As Taylor Swift’s huge tour is ongoing, many fans are pumped to see Taylor perform, as this is her first tour since the “Reputation” tour, which happened in 2018. Let’s take a closer look at what is happening from within the tour.

Taylor’s setlist includes six songs from “Lover,” three songs from “Fearless,” five songs from “Evermore,” four songs from “Reputation, one song from “Speak Now, four songs from “Red,” seven songs from “Folklore,” five songs from “1989” and seven songs from “Midnights.”

On tour, Taylor also performs some songs that are not on her standard setlist and are considered secret songs. These songs are played acoustic and are numbers 36 and 37 on the setlist. On the first night of the tour, she performed “Mirrorball” and “Tim McGraw” as secret songs. 

It is still a mystery as to what secret songs she will play on her upcoming tour dates but, some fans have predicted what songs she will play at each venue. Taylor will most likely not repeat secret songs so, there should be around 139 surprise songs left, excluding her Christmas album. 

Before Swift arrives on stage, she has two openers perform. Throughout the tour, she has scheduled nine different openers to start off The Eras Tour. These nine openers include Paramore, beabadoobee, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in red, MUNA, HAIM, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams and OWENN. Phoebe Bridgers, one out of the nine openers, brought out Matty Healy, the lead singer of the 1975, to fuel dating rumors between him and Taylor in Nashville. 

Excluding the tour’s setlist, many fans have shown up to the venues dressed in fancy attire dedicated to the albums Taylor has made. A hairdresser from Columbus traveled to Glendale for Taylor’s first show on tour and was dressed in a black jumper with a long cape devoted to all her albums.
