The Full Tortured Poets Department Setlist From The Eras Tour

Author Melanie Day

And we knew it was coming. The question was not if it was when and what it would contain. And a little more than 2 hours into the Paris Night One Eras Tour we got our answer on what the Tortured Poets Department setlist would contain.

The Tortured Poets Department set follows 1989. Taylor took the stage wearing an outfit similar to her Grammy ensemble where she announced the project. Complete with the clock necklace.

“But Daddy I Love Him” was the first song and it is one of my favorite tracks so I was thrilled that she added this one! She presumably confirms the last verse is about Travis, going into a brief section of “So High School” a song we know is about her current love.

Taylor then glides across the stage on a new set piece during “Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me”. This part was very very cool! Mandy Moore worked a number with the choreography for The Tortured Poets Department setlist. I’m loving it all.

“Down Bad” was made to be performed live. And she seemingly mashed the track up with the single “Fortnight” for another incredible performance. The one we got a sneak peek photo of on social media.

“I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” may be the best live performance of this tour. Performing a circus-type show, she did the signature Taylor Swift on-stage costume change this time into a two-piece outfit with a short jacket.

I loved everything about this performance of one of my favorite songs on the album. If you need me the rest of the day I’ll be watching videos of that on repeat.

All 6 Songs Taylor Swift Cut From The Eras Tour Setlist

A new version of the Eras Tour debuted in Paris on May 9th. I hypothesized some songs would be cut to make room for tracks from her latest project The Tortured Poets Department. And yes unfortunately some songs were in fact cut from the Eras Tour setlist.

And as the night (luckily afternoon here in North Carolina) began it seemed to be going the way of the song(s) I hypothesized.

But then things got a little chaotic. To say the least. Eras changed order, were combined, songs were cut, and new outfits. It was confusing, and fun to watch in real time. And it was a little bittersweet when I realized what the songs cut from the eras tour setlist were.

And the songs/performances added are worth any price we had to pay. Seriously that may be worth the (mindblowingly expensive) price of admission.

So here are all the songs that we said goodbye to on the setlist. Thankfully we can still stream them on Disney +! See a full rundown of everything added and the chaos Paris brought here.

6 Songs Cut From The Eras Tour Setlist

  • 1. The Archer

    Taylor left “The Archer” off the theater version of the Eras Tour so I expected this one right out of the gate. And that’s what we got. I adore this track so I’m sad to see it go, but I never expected it to make the setlist in the first place.

  • 2. Long Live

    While this may be one of the hardest losses for a lot of fans, I expected it. “Long Live” was only added after the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). So I had a feeling it would be one to go as well. While I’m sad I won’t get to experience it on the Eras Tour (the two shows I’ve already been to were pre it being added), I’m thankful I’ve seen it live a handful of times. So if that means seeing songs I haven’t heard live before it’s worth it to me.

  • 3. Tis The Damn Season

  • 4. Tolerate It

  • 5. The 1

  • 6. The Last Great American Dynasty
