As many Swifties prepare for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Australia this weekend, one thing that needs to be taken into account is the secret songs.
As per tradition, Taylor Swift’s shows include an acoustic section where she will select a minimum of two songs from her discography that are not in the setlist. These songs change every show, and Taylor very rarely plays a secret song twice. This means you might want to know which songs have already been played heading into the Eras Tour.
All of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour secret songs so far
Taylor Swift has already performed 66 shows on the North American leg of the Eras Tour, which cleared quite a few secret songs off the board. However, at her final show last year, Swift announced that in the new year, all surprise songs would be fair game.
That means the board is wide open for a number of banger surprise songs in Australia. If you’re wondering if your favourite is still up for grabs, here are all the secret songs Taylor Swift has played so far in 2024:
- Tokyo, Feb 7: ‘Dear Reader’ and ‘Holy Ground’
- Tokyo, Feb 8: ‘Eyes Open’ and ‘Electric Touch’
- Tokyo, Feb 9: ‘Superman’ and ‘The Outside’
- Tokyo, Feb 10: ‘Come In With The Rain’ and ‘You’re on Your Own Kid’
But there’s a twist! Since Taylor’s last show in Melbourne, the artist said she no longer wants to limit herself creatively by taking secret songs off the board after they’ve been played on the tour, which means now anything can happen.
We’ve also seen a trend in the Australian shows thus far of Taylor playing acoustic mashups of her songs, meaning instead of just two songs, we’re often seeing her play three or more.
Here are the secret songs we’ve seen Taylor Swift play on the Australian leg of the Eras Tour:
- Melbourne, Feb 16: ‘Red’ and ‘You’re Losing Me’
- Melbourne, Feb 17: ‘Getaway Car’ x ‘August’ x ‘The Other Side of the Door’ (mashup) and ‘This is Me Trying’
- Melbourne, Feb 18: ‘Come Back…Be Here’ x ‘Daylight’ (mashup) and ‘Teardrops on My Guitar’
- Sydney, Feb 23: ‘How You Get the Girl’ and ‘White Horse’ x ‘Coney Island’ feat. Sabrina Carpenter (mashup)
- Sydney, Feb 24: ‘Should’ve Said No’ x ‘You’re Not Sorry’ (mashup) and ‘New Year’s Day’ x ‘Peace’ (mashup)
- Sydney, Feb 25: ‘Haunted’ x ‘Exile (mashup) and ‘Is it Over Now’ and ‘I Wish You Would’ (mashup)
We’ll have to wait and see what the mastermind has in store for her final Sydney show tonight.
This recent change to the acoustic set has certainly made the surprise song game more interesting. All songs are up for grabs! But, wait, now you never know how many surprise songs you’re getting and whether they will be played solo or mashed up with something else. Oh, Taylor, you love to play with our emotions.
