At every show on the tour, Taylor Swift played one to two surprise songs that weren’t on the setlist.
Taylor Swift has just passed through Brazil with The Eras Tour, having presented three shows in Rio de Janeiro and three in São Paulo. The tour’s repertoire features a standard setlist, containing songs from all eras and up to two surprise songs in each performance since the tour began in March.
“The plan, the goal, would be to play different songs every night and never repeat any of them. Right? So when you hear one on this tour, you’ll know it’s the only time I’ll play it in the acoustic set, unless – caveat – unless I screw it up really badly. […] that I have to do it all over again in some other city. Send your best wishes that I don’t do that.” He said Taylor at the first show of the tour, in Glendale, Arizona.
Check out all the surprise songs performed by the singer in Brazil:
