On the evening of May 9 (French time), Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour officially returned after 2 months of rest since the previous 6 shows in Singapore. Taylor Swift will have 4 consecutive concerts at Paris La Défense Arena, an arena located in the western suburbs of Paris, with a capacity of about 40,000 people for a concert. This is also the venue with the smallest capacity ever for The Eras Tour, because stadiums with larger capacities in Paris (Stade de France – the largest stadium in France) are in the process of peak preparation for the World Cup. The 2024 Paris Olympic Games take place this summer, making it impossible to rent the stadium.

This is also Taylor Swift’s first return to tour since the release of the album The Tortured Poets Department. So, true to all previous rumors, Taylor Swift has added a separate “era” for The Tortured Poets Department to the official performance set list. This “era” was placed after 1989, before performing surprise songs leading up to the final Midnights .

Taylor Swift has a completely new arrangement for The Tortured Poets Department era.

Taylor Swift has created a completely new arrangement for this latest “era”, bringing to the stage 7 songs out of a total of 31 songs from the album, in order: But Daddy I Love Him, So High School, Who ‘s Afraid of Little Old Me?, Down Bad, Fortnight, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, I Can Do It with a Broken Heart. Taylor Swift impressively staged this “era” with mainly white outfits, a “mental patient” bed with the symbol TTPD,… It can be seen that the tour took place in time. will maintain the heat of The Tortured Poets Department album throughout the coming months.

Taylor Swift was full of sublimation during her comeback concert.

Taylor Swift was “chased” by a flying saucer during her performance of Down Bad / Fortnight.

Regarding the changes in the remaining songs, Taylor Swift has removed a significant number of songs from the traditional set list performed from 2023. The songs The Archer, Long Live, the 1, the last american dynasty, ’tis the da/mn season and tolerate it were removed from the set list. The two “eras” of folklore and evermore have been combined into one, which is not too surprising given the similarities in the images and musical materials of these two albums. The costumes for the other “eras” have also been changed, except for Reputation.

Taylor Swift and her crew changed into almost all new outfits for the new leg of The Eras Tour.

Notably, among the songs that Taylor Swift dropped from the new set list of The Eras Tour, Long Live is the case that is making fans sigh in unison. Long Live is considered a “hymn” that Taylor Swift composed specifically for her fans, demonstrating the connection between the female singer and the feelings of fans around the world. The previous Long Live performance in The Eras Tour , even though it was simply a singing and guitar part, created an extremely emotional moment for the fans in attendance.

Besides, if Long Live is cut, the performance for the Speak Now era will only have one song left – Enchanted. This makes fans disappointed when Speak Now is a very good era but is “estranged”. However, it must be said again, with the release of a new album, Taylor Swift can hardly please everyone. If you only add without balance or cut songs, the concert could last up to 4 hours – becoming too long for both the audience and Taylor Swift’s health. Thus, with a large number of Vietnamese audiences lucky enough to attend one of the six shows of The Eras Tour in Singapore last March, that was also the last time the female singer’s fans heard the song live.
