Taylor Swift opened her “Eras” tour last night (March 17) in Glendale, Arizona, playing 44 songs in a career-spanning set that lasted just over three hours.
The singer performed several tracks from each of her ten albums, starting with “Lover” in 2019 and ending with “Fearless”, “Evermore”, “Reputation”, “Speak Now”, “Red”, “Folklore”, “1989”. ‘, ‘Taylor Swift’ and finally ‘Midnight’.
In “Midnights”, the longest section was dedicated to him, where Swift performed seven songs from the album. She performed only one song each from “Speak Now” and “Taylor Swift”.
Numerous tracks from the Swift catalog were played for the first time, including the opening numbers of “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince” and “Cruel Summer”. Elsewhere, many songs from “Evermore” debuted live, including “Tis The Damn Season” and “Marjorie”, as well as tracks from “Midnights” such as “Vigilante Shit”, “Lavender Haze” and the closer “Karma”.
In addition, the artist performed the title track from “Fearless” for the first time since 2012.
Swift also said that she would play an acoustic “surprise song” at each stop of the tour. On this particular show, that song was “Mirrorball” from “Folklore”.
