. "I Knew You Were Trouble"

Sang in: Manchester, UK and Perth, Australia

Before she sang this in Manchester, Taylor was like, "Even if you don't know the words, it's easy to remember this bit before the chorus". I don't know anyone who doesn't know the words to "I Knew You Were Trouble", but Taylor is just humble like that!!!

10. "I Don't Wanna Live Forever"

Sang in: Manchester, UK

A lowkey bop/collaboration with Zayn that they recorded for the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack. Oooh!

Sang in: Dublin, IE

The only negative thing I have to say about this is that she didn't replace the green guitar with a green banjo.

12. "How You Get The Girl"

This song invented wedding vows.

13. "So It Goes..."

Sang in: London, UK

So, this is the only song from Reputation that didn't make it to the regular setlist, but then Taylor sang it as the surprise song in London, and since then she's sang it a few times in place of "Dancing With Our Hands Tied". No shade to "So It Goes...", but that's not what "DWOHT" deserves.

14. "Fifteen"

The fifteenth show of the tour, of course!!! We love a mathematician!

Sang in: Louisville, KY

I'm not going to talk too much about this one because thinking about the Speak Now Tour makes me emo .

16. "Sparks Fly"

Sang in: Columbus, OH

Again, one of the best songs Taylor has ever written and probably deserved to be on the regular setlist but it's fine I guess!!!

17. "State of Grace"

Sang in: Washington, DC

Taylor really decided to incinerate my wig when she sang "Sparks Fly" and then "State Of Grace" one after the other.

18. "Haunted"

If my wig wasn't already incinerated after she performed "State of Grace", it for sure is now!!! "Haunted" goes off!

19. "Never Grow Up"

Sang in: Philadelphia, PA

Taylor sang "Never Grow Up" in Philadelphia after spending the day at her childhood home , which is adorable. It was also my birthday and honestly, that just makes me want to cry.

20. "Treacherous"

Philadelphia was truly blessed to get "Treacherous".

Sang in: Cleveland, OH

I really thought Taylor was going to sing "Babe" when I saw her in Manchester because it was the day before the music video came out, but she sang it in Cleveland instead, and I can't pretend I'm not upset about it.

22. "Welcome To New York"

Sang in: East Rutherford, NJ

This was the first show in New-York-but-technically-New-Jersey and if she hadn't performed "Welcome To New York" the world probably would've imploded.

23. "Fearless"

The second show in NJ was a rain show, and we all know how much Taylor stans rain . Taylor singing "with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress, fearless" in the middle of a rainstorm was honestly one of the most iconic moments of the tour so far.

24. "Enchanted"

Truly a classic. I can't believe Taylor didn't sing it earlier in the tour.

25. "Change"

Sang in: Foxborough, MA

This song always makes me super emo because it's basically the "Long Live" of the Fearless era, and I stan both of those things hard.

"Mine"'s younger sister who her parents (me) lowkey like more.

27. "Out Of The Woods"

Sang in: Toronto, ON and Auckland, NZ

We've known this was coming for a while, I'm just surprised it took this long.

28. "Come Back... Be Here"

Sang in: Toronto, ON

Taylor allegedly promised a fan in a meet and greet that she'd sing this as one of the surprise songs but I didn't want to get my hopes up enough to believe her. And then she DID IT.

29. "A Place In This World"

Sang in: Pittsburgh, PA

I honestly never even considered that we'd get to hear this song live in the year 2018 because it's 12 years old and everyone pays it dust. We love a queen who recognises her own talent!

30. "This Love"

Sang in: Atlanta, GA

The softest song on 1989 said hi in Atlanta.

31. "The Lucky One"

This song embodies the message of the Reputation era so much that I'm just surprised it took this long for it to pop up as a surprise song.

32. "Invisible"

Sang in: Tampa, FL

I never thought we'd get to hear Taylor sing this song in 2018 but she performed it at the request of a fan who told her listening to the song had helped him before he came out. You think I'm emo? You got that right!

33. "Breathe"

Sang in: Miami, FL

This is another song that Taylor has never performed live before, but she's really blessing our hearts and souls this tour. "The Moment I Knew" still has a chance!

34. "Better Man"

Sang in: Nashville, TN

It was basically guaranteed that Taylor would sing one of her more country songs in Nashville, and she didn't disappoint, blessing us all with a performance of Little Big Town's "Better Man" (which she wrote, duh).

35. "Tim McGraw"

If any show was going to get more than one surprise song, it was gonna be Nashville. "Tim McGraw" was Taylor's first ever single and not only did she sing a piano version, but she brought out the actual real-life Tim McGraw and Faith Hill to sing it with her. That's a glow up!!!!!!!

36. "Jump Then Fall"

Sang in: Detroit, MI

It's 2018 and Taylor Swift is singing songs from the Fearless Platinum Edition. Finally the attention it deserves!

37. "Begin Again"

Sang in: Minneapolis, MN

This is a soft song about letting go of the people who've hurt you in the past and allowing new people into your life, and it's exactly what Taylor deserves this era.

38. "Tied Together With A Smile"

If you haven't listened to this song from Taylor's debut album, you have to. She released it when she was sixteen, and the lyrics still make me cry at age 24.

39. "The Story Of Us"

Sang in: Kansas City, MO

According to Taylor herself, she hasn't played this song since the Speak Now Tour, and that is a tragedy.

40. "Forever And Always"

Sang in: Indianapolis, IN

Joe Jonas is shaking.

41. "Hey Stephen"

Sang in: St Louis, MO

Fearless is really getting her moment and I couldn't be more proud of her.

42. "Speak Now"

Sang in: New Orleans, LA

"Horrified looks from everyone in the room but I'm only looking at you" is actually about me screaming so loud at a Taylor Swift concert that I embarrass myself in front of everyone.

43. "Wonderland"

Sang in: Houston, TX

Taylor waited until the very end of the tour's US leg to bring out one of the best songs on 1989 and it didn't disappoint.

44. "White Horse"

Sang in: Arlington, TX

This is one of the saddest songs Taylor's written and her singing it in 2018 with a smile on her face really proved she's doing better than she ever was.

45. "I'm Only Me When I'm With You"

Sang in: Melbourne, Australia

Taylor hasn't sang this since the Fearless era and she got on that stage and sang it on a Friday night beneath the stars as if I was going to be calm about it.

46. "Starlight"

Sang in: Brisbane, Australia

I thought I was dreaming impossible things when I hoped for "Starlight" on the B-stage, but it turns out Taylor Swift can grant wishes!!!

47. "I Know Places"

Sang in: Tokyo, Japan

Taylor waited until the end of the tour to break out "I Know Places" and as much as I hated waiting for it, it was WORTH IT. Bless you, Taylor.

💖 THE SURPRISE SONGS WE NEED 💖

1. "out of the woods".

Frankly, I'm shocked that she hasn't performed this one yet. It has to be coming soon.

UPDATE: Taylor sang this in Toronto, ON

2. "The Story Of Us"

Basically just because it's a bop.

UPDATE: Taylor sang this in Kansas City, MO

3. "Better Man"

I know this is technically a Little Big Town song, but Taylor wrote it, and if she can sing "Babe" then she can sing this. Plus, I need her to bless my ears with an acoustic guitar version again.

