From announcing her tenth album Midnights during an acceptance speech to breaking ticket-selling records to gearing up for her feature film directorial debut, Taylor Swift continues to surprise us. And that includes her Eras Tour, which kicked off in Glendale, Arizona on March 17.
She's wrapped up three weekends of her tour, most recently performing in Arlington, TX. At one of her Texas shows, she surprised the audience by swapping a song on the setlist for something she had never performed live. "You think you can just go online, you think you can just scroll and know the setlist, you think you can just come prepared," she said onstage. "Let it be said about the Eras Tour: we're tricksy."
In addition to her self-proclaimed "setlist hi-jinx," every night of the tour will see two surprise songs. Which means that even if your favorite song didn't make the original setlist, you might still get to hear it (even if you're streaming the concert on TikTok).

How does Taylor Swift choose surprise songs?
It seems that Taylor Swift's surprise song choices are somewhat last minute and based on what she wants to play, but we're thinking that two of her songs from Houston are more than meets the eye — er, more than meets the ear?
Twitter users recently brought up Speak Now (Taylor's Version) when images of Taylor filming in Liverpool went viral. The other two people in the photos appear to be Joey King and Taylor Lautner, who both played a role in the original Speak Now: Joey King was featured in the "Mean" music video and Taylor Lautner is the subject of "Back to December."
And we're talking about Speak Now (Taylor's Version) again after the April 22 concert because of her surprise songs. After all, "A Place In This World" (which is featured in Joey King's Ramona and Beezus) and "Today Was A Fairytale" (which is a part of Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner's Valentine's Day) feels very intentional.
Are they filming a music video for a vault track, like Taylor did for "I Bet You Think About Me" in 2021? Are they filming another Midnights music video? Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to find out!
