Swifties Believe TTPD Will Be Added To The Eras Tour
It is just a “Fortnight” until Taylor Swift hits the road again, continuing her Eras Tour in Europe. Since the pop icon dropped her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, a week ago, Swifties are believe this new album will be added to the Eras Tour.
Naturally, Swifties took to social media to share their thoughts about the Easter eggs Swift loves to give fans. As we know, Swift’s Eras Tour concerts last over three hours. On May 9, Swift will be in Paris for four nights, joined by Paramore. As we previously reported, Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams thought Swift’s songwriting on the album was “impressive.” Though Swift hasn’t clearly confirmed if TTPD will be added to the tour setlist, she dropped a YouTube Short that suggests she will.
Using audio from her opening album track with Post Malone, Swift posted a black-and-white clip on Thursday night (April 25). Captioning the #ForAFortnightChallenge video, “A fortnight til Paris [white heart emoji],” eagle-eyed fans broke down the hints in the video.
Looks Like TTPD Will Be Added To The Eras Tour
In the 15-second clip, Swift is seen practicing for her Eras Tour, singing, dancing, and playing the piano. One brief moment in the video sent Swifties into a frenzy. Swift is seen standing next to a silver railing that eagle-eyed fans quickly surmised was in the shape of the TTPD logo. Others also noted that the video appeared to feature new choreography and outfits that have not yet been rolled out, further proof that a new Era is potentially on the horizon.
One fan commented, “HOW IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE TTPD SIGN SHES LEANING AGAINST?! OR WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE DANCERS ARE IN TOP HATS!?! ALL OF THIS IS NEW [crying emojis].” Another excitedly asked: “YALL IS THIS A NEW TTPD ERA IN THE ERAS TOUR?!? OMGG DYING CRYING SCREAMING RNN.” A third excited fan exclaimed, “HOW IS NO ONE NOTICING THAT THE BACKUP DANCERS HAVE A HAT ON THEIR HEAD AND THEY ARE PRACTICING SOMETHING NEW!!”
Over on X (formerly Twitter), the theories were even more prevalent. A fan page pointed out: “The same shoes from the ‘Fortnight’ music video and a desk on the table teased during ‘The Eras Tour’ rehearsals for the European leg!”
Another Swiftie noted that the singer-songwriter teased the TTPD Era long ago when she posted a photo of her collection of microphones in different colors, symbolizing each of her Eras. The white microphone wasn’t featured in the show, “Until now!!!” one fan said. In Swift’s Shorts teaser, it can’t be confirmed if the microphone she held was white, but it sure does look like enough and supports the other examples that TTPD will be featured in her tour.
5 Lyrically Depressing But Fun Songs To Dance To On Taylor Swift's Record
Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, has already come with surprise after surprise. From the double album release to the songs shading Kim Kardashian, Matty Healy, and Joe Alwyn, TTPD has “left no crumbs,” as they say.
What stood out to us most about the 31 songs is that Swifties — whether happy and in love or going through it — all loved her dark and cheeky lyricism. Despite whatever mood you are in, it seems as though the pop icon has managed to perfectly balance vulnerable, crushing lyrics of hurt and heartache, all while giving her fans something to dance to and smile through the pain.

I am not a Swiftie, but I can recognize when Swift, 34, has a hit. As a songwriter, Swift can be clever, and her usage of advanced vocabulary absolutely shines on this album. At other times, as pointed out by others on social media, Swift can be a little juvenile with some of her lines, making us wonder what the hype is all about.

However, compared to other successful pop artists of today, no one else does it like Taylor Swift. She reaches her fans worldwide with her lyricism and musicianship. Every album is an event, and this one is no exception. TTPD has been compared to her 2020 album, folklore, with fans commending her use of synths on this album as well.
Longtime collaborator and friend Jack Antonoff shared his love for Taylor on X (formerly Twitter) and listed his favorite tracks on the record, both of which actually ended up on our list as well. “!! FOTS heads lets go !!” he writes of the 7th track, “Fresh Out The Slammer.” He later hyped up track 4, “Down Bad,” as it “heads as well.”
