After nearly five years of anticipation, Taylor Swift embarked on her spectacular world tour so far, she has wasted no time in treating her audience to a mesmerizing journey through her musical evolution.
With four new albums and two re-recorded albums released since her last tour in 2018, Taylor has an incredible repertoire of over 200 songs to choose from. Crafting the perfect setlist for The Eras Tour is no easy task, considering the vast range of musical styles and eras she has explored throughout her career. However, Taylor rises to the challenge, curating a three-hour extravaganza that leaves no stone unturned.
At the opening show in Glendale last March, she delivered a staggering 44 tracks in a span of three hours and 15 minutes. While not all songs are performed in their entirety, Taylor expertly weaves together shortened versions and captivating interludes to create a seamless and unforgettable concert experience.
Comparing the setlist of The Eras Tour to her previous tours, it’s evident that Taylor has truly outdone herself this time. On The Reputation Tour, she performed a total of 19 tracks, including impressive mashups that incorporated her older hits. The 1989 World Tour featured 18 songs, while The Red Tour and The Speak Now World Tour showcased 17 songs each. The Eras Tour, with its extensive setlist, offers a comprehensive musical journey through Taylor’s evolution as an artist.
To keep the element of surprise alive, Taylor announced that the setlist might undergo changes as the tour progresses. This flexibility ensures that each leg of the tour brings a unique experience for fans worldwide.
As with her previous tours, Taylor delights her audience by incorporating surprise acoustic performances into The Eras Tour. For each show, she treats fans to two additional songs from her discography, adding a touch of spontaneity and excitement to the already electrifying atmosphere. From emotional renditions of Sad Beautiful Tragic to nostalgic throwbacks like Our Song, these surprises leave fans craving for more.
Furthermore, special collaborations elevate the concert experience even further. Taylor invited Phoebe Bridgers to perform Nothing New during the Red (TV) section, creating an unforgettable moment of musical synergy. On select nights, she welcomed Ice Spice to the stage, joining her in a powerful rendition of Karma to celebrate their newly released version of the song.