UPDATE: Taylor sang this in Nashville, TN

Taylor already sang a little bit of "Clean" during the Reputation Tour, just because it was raining and she felt like it, but we will only see real justice once it's performed in full on the B-stage.

5. "Last Kiss"

I know Taylor is in a happy place right now and is therefore pretty much only singing happy songs (except "All Too Well" lol), but I need her to tear my heart out with "Last Kiss" at least once this tour.

6. "The Moment I Knew"

Apparently a fan in the Rep Room asked Taylor to perform this and she said no one would know the words to sing along, and I hate that because "The Moment I Knew" is an underrated classic. She needs to sing it live at least ONCE. Please, Taylor.

7. "Stay Beautiful"

Aside from the snakes, Taylor is all about being happy this era, and "Stay Beautiful" is basically the ultimate happy bop. So I'm gonna need her to sing it!

8. "The Other Side Of The Door"

We ALL deserve to hear this bridge performed live at least once.

9. "I Know Places"

I'm sorry, but this song encompasses the whole Rep era like no other, and yet we haven't seen a performance of it yet??? It's about being happily in love with a person and hiding your relationship from the media/the public, which, if you read it backwards, spells REPUTATION .

UPDATE: Taylor sang this in Tokyo, Japan

Again, we love a cute song about being in love with someone and not caring what anyone thinks about it, and we also love hearing them performed acoustically on the B-stage!

UPDATE: Taylor sang this in Foxborough, MA

11. "Picture To Burn"

I just want her to do the country accent again.

12. "I Wish You Would"

This is one of my favourite songs on 1989 so don't come for me. I love it and I want to hear it acoustic, because the lyrics are lowkey sad, and the production kind of masks that.

13. "New Romantics"

I don't know why she hasn't performed this one yet! It's coming! Watch this space!

14. "The Lucky One"

Again, this song completely encapsulates the message of this era – that Taylor is happier with her private life staying private. Also I just want more Red love.

UPDATE: Taylor sang this in Atlanta, GA

15. "You Are In Love"

I want a recreation of the 1989 tour, where she got the audience to echo the chorus back to her, because that was beautiful.

16. "Mary's Song (Oh My My My)"

I think the quality of the above image proves we need an updated performance of this adorable song from Taylor's debut album.

17. "Starlight"

I dream impossible things and those things are seeing Taylor perform "Starlight" on the Reputation Stadium Tour.

UPDATE: Taylor sang this in Brisbane, Australia

18. "All You Had To Do Was Stay"

This is one of 1989 's Holy Trinity of Bops (the other two are "I Wish You Would" and "How You Get The Girl", in case you were curious), and I think she needs to honour that.

19. "Cold As You"

Listen, Taylor KNOWS how much we all stan this song. I don't want to bring down her happy vibe, but I need her to sing "Cold As You" so I have an updated version to listen to when I'm in my feelings.

20. "Breathe"

This song is criminally underrated by Taylor herself. It's time to put that right.

UPDATE: Taylor sang this in Miami, FL

21. "Untouchable"

Imagine everyone's bracelets lit up and sparkling white while Taylor sings this on the B-stage? Iconic.

22. "Wonderland"

"Wonderland" deserves to be part of the regular setlist for every tour she ever does.

UPDATE: Taylor sang this in Houston, TX

23. "Everything Has Changed"

All I knew this morning when I woke, was I wanted Taylor to perform "Everything Has Changed" on the B-stage. She doesn't even need to invite Ed Sheeran as a special guest. I'm happy either way.

24. "Come Back... Be Here"

I NEED A LIVE PERFORMANCE OF "COME BACK...BE HERE" TAYLOR. PLEASE.

P.S. Here's a handy playlist of all the songs Taylor has performed on the B-stage so far...

Oh, look what we made her do ... Taylor Swift left country music and grew into a pop superstar who sells out massive football stadiums.

On her Reputation Tour at NRG Stadium in Houston on Saturday night (Sept. 29) — one of the last two U.S. shows on a multi-month global run — Swift, 28, was bright and bubbly and at her best, and even in snakeskin, she was familiar. The guitar-strumming teen with the warm smile and big heart for her fans is not dead, after all.

Swift has been on tour since May in support of her November 2017  Reputation  album, which is fully pop, but she blends in hits from the "old Taylor" seamlessly. "You Belong With Me" / "Love Story" / "Style" was a big mashed-song production that came early in a nearly two-hour set, and later, "Long Live" was a beautiful, raw ballad moment that put Swift at her sparkly grand piano. She mixed classics with new offerings to make unforgettable dance jams, and even brought out the confetti to "Shake It Off."

On her first-ever all-stadium tour, the superstar was mostly gracious to others, including her fans for coming to see her (thanked them several times) and to her backup singers, her dancers, her band and her all-female tour roster (a fact she called out), which included openers Charli XCX and Camila Cabello. Swift gave a special nod to security "who keeps us safe every night," and even the local crews who make an event like a concert for 50,000-plus screaming fans possible.

It's No Surprise Taylor Swift Is One of Country's Most Powerful Women Ever:

When not on the big stage, Swift zoomed across stadium in two different chariots — one reminiscent of "Love Story"-era Taylor Swift, complete with sparkly white lights, and the other a snake carcass — for mini-shows on small stages. Here she traded fireworks and flame blasts for a guitar and a mic stand on a stripped version of "Dancing With Our Hands Tied" and the fan-favorite "Wonderland" (a treat for Swifties who yearn for album cuts over hit singles), as well as the sexier "Blank Space" and "Dress."

"This is the most fun I have ever had on a tour ... I can't believe this tour has been a real thing," she remarked at one point, telling her captives that "even the coolest daydreams" she had as a kid didn't hold a candle to what she's been seeing on her  Reputation  Tour.

The 2018 run, which wraps in Japan in November, is a larger-than-life theatrical show that brings her bumpy story to big screens, going from light to dark to light again. There are subtle moments — like when the camera panned to the word "Reputation" on her piano after "New Year's Day" — but the significance wasn't lost on the crowd.

In the 12 years since we really met Swift with her debut country single , "Tim McGraw," she's grown and changed dramatically, both musically and personally, but she hasn't forgotten what fuels her: her fans. On Saturday night, Swift was candid about pitfalls she's faced in the last few years (public breakups, public lawsuits , public onslaughts from other celebrities) and spoke almost directly to the little girls in the room about bullying and what it means to have a "reputation." With awed faces, they seemed to absorb the message from their idol.

After a freeing, standout "Getaway Car," Swift shimmied into a remixed "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" / "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" closeout. After she left the stage for a final time, fans were greeted with an all-too-true message on the screens in an otherwise dark stadium:

"And in the death of her reputation, she felt truly alive."

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

Mailbag With Rob Harvilla

The so-called vinyl wars and other pop music news and notes, 24 question party people: clairo.

Every surprise song Taylor Swift performed during the Eras Tour's first US leg

• Taylor Swift has wrapped the first US leg for her blockbuster Eras Tour.
• Each night, she did an acoustic set with two surprise songs that were unlikely to be repeated.
• Swift performed "New Romantics" and "New Year's Day" for her sixth and final show in Los Angeles.

