The Eras Tour is Taylor Swift’s first major tour in five years, as she will perform a 44-song setlist featuring chart-topping hits from all 10 of her full-length studio albums.
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
Ever since the first night of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour — when the pop star announced she’d be performing two surprise acoustic songs at every show.
