Taylor Swift is officially back on tour, with her latest performance in Paris on Thursday. And it turns out she has been working hard during her leave! She’s modified the routine so drastically that Swifties nearly don’t recognize it!
Since the publication of The Tortured Poets Department during her weeks-long hiatus, she’s added a lot of entertaining surprises while also removing some of the moments fans have grown accustomed to. And we’ve got all the details! Warning: There are spoilers coming.
NEW INTRO & POSSIBLE MOVIE
First up, we’ve got word from The Swift Society on X (Twitter) that the whole show was filmed. Is she just getting herself some game tape to review? Like boyfriend Travis Kelce does after a game? Or…
Is it possible she’s filming a new movie?! We all remember the concert film T-Swizzle brought to theaters and eventually Disney+ — so it would make sense an updated concert would need an updated movie. Or perhaps The Eras Tour: Live From Paris?? See the announcement for yourself (below):
Fans also noticed how TTPD is in the new intro to the concert! Now in the famous introduction of all her albums, Tay can be heard saying:
“Straight from The Tortured Poets Department”

NEW ERAS ORDER
Mz. Swift likes to keep her fans on her toes, that’s for sure. And Thursday night’s show was no exception. The pop star made sure to keep her fans guessing as she changed up the whole order of her different album sets. What was originally Lover, Fearless, Evermore, Reputation, Speak Now, Red, Folklore, 1989, then Midnights has now been flipped on its head!
We don’t even know if the order will stay the same, but as it stands it’s now she’s combined Folklore and Evermore to make room for TTPD!
CUT SONGS
She also dropped a LOT of songs including The 1 and Long Live, much to the dismay of her Swifties! See the new official setlist — subject to change (below):
You can also see all the songs that did a vanishing act!
COSTUME CHANGES
The 34-year-old singer dazzled French Swifties by ditching her signature pink and blue Lover bodysuit for an orange and red one at the beginning of the show!
The Man blazer also matched this look!
Is all the new red to give a wink at her newfound love for the Kansas City Chiefs??? Hmm…
Her 2019 album wasn’t the only one that got an update, though! Fearless, Folklore, Speak Now, and Midnights all got upgrades! The Fearless dress is a replica of her original tour dress from the mid-00s, while her Folklore dress changed to yellow rather than cream. Speak Now kept her signature purple ballgown with some new bling, and the Midnights bodysuit got some more 𝓈ℯ𝓍y slits!
Gorgeous!! Taylor’s acoustic “surprise song” dress was also updated to hot pink! And 1989 got a funky mismatched colors look. Similar to her original 1989 tour outfit, she wore a high-waisted blue skirt with a hot pink top, and some mismatched booties.
And, of course, probably the most shocking of all was her Red shirt! It read “This Is Not Taylor’s Version”! Whaaat? What kind of Easter egg is that?
TTPD ERA
Taylor officially welcomed her new 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 to the stage! On Thursday night she performed several songs from her newest album and rocked some insane new ‘fits! She even called the set itself “Female Rage: The Musical”. Look at the official list of songs she performed (below):
And check out some of these outfits! Including a similar dress to the one she wore at the Golden Globes, as well as a new top and shorts combo.

It didn’t stop there, though — Parisian Swifties were treated to a whole new dance routine and stage, featuring demonic looking faces and even alien abductions. Wild!
It’s almost like there’s an entirely new concert going on!
What do U think the best part of Taylor’s new setup is, Perezcious readers? Are U a fan? Sound OFF (below)!