"Tim McGraw"

Swift performed her debut single from "Taylor Swift" on the tour's opening night in Glendale, Arizona.

"Mirrorball"

"Mirrorball," one of the highlights from 2020's "Folklore," is a song that explores Swift's role as an entertainer.

"This Is Me Trying"

"This Is Me Trying" was partially inspired by people who struggle with addiction and mental illness .

"State of Grace"

"Red (Taylor's Version)" also includes an acoustic version of "State of Grace," the album's opening track.

"Our Song"

Swift dedicated her first surprise song in Las Vegas to her opening act, beabadoobee, who'd said she wanted to hear "Our Song."

Swift played "Our Song" for a second time on August 4 in Los Angeles.

"Snow on the Beach (feat. Lana Del Rey)"

Swift performed her sole "Midnights" duet to celebrate the release of Lana Del Rey's new album, "Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd."

"I just think that she's the best we have," Swift told the crowd . "I think we need to make it a priority as a group to buy, stream and support this album."

"Cowboy Like Me"

Swift welcomed Marcus Mumford to the stage to sing their "Evermore" duet .

"White Horse"

Swift performed a stripped rendition of "White Horse" on the piano. It was originally released as the second single from "Fearless."

"Sad Beautiful Tragic"

Swift selected "Sad Beautiful Tragic," a deep cut from "Red," as her first surprise song in Arlington, Texas.

"I love this one," Swift told the crowd, according to fans . "When I love a song I don't care what anyone says."

"Ours"

"Ours" became just the second song from "Speak Now" that Swift performed on the Eras Tour.

"Death by a Thousand Cuts"

Swift previously performed an acoustic rendition of "Death by a Thousand Cuts" during a Paris concert in 2019 to celebrate the release of "Lover."

During her Texas performance, she messed up the bridge, leading her to break tradition and promise she'll "do it again on the tour."

True to her word, Swift played the song again on August 5 in Los Angeles.

"Clean"

"Clean," cowritten by Imogen Heap, is a fan-favorite track from her classic pop album, "1989." It was requested by Gracie Abrams, one of Swift's opening acts in Texas.

After fans expressed disappointment on TikTok that "Clean" wouldn't be repeated, Swift renewed hope with a comment that said, "I think I could probably have done it better in a higher key so that's technically a mess up."

She performed the song again two months later in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

"Jump Then Fall"

Swift told the Texas crowd that she "fell in love" with this "Fearless" deluxe track while rerecording her sophomore album.

"The Lucky One"

Swift introduced "The Lucky One" as a song "about how horrible being famous is."

"Speak Now"

Swift chose the title track from her third album as the first surprise song in Tampa, Florida.

She introduced the song by telling the crowd that she'd be "thinking a lot" about the album recently, possibly hinting at the imminent arrival of "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."

"Treacherous"

Swift performed the "Red" power ballad on the piano, possibly for the first time ever .

"The Great War"

Swift brought out Aaron Dessner, whom she described as her "collaborative soulmate," to perform a duet during her second show in Tampa.

Dessner, a member of the band The National, acted as Swift's primary collaborator on the sister albums "Folklore" and "Evermore." He also coproduced three tracks on Swift's "Midnights (3am Edition)," including "The Great War."

"You're On Your Own, Kid"

"You're On Your Own, Kid" became the third "Midnights" track to be chosen as a surprise song on the Eras Tour.

She told the crowd that if a surprise song is from her latest album, "I can do it however many times I want," adding, "I'm feeling very Midnights-y."

Indeed, Swift performed the song for a second time on August 5 in Los Angeles.

"Mad Woman"

Swift brought out Dessner once again in Tampa to perform "Mad Woman" on the piano.

"Mean"

While speaking to the crowd, Swift introduced the "Speak Now" single as "something that you would know and scream along with."

Shortly before the concert, Swift was spotted filming a music video with Joey King , who previously starred in the "Mean" music video .

"You're Not Sorry"

Swift said "You're Not Sorry" is another song she "fell in love with" while rerecording "Fearless."

"Wonderland"

Swift told the crowd in Houston, Texas that "Wonderland" is a "twisted" take on Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

"A Place In This World"

Swift said onstage that she wrote "A Place in This World" for her debut album when she was 13 years old, "but I think I relate to it more now 20 years later."

"Today Was a Fairytale"

Swift originally wrote "Today Was a Fairytale" for the 2010 film "Valentine's Day," in which she costarred with her then-boyfriend, Taylor Lautner.

"Begin Again"

Swift has described the original "Red" album closer as an "epiphany" and a "rebirth."

"Cold As You"

While introducing the emotional breakup ballad, Swift told the crowd in Houston that she believes "Cold As You" is the best song from her debut album .

"The Other Side of the Door"

Swift performed the "Fearless" deep cut for the first time ever during the tour's first stop in Atlanta, Georgia.

"Coney Island"

Swift debuted her live version of "Coney Island" in honor of The National.

That same day, the band released their ninth studio album, "First Two Pages of Frankenstein," which includes another duet with Swift, titled "The Alcott."

"This band has influenced me beyond my ability to verbalize how much they've influenced me — just lyrically, their ability to set a scene, their ability to tell a story," Swift said onstage, per Spin magazine .

"High Infidelity"

Swift performed "High Fidelity" in Atlanta on April 29.

The song includes the cryptic lyric , "Do you really wanna know where I was April 29?"

"Gorgeous"

"Gorgeous" became the first surprise song to be selected from "Reputation."

"I Bet You Think About Me"

"I Bet You Think About Me" became the first vault track from "Red (Taylor's Version)" to be performed as a surprise song on the Eras Tour.

Swift told the crowd that she was inspired to sing the country-pop single when she was still awake at 3 a.m. the previous night.

"How You Get the Girl"

"'How You Get the Girl' is a song that I wrote about how you get the girl back if you ruined the relationship somehow and she won't talk to you anymore," Swift told  Audacy  in 2014.

"Sparks Fly"

Swift performed the fan-favorite "Speak Now" single after surprising Nashville concertgoers with the announcement of "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."

"Teardrops on My Guitar"

Swift wrote "Teardrops on My Guitar" while attending Hendersonville High School in Tennessee.

"Out of the Woods"

Swift promised she'll perform "Out of the Woods" again on the Eras Tour after she stumbled over the song's bridge.

"Fifteen"

Swift dedicated "Fifteen" to her "beautiful, redheaded high-school best friend," Abigail Anderson Berard, who was in attendance at the show .

She also tweaked the lyrics in the bridge to reflect their growth: "Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind / And we both cried / But that's alright."

"Would've, Could've, Should've"

Dessner made another surprise cameo to perform "Would've, Could've, Should've," which Insider previously named the No. 1 best song of 2022 .

Swift described the "Midnights" bonus track as "one of our favorite songs we've done together."

"Mine"

Swift introduced "Mine" as a sort of precursor to "Folklore."

"I talk a lot about how 'Folklore' was the first time I was writing in characters and stuff, but actually 'Speak Now,' I was inventing scenarios that definitely weren't happening in my life," she said onstage .

