The Number Ones
We’ve Got A File On You
Album Of The Week
10 Best Songs
Taylor Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour picked back up again in France on Thursday after a two-month break. In that time, Swift released a new album, The Tortured Poets Department (technically two albums), and she incorporated a block of songs from it into the setlist, which was slightly rejiggered to accommodate the newer tracks. (Sorry “The Archer” fans — that’s been cut! Along with “Long Live,” “the 1,” “last great american dynasty,” “tolerate it,” and a couple others.)
The Tortured Poets Department additions included “But Daddy I Love Him,” “So High School,” “Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me,” “Down Bad,” “Fortnight,” “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” and “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.” For one of her acoustic guitar surprise song of the night, she naturally did the Midnights bonus track “Paris” live for the first time. And for the piano one, she debuted TTPD track “loml.”
