Taylor Swift twists Eras Tour surprise songs rule
If you were lucky enough to score tickets for Taylor Swift 's tour this year, the singer has decided to switch up the surprise songs rule. During Swift's Eras Tour, that just started back up again this month, she surprised fans by singing songs from her vault or bonus tracks that switched up for every individual city and tour date. However, this time around, the Grammy-winner is putting a new twist on her surprise songs rule.
“When I started the tour, I said, ‘In the acoustic section, I am never repeating a song. I’m never doing songs more than once,’” the singer said back in April. “But now I’m like, ‘Ugh, there are so many songs I want to do more than once.’”
Not only will the singer be repeating songs, she said there is an extra special exception for her latest album, Midnights.
“If [a song] is on Midnights, I can do it however many times I want because Midnights is the most accurate picture of my life to date.” The singer released Midnights October 2022.
Swift just wrapped in Brazil and she recently mentioned her plans for the surprise songs.
“I decided that in 2024, when we go back on tour, I’m just gonna open back up all the songs for surprise songs,” she told the crowd.
She continued, “I feel like, for one year, we’ve really gotten through a lot of songs, so I’m just gonna make all the songs fair game when we go back on tour. There’s some songs that I still really, really wanna play, so I’m gonna try and get through all of them.”
According to Swift's official website , the singer will be heading to Tokyo next on February 7, 2024 followed by Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, Paris, and more. The tour is set to end on December 8, 2024.