Swift said she relates to "Speak Now" more as an adult, describing her songwriting process at the time as "cinematic" and using a lyric from "Mine" as an example: "There's a drawer of my things at your place."

"Those are things that I was not partaking in at 18 and 19 when I wrote these songs, but it's been such a privilege and such a treat to go back and rerecord them," she continued. "It's really crazy to go back and listen to these songs that at the time were fantasy but now feel really relatable to me."

"Gold Rush"

Before performing "Gold Rush" as the first surprise song in Philadelphia, Swift clarified an oft-debated lyric: "I see me padding across your wooden floors / With my Eagles T-shirt hanging from the door."

"I saw some people wondering if it was the band the Eagles or the team the Eagles," Swift told the crowd . "And I love the band the Eagles, but guys, like, come on, I'm from Philly. Of course it's the team."

Swift grew up in West Reading, Pennsylvania before she relocated to Nashville as a teenager.

"Come Back...Be Here"

Swift performed the "Red" deluxe track in honor of her opener and friend, Phoebe Bridgers .

"I take requests if they are polite and decently worded," she told the crowd .

"Forever & Always"

Insider previously ranked "Forever & Always" as Swift's 12th-best breakup song of all time .

"This Love"

"This Love" is one of two songs from "1989" that Swift has rerecorded and released ahead of "1989 (Taylor's Version)," which has yet to be announced.

"Hey Stephen"

Swift said "Hey Stephen" was another request, presumably from her rumored boyfriend at the time, Matty Healy, who previously shared the song on his Instagram story .

"The Best Day"

Swift performed "The Best Day" on Mother's Day. The "Fearless" cut was inspired by her own mom, Andrea.

"Should've Said No"

Swift performed the fan-favorite single from her debut album as the first surprise song in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

"Better Man"

Swift introduced "Better Man" as a song that "narrowly" missed the cut for the original "Red" tracklist.

"Invisible"

Swift told the crowd that she wrote "Invisible" when she was 13 years old.

"Question...?"

Swift told fans that "Question...?" brings up "a lot of happy memories."

"I've just never been this happy in my life in all aspects of my life, ever before," she said onstage . "My life finally feels like it makes sense."

"I Think He Knows"

Swift introduced "I Think He Knows" as a song that was "just so fun to make."

"Red"

Swift was forced to perform "Red," her second surprise song of the night, on guitar instead of piano due to water damage from the night before .

"Getaway Car"

Swift brought out Jack Antonoff, "Reputation" producer and New Jersey native, to perform her first surprise song in East Rutherford.

"Maroon"

"Maroon" is one of several songs in Swift's discography that mention New Jersey's next-door neighbor ("And I chose you / The one I was dancing with in New York").

Swift performed the "Midnights" track for a second time on August 3 at SoFi Stadium.

"Holy Ground"

In the first verse of "Holy Ground," Swift sings, "I was reminiscing just the other day / While having coffee all alone, and Lord, it took me away / Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time."

"False God"

Swift previously performed "False God," which references both New York City and its West Village, on "Saturday Night Live" in 2019.

"Welcome to New York"

During Swift's final concert in East Rutherford, she played "Welcome to New York" on guitar, calling the choice "self-explanatory."

For her second song, Swift performed "Clean" on piano, which she previously sang in Texas.

"I didn't really mess this one up badly or embarrassingly, but I did play it before, and I thought I could've done it in a higher key," she told the crowd. "This is a song that I felt like, just based on what I've seen from you guys, that you might want to hear."

"I Wish You Would"

While playing the "1989" deep cut in Chicago, Illinois, Swift exclaimed, "Oh my God, you know it!" as the crowd sang along. 

"The Lakes"

Although "The Lakes" was inspired by the Lake District in the UK , Swift played the deluxe song from "Folklore" at Soldier Field, which is located along the shore of Lake Michigan. 

"You All Over Me"

Swift brought out Maren Morris during the second night in Chicago for the first-ever live performance of the "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" vault track.

"I Don't Wanna Live Forever"

Swift played another duet for the second night in Chicago, but she performed the song sans Zayn Malik.

"Hits Different"

"Hits Different" is a "Midnights"deluxe track, but was originally only available on the Target-exclusive lavender CD. It was finally added to streaming services on May 26 as part of "Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition)."

"I don't know if you'll know this one, it's kinda new. But we'll see," Swift told the Chicago crowd.

"The Moment I Knew"

Although "The Moment I Knew" was first released on the deluxe edition of "Red" in 2012, Swift had never performed the song live until the Eras Tour. 

"Haunted"

Swift performed "Haunted" for her first surprise song in Detroit, Michigan, ahead of the "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" release on July 7.

"I Almost Do"

In the "Red" liner notes , this song's secret message said, "Wrote this instead of calling."

"All You Had to Do Was Stay"

"I really don't think I've ever played this acoustic, but I love this song so much," Swift said while introducing the fifth track on "1989."

"Breathe"

Swift wiped away a tear  after performing the Colbie Caillat duet on piano.

"Mr. Perfectly Fine"

Swift delivered the live debut of "Mr. Perfectly Fine" during night one in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

"The Last Time"

The "Red" ballad was cowritten by Gary Lightbody, the frontman of alt-rock band Snow Patrol.

"Seven"

Swift told the Pittsburgh crowd that she's always wanted to play "Seven" in her home state. The song includes the lyric, "But I, I was high in the sky / With Pennsylvania under me."

"The Story of Us"

Before playing the "Speak Now" single, Swift said her fans have been "dreamboats" about her rerecording process and thanked them for being "supportive."

"Paper Rings"

Swift performed the "Lover" deep cut in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"If This Was a Movie"

"If This Was a Movie" was originally included as a deluxe track on "Speak Now," but Swift excluded "If This Was a Movie (Taylor's Version)" from the rerecorded tracklist. Instead, it was released as a standalone track with the "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" cover art.

"Dear John"

Before introducing "Dear John," Swift asked fans not to use "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" as an excuse to cyberbully her exes .

"I'm 33 years old. I don't care about anything that happened to me when I was 19," she said. "I'm not putting this album out so you can go on the internet and defend me against someone you think I wrote a song about 14 million years ago."

"Daylight"

The "Lover" closer was the final surprise song in Minneapolis.

"I'm Only Me When I'm With You"

Swift described this debut track as "kind of a perfect jumping vibe" while onstage.

"Evermore"

The studio version of "Evermore" is a duet with Bon Iver.

"Ivy"

Swift brought out Dessner again to perform "Ivy" in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is the musician's hometown.

"Call It What You Want"

In addition to "Ivy" and "Call It What You Want," Swift also performed "I Miss You, I'm Sorry" with Gracie Abrams during night two in Cincinnati.

"Never Grow Up"

Swift said her first show in Kansas City, Missouri was an "album release party" for "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)," which was released earlier that day.

In addition to her two surprise songs, Swift debuted the music video for "I Can See You" and added "Long Live" to the setlist.

"When Emma Falls In Love"

"When Emma Falls In Love" is one of the six vault tracks that Swift added to "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)." Many fans believe it was inspired by her close friend, Emma Stone.

