Taylor Swift Is Making Drastic Changes to Her Eras Tour
The first performance of the European leg of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour is underway in Paris, and for weeks, diehard Swifties have been desperate to find out whether she’d be altering her three-hour set to accommodate the release of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Judging from the frenzied posts from Parisian fans on the front lines, the answer is a resounding YES. The biggest news out of the evening is that Swift has indeed introduced a new portion of the Eras Tour set list for Tortured Poets that includes new costumes, a new stage set and choreography; the whole nine yards. But more on that later.
In chronological order: it appears that Swift has adjusted the dreamy intro to the tour, which consists of a mash-up of lyrics in which she sings the titles of her past albums. In the new intro, she’s added herself singing, “Straight from the tortured poets department,” officially solidifying it as a new era.
