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.
