Can you believe? After almost five years, a brand new Taylor Swift world tour is finally upon us! The Eras Tour officially opened its doors in Glendale, Arizona on March 17th where Taylor performed songs from all 10 of her albums.

Since 2018, when Taylor embarked on her last world tour, she's released four brand new albums and two re-recorded albums. Due to the pandemic, Lover, folklore, evermore and Midnights have yet to be toured, which means Taylor has over 200 songs to choose from for The Eras Tour setlist. Narrowing all of that down into a 3-hour show? Sounds impossible, right?

But what songs made the cut? And what songs got cut? Here's everything we know so far about Taylor's Eras Tour setlist, including every song featured in the show, how many songs she plays and more.

How many songs will Taylor Swift perform on The Eras Tour?

The average Taylor Swift concert is around 2 hours long but The Eras Tour is a whole different beast... The opening show in Glendale was a whopping 3 hours and 15 minutes long, and Taylor performed a huge 44 tracks within that timeframe.

Not all the tracks are performed in full, though – some are shortened versions. There's also a couple of additional little interludes that pop up throughout the show.

For context, on the Rep tour, Taylor performed 19 tracks in total, including several mashups that featured some of her older songs. For The 1989 World Tour, she performed 18 songs, while 17 songs were performed on The Red Tour and the Speak Now World Tour.

What songs does Taylor Swift perform on the Eras Tour?

Well, March 17th has been and gone which means we've finally got our first look at what Taylor has pulled together for fans. As expected, the set list features a mix of her highest charting songs, lead singles, fan favourites, outright bangers and tracks that stand out as milestones in her incredible career so far.

On March 31st, during her first show in Arlington, TX, Taylor confirmed that the setlist will have some changes as the tour goes on. The first change was replacing 'invisible string' with 'the 1' at the start of the folklore era section on March 31st.

*'invisible string' was replaced by 'the 1' from March 31st onwards. It returned on May 6th in Nashville night 2, but 'the 1' came back to the setlist on May 7th.

For all the shows where Phoebe Bridgers is a support act, Taylor performed 'Nothing New' with her during the Red (TV) section.

Ice Spice joined Taylor on stage to perform 'Karma' on May 26th and May 27th in East Rutherford, NJ, in honour of the release of their new version of the song.

It’s also possible that the setlist may be slightly different for each leg she performs on. So while the majority of the setlist will be the same, the UK, Europe and the rest of the international shows might end up with a few slightly different numbers. We'll have to wait and see...

Taylor has revealed that she aims to only play each surprise song once during the tour, but has also stated that if she messes one up, she'll sing it again. During Arlington night 2's show, Taylor confirmed she'll be performing 'Death By a Thousand Cuts' again because she messed up the lyrics. Later, on TikTok, she also teased that 'Clean' will make another appearance.

There's also no rules for Taylor repeating songs from Midnights as surprise songs, which means fans may get hear the likes of 'You're On Your Own Kid' and 'Snow on the Beach' again at some point in the future.

It's unclear if Taylor will repeat some of the surprise songs when she embarks on her international tour dates... we'll have to wait and see!

We'll update this article with every Surprise Acoustic Song – and every surprise song that she will play again – after every show.

What are Taylor's most performed songs on tour?

Taylor’s top 3 most performed songs are ‘Love Story’ (491 times), ‘Our Song’ (404 times) and ‘You Belong With Me’ (381).

Of course, almost all of Taylor’s most performed songs are from her first two albums. As the list goes on, the Speak Now bops, Red bangers and 1989 hits start to weave their way in.

If you’re wondering what Taylor’s most played songs from her first five albums are, here’s a break down:

Taylor Swift: ‘Our Song’, ‘Tim McGraw’ and ‘Picture To Burn’
Fearless: ‘Love Story’, ‘You Belong With Me’ and ‘Fifteen’
Speak Now: ‘Sparks Fly’, ‘Mean’ and ‘Mine’
Red: ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’, ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ and ‘Red’
1989: ‘Shake It Off’, ‘Blank Space’ and ‘Out of the Woods’

Taylor has only had the chance to perform songs from Reputation on the Reputation Stadium Tour so far, but ‘Ready For It?’, ‘Delicate’ and ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ take the top spots when it comes to live performances of the Rep tracks.

Due to the cancellation of Lover Fest, Taylor hasn’t been able to perform Lover on a tour setting. Folklore, Evermore and Midnights will also be making their tour debut on the Eras Tour.
