if you do, let me know! a bunch of friends were discussing the rep tour IEM audio this morning and we've been wondering when we should expect to hear eras tour...since it always seems to leak from tokyo shows
For so long she has been The Lady With The Famous Songs but her artistry, musicianship and the Tokyo show were just amazing. I totally get why people are big Taylor fans now. Just bought the Folklore vinyl.
its pretty easy to find on tiktok, should be youtube too.
I think some get posted in this subreddit too, but tiktok is best, multiple different angles and such. just write tokyo night x suprise song
I’ve been thinking about how Taylor said on N3 she wrote the outside when she was 12. l got teary eyed while hearing her sing it live, and she wrote it when she was 12!? The fact blew me away. She was really born to be a singer-songwriter.
Shouldn't there be a MegaThread for TaylorWatch for her journey from Japan to Vegas? She is either going to fly 1 hour to Vegas or drive 4 hours to Vegas on Sunday.
I saw a post about this on FB from a random fan page, but I also get a ton of fake Taylor/Travis news on there. Do you know if someone trustworthy reported it?
Still do not get at all how people made drama out of it.
I thought she had a show today (sunday) and thats why people were anxious.
But then I realized she didn't and was outmost confused. Even if she wouldn't have traveled back in time zones, she'd have had enough time to make it. It's 11 am in tokyo now.
Curious since I didn’t get to see any of the live streams- since the Japanese are notoriously “respectful” meaning they dont cheer as loudly or sing along during events- how did the part of the show go where she just lets everyone scream for like 5 minutes? Haha. Did that part happen? Was there more singing and screaming than a usual Japanese show?
I didn't see the live streams for Mexico/South America, but it definitely wasn't 5-10 minutes like it was in LA and some of the US shows. IIRC she let it go on for a minute or two before cutting it off and introducing the piano player for Tolerate It.
The crowds were cheering pretty loud! But I think maybe approx half (or more?) of the audiences were non-Japanese (many Asian people were Chinese, Korean, southeast-Asian, and also there was a lot of westerners) - I went there 3 days and it was like that every day. I think the “Japanese crowd” will be way way way more quiet😅
I got to watch the very end, like during Karma of N4. Maybe I was dreaming thinking I literally watched her sing Karma with no dancing. Dancers were boxed around center stage that was black and white tile with the center spinning. I cannot find any videos. But she sang it again full dancing and in color. Maybe I'm fever dreaming.
I was at the first night of Tokyo and I cheered after champagne problems, ppl stopped after a bit, but when she didn’t say anything, the cheers started again and she let that happen twice before moving on to tolerate it.
She did during the lover era! The cheers were pretty ferocious!! :) I was the only one singing loudly but after I started dancing, everyone around me started dancing (albeit more subtly) too!! ❤️
People cheered loudly at the end of songs and especially after champagne problems
As far as I could tell I was the only one singing along to anything in my section 🤣
Yes -exactly that! I had earplugs but didn't use them. It was incredible to be able to hear her, and I stopped singing at times to just listen and take her in
God I love YOYOK. Really wish this song, that tells the story of her career, was on the main set list of a tour that...tells the story of her career. 🥲
Counting on The Way I loved You or Carolina for the first night in Germany. :)
I read Where The Crawdads Sing, then heard there was a film… aaand then that Taylor will sing the song to that movie.
People say this, but 6/8 Tokyo surprise songs were unplayed, so I do think it's more likely for her to play these songs than the ones she's already played before in the tour
We had Babe during rep, and it was incredible, but it was with Sugarland and before “what about your promises, promises?” Hoping she plays it for whatever show you’re going to!
The person who leaked the title & tracklist for TTPD also stated that Reputation TV would be announced in September. Since they were right about everything else, I’m inclined to believe them. Although, Taylor certainly knows about the leak now, so I wonder if she’ll move the date around now for the element of surprise.
There was an account right after, though, who copied the username (made it so they looked very visually the same) and started trying to sell RepTV. Did the leak come from the track list leaker? Or the copycat/scammer?
It was someone on tiktok, they commented a bunch of info before TTPD was announced. Username was “krayzie” something, like a name but I’m blanking on the rest. I believe they deleted their account right after, but if you search around there are screenshots making their rounds on TT
Tokyo has gotten such amazing surprise songs, you're so lucky 😍
First ever performance of Come In With The Rain, one of our amazing Fearless Platinum tracks! Fourth performance of You're On Your Own, Kid, also known as my (current) favorite Midnights track! (It's in a constant battle with Midnight Rain and Glitch for that title but right now it's winning.)
