Much like Jigsaw in the “Saw” franchise, Taylor Swift delights in playing games with her fans. A new puzzle started on Thursday in Paris, where Swift launched the European leg of her blockbuster Eras Tour. It was the first concert of hers to take place after the release of her secret double album “The Tortured Poets Department,” and as many fans suspected, Swift has significantly changed the Eras Tour setlist from the one that took the U.S. by storm last year.
For one, the order of the entire show is different. Swift moved around the eras to change the flow of the show, and she did indeed add a section in which she performs seven songs from “The Tortured Poets Department.”
There are also new outfits, new transitions, new graphics and Swift even combined two eras — “folklore” and “evermore” — into one. But for those who keep track of the setlist on their own, here’s what’s different from a song standpoint.
All the Songs Cut From the Eras Tour
“The Archer” from “Lover”
“Long Live” from “Speak Now”
“The 1” from “folklore”
