We are currently halfway through Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour, with the artist recently announcing Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) during her hometown performance in Nashville, Tennessee. The singer has dealt with thunderstorms, technical difficulties, and dating rumors throughout her touring months and has reportedly messed with fans via changes in the setlist.
But out of all the glitz, glamour, and magic that the Eras Tour has provided, one thing that excited fans the most was the surprise songs. These were performances that were unique to their show and would not be played elsewhere. And due to Swift’s extensive discography and 17-year career, there is surely a surprise song to appear in every touring location.
All of Taylor Swift’s surprise songs on the Eras Tour so far
According to Swifties on social media, the surprise songs on the Eras Tour are tracks that were either not performed as often during previous tours or were never played at all due to the pandemic canceling live events. Meanwhile, the constants of each set are songs that tend to be fan favorites or constants in previous live performances, such as ‘Love Story’, ‘Look What You Made Me Do,’ and ‘All Too Well (10-minute version).’
Based on the current trend during the tour, two unique songs in Swift’s discography are played each night and were to never be repeated in later shows (unless she makes a mistake when performing one, or unless the song comes from her latest album, Midnights). So for those who were unable to keep track of all of Swift’s surprise performances, here is a list of songs that were played once during the Eras tour.