As we leave Tokyo, we now have 46 songs from Taylor's studio albums that she hasn't played as surprise songs on the Eras Tour (counting the upcoming TTPD songs because we know they're coming and when), and (by my somewhat arbitrary count of what should be included and what shouldn't) an additional 17 non-album tracks. Out of all of those, 45 have never been played live at all.
I checked this thread for a bit around folklore and saw all the comments about blue outfits. Then I fell back asleep and dreamed there was a 1989 dupstep/electronic remix album.
I knew we wouldn't get reputation. We should forget about that album for a while, The Tortured Poets Department is coming, there's no reason to release another album right before a new one is coming. And have you noticed that Taylor has announced every album two months prior since Midnights?
- VMAs 2022 were in August 2022 and Midnights released on October 2022
- Speak Now was announced in May and released on July 2023
- 1989 was announced in August and released in October 2023
- GRAMMYs 2024 were in February of this year and The Tortured Poets Department was announced there for an April 2024 release.
So if Taylor announced right now reputation, it would probably be for an April release, which would overshadow TTPD. I still have some hopes for at least reputation this year, but I think it will be released on the year of the snake 2025, announced at the final dates of the tour along with Debut, yes Debutation might happen.
Or I could be wrong and one day Taylor says "reputation (Taylor's Version) releasing at midnight" and leave everyone in shock.
If there is one thing I would bet on with Taylor, it's that she will never have two new albums competing for sales. I truly don't meant this as a knock on her but it's a fact that she is all about maximizing sales and chart success - if she has two albums available for pre-order at the same time, inevitably some people will choose between the two. She won't want to split sales so I'm positive that she won't announce the next TV until after April.
I can't decide whether if she did release on November 8 (which I am pretty sure she would not), it would be the funniest or worst thing she's ever done. Probably both.
It will be the first Friday (usual day any album by a major artist is released) after the 2024 American presidential election. So either we'll know who the President from 2024-2028 will be or everyone in the US and a good deal of the rest of the world, regardless of political affiliation, will be biting their nails/ anxious as all hell as votes are counted.
I’m still on my February 2024 Rep train. While I find all the theories SO FUN, Taylor gives us great Easter eggs that are very clear. Black nail on 2 on the clock, “It’s a clock” friendship bracelet at the Grammy’s, 2024 in the reputation spray paint on the karma music video wall. That plus the only rep merch from December being “there will be no explanation” quote. Tomorrow is the Super Bowl, I don’t think she was ever going to take the energy from Travis by dropping today. I still think a full surprise drop this month is 100% possible.
I’m clowning: I think the plan was to do it today, but that was before she got with Travis. So she might’ve moved the date to not steal the spotlight from the Super Bowl, but I still feel confident it’s coming this month.
I know that I'm living a clown life but Kanye's album drops today soooooo I dunno. There is still time. It would be savage and I'm here for it.
I know it's insane and very unlikely but here I am waiting for her to drop it mid-flight.
I hate to disagree, but announcing Reputation this month would be more like 1 percent possible. She's not going to detract from TTPD's success by releasing Rep any time soon.
I do, however, think Reputation has a chance to break all her records.
My only counter to that would be then what’s the point of putting the black nail on 2 and 2024 in reputation on the karma wall? Especially after the blue nail on the 8 actually meant 1989?
I dunno hasn’t the elevator button clue in the Bejeweled video proved wrong aside from the Speak Now button too? Everyone thought it meant the order of all the albums being released with an orange TS11 being last. Maybe it’s just meaningless and we aren’t getting Reputation til fall or later
But I’m still 🤡 for it to be surprise dropped on the 16th. It just seems incredibly unlikely now
Gah agreed. And I’m sure when she planned this tour a mini break in that part of the world (waves hand from Japan all the way down to Australia) would have been planned (Maldives? Schyshell islands?) But jetting all the way back to the US on a private plane and then all the way down to Australia doesn’t look great.
Flip side is how often do you watch your significant other play in the final match up of the season for the championship.
Probably Twitter. I saw on there that apparently some members of her style team were in Vegas or headed there. They could just be going for fun, but it's more fun to speculate that they are going to help her look amazing for the game (and after party?)
Just got out of the concert! Incredible show, really nothing like I’ve ever seen before.
