Taylor Swift Eras tour adds Tortured Poets Department and combines Folklore and Evermore eras – as it happened in Paris

Taylor appears to be moving to the Red era, instead of Evermore.

The setlist appears to have changed again.

Taylor is now on the fan favourite Love Story.

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story, baby, just say, “Yes”

Taylor is going back to high school, with the classic You Belong With Me.

And there’s a new outfit!

We’ve arrived in the Fearless era!

I’ll admit Fearless is, still, my favourite album, and for those of us in our 30s, inextricably linked with the high school experience.

The album, which was first released in 2008, includes Taylor Swift teen romance classics such as Love Story and You Belong With Me, but also the deeply personal The Best Day, which is dedicated to Swift’s mother:

I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to now at school
But I know I’m laughing
On the car ride home with you

A re-recording, Fearless (Taylor’s Version), was released in 2021. It includes a really nice piano version of Forever & Always. Personally I’m a fan of Come In With The Rain, which was included in the new album.

Earlier in the Eras tour, Taylor sang Fearless, You Belong With Me and Love Story.

Fans are excited about the inclusion of The Tortured Poets Department tonight.

Swift is skipping The Archer, which earlier had been included in this part of the set. This would be the first major change to the tour … and will add to the anticipation that she will incorporate a new era for her recent album, the Tortured Poets Department. Stay tuned!

Taylor, on stage at Paris La Défense Arena, called the city romantic.

She’s singing Lover:

We could leave the Christmas lights up ‘til January
And this is our place, we make the rules
And there’s a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
