Breaking Down All of Taylor Swift's Surprise Songs From Her 'Eras Tour' (So Far)!

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has been the talk of the season. Singing multiple songs from all across her discography, Swift has made a habit of choosing two "surprise" songs that change at each show. She has 10 albums to pick from, from her self-titled album Taylor Swift all the way to Midnights, so the options are practically endless. Swift still has 39 shows left on her tour schedule, giving a potential 78 surprise songs in total. Let’s take a look at what she has performed already!

1. Glendale, AZ, Night 1

The tour kicked off in what they called “Swift City”. She begins her tour with surprise song "mirrorball" from folklore, which debuted at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 6 on the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart. Then, she continued to sing her 2006 debut single "Tim McGraw" from her debut album Taylor Swift. 

2. Glendale, AZ, Night 2

For the last night in Swift City, Swift performed another folklore song, "this is me trying", written alongside Jack Antonoff at a studio in Beverly Hills, following with the Red song "State of Grace", which hit 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 18 for "Taylor’s Version". A great combo!

3. Las Vegas, NV, Night 1

Now, we would say this night was a pretty lucky night. Swift performed one of her catchiest hits, "Our Song", from her debut album, an BMI Country Award-winning song and included among Rolling Stone’s best female country songs. "Snow on the Beach" was next and featured Lana Del Rey. This was the first song performed off of Midnights!

4. Las Vegas, NV, Night 2

For night 2, "cowboy like me" featuring Marcus Mumford became the first song performed from evermore. And yes, he was on stage with Swift! Next, "White Horse", the second single from hrt second album Fearless, was the second surprise song. Fun fact: Taylor originally didn’t want this song on the album. Now we all love it!

5. Arlington, TX, Night 1

Traveling to the Lone Star State, Swift performed "Sad Beautiful Tragic" from Lover, which included beautiful ukulele chords. Then, "Ours" was recorded for Swift’s deluxe edition of Speak Now. What a surprise!

6. Arlington, TX, Night 2

The next day, she performed "Death By a Thousand Cuts" from Lover, the 10th track off the album and written with Antonoff as well. Next came “Clean” from 1989. The crowd loved both!

7. Arlington, TX, Night 3

The final night in Texas, she sang "Jump Then Fall" from the Fearless Platinum Edition, which debuted at 10 on the Billboard Hot 100! Next, Swift performed "The Lucky One" from Red Deluxe Edition -- Two special songs from special albums!

8. Tampa, FL, Night 1

Taylor started off strong in Tampa, performing "Speak Now" as the first title track. Fans screamed for the anticipated songs since recent rumors have surfaced of a Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Plus, she performed "Treacherous" off Red, which was another surprise song from the Reputation Tour in 2018.

9. Tampa, FL, Night 2

Night 2 got a special performance of "The Great War" featuring a special appearance from Aaron Dessner as they teamed up to play their guitars for the first surprise song. Then, Midnights fans were cheering loudly for "You’re On Your Own, Kid"; it was the first time she ever performed this song live.

10. Tampa, FL, Night 3

Aaron Dessner came back for the final show in Tampa to help perform "mad woman" from folklore, a song for which he is the songwriter as well as the producer. Plus, another Speak Now song was performed, "mean". So fun to hear the crowd sing this song!

11. Houston, TX, Night 1

Back to Texas for another 3 nights. Swift begins the round of surprise songs with "Wonderland", which compares her relationship with Alice’s trip through Wonderland. The second song was "You’re Not Sorry" from Fearless, released as a single in 2008.

12. Houston, TX, Night 2

​​The 2 surprise songs for Night 2 take you to another world -- "A Place In This World" was one of Swift’s first songs that she wrote when she was 13, trying to decide if she wanted to go into the music industry. Then, from the Valentine’s Day movie, Swift performed "Today Was a Fairytale", which was also a single from Fearless and was re-recorded for Taylor’s Version.

13. Houston, TX, Night 3

Her most recent show was Night 3 in Houston where she first sang a single off Red, "Begin Again", which won 2 BMI Awards for Publisher of the Year and Country Awards Top 50 Songs. Next, "Cold as You" from her debut album was performed. The crowd always loves to hear an OG track! 

Next stop is Atlanta, Georgia. What surprise songs do you want to hear on the rest of the tour?