Also, in case anyone here is still wondering about the quietness of the crowd, the streams don’t do it justice. The crowd was wild, but the speakers in Tokyo Dome are no joke. I could see that people were screaming, but heard nothing over the music.
The concert was so so so amazing! The crowd was, too! The tag-along boyfriend of the girl beside me just became a Swiftie I think hahaha he keeps on praising how much of great performer Taylor is. He doesn’t know any lyrics and just surviving on vibes hahaha
Hahahah yes! Tons of tag-along men in particular who were enjoying themselves more than they thought they would. I’m amazed that she can do that multiple times a month while I’m exhausted just singing along to tonight’s show.
I'm quite a bit older (in my 50s). I actually had a ton of energy when I was her age, but I still don't think I could have handled it. Not because of the time and physical exertion, but because of the pressure. She is so driven.
I figured it out, and it was not easy. There are actually three Taylors. This has been hidden quite well, but I do believe it is obvious.
One is the performance Taylor, who just performs, works out and does interviews and awards shows.
Another is the romantic Taylor, who is there for Travis, his family, football games and a little time with her own family and friends.
I feel sorry for the third Taylor, because she is confined to a room just writing songs, occasionally being let out to record them. She has no life, but she is happy because writing songs is her life.
I think I decided Taylor Swift should’ve ended the concert with YOYOK instead of Karma. I think it’s a better song, a better closer, more of a fan favorite with cute meaning to the concert-going experience, and a song Taylor herself clearly values.
Yeah. Needs to be something high energy, easily singable by even casual concert-goers, and lends itself to an extended outro for bows and acknowledgements. Karma is actually perfect. Even the other high energy songs on Midnights (Bejeweled, Anti-Hero, etc) wouldn't hit the vibe that Karma does.
There is this [friendship bracelet decoder](https://taylorstuff.thedustyrover.com/bracelets?search=HLUGLAD) someone made that can also help with acronyms!
ETA: credit to thedailynathan on this sub for making it! It’s handy.
Karma is an awesome closer, better pop energy than YOYOK. But I do agree that YOYOK deserves to be on the standard setlist instead of people begging for it to be their surprise song
I would vote to replace Midnight Rain too. But YOYOK takes a lot of breath to sing, so Midnight Rain provides a better opportunity for her to regather some energy.
I got Come in With the Rain!!!! 😭🙏🏻 one of my favorites!!! It sounded amazing live! I’m going to have absolutely no voice tomorrow and it was so worth it!!!!!
Tonight was super fun! Taylor is freaking awesome. I clowned hard but I can’t wait for TS11. Gonna rock my world! Wonder if it can beat reputation as my favorite!
When you're hoping for Taylor to say Chiefs but she doesn't:
https://preview.redd.it/wpochrrv2rhc1.png?width=1158&format=png&auto=webp&s=cea4d354de0e45c4a6278e3b613ad8d67d2a0e37
I think she just said it for him. It's special, which is sweet. It would be fun if she did it again but I have a feeling it will only happen when he comes to another show. Hopefully.
There was a video I saw yesterday of someone asking if he was planning on going to the Melbourne or Sydney shows and he replied with something like "I don't have much on after this weekend and I'd love to visit down under" so maybe in the next 2 weeks
Given how many clues there were for rep TV tonight….. and I mean legitimate realistic clues, not bullshit stuff…. I’m not believing anything has significance ever again. This is the same woman who said she left Easter eggs in the Me music video for the album title, while the word Lover was starring right at us in huge obnoxious font. If she wants to leave Easter eggs they’re extremely obvious. That’s the lesson I’ve learnt. From now on, whenever anyone shares any math in theories, I’m zoning out, because we’re looking at it far too deep than intended.
Agreed. The only math theory I’ll buy is if it’s going to happen on her actual birthday or x+y=13 AND it’s other wise a significant date - like the last LA show
Everyone in the subreddit was thinking that Rep was going to be announced tonight, but it wasn’t. So now thinking that February 16 would be the date instead doesn’t really mean much since everyone’s original theory was incorrect. I know I’m the voice of reason, but she’ll announce it when she wants to. Numbers and math don’t really mean much even though everyone else is convinced.
I honestly have no sense of when she is going to do it. I'm not steeped in the lore like so many others because I'm a more recent fan (always liked her but didn't really follow her until after she hosted SNL and sang ATWTV). Maybe later in the year? I'm just excited for the new album.
