Taylor Swift is back at it! The 34-year-old pop star returned to her Eras world tour on Thursday (May 9) after a two-month hiatus, kicking off the European leg of the trek at La Defense Arena in Paris for the first of four scheduled shows at the venue — complete with plenty of new costumes, dance numbers, visuals, special effects and, best of all, songs.
Over the break, Swift released her new album Department of Tormented Poets, which immediately debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and broke several records along the way. But with a new LP in the books, fans couldn't help but wonder how the singer would shake up her tried-and-true setlist to make room for the new material.
And he made room, he did. Swift ended up cutting several numbers from her previous seasons and restructuring the show to make room for a total of seven tracks from Tormented Poets — or, “As I like to call it, 'Female Rage: The Musical,'” the 14-time Grammy winner joked right after TTPD section complete, moving on to the surprise night songs section. The new segment of the Eras show also featured the superstar hovering above the stage, being abducted by a UFO and a ragtime jazz interlude.
“This was an unforgettable evening in Paris!” Swift poured into the crowd before closing as usual with “Karma.” “Thank you very much!”
