Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has undergone major changes, as the record-breaking tour returns three weeks after the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.
New songs from the brand new album were included towards the end before Midnights, while several other songs were cut from the set and she made the decision to combine Folklore and Evermore into one set.
The new era kicked off with 'But Daddy I Love Him,' with Taylor wearing a white gown, similar to her 2024 Grammys dress. It featured two other costume changes, and seven tracks.
"So you were the first crowd ever to see... or as I like to call it, Female Rage: The Musical." she quipped afterwards.
The show opened with the usual clock count down, and her dancers walking out on stage with the butterfly wings; however the intro music included a snippet of 'I'm Gonna Get You Back' from The Tortured Poets Department.

Lover and Fearless kicked off the show, but Red replaced Evermore as the third era on the setlist.
The fourth era became Speak Now, and received a brand new introduction, featuring the Eras Tour dancers performing a short ballet dance that later was incorporated into the song.

"Folklore represents spring and summer, and Evermore represents fall and winter, and so on the Eras Tour we have reunited the sisters and combined them into one chapter," she told fans.

The surprise section came next with the song 'Paris' from Midnights (3am Version) and 'loml' from TTPD, before the show closed out with Midnights.

'The Archer', the sixth song in the set, was cut from the live set list, as was beloved fan favorite 'Long Live,' taking the Speak Now era back to one song only.
She also cut 'The 1' and 'The Last Great American Dynasty' from the Folklore era, and 'Tolerate It' and 'Tis The Damn Season' from Evermore, as well as the 'Seven' interlude.

The TTPD set was expected, as YouTube shorts shared by Taylor in the weeks since TTPD's release revealed new set pieces including a barre that features the album logo in the middle; it ended up being a bed frame for 'Fortnight'.
Her dancers had also been spotted with new props, while Taylor had been seen practicing in the same heels she wears in the 'Fortnight' video.

Inspired by the era's silent films, it was a theatrical over the top moment with the dancers putting Taylor's shoes on her feet for her, and pushing her forward despite her protestations, a metaphor that spoke to the heartache she was going through every night in 2023 while performing on tour.
For the surprise songs, she sang 'Paris' from Midnights, and 'loml' from TTPD.
The final era, Midnights, received no changes, keeping its original seven songs: 'Lavendar Haze,' 'Anti Hero,' 'Midnight Rain,' 'Vigilante Shit,' 'Bejeweled,' 'Mastermind,' and 'Karma'.

When Taylor appeared on stage, she revealed a brand new custom Versace Lover bodysuit and blazer in a sunset orange.
"The first design is a fully crystal embroidered bodysuit with bustier boning structure and degradé of paillettes, in tones of orange with iridescent elements," Versace shared, adding: "The second design is a double-breasted blazer embellished in iridescent fuchsia crystals, accented by gold Medusa buttons.
She also debuted a new silver and black dress for the Fearless era, paired with black boots, reminiscent of the original Fearless tour.

Halfway through the song, a handpicked young fan was handed the '22' hat, as per tradition. She then unveilved a new Red bodysuit, but wore the same dress coat to sing 'All Too Well (Ten Minute Version)'.

For the Folk-more set, Taylor wore a new yellow gown, the sixth version of the dress, and for 1989 she mixed colors for the first time, wearing a hot pink crop top and bright blue mini skater skirt, which called back to the original 1989 era as well.

The surprise song section also saw a new pink two-toned dress, while for Midnights, she wore a brand new navy blue bodysuit.