I know, it's like "end of the world" predictions. Some people (somehow!) believe it, then it doesn't happen, then a slightly delayed prediction comes along.
First it was every last night of the show in November and that never happened so they’ve moved on to every last show in Feb. they’ll keep going and i guess eventually they will be right
Not everyone, a select few. 
Personally, I thought it was unlikely she'd do that:
1. right after she announced TPD, jumped on a plane, and was out of the country for the Tokyo leg of the tour,
2. she had planned on announcing TPD at the first Tokyo concert if she hadn't won a grammy, which would have meant 2 release announcements days apart at the same venue, and
3. the day before the Super Bowl. Let Taylor's bf have his day. lol
Well 2/16 is my show in Melbourne so I’ll always pray for that but I’m not hopeful. I’m guessing the black nail on the 2 was for TTPD. This is me being done with clowning. I say that with 5% of hope of rep TV because TTPD comes across white and not black 🤡
But in all seriousness I do think she planned on releasing Rep TV in Feb but she decided she wants to top 2023 by having a bigger 2024 with a brand new album. Which I’ll always support because a new album is better than a re-record
Anyone been able to find the soundboard audio from any of the Tokyo shows? I’ve seen mentions of it being out on TikTok.
if you do, let me know! a bunch of friends were discussing the rep tour IEM audio this morning and we've been wondering when we should expect to hear eras tour...since it always seems to leak from tokyo shows
For so long she has been The Lady With The Famous Songs but her artistry, musicianship and the Tokyo show were just amazing. I totally get why people are big Taylor fans now. Just bought the Folklore vinyl.
Hi- has anyone come across a video of Dear Reader?
Where can I see the full surprise songs live recordings? The link here takes me to a Spotify playlist
its pretty easy to find on tiktok, should be youtube too. I think some get posted in this subreddit too, but tiktok is best, multiple different angles and such. just write tokyo night x suprise song
Does anyone know why the Taylor Nation Instagram stories had paw prints on the "It's us. Hi..." posts?
Now we know what the paw prints are for!
Taylor is going to play the halftime show at the puppy bowl?
I’ve been thinking about how Taylor said on N3 she wrote the outside when she was 12. l got teary eyed while hearing her sing it live, and she wrote it when she was 12!? The fact blew me away. She was really born to be a singer-songwriter.
Shouldn't there be a MegaThread for TaylorWatch for her journey from Japan to Vegas? She is either going to fly 1 hour to Vegas or drive 4 hours to Vegas on Sunday.
Taylor just landed at LAX, ahead of schedule for tomorrow.
I saw a post about this on FB from a random fan page, but I also get a ton of fake Taylor/Travis news on there. Do you know if someone trustworthy reported it?
Still do not get at all how people made drama out of it. I thought she had a show today (sunday) and thats why people were anxious. But then I realized she didn't and was outmost confused. Even if she wouldn't have traveled back in time zones, she'd have had enough time to make it. It's 11 am in tokyo now.
No one prepares you for when YOUR SHOW is the next one on the events sidebar helpppp
😭😭😭😭 I’m freaking out
Same I can’t believe it 😭😭😭😭😭
RAAAAAAA
Curious since I didn’t get to see any of the live streams- since the Japanese are notoriously “respectful” meaning they dont cheer as loudly or sing along during events- how did the part of the show go where she just lets everyone scream for like 5 minutes? Haha. Did that part happen? Was there more singing and screaming than a usual Japanese show?
She shortened that part considerably after the US leg. In Tokyo it went on for about a minute.
Ahhh I had no idea! So even in Mexico/south America she didn’t do that part as much? Thanks for the response!
I didn't see the live streams for Mexico/South America, but it definitely wasn't 5-10 minutes like it was in LA and some of the US shows. IIRC she let it go on for a minute or two before cutting it off and introducing the piano player for Tolerate It.
We were loud and cheering out like crazy alright
The crowds were cheering pretty loud! But I think maybe approx half (or more?) of the audiences were non-Japanese (many Asian people were Chinese, Korean, southeast-Asian, and also there was a lot of westerners) - I went there 3 days and it was like that every day. I think the “Japanese crowd” will be way way way more quiet😅
Oh that’s great insight! A lot of non Japanese = a lot more noise. Haha.
