Conclusion

Despite taking place 3 hours and 15 minutes with 10 albums recreated on stage, The Eras Tour still does not have enough time to recreate all songs throughout Taylor Swift’s career. This is also a pity when fans are eager to listen to more songs from their favourite albums. With her debut album “Taylor Swift” or “Speak Now”, only 1 song from these albums was performed by Taylor on stage. However, this could be seen as a signal that Taylor is planning to re-record these albums under the Taylor’s version label in the coming years.
