On Thursday night, Taylor Swift dropped four new singles onto iTunes. They’re all in the top 10 today Sunday, and one of them has been number 1 all week– “All of The Girls You Loved Before.”
Nevertheless, on the first two nights of Swift’s Eras tour, Friday and Saturday, none of the songs was on the set list. She didn’t play them. Also, the set list is grouped by albums, building to really…nothing. Most concerts make a turn in the last half hour to big hits, ending with the biggest one. But for Eras, the show just ends with a bunch of songs from “Midnights,” her current album. Indeed, the biggest chart hit from that album, “Anti-Hero,” isn’t the finale. It’s sixth from the end.
It’s a curious way to go, but maybe the show will take a different shape as Swift tries it out.
The next two shows are on March 24th and 25th in Las Vegas. The Eras tour has huge breaks between cities. At this rate, it could take years to go around the world!
Here are the set lists for the first two nights:
“Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince”
