Starting with the Europe shows in May, do we think Taylor is going to add an entire new act to her Eras Tour for this album or will she start loading up TTPD songs to the surprise songs act?

The show already clocks in at over 3 and a half hours, so unless she thinks she has the stamina for a four-hour show, she’s going to cut songs from likely all of 1989, folklore, evermore, and Midnights (aka the longest era sets) to make room for TTPD if she indeed adds it on as an entire new era. She’s a meticulous planner though. She started work on this album immediately after turning in Midnights, but has likely been planning this tour since the dawn of 2022, even before finishing Midnights. She couldn’t have known that TTPD was going to be written, she was still with Joe at the time and likely still in denial that things were going south. At best, I think TTPD is going to exclusively be the acoustic section until she goes through all 21 tracks.
Or she’ll actually add an entire new era to the Eras Tour, because she’s Taylor Swift. I really don’t know anymore, I fully did not expect an entirely new album to come until long after this tour.

Considering she already excludes some of her eras from the tour (despite the tour name), I would not be surprised if she completely got rid of one of the albums. I could foresee her doing that with maybe 'Fearless' even though it has great singles.

I am usually really suspicious in this world of AI that the leaked snippets are real, but the production on “Fresh out the Slammer” sounds very “Jack” and the lyrics sound very “Taylor” so I think it’s legit. Lord I pray so cause that is a jam and a hit! Meanwhile I LOVE the alternate cover for The Black Dog. It's my second favorite behind the original. 1.) Original cover 2.) The Black Dog 3.) The Albatross 4.) The Bolter

How long do we think it will take for all of the variants to appear legally on streaming? I hope by the end of summer but it will most likely be well into next year. Unlike hits different , exclusive tracks aren't target exclusive . lakes was similar and showed up after a month.

If she takes out the 2 surprise songs she could use that time to do the new era (add 3 more songs) and then it’s only like 10-15 minutes more time wise compared to now.

Nah she wouldn’t have to remove any eras, just taking one song from some of the longer eras would be enough to make room for a few TTPD songs. Performances that are just her with little happening on stage could easily be removed without much fanfare (aside from an angry fan or two online).
A few that came to mind: - evermore: “tis the damn season” (I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it shared on TikTok or IG Reels, it can’t be at all memorable then, can it?) - folklore: “the 1” / “betty” (while I personally LOVEEEEE “the 1”, and “betty” sets up a nice personal moment and explains the love triangle arc, one or both could get the chop. “August” can’t be removed unless she’d want to pull the bridge to “illicit affairs” too, which would be considered a first degree felony in all 50 States :kii: ) - 1989: “Wildest Dreams” - Midnights: “Mastermind” (it’s fine but it brings that set to a SCREECHING HALT after “Vigilante Sh*t” and “Bejeweled”.)

Bejewelled and Vigilante can also be cut, I think. I always felt the Midnights section was too heavy
Also, this is amazing

Vigilante Shit, The Archer, Betty and Mastermind can go.
She can do four TTPD songs and the rest on the acoustic sets. She also needs to finally start dping songs she hasn't done again so my OCD can relax. She's got like an entire third of Fearless yet to perform.

I don't want her cutting "Vigilante Shit" at all, it's one of the most sensual/different parts of the show IMO. It's a talking point. Otherwise I would easily cut and replace:
"The Archer" "Tis The Damn Season" "Betty" "Mastermind"

I don’t see anything from Midnights getting cut tbh. I think it’s more likely for TTDS, the 1, wildest dreams to get the axe. I do hope she adds TPD as an era. There’s no guarantee as she may want this tour to stand as its own thing without it and tour for TPD and TS 12 next time around.

It does make the most sense that she would cut one song from each of the eras with the most songs (folklore, evermore, 1989, Midnights, maybe Lover) to add in TTPD songs. The more I think about it, she’s not getting rid of the surprise songs since they always generate fan buzz and Taylor made a point that she was restarting the surprise songs for the 2024 shows. But knowing Taylor, she’ll do whatever she wants, even if that means cutting no songs and making it a 4 hour show. And let’s be real here, Swifties would have no issue with 4 hours of Taylor.

The surprise songs section is the only reason the tour has consistently stayed buzz-worthy. If it stayed the same every single night, the fans would not be incentivized to watch it night after night on a livestream, so I highly doubt she will touch that portion.

TBH, her sudden spree of mashup makes me think that she is getting bored with the setlist. It would make perfect sense for her to change the setlist not just to promote her newest studio album but for her own sanity. The only issue is that her stage is literally getting shipped during the break so they can't likely add another big set piece but the video screens gives her team alot of flexibility to add new visuals .
But regardless she would cut songs from the other eras such as archer, tis the damn season, betty/tglad, mastermind over the surprise songs. Afterall, she will need the surprise songs to play whatever tracks from ttpd don't end up on the set list.

She would be crazy to cut the surprise songs. They make every show unique and keep fans who haven’t been yet/already been engaged
Speaking of that, I found a link on Twitter to Box folder (like GoogleDrive) with audio of every surprise song and in high quality. I’m assuming I can’t share that here since it has a download link?

It’s just ancestry marketing themselves and people trying to get clicks. Basically, everyone American with Western European ancestry is related to each other in some way.

So THAT’s where the talent comes from.
Only a distant relative of someone like Dickinson could write lines like You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath, Now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head, Did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you too? Did some bird flap its wings over in Asia?, etc.

Or...Pop Crave, which is essentially just a stan account gone wild, trying to get clicks, LOL. I'm just ready for the album at this point.

5 different vinyls with 5 different “bonus” songs. C’mon.
The only logic I can get, outside of gross, gross over-capitalism, is that her music has become so popular and accessible, this is her way of establishing the equivalent of “album cuts” or “deep cuts” for her future tours/ surprise songs - trying to create some scarcity around her catalog.

Everyone is desperate for swiftie clicks but this isn’t her teams style. Agree. Definitely not her team's style since she is also 9th cousins with Jeffrey Dahmer lol (and related to a bunch of other famous/infamous people - like so many of us are). But as has been previously stated, essentially everyone is related to everyone. However, I'm a big ancestry nerd, and I as I'm sure many of you, are probably also related to Taylor at some point down the line. For me, we're 9th cousins, 3x removed - common ancestor is William Swift (1593-1642). Side note: She is related to Emily in more than one way, a couple of years ago it was revealed that Taylor and Emily were 6th cousins 5x removed, similar lines, except the 3x is through Bernice Maude Thompson's father, and the 5x line is through Bernice's mother.

Dont overthink it. It's so she can release them to streaming a few months after release a get a boost without being accused to tacking songs on to an existing project. And then she'll release a complete edition with all of them.
