During every “Eras Tour” concert, there comes a time that audiences are always waiting for: surprise-song o’clock. This is when Taylor Swift sits down with just a guitar and a piano to play acoustic versions of two songs — sometimes mashups, sometimes not — that change between each show. And fans don’t know what songs she’s chosen that night until the surprise-song set starts.
Swift resumed her "Eras Tour" May 9 in Paris , fresh on the heels of releasing her 11th album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on April 29.

Those include: Here's a list of all the surprise songs Swift has performed since the start of the "Eras Tour" in March 2023.
