Taylor Swift, currently on her European Eras Tour, uploaded a video of her tour prep to YouTube Shorts, hinting at the possibility of adding a set dedicated to her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. Fans noticed references to the album in the video, including a white guitar and a desk on stage, potentially indicating a special segment for TTPD songs. Other clues included a railing with the initials “TTPD” and backup dancers wearing circus-inspired hats, leading fans to speculate on possible performances of TTPD tracks such as “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?”
Fans have also turned to social media and streaming platforms for more hints on what TTPD songs may be included in the setlist. An Instagram post by Pandora mentioned specific tracks from the album like “Fortnight,” “The Alchemy,” and “But Daddy I Love Him,” sparking excitement among Swifties. Additionally, Apple Music’s Swift-themed playlist “Taylor Swift Essentials” recently added songs from TTPD, further fueling speculation about the upcoming concert setlist. However, Apple’s official Eras “Setlist” playlist has not been updated with any TTPD hits.
Swift began her Eras Tour in March 2023, touring the United States and Central America before heading overseas to Japan, Australia, and Singapore. After a month-long hiatus, she is scheduled to perform in Paris on May 9, though details about whether and how TTPD songs will be integrated into the setlist remain unknown. Some fans have predicted that the new tracks could make an appearance during Swift’s acoustic “surprise song” segment, adding to the anticipation surrounding the concert.
The excitement surrounding the potential inclusion of TTPD songs in Swift’s tour setlist has fans eagerly awaiting her upcoming shows. Speculations about the themed set are based on clues from the tour preparation video, as well as social media posts and playlist updates from streaming platforms. As Swift continues her world tour, fans are eagerly anticipating if and how TTPD will be integrated into the concert experience, adding another layer of excitement to an already highly-anticipated event.
With Swift’s Eras Tour drawing international crowds and garnering critical acclaim, the addition of a Tortured Poets Department set promises to be a unique and captivating experience for fans. Swift’s attention to detail and thematic storytelling in her music have always been a highlight of her live performances, and the inclusion of TTPD songs is expected to further enhance the concert experience. As fans eagerly await the upcoming shows, the anticipation continues to grow as they look forward to experiencing the magic of Taylor Swift’s music and storytelling on stage.
