Not the eras tour ending yesterday and then the animal rescue I’ve volunteered and been a foster mam at for almost 3 years announcing today they’re closing. I joined after my fur baby crossed and it’s been a lifeline honestly. Taylor can you bring the eras tour back all this change is too much and I’m too sad rn x
 
I’ve just spent way too long playing a game where I edit my dream Eras set list, with the rule being I can only add in as many songs as I take out. I fudged it a bit as I counted shortened versions as songs, and also took out the surprise songs (as in theory you’re getting what you want). It was so hard! And I had to cut some bangers to fit all my faves in. Would love to know what the rest of you would do!

No offense but I think we have very different taste in Taylor songs 🤣 completely on board with more Speak Now and Debut though. I know they were the untoured albums but I'd have made all of my cuts from Lover, Folkmore and Midnights for it to be a proper Greatest Hits show.

You order from the sale? I also have, first time from her site but in my experience ordering from the US be expecting to wait 2-3 weeks.

Yeah, it was a lot cheaper on the US site so went with that as an early Xmas present to myself, but if it takes a few weeks then it can be an early bday present haha
 
I think the above example just shows how we all have different ideas of what the perfect set list would be, and that she would have never pleased everybody whatever choices she made, so on reflection, apart from the blasphemous absence of any debut songs on the actual set list and criminal removal of Long Live, I think she actually did the best she could with it, especially the inclusion of nearly every surprise songs across the dates and a new album into proceedings! 🥰
 
I think with any setlist conversation you have to put aside what your favourite or liked song are and considered what would work well for pacing and a mix of fans/general public

I think Lover has some disappointing songs but it works because you have energetic songs mixed in with slower songs. Nothing is overly hype and acts as the “height” of the show (a bit like Rep) but does get the crowd ready for the show overall

The main problem in the setlist lies around Speak Now, possibly Red and Folkevermore eras imo
 
Here's mine. Taylor would just have to sing for another 10-15 minutes and suck it up to be honest.

I love your edits, especially adding the Bolter!
 
So this would have been my dream Eras show. I've kept to the basic style of the eras, so that rules out certain songs for some eras (e.g. Better Than Revenge wouldn't work with the whole ethereal ballerina style of that era in the show). I also think some songs could have been combined/shortened – I don't think we needed all of Love Story or I Knew You Were Trouble.

I also don't think there had to be a specific Debut era, but I always thought she should have opened the acoustic set with a song from Debut. I also would have preferred the acoustic set to be less focused on mash-ups, even if it meant getting fewer songs. I'm eternally grateful that I got the full version of YOYOK at my show – it was so special. 😊 But of course all of this is just my opinion and I think she did an amazing job.

Lover

I love the intro and don't think this era really needs anything to be added. I think The Man/You Need To Calm Down could have been combined – I don't like either song very much, but they work in the context of the show and the 'let me see your hands' moment is iconic.

Red

I was very tempted to add State of Grace because that would have been amazing, but after Long Live (which feels more essential), another anthemic song would have been a lot. I personally would have preferred the short version of All Too Well, but I think it was always going to be the 10MV in the show.

I think once TTPD was added, it should have become the final era – I Can Do It With A Broken Heart would have been just as good as Karma for the final song, imo. I would have loved YOYOK and Maroon in the Midnights era and I think Taylor would have too given how many times she played them as surprise songs!

What's four songs between friends? And one is a mashup anyway!
 
My hoody just arrived - that was super quick. It fits but only just, wish I had gone Medium but my daughters cream hoody is small and is massive! Do they do exchanges?

Edited: Just read returns are free and within 28 days, so I am going to reorder the medium and then compare and send one back.