"Last Kiss"

In the "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" prologue , which can be found in physical copies of the album, Swift described "Last Kiss" as "the saddest song I've ever written."

She messed up the lyrics while performing the ballad, meaning she will likely play it again during the Eras Tour.

"Dorothea"

The titular subject of "Dorothea" may have been inspired by Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz," making it fitting surprise song for Kansas City ("I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," she says in the film).

"Picture to Burn"

Swift played the debut-era single for the first time in 13 years during night one in Denver, Colorado.

"Timeless"

Swift delivered the first-ever live performance of "Timeless," the closing track on "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."

"Starlight"

The deep cut from "Red" was inspired an old photo Swift saw of Ethel and Robert Kennedy as teenagers.

"Back to December"

Taylor Lautner has confirmed that his teenage relationship with Swift inspired the breakup ballad.

"This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things"

The cheeky kiss-off was previously used as the closing song on the Reputation Stadium Tour.

"Everything Has Changed"

The studio version of "Everything Has Changed" is a duet with Swift's close friend Ed Sheeran.

"Message in a Bottle"

Swift played the "Red" vault track during her second Eras Tour stop in Seattle.

"Tied Together With a Smile"

In 2007, Swift told Entertainment Weekly that "Tied Together With a Smile" was inspired by "a gorgeous, popular girl in high school" who had an eating disorder.

"Right Where You Left Me"

Swift brought out Dessner once again for the live debut of the "Evermore" deluxe track.

"This is one of the wordiest songs. I have been rehearsing this for weeks, OK? And I've never, ever gotten it 100% right," she told the crowd .

In fact, Swift did stumble over the lyrics in the bridge and stopped the song to laugh. 

"Castles Crumbling"

"Castles Crumbling" is a duet with Hayley Williams that was released with "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."

"Stay Stay Stay"

Swift hadn't performed the upbeat love song since the Red Tour.

"All of the Girls You Loved Before"

Swift released "All of the Girls You Loved Before," originally cut from "Lover," as a standalone song after a leaked demo went viral on TikTok .

"I Can See You"

In addition to her second performance of "Maroon," Swift delivered the live debut of "I Can See You" during her first of six shows in Los Angeles.

"You Are in Love"

In addition to her second performance of "Our Song," Swift played "You Are in Love" on the piano during night two at SoFi Stadium.

The "1989" bonus track was inspired by her friends Jack Antonoff and Lena Dunham , who were in a relationship when the album was written.

"Dress"

"Dress" was a setlist staple during the Reputation Stadium Tour. Each night, Swift would dedicate the song to Loie Fuller, a gay woman and  pioneer of modern dance in the early 20th century.

While introducing "Dress" during the Eras Tour in Los Angeles, Swift said she misses playing it live.

"Exile"

Swift performed "Exile," a duet with Bon Iver, by herself on the piano.

"I Know Places"

"I Know Places" was previously a fixture on the setlist for the 1989 World Tour.

"King of My Heart"

For the penultimate show on the first US leg, Swift broke out a rare "Reputation" track on the piano.

"New Romantics"

Swift performed the fan-favorite deluxe track from "1989" just after announcing the forthcoming release of "1989 (Taylor's Version)."

"New Year's Day"

The closing track on "Reputation" was the final surprise song on the Eras Tour's first US leg.

All of the surprise songs Taylor Swift has sung on the Eras Tour so far

Taylor Swift is still touring on one of the hottest tours in history.

On opening night, the concert broke Madonna’s previous record for “the most-attended female concert in U.S. history.” And the Eras Tour is currently on track to become the highest-grossing tour of all time, according to Evie Magazine .

In 2023, Swift performed her three-hour and 15-minute set 44 times — 11 times in her Latin America shows and 33 times in the U.S. shows.

Taylor Swift The Eras Tour setlist format

During the show, Swift has the same 42-song setlist with a window where she performs an additional two “surprise songs” for concertgoers. She plays the first song on an acoustic guitar and the second she plays on the piano.

Following her first show in 2024, the show followed the same format, so fans assume it will continue throughout the rest of the tour.

“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,” she said during the first show in Glendale, Arizona, per Billboard .

She started out with the rule of no repeats, but did end up repeating a few songs throughout the tour in 2023.

After her last shows of 2023, she did say she decided to do a hard reset for the 2024 shows.

“I decided that in 2024, when we go back on tour, I’m just gonna open back up all the songs for surprise songs,” she said, per Us Weekly .

Then in February during a show in Melbourne, Australia, she chose chaos and scrapped the rules entirely.

“I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward and I don’t want to limit anything or say, ‘Oh, if I played this song, I can’t play it again,’” Swift said, per US Weekly . “So, from now on, I don’t want to take any paint colors out of the paintbox [or] tools out of the toolbox.”

💬 | “Welcome to the acoustic section! There used to be rules for the acoustic section, and now I’ve just decided that I can do whatever I want.” — Taylor on surprise songs #ParisTStheErasTour pic.twitter.com/sv6XoAwTuG — Taylor Swift News (@TSwiftNZ) May 11, 2024

What Taylor Swift says about the surprise songs on her tour

Before she plays the song, she will often share an introduction to it or explain the meaning or background behind it.

“I was trying to think of sort of an eloquent way to say that I love you and I need your attention all the time, and I came up with ‘I’m a mirrorball,’” Swift said before introducing “mirrorball” at her first show in Glendale, Arizona in March, per Mashable .

Other times, she will perform a song at the request of one of her friends or openers. During Swift’s performance in Arlington, Texas, she played “Clean” because she heard it was Gracie Abrams’ favorite song.

“I felt so grateful to hear it in that way, so stripped and raw,” Abrams told Teen Vogue. “That song has been kind of a constant security blanket since it came out. I have so many little memories listening to that song at times when I needed it.”

Some songs have even gotten guest appearances from other artists, like when Marcus Mumford joined her to perform “Cowboy Like Me” in Las Vegas or Aaron Dessner joined her to perform surprise songs multiple nights in Tampa.

Taylor's Surprise Song Mashups Are Getting Longer Than Ever

Remember when she would only do two surprise songs?

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.”

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

The Glendale, AZ Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Swift kicked off the surprise song tradition with an acoustic performace of her Folklore track “Mirrorball .”

She then threw it all the way back to the beginning of her career with “Tim McGraw .”

She followed that up with her Red ballad “State of Grace .”

She then dedicated “Clean ” to opening act Gracie Abrams.

However, this marked the first night of the tour where Swift admitted she’d be redoing her surprise songs at a later date.

For her final night in Arlington, Swift performed “Jump Then Fall .”

She followed up with “ The Lucky One .”

The Tampa, FL Eras Tour Surprise Songs

She also performed “Treacherous .”

Swift performed “ You’re on Your Own, Kid .”

She also had a surprise guest for this concert. She welcomed her collaborator Aaron Dessner to the stage to perform “The Great War ” with her.

Dessner performed with Swift again the next night. This time, the duo sang the folklore track “Mad Woman .”

Then, Swift busted out her Speak Now single “Mean .”

The Houston, TX Eras Tour Surprise Songs

For her first Houston show, Swift surprised the audience with “ Wonderland .”

