Firefighters Save Taylor Swift Fan’s Eras Tour Outfit From Destructive House Fire
NASHVILLE, TN - MAY 06: Fans wait in line outside of Nissan Stadium ahead of artist Taylor Swift's second night of performance on May 6, 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee. Thousands of fans traveled from across the country for Swift's three night stop in Nashville as her "Eras" tour continues. Fans attending the concert dressed according to their favorite Taylor Swift eras before the three hour show, featuring 44 of Swift's songs from her last 10 albums
As our building’s resident Taylor Swift super fan, this story was sent to me bright and early this morning with the message “this is something you would do”. And while I welcome my reputation (pun intended), I’m not sure this would be my first reaction in this situation. As much as I adore Taylor, there are other things I would save. According to ABC7 Grace Farrell’s home burst into flames last weekend in Frankfurt, Illinois. This story is incredibly tragic no matter when it occurs. But Grace was set to see Taylor Swift the following day at Soldier Field. And her Eras Tour outfit was inside the house that was currently on fire.
Most importantly Grace and her friends who were staying with her while her parents were out of town, all made it out safely. Unfortunately, the home was completely destroyed. It wasn’t until she was safely out that Grace realized her outfit for the show was still inside. She asked firefighters if she could try to go get it. Obviously, they did not let her enter the home. But two firefighters, named by ABC7 Brian Adcock and Jake Smith stepped into action. They were able to recover her eras tour outfit from the fire and Grace was able to attend the concert the next night for a few hours of normalcy. Other sentimental items were also able to be saved from the fire which the family is incredibly thankful for. You can read the full story here.
Complete List Of The Songs Taylor Swift Has Yet To Sing On Her Record Breaking Eras Tour
The setlist for the tour of the year, Taylor Swift The Eras Tour, consists of 44 songs but when you have a discography as vast as Taylor’s there are still a lot of songs she doesn’t get to sing. That’s why for several tours now Taylor has had the tradition of surprise songs a track that isn’t on the nightly setlist but she sings acoustic. The Eras Tour has two such songs coming near the end of the 3+ hour show. Fans keep track and tune into live streams each night to see what song gets performed. Only once, 3.5 months into the tour has she repeated a song. That was Clean the closing track on Swift’s 2015 album 1989. So needless to say Taylor has performed a lot of songs on The Eras Tour. But if you’re keeping track of what the secret songs may be on your tour stop, here’s a list of the songs she has yet to sing on The Eras Tour.
Surprise Songs Update
And there are still some good ones! I’m writing this in June following the Chicago dates this weekend, though I will update weekly and remove that week’s songs. At this point, only two tracks from reputation have been sung. If rep is your favorite album you’re in luck. Folklore and 1989 fans? We only have a few tracks left from these albums. I’ve lost most of my dream surprise songs. Though throughout the years I’ve seen Taylor 17 times and gotten some fantastic surprise songs. I’ve also heard the vast majority of her pre-Lover discography live. So my dream songs were all ones I haven’t heard live before. Excluding Tim McGraw which I (unknowingly thanks to avoiding spoilers) lost the night before my first show.
My Personal Hardest Losses
The one that hurt the most was You’re On Your Own Kid followed by Better Man, The Moment I Knew, Mirrorball, and Mad Woman. Of the, still numerous, songs left You’re Losing Me and Cornelia Street are my top choices. I expect to lose both of those this weekend as 24 hours after I declared You’re On Your Own Kid my wish, we lost that one. I say this like I have tickets to another date, though I’m hoping to make it to one more before August. What’s your dream Taylor Swift surprise song? Is it one of the songs Taylor Swift has yet to sing on The Eras Tour? See the complete list album by album below.
