Taylor Swift has revealed that she’s hoping to play different surprise songs at every single night of her mammoth ‘Eras’ tour, as well as taking requests from Jack Antonoff and Gracie Abrams.Swift kicked off the tour last month with a huge 44-song set that pulled from across her back catalogue. While the bulk of the setlist has remained the same, every night she’s performed a couple of “surprise” acoustic songs.Last night (April 1), during her second show at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Taylor Swift said: “So far on this tour, I’ve been playing different songs every night.

Taylor Swift switched up the setlist on the latest stop of her current ‘Eras’ tour, including ‘the 1’ in the ‘folklore’ segment of the show for the first time.Before kicking off the performance of the 2020 album’s opening track at a show in Arlington, Texas, Swift said: “You think you can come prepared? You think you can just scroll and know the setlist?” ‘the 1’ was played in place of ‘invisible string’, which had typically been played to start the ‘folklore’ segment of the three-and-a-quarter-hour show.Until then, the only segment of the ‘Eras’ tour setlist that has regularly changed has been the ‘surprise song’ segment, where Swift plays a different acoustic song or two every night of the tour. At the first show in Arlington, the surprise songs were ‘Sad Beautiful Tragic’ from 2012’s ‘Red’ and ‘Ours’ from 2010’s ‘Speak Now’.

Taylor Swift embarked on The Eras Tour two weeks ago, but she was one of the many celebrity names invoked in Gwyneth Paltrow's ski collision trial in Park City, Utah. The 50-year-old Goop lifestyle brand founder took the stand Friday to defend herself in a lawsuit filed by Terry Sanderson who claimed Gwyneth not only crashed into him causing traumatic injuries, but also skied away after the crash on the slopes at the Deer Valley ski resort in 2016.  He initially sued Paltrow for $3.1 million, but a judge dismissed the claim and removed the exclusive resort and a ski instructor from the lawsuit before Sanderson proceeded with the $300,000 suit.

I’m gonna go innovate some stuff. Things need to be innovated and I'm gonna be the one that does it,'» Swift quipped.She continued, «But what I did do, was try to make the right decision for me, at the time — whether or not it had ever been successfully done before.

Taylor Swift quietly made donations to food banks in cities where she was playing shows for her ‘Eras’ tour.The tour kicked off last week in Glendale, Arizona, which was temporarily named ‘Swift City’ in her honour, and it was reported on Monday (March 20) that while she was there, she made a sizeable donation to the Arizona Food Bank Network.Swift didn’t publicise the donation, but news of her generosity became known when the food bank told local news outlet AZ Central what happened.“It’s not every day that you get a call from someone who works in PR for Taylor Swift, so we were dubious at first, but happily, it turned out to be absolutely real,” said Terri Shoemaker, Vice President of External Relations at the Arizona Food Bank Network.Shoemaker said Swift’s PR agent had told her that Swift planned to make a positive impact in the communities where she was touring, beginning with Arizona’s food banks. One in nine people and one in six children in Arizona struggle with food insecurity, according to Shoemaker.A few days later, a food bank in southern Nevada, Three Square, revealed that Swift had also left them a large donation ahead of her ‘Eras’ gigs in Las Vegas last night (March 24) and tonight (March 25).“We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling grateful on this day, March 22!” the organization wrote on its official Instagram feed.

millions of views on Twitter and TikTok with many viewers praising her Michael Phelps-like form.“Where’s that gold medal?” one awestruck fan captioned a video of the stunt, which the 12-time Grammy Winner performed on Friday and Saturday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.The clip starts innocuously enough with the 33-year-old “You Belong With Me” singer strolling along the stage in an elaborate green dress towards at the end of her show. Then, all of a sudden, Swift dives headfirst into a hole in the stage like Greg Louganis as a splash effect sounds and Swifties erupt into rapturous cheers.Since when?? Where’s that gold medal?? #glendaletstheerastour #taylorswift #tstheerastour #swifttok #diver #swimmer #fyp And that was just the first part of the spectacle.

Among the tracks are three re-recordings, including a pair of cuts she wrote and recorded specifically for the The Hunger Games soundtrack, which was released more than a decade ago.The two tunes are “Eyes Open” and “Safe & Sound,” which credits musicians Joy Williams and John Paul White as featured acts. At the time the song was originally made available, those two were in a duo known as The Civil Wars, though now they work independently.Also included in Swift’s offering is a new version of “If This Was a Movie.” That tune was originally released as a track on the deluxe edition of Swift’s third album Speak Now.But perhaps the biggest surprise for Swifties is the final song on the list, “All of the Girls You Loved Before,” which has never been heard before.The cover used on YouTube is from her album Lover, so it appears the cut was written and recorded around that time.

A real Love Story!
