Taylor Swift‘s return to touring has sparked excitement among fans worldwide, especially with her unique approach to each show on the Eras Tour. Since kicking off the tour, Taylor Swift has made it a point to surprise her audience with acoustic renditions of two different songs from her extensive catalog of 10 studio albums during each three-hour performance.

At the tour’s outset, Swift shared her ambitious goal of never repeating a surprise song, promising ticket-holders an unparalleled experience at every venue. However, as she humorously acknowledged during a show in April 2023, exceptions to this rule might occur if she encounters a mishap during a performance or if she changes her mind. This flexibility has led Taylor Swift to introduce medleys and revisit certain tracks that resonate deeply with her and her fans.

Among the songs that have made multiple appearances during the tour are tracks like “Clean,” “Out of the Woods,” and “Getaway Car,” which have been played four and five times respectively. Swift’s setlists have also included fan favorites such as “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” “Red,” and “Everything Has Changed,” each making three appearances so far.

Reflecting the breadth of her musical journey, Swift has also included less frequently performed gems like “Maroon,” played seven times, and “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” performed nine times.
