“I don’t want to limit anything” was the phrase Taylor Swift used to cancel the non-written rule about the repetition of her Eras Tour surprise songs
Taylor Swift used her time in Australia to announce some changes for the remaining of her successful Eras Tour. These changes revolve around the part of the show in which the singer performs her Eras Tour surprise songs, different every time from one performance to another. Its something that generates great expectation among its fans but also generates disappointment because if a piece was performed in a previous show, it would no longer be played the next day.
The singer assured that she wants to be more creative on stage and please her fans from all over the world. Thus, Taylor has chosen to cancel this self-imposed rule and will give herself the freedom to repeat her surprise songs so that more fans around the globe can enjoy them. Songs like YOYOK, guilty of having fans all over the world crafting bracelets to exchange at the tour might play in more than one night. Swift also revealed that she will make an effort to make these performances something more special with unique arrangements that are different from the original versions.
Taylor stopped her concert and spoke to the crowd directly like she usually does
“I want to be able to play songs more than once if I feel like it and I want to be able to make changes to the songs. Is that okay with you?” asked the 14-time Grammy winner to the 96,000 attendees at the Melbourne Cricket Ground who celebrated the news with a thunderous ovation. With the crowd agreeing with these changes. Later, Swift began performing an acoustic mix of the songs Come Back… Be Here from her album Red and Daylight from Lover. She later sat at the piano to perform Teardrops on My Guitar as her second surprise song of the night.
It is worth mentioning that during Taylor‘s previous performance at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the singer chose to perform the songs Getaway Car, August and The Other Side of the Door as surprise songs.
Apparently, Taylor‘s concert in Australia has been very special for the singer. In a recent post on her social media, Swift thanked the 288,000 attendees who witnessed her show in the oceanic country over three nights. “Melbourne, what can I say to you after over 288 thousand of you have come to dance with us in the last 3 nights? It has been unforgettable. They were on another LEVEL. Thanks for the memories. I will visit them again more frequently,” the artist wrote on her social networks. She posted two photos in the black and white palette from her upcoming album “The Tortured Poets Department“.
The eras tour is still going on and will be for a long time
Taylor Swift‘s next stop on her Eras Tour will also be in Australia, she has four dates scheduled at the Accor Stadium of Sydney starting on February 23. Later, Taylor will give six performances in Singapore between March 2 and 9 and then embark on a tour of Europe that will last until almost the end of the year.
