Taylor Swift's remaining surprise songs: What you still might hear on the Eras Tour

Entertainment KiMi Robinson 04/08/2023

For Taylor Swift fans around the world, the best time of day is “surprise song o’clock.”

That’s when, 30-some songs and approximately two-and-a-half hours into her Eras Tour show, Swift shakes off her dancers and band members for two acoustic songs. To the delight of her sold-out stadium crowds and countless social media livestream viewers, she plucks songs from her discography to play on the guitar, then on an upright piano.

If her six Los Angeles shows follow her normal set list, there are 12 more surprise songs in store on the U.S. leg of the Eras Tour before she heads to Mexico City in late August.

Will the SoFi Stadium crowd get to hear the new “Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version)” lyrics, “he was a moth to the flame / she was holding the matches” live? Will Ed Sheeran, who’s coincidentally also touring the U.S., be a special guest to duet the “Red (Taylor’s Version)” vault song “Run?”

Will there be more than one surprise in store, perhaps the highly anticipated “1989 (Taylor’s Version)" announcement?

Only time will tell. But if you want to see whether your favorite Taylor Swift song still has a chance of being performed during the surprise set, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s the list of songs that haven’t been performed during The Eras Tour so far.

Note: The songs marked with an asterisk are tracks that Swift has sung but made a mistake during their performance, meaning they are eligible — by her own rules — for a redo.
