August 9 in Los Angeles, California: “New Romantics” and “New Year’s Day” leg of the Eras Tour (in epic fashion, we must add), we’ve decided to rank all 53 (!!) of them here: 1. Each surprise song set has been a special moment in its own right, but, of course, some songs were more highly anticipated than others, and now that she’s wrapped up the first U.S. Plus, it’s a showcase for one of Swift’s superpowers: the ability to make each person in a crowd of tens of thousands feel like she’s talking or singing right to them. (She’s largely followed her own rules, repeating only one song, “Clean,” before heading into the final stretch of shows in Los Angeles, where she has since repeated two tracks from Midnights and fan favorites “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” which she messed up the first time, and “Our Song”-which might have been performed a second time because of whatever documentary was obviously being filmed in L.A.) This isn’t the first time Swift has included surprise songs in live shows-there was one per night on the Reputation Stadium Tour, and the 1989 World Tour included surprise duets with different guests-but this has been a savvy move for a tour meant to highlight her entire discography and a way for Swift to keep every show fresh, even when some concertgoers will have seen the whole thing online months before attending in person. Maybe you’ve followed along every night on TikTok livestreams dutifully uploaded by on-site Swifties, making sure fans far and wide can find out which two songs not part of the Eras main set list Swift has chosen for her mini acoustic set that night.ĭuring the early shows of the tour, Swift laid out her self-imposed rules: one song on guitar, one on piano, and she would allow herself to repeat only songs from her 2022 album, Midnights, or any other song where she’d messed up the words.

Maybe you’ve been lucky enough to be in the audience one of those nights and have crossed your fingers and toes in hopes that she’ll play a personal favorite deep cut or bring out a special guest.

Swift Local Time has marked the unofficial start of Surprise Song O’Clock.
