Taylor Swift Adds Repeat To Eras Tour Song Cycle

Taylor Swift is relaxing the “surprise song” rule of her Eras Tour music roster, the superstar announced during a Melbourne concert yesterday. Repeats will be allowed.

Swifties know that throughout the Eras Tour Taylor has endeavored to represent all eras of her career by including a couple different deep-track songs for each concert, to be played on the tour only once.

But yesterday she announced a shift in the practice. “I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward and I don’t want to limit anything or say, ‘Oh, if I played this song, I can’t play it again,’” Swift said from the stage in Melbourne, Australia. “So, from now on, I don’t want to take any paint colors out of the paintbox [or] tools out of the toolbox.”

“I want to be able to play songs more than once if I feel like it and I want to be able to make changes to songs,” she said, according to local media reports. “Does that sound OK?”

At the Sunday concert – the third in Melbourne – Swift added “Teardrops on My Guitar,” to the acoustic setlist, as well as a a medley of “Come Back/ Be Here” and “Daylight.”

“We’re very lucky to have a lot of people who watch this on the internet and care about the shows if they’re not here,” Swift gushed to the attendees.

Fans might expect another Era Tour song line-up change when Swift’s upcoming album The Tortured Poets Department arrives in April.
