Taylor Swift Eras Tour setlist: Which songs from The Tortured Poets Department could be added?

Taylor Swift will kick off the European leg of her Eras Tour tonight, with four nights in Paris

There’s always plenty of speculation around which tracks will make the cut, but now there’s even more to choose from. Since her last show in Singapore on March 9, Swift has released a mega double album, The Tortured Poets Department, featuring a whopping 31 songs. 

Since the tour sees Swift sing a selection of songs from each of her previous albums (well, all except her self-titled debut), Swifties are expecting songs from TTPD to feature in tonight’s show for the first time.

But which songs could end up getting their first ever live airings?

Which songs from TTPD could be added?

While we’ll have to wait for the Paris show to find out for sure which songs from TTPD will be added to the setlist, we can speculate based on streaming numbers.

According to Spotify, Swift’s most streamed TTPD songs are Fortnight, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, Down Bad, and So Long, London

Swift’s setlist often features some of the most popular songs from previous albums, so it would make sense for her to include some fan favourites this time around.

Which songs could be removed from the setlist?

It’s difficult to know which songs will be removed from the setlist without being in possession of psychic abilities, but it’s safe to assume at least a few older songs will be need to be axed to make way for the new (the Eras Tour show already lasts three hours and 15 minutes).

Some albums feature on the setlist more than others (Swift plays seven songs from Folklore and Midnights, but just two from Speak Now, for example). 

Purely based on how many songs Swift usually sings from each era, perhaps she will remove one or two songs from Lover, Evermore, Folklore or Midnights. 

If we had to guess, we think Illicit Affairs, My Tears Ricochet and Mastermind could be cut to make way for Fortnight, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, and Down Bad.

Which surprise songs could Taylor sing?

With the European tour kicking off in the French capital, Paris, from Midnights, could be a special, and fitting, surprise song for tonight. 

Other popular tracks that Swift has yet to choose to be surprise songs in 2024 include: Picture to Burn, Mr Perfectly Fine, Speak Now, Mean, Everything Has Changed, Begin Again, Out of the Woods, New Romantics, Gorgeous, Paper Rings, Invisible String, Dorothea, and Hits Different, among many others.