And followed it up with “ You’re Not Sorry .”

She then retired to her piano to sing “Cold As You ” from her 2009 debut album.

The Atlanta, GA Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Swift threw it back to her Fearless eras for her first Atlanta show, playing “The Other Side of the Door. ”

She also got emotional with a performance of “Coney Island .”

Every Swiftie already knew what one of the surprise songs would be for the April 29 show. Swift did not disappoint, and performed “High Infidelity ,” which features the lyric, “Do you really want to know where I was April 29th?”

Swift also sang her first surprise song from Reputation , “Gorgeous .” However, Swift messed up the performance a bit, so she revealed she’d be doing “Gorgeous” again at a later date.

At her final Atlanta show, Swift performed “ I Bet You Think About Me .”

And she also played “ How You Get the Girl .”

The Nashville, TN Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Swift fans knew she would make her Nashville shows extra special, and she definitely did by announcing the re-release of Speak Now at her May 5 concert. The whole stadium celebrated the big announcement by singing “Sparks Fly .”

Swift also threw it back all the way to the start of her career by playing “Teardrops on My Guitar .”

With Swift’s best friend Abigail Anderson in the audience, the singer dedicated a special version of “Fifteen ” to her bestie.

She also sang “Out of the Woods .” However, because she messed up the bridge , Swift confirmed she would be performing this song again at another tour date.

For her last night in Nashville, Swift brought out Dessner once again to perform her Midnights bonus track “ Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve ” with her.

She also performed her Speak Now single “ Mine .”

The Philadelphia, PA Eras Tour Surprise Songs

She also performed “Come Back... Be Here ,” which was requested by opener Phoebe Bridgers .

Swift performed her Fearless track “ Forever & Always .”

She then slowed things down with her 1989 ballad “ This Love .”

Swift closed out her hometown shows by playing “Hey Stephen .”

She also performed “The Best Day .”

The Foxborough, MA Eras Tour Surprise Songs

For her first show in Massachusetts, Swift delivered an acoustic version of “Should’ve Said No .”

Then she traded the guitar for the piano to sing “Better Man .”

As rain poured down on her, Swift performed her Midnights bonus track “ Question...? ”

She followed that up with “ Invisible .”

To close out her Foxborough weekend, Swift surprised the crowd with “ I Think He Knows .”

Then she performed her hit single “ Red (Taylor’s Version) .”

The East Rutherford, NJ Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Swift kicked off her New Jersey shows by bringing her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff on stage for a surprise “Getaway Car” duet .

Then she sat at her piano to sing “Maroon .”

Swift leaned into a bit of a religious theme for her second New Jersey show. First, she performed “Holy Ground .”

Then, she delivered a chilling rendition of “False God .”

Every NYC Swiftie who trekked over to East Rutherford was expecting the same surprise song all weekend, and Swift finally delivered it on the final night: “ Welcome to New York .”

Swift then performed her first repeat surprise song of the Eras Tour. She originally messed up her version of “Clean” a couple months earlier and promised to re-perform it, which she did in New Jersey.

The East Chicago, IL Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Swift kicked off her Chicago shows by singing “I Wish You Would .”

Then she treated the crowd to her Folklore bonus track “ The Lakes .”

Swift made her second Chicago show extra special by bringing out Maren Morris for a live duet of “You All Over Me .”

She then gave an emotional performance of “ I Don’t Wanna Live Forever .”

To celebrate her announcement that the beloved Midnights bonus track “Hits Different” would finally be released on streaming , Swift performed it in her final Chicago show .

She followed it up with “ The Moment I Knew .”

The East Detroit, MI Eras Tour Surprise Songs

The first surprise song for Detroit was “ Haunted .”

That was followed by “ I Almost Do .”

Swift’s first surprise song of the night was “ All You Had To Do Was Stay .”

Then she traded her guitar for the piano to perform “Breathe .”

The Pittsburgh, PA Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Swift kicked off her Pittsburgh shows by playing “Mr. Perfectly Fine .”

And she also surprised the audience with “ The Last Time .”

Swift welcomed Aaron Dessner back onto the stage for a surprise “Seven” duet .

Then she performed “ The Story of Us .”

The Minneapolis, MN Eras Tour Surprise Songs

For her Minneapolis shows, Swift started things off with “ Paper Rings .”

She kept the romantic vibes going with “ If This Was a Movie .”

Swift had a message for her fans before performing “Dear John .” She urged them to not “feel the need to defend me on the internet against someone you think I might have written a song about 14 billion years ago.” Of course, this was likely referencing the increased hate John Mayer received online ahead of the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) .

The vibes were much brighter after that, as Swift shifted into singing “Daylight .”

The Cincinnati, OH Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Her first surprise song for Cincinnati was “ I'm Only Me When I'm with You .”

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

Swift once again welcomed her frequent collaborator Aaron Dessner to the stage to perform a fan-favorite cut, “ Ivy .”

She also sang “ Call It What You Want .”

And, in the biggest surprise of all for the Cincinnati crowd, Swift added a third surprise song for the first time in her Eras Tour. Because opener Gracie Abrams couldn’t perform her opening set due to weather conditions, Swift brought her on stage so she could perform her song “ I Miss You, I’m Sorry ” alongside her.

The Kansas City, MO Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Naturally, Swift went all in on Speak Now songs to celebrate the release date of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) on July 7. After inviting Taylor Lautner and Joey King to the stage to premiere the “I Can See You” video, Swift surprised the audience with " Never Grow Up ."

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 Denver, CO Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Swift gave the Denver crowd a true classic by performing “Picture to Burn .”

She also gave a rare live performance of "Timeless ."

For her second night in Denver, Taylor performed "Starlight ."

Along with the big Speak Now ballad, " Back to December ."

The Seattle, WA Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Swift kicked off her Seattle shows by taking it back to her Reputation era with " This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things ."

She also performed " Everything Has Changed ."

For her second night in Seattle, Swift sang "Message in a Bottle ."

As well as " Tied Together with a Smile ."

The Santa Clara, CA Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Once again, Swift brought out Aaron Dessner. This time, they two sang " Right Where You Left Me ."

She also delivered the live debut of her Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) vault track " Castles Crumbling ."

For Night Two in Santa Clara, Swift surprised the crowd with " Stay Stay Stay ."

Followed by " All Of The Girls You Loved Before ."

The Los Angeles, CA Eras Tour Surprise Songs

For the first show in the final city of the U.S. leg of her tour, Swift performed her newly released Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) vault track “ I Can See You .”

She also delivered her second Eras Tour performance of " Maroon ."

Another repeat — Swift dusted off "Our Song " for a second time after initially performing it at one of the tour’s first shows in Las Vegas.

She followed that up with " You Are in Love ."

For her third night in L.A., Swift sang her fan-favorite Lover track " Death by a Thousand Cuts ."

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.

To celebrate 1989 (Taylor’s Version) , she sang “New Romantics” from the 9-year-old album.

She then turned her attention back to Reputation and performed “New Year’s Day .”

The Mexico City, MX Eras Tour Surprise Songs

For her first international stop on the Eras Tour, Swift performed an acoustic version of “ I Forgot That You Existed .”

