FFive months after the start of Taylor Swift’s successful Eras Tour, having taken the tour across the United States and to Mexico, she took the epic concert experience to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she moved one of the most anticipated parts of their shows. . Instead of singing two surprise songs that aren’t on the show’s extensive three-and-a-half-hour setlist at the end of the performance, she started doing mashups of those surprise songs.
The first time, she combined two 1989 (Taylor version) Songs: “Is It Over Now?” and “Out of the Forest”. After a perhaps unsurprisingly positive reception, the singer continued to make mashups as she toured Brazil, Japan, Australia and Singapore.
From March 14th, the box office juggernaut Eras Tour the concert film is available to stream on Disney+. This version includes a number of songs that did not appear in the film’s theatrical release or VOD release in December, including “Cardigan”, “Maroon”, “Death By a Thousand Cuts”, “You Are In Love” and “I Can see you.”
Here’s a guide to all the mashups Swift has done with her surprise songs.
“Is it over now?” and “Out of the Forest” by 1989 (Taylor version)
In the first mashup presented as one of Swift’s surprise songs, the pop star chose two songs from her latest re-release 1989 (Taylor version). The album had been released a few weeks earlier, and she decided to surprise the audience with one of Vault’s new tracks and a fan favorite – both are rumored to be about her. former relationship with singer Harry Styles. Fan theories point to the same lyrics in each song, which seem to suggest a snowmobile accident the two suffered in 2012.
“Getaway Car”/ “August”/ and “Outro Lado da Porta”
At her stop in Melbourne, Australia on February 17, Swift performed “Getaway Car” from her 2017 album, Reputation (The next album fans are theorizing will be released as part of his re-recording project). Swift first performed the song in May during her stop in New Jersey, where she brought her collaborator, Jack Antonoff. The mashup took an interesting turn when she included the Folklore cut “August”, which is already in the original setlist, and then took another turn to include a song by Fearless (Taylor’s version) called “Other Side of the Door”.
“Come Back… Be Here” and “Light of Day”
Swift took a deep cut out of her Red (Taylor’s version) album called “Come Back… Be Here” and combined it with “Daylight”, a song by Lover—the first album in her discography that she kept the master of when she signed her new deal with Republic Records in 2018. It was during this third Melbourne show that she said she might repeat some surprise songs as the tour continued. “I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward, and I don’t want to limit anything or say, ‘Oh, if I played this song, I can’t play it again,’” she says. said on the show. “So from now on, I don’t want to take any paint colors out of the paint box. [or] tools out of the toolbox.”
“White Horse” and “Coney Island”
Bad weather during the Eras Tour’s first stop in Sydney, Australia, meant that Swift’s opener, Sabrina Carpenter, was unable to perform her set. Later, Swift brought in Carpenter to do a mashup of “White Horse” by Fearless (Taylor’s version) and “Coney Island” by Ever. Carpenter took to Instagram to describe the moment she shared with Swift on stage. “Sabrina, 9 years old, singing white horse, would never have seen this shit coming,” she wrote in the caption of the post.
“Should Have Said No” and “You Ain’t Sorry” / “Peace” and “New Year’s Day”
The second night in Sydney had two surprise song mashups. Swift performed “Should’ve Said No” from her self-titled debut album and mixed it with “You’re Not Sorry” from Fearless (Taylor’s version).

For the second part of the surprise song section, she sang the heavy rock version “Haunted” by Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and his collaboration with Bon Iver, “Exile” by Folklore.
Swift’s performance of “Exile” caused one woman to go viral after posting her emotional reaction to hearing the song live while sitting outside the stadium with her friends.

I laughed at the video myself when I first watched it,” she said.

The singer treated her fans to two more mashups on her last night in Sydney with the Fearless (Taylor’s version) track “Forever & Always” and “Maroon” by Midnight. However, this was not the only Midnight music she made. Later, the pop star mixed “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” with “Ivy” from Ever.
