All the Surprise Songs that Have Been Performed at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

With the Eras tour bound for Singapore starting tomorrow, March 2, fans from across Asia are understandably eager and excited. If you’re wondering just which surprise songs Taylor Swift has sung in her Eras tour thus far, we’ve got you covered with our comprehensive running list. Get ready to sing, scream, or cry to your favourite songs, on what will surely be an Enchanted evening.

Those who are heading to Singapore in the coming days to catch Taylor Swift live in action for the Eras tour are in for a treat. The island city has spared no expense, curating an exhilarating calendar of events anchored on the upcoming tour to give visitors an experience to remember.

This is certainly an inspired move; Swift, who has performed in sold-out stadiums across the United States, Latin America, Tokyo, and Australia, will be making her only stop in Southeast Asia in Singapore, where she will perform for a total of six nights. To this end, the island city is expected to play host to hundreds of thousands of Southeast Asian Swifties, who are expected to begin pouring in over the weekend.

But, beyond the high-octave carousel of Eras tour events, which includes a fan sing-along at Jewel Changi Airport and friendship bracelet-making sessions, Swifties are arriving in anticipation of seeing their idol live in action. Known for putting on electric performances filled with genuine moments of human connection, extraordinary displays of vocal prowess, and the iconic inclusion of surprise songs, Taylor Swift has turned her Eras tour into a hugely successful pop culture phenomenon.

Swifties are absolutely here for it.

What are the surprise songs on Taylor Swift’s Eras tour?

Having produced 10 studio albums (with an 11th on the way in the form of The Tortured Poets Department), Taylor Swift has an incredible discography of 243 songs. Each Eras tour concert spans about three and a half hours in length, with a setlist of 44 songs spread out over 10 distinct acts — or eras, if you will. Given the time, it is easy to conclude that some fan favourites may not make it onto the set list; and so, Taylor Swift’s iconic Eras tour surprise songs came to be.

Taylor Swift’s surprise songs are two special acoustic songs that are performed in addition to the Eras tour setlist — one on the piano, and one on the guitar. Initially, Swift had committed to only performing a song once; however, since announcing the international dates for her Eras tour, the singer has rescinded her own rule, declaring a special song free-for-all for her 2024 venues.

Swift’s announcement has naturally thrown her hardcore fans into a frenzy, with international tour attendees attempting to guess the songs that the star might perform at their shows. Further changing up the tune, Swift cheekily unveiled a surprise song mash up at her Argentina show, treating fans to a mash up of Is It Over Now and Out Of The Woods. While mash ups were rare occurrences leading up to Australia, the songstress appears to have lifted the embargo on them, performing some of her greatest hits to much happy screaming and crying across her shows in Melbourne and Sydney.

It’s anybody’s guess what surprise songs Swift is set to perform for her Eras tour stop in Singapore. Those attempting to hazard a guess, however, might find some useful clues and easter eggs in what she has performed so far.

One for the money, two for the show

Despite having a huge list of songs to choose from, Swift has opted to perform some surprise songs more than once during her Eras tour.

Most notably, the singer has sung Midnights’ Maroon a grand total of four times, thrice as a full song, and last as a mash up with Forever & Always at her Sydney show on 26 February. Another song that has enjoyed Swift’s attention is You’re On Your Own, Kid, which has been played three times as a full song.

Other songs that have been performed twice as full songs include Clean, Death By A Thousand Cuts, Holy Ground, How You Get The Girl, Our Song, Red, Snow On The Beach, Teardrops On My Guitar, and This Is Me Trying.

Additionally, Swift has opted to perform some songs a second time as part of a mash up. This includes Come Back…Be Here, which was performed a second time with Daylight, Getaway Car (performed a second time with August and The Other Side Of The Door), New Year’s Day (performed a second time with Peace), Should’ve Said No (performed a second time with You’re Not Sorry), White Horse and Coney Island (performed separately on different occasions, and then together as a mash up), Out Of The Woods (performed a second time with Is It Over Now), and Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve (performed a second time with Ivy).

Heartbreak and the yellow dress

Now that we’re deep in the throes of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, international fans have begun to hypothesise about the connection between Swift’s wardrobe choices and the surprise songs of the night. According to fans, the combination of Swift’s orange dress for 1989 and yellow dress for her surprise songs is lethal — at least emotionally.

The consensus among Swifties is that the combination is a sign of upcoming heartbreak, as Swift has been said to play her most heartrending and heartbreaking songs when thusly dressed. One fan shared that Swift sang Right Where You Left Me and Castles Crumbling in the combo; another was treated to Hits Different and The Moment I Knew. While this is certainly an interesting theory, Swifties from different camps have since emerged to share their input, ultimately highlighting the unique way in which individuals connect with Swift’s music and lyrics.