She also sat at her piano to perform a rendition of “Sweet Nothing .”

She gave the Mexico City crowd a serious throwback when she sang “Tell Me Why .”

Her second surprise song was “ Snow on the Beach .”

Swift made sure to give the fans what they wanted on her third night in Mexico City. She introduced her performance of “Cornelia Street ” by noting it was a song she’d been hearing a lot of requests for throughout her tour.

She then sang "You're on Your Own, Kid ," making it the first surprise song to get three performances on the Eras Tour.

The “You’re on Your Own, Kid” record didn’t last long, though. On her final night in Mexico City, Swift performed “Maroon” for the third time .

She also sang her Lover ballad “ Afterglow .”

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) .

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.

She also treated them to the live debut of “Suburban Legends .”

November 19

After having to cancel her Saturday concert due to extreme temperatures, Swift returned to the stage on Sunday and surprised the audience with “ Dancing With Our Hands Tied .”

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 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 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 Melbourne, AUS Eras Tour Surprise Songs

February 16.

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

The first song may have been super well-known, but Swift went obscure for her second pick. After telling the crowd she’s never performed this track live before , Swift launched into her Midnights bonus track “You’re Losing Me .”

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 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 Singapore Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Sydney wasn’t the only stop to be blessed with some surprise mashups. Swift opened her Singapore shows with a mashup of “Mine” and “Starlight .”

At the piano, she combined her songs “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” and “Dress .”

Swift had a lot of stories to tell on her second night in Singapore. She mashed up “Long Story Short” with “The Story of Us .”

She concluded with one of her most emotional mashups yet: “Clean” x “Evermore .”

For her guitar mashup, Swift combined “Foolish One” with “Tell Me Why .”

She got extra romantic for her second surprise mashup — marrying “This Love” with “Call It What You Want .”

Swift’s first mashup on March 7 took the whole crowd by surprise. After launching into fan-favorite “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” she combined the song with her lesser-known Sugarland feature “Babe .”

Next, Swift had a message for her younger self. She got super nostalgic for her adolescence, combining “Fifteen” with “You’re on Your Own, Kid .”

Swift took a golden opportunity to mash up her songs “Sparks Fly” and “Gold Rush .”

She also merged her songs “False God” and “Slut! ”

For her final show before a long hiatus, Swift threw it all the way back her country roots by combining “Tim McGraw” and “Cowboy Like Me .”

She then got contemplative with a mashup of “Mirrorball” and “Epiphany .”

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 .”

Swift vented about some exes during her second night in Paris. First, she mashed up her 1989 songs "Is It Over Now?" and "Out of the Woods ," both of which are speculated to be about Harry Styles .

Then, she delivered the live debut of "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys" from Tortured Poets Department , thought to be inspired by her relationship with Matty Healy.

For her guitar song, Swift sang the Fearless throwback " Hey Stephen ."

She followed that up with " Maroon ," marking the fifth time it’s been a surprise song.

Swift delivered one of her most joyful surprise song sets for her 87th Eras Tour show, given that her boyfriend Travis Kelce was in the audience and 87 is his jersey number. She delivered a mashup of "The Alchemy" and "Treacherous" as a tribute to Kelce .

She capped off her time in Paris by with a full-circle moment, reprising the first surprise song she sang in the city and combining it with "Begin Again ."

The Stockholm, SWE Eras Tour Surprise Songs

Swift didn’t leave the romantic vibes in Paris. She kicked off her Stockholm shows by surprising the crowd with a lovey-dovey mashup of “I Think He Knows” and “Gorgeous .”

And she also treated the audience to the live debut of her Tortured Poets song “Peter .”

Another Tortured Poets live debut: Swift sang the fan-fave “Guilty As Sin?” live for the first time .

Afterwards, Swift performed her longest mashup yet, combining “Say Don’t Go,” “Welcome to New York,” and “Clean .”

She kept this new three-song mashup trend going in honor of producer Max Martin attending the final Stockholm concert. She sang three songs Martin produced for her: “Message in a Bottle,” “How You Get the Girl,” and “New Romantics .”

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

What surprise songs did Taylor Swift perform on The Eras Tour? Here's the full list. (Updated live during every show)

Listen to this article

Taylor Swift 's The Eras Tour is in full swing, and just as fans had hoped, Taylor has confirmed that she will be performing surprise songs on every single night of the tour.

If you've been a fan of Taylor for a while, you'll know that she always includes a surprise song or two in her tour set lists. The tradition goes all the way back to the Speak Now World Tour, where she included the surprise covers she performed during that era.

With the tour now officially underway, the surprise songs are back, back, back again! There are 45 songs in the setlist already, which means she's got well over 200 songs (!!) to choose from for the surprise slots.

Initially, Taylor told fans that she will only play each surprise song once, unless she messes it up. But she has now confirmed that she has ended that rule, and she will play whatever she wants, however many times she wants!

So, what surprise songs has Taylor Swift already performed on The Eras Tour and what can fans expect for the rest of the dates? Here's the full list. (We'll update this article live, during each show.)

What surprise songs has Taylor Swift not played yet?

With Taylor performing two surprise songs a night, it's pretty much a given that she will perform the majority of them before she finishes the entire tour. Taylor has now confirmed that she has reset the list for the 2024 dates, which means international fans heading to the Eras Tour will likely hear some repeats, as well as those she has not yet performed.

There's still plenty of tracks that Taylor has the option to perform. Here's all the songs that she has not yet performed as surprise songs:

• Taylor Swift : 'Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)', 'A Perfectly Good Heart'
• Fearless (Taylor's Version): 'Change', 'Superstar', 'We Were Happy', 'That’s When', 'Don’t You', 'Bye Bye Baby'
• Speak Now (Taylor's Version): [All songs from Speak Now (Taylor's Version) have been performed.]
• Red (Taylor's Version) : 'Girl At Home', 'Ronan', 'Forever Winter', 'Run'
• 1989 (Taylor's Version) : 'Sweeter Than Fiction'
• Reputation : 'I Did Something Bad'
• Lover : 'London Boy', 'Soon You’ll Get Better', 'It’s Nice To Have A Friend'
• Folklore : 'Hoax'
• Evermore : 'Happiness', 'Closure'
• Midnights : [All songs from Midnights have now been performed.]
• The Tortured Poets Department : 'So Long, London', 'Florida!!!', 'Clara Bow', 'The Black Dog', 'imgonnagetyouback', 'The Albatross', 'I Hate It Here', 'thanK you aIMee', 'Cassandra', 'The Bolter', 'Robin', 'The Manuscript'

Alongside those listed album tracks, there's also several standalone and soundtrack songs that Taylor could add into the mix: 'Crazier', 'Only The Young', 'Carolina', 'I Heart?', 'Beautiful Eyes', 'Beautiful Ghosts'... And of course, 'Macavity' and 'Christmas Tree Farm'...

There's also the small possibility that she could potentially perform the songs she's featured on, maybe even with special guests: 'The Joker and the Queen', 'Two Is Better Than One', 'Renegade', 'Both of Us', 'Gasoline', 'Birch', 'Highway Don’t Care' and 'The Alcott'.

What surprise songs will Taylor Swift perform again?

At the start of the The Eras Tour, Taylor revealed that she had two rules when it comes to playing surprise songs more than once. Rule 1: If she messed up, she's allowed to play it again. Rule 2: Midnights songs are exempt and she can play them "however many times I want..."

However, in February 2024, she confirmed that that rule is no longer in place. She will play whatever songs she wants, however many times she wants.

So, if you're going to a London show in August, or one of the final shows in Vancouver and you're hoping to hear 'You're On Your Own, Kid'? It's now a strong possibility.

Here's a list of all the songs Taylor has performed multiple times on the Eras Tour so far:

• 'You're On Your Own, Kid' (Played 6 times)
• 'Maroon' (Played 5 times)
• 'Clean' (Played 4 times)
• 'Death By A Thousand Cuts' (Played 3 times)
• 'The Other Side of the Door' (Played 3 times)
• 'Come Back...Be Here' (Played 3 times)
• 'How You Get The Girl' (Played 3 times)
• 'Is It Over Now?' (Played 3 times)
• ‘Out of the Woods’ (Played 3 times)

Here's all the surprise songs that Taylor has played twice so far:

'Tim McGraw', 'Teardrops On My Guitar', 'Tell Me Why', 'Our Song', 'Should've Said No', 'Fifteen', 'Hey Stephen', 'Forever & Always', 'White Horse', 'Mine', 'Sparks Fly', 'The Story of Us', 'Haunted', 'You're Not Sorry', 'Red', 'Treacherous', 'Begin Again', 'Starlight', 'Holy Ground', 'Message In A Bottle', 'Welcome To New York', 'Out of the Woods', 'This Love’, 'I Wish You Would', 'New Romantics', '"Slut!"', 'Say Don't Go', 'Now That We Don't Talk', 'Getaway Car', 'Gorgeous', 'Dress', 'Call It What You Want', 'New Year's Day', 'I Think He Knows', 'False God', 'Daylight', 'exile', 'this is me trying', 'mirrorball', 'Gold Rush', 'Cowboy Like Me', 'Coney Island', 'Ivy', 'Evermore', 'Snow On The Beach', 'Paris', 'High Infidelity', 'Would've, Could've Should've', 'I Don't Wanna Live Forever'.

Taylor performed 'Nothing New' with Phoebe Bridgers on the nights Phoebe appears as a support act, but the song was not one of the two surprise songs. Taylor could now perform the song again later down the line as a surprise song.

Taylor also performed 'No Body, No Crime' with HAIM on the nights they supported the show. It's possible that Taylor will now perform that one again, solo, later down the line.

Here Are All the Surprise Songs Taylor Swift Has Played on the ‘Eras’ Tour

The Grammy-winning artist plays an acoustic set at each show with two unique songs

By this point, the “Eras” tour surprise songs Taylor Swift hasn’t played yet on the Eras tour have dwindled considerably, given that Los Angeles was Taylor Swift’s last stop on the first United States leg of the stadium tour. Among a 4-hour set comprised of all 10 albums Swift has released, the songstress takes some time to play two “surprise songs” on the guitar or piano. The titles remain a mystery until the moment in the show when she takes time to strip down the production for her audience.

Swift has also flubbed lyrics to some songs, claiming that any song she messes up can be played again later on in the tour. With the international leg of the “Eras” tour fast approaching, Swift will run out of songs eventually. Many options still stand by for the set of shows in LA this weekend and next week.

Here’s the list of which surprise songs Swift performed and when, stretching back to the very first “Eras” show in Arizona:

* Underlined songs mark titles Taylor messed up lyrics to

* Bolded titles mark repeat songs, Bold and Italicized titles mark three-peats

* Bold Italicized and Underlined titles mark four-peats

* Italicized Albums mark Swift’s announcements of when she would release her re-recorded albums, which has happened twice now so far on tour.

Every surprise song Taylor Swift has performed on the ‘Eras Tour’ so far

During every “Eras Tour” concert, there comes a time that audiences are always waiting for: surprise-song o’clock.

This is when Taylor Swift sits down with just a guitar and a piano to play acoustic versions of two songs — sometimes mashups, sometimes not — that change between each show. And fans don’t know what songs she’s chosen that night until the surprise-song set starts.

Swift resumed her "Eras Tour" May 9 in Paris , fresh on the heels of releasing her 11th album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on April 29. While the setlist saw some significant changes — including the addition of a new era — Swift upheld her tradition of performing surprise songs.

Last year, Swift said she’d aim not to repeat surprise songs during the “Eras Tour,” leaving fans to track each night’s performances like detectives, watching their favorite songs get picked off in the lead up to their own concert date.But after Swift announced that she “reset” the eligibility of all songs for 2024 and introduced twists, it’s impossible to predict what she’ll do next.

Intrepid Swifties keeping record of all the songs Swift has performed have noted that, while there are several songs that have been played multiple times, there are some songs that the singer has not at all. Those include:

"Mary's Song"

"A Perfectly Good Heart"

"Superstar"

"We Were Happy"

"That's When"

"Don't You"

"Bye Bye Baby"

"Girl At Home"

"Forever Winter"

"Sweeter Than Fiction"

"I Did Something Bad"

"London Boy"

"Soon You'll Get Better"

"It's Nice To Have a Friend"

"Only the Young"

"Beautiful Ghosts"

"Happiness"

"So Long, London"

"Florida!!!"

"Clara Bow"

"The Black Dog"

"imgonnagetyouback"

"The Albatross"

"Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus"

"I Hate It Here"

"ThanK You aIMee"

"Cassandra"

"The Bolter"

"The Manuscript"

Here's a list of all the surprise songs Swift has performed since the start of the "Eras Tour" in March 2023.

Taylor Swift went from Madrid to the Kit Kat Club in London ‘s West End to see her friend Cara Delevingne as Sally Bowles in Cabaret Friday night (May 31).

All the Surprise Songs Taylor Swift Has Performed on The Eras Tour (So Far)

Rumblings circulated on Friday that the “So Long, London” star — who played back-to-back stadium shows in Spain on May 29-30 — made it to Delevingne’s West End stage debut before the run ends. Post-show, Swift’s attendance was confirmed by a member of Cabaret ‘s production team.

Trending on Billboard

“can confirm. a special night @kitkatclubldn,” he wrote.

“Did she watch the show last night??” another person asked on X. Jones again indicated that Swift did see Cabaret , answering with a thumbs up

Delevingne, who has Only Murders in the Building and Suicide Squad among her acting credits, starred as Sally Bowles through June 1 in the musical’s revival staged at London’s Playhouse Theatre.

In late January, Delevingne was spotted by Swift’s side in a stadium suite watching Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs make their way to the Super Bowl. Around the time, she was also seen at dinner with Swift and Brittany Mahomes in New York City.

The two have known each other for more than a decade, dating back to Delevingne’s modeling days; Swift performed at the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show while Delevingne walked the runway.

Swift next takes her Eras Tour to Lyon, France, with shows slated for Sunday, June 2, and Monday, June 3, before heading to Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and then back to London, and then on to Dublin, all before month’s end. The extensive European leg of The Tortured Poets Department hitmaker’s tour runs through late August.