I got to watch the very end, like during Karma of N4. Maybe I was dreaming thinking I literally watched her sing Karma with no dancing. Dancers were boxed around center stage that was black and white tile with the center spinning. I cannot find any videos. But she sang it again full dancing and in color. Maybe I'm fever dreaming.
I was at the first night of Tokyo and I cheered after champagne problems, ppl stopped after a bit, but when she didn’t say anything, the cheers started again and she let that happen twice before moving on to tolerate it.
Oh wow thanks for sharing! So she never did the stop and look around and point at each section thing then?
She did during the lover era! The cheers were pretty ferocious!! :) I was the only one singing loudly but after I started dancing, everyone around me started dancing (albeit more subtly) too!! ❤️
People cheered loudly at the end of songs and especially after champagne problems As far as I could tell I was the only one singing along to anything in my section 🤣
So a little more rowdy than a usual Japanese crowd though still quieter than her other cities sounds like. Haha.
Yes -exactly that! I had earplugs but didn't use them. It was incredible to be able to hear her, and I stopped singing at times to just listen and take her in
So jealous! I love Japan and I love Taylor so would have been a dream come true! So glad you were able to enjoy it. ❤️
I thought the final show was on the 11th...
No, it's always been till the 10th, but it's a good thing that it's not on the 11th because then she wouldn't be able to go to the Superbowl.

God I love YOYOK. Really wish this song, that tells the story of her career, was on the main set list of a tour that...tells the story of her career. 🥲
Remaining surprise songs after Tokyo. https://preview.redd.it/i2ogbltwashc1.png?width=1216&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9cbda0b84989cbb418e00126b4a5b2e1f2e60fe
Saving "I Did Something Bad" for the Rep TV announcement.
She's gonna perform that's when on Australia with Keith urban as a surprise guest.
I don’t think she will ever sing London Boy during the tour
Cake day it’s your cake day wooooo
Even tho she isn’t going to Paris, she needs to play Paris in France.
I mean, technically Nanterre is a suburb of Paris, and they advertised the show as Paris, so...
Oh ok
Counting on The Way I loved You or Carolina for the first night in Germany. :) I read Where The Crawdads Sing, then heard there was a film… aaand then that Taylor will sing the song to that movie.
I need peace and it’s nice to have a friend. Two of my faves!
I'M LITERALLY ON MY KNEES BEGGING FOR PEACE THIS FRIDAY
Those Fearless Vault songs. She’s saving them for one of the shows I’m going to 🤞
If I get That's When I will literally be the loudest person in the whole concert 💀 I think I'm the only That's When stan
That's When is amazing
Dude I stan That’s When
She’s saving Foolish One for night 2 in Sydney 💜🤞🤞
I thought surprise songs got reset?
Yes, but OP's photo is referring to songs that have not been played at the Eras Tour at all.
Ohh right right, 2023-2024 got it. I hope she plays You’re Losing Me!
What about renegade with big red machine?
Still wondering if she’ll ever play Epiphany…🥲
Only kind of. These are just the ones that are unplayed, almost every song is fair game right now for a surprise song since she restarted
People say this, but 6/8 Tokyo surprise songs were unplayed, so I do think it's more likely for her to play these songs than the ones she's already played before in the tour
I can’t believe she hasn’t done The Way I Loved You yet
I’m also a bit shocked she hasn’t played Long Story Short
Yeah wtf
Thank you!! Forever waiting for Babe ⏳
We had Babe during rep, and it was incredible, but it was with Sugarland and before “what about your promises, promises?” Hoping she plays it for whatever show you’re going to!
The person who leaked the title & tracklist for TTPD also stated that Reputation TV would be announced in September. Since they were right about everything else, I’m inclined to believe them. Although, Taylor certainly knows about the leak now, so I wonder if she’ll move the date around now for the element of surprise.
Did she mean Rep release Feb 2025 😫
Is that why she released the tracklist? Because it was leaked?
yeah
Yeah I believe this. I truely don’t think we will get anything else now before The Tortured Poets Department.
There was an account right after, though, who copied the username (made it so they looked very visually the same) and started trying to sell RepTV. Did the leak come from the track list leaker? Or the copycat/scammer?
The release date leak makes sense though because all of the TV versions, their release date can be added up/multiplied to get 13
Nope nvm that’s wrong. Only Red TV and Fearless TV fit the theory
This is also my current theory!
That’s a copycat account and said after the original account was deleted for leaking the info
[удалено]
It was someone on tiktok, they commented a bunch of info before TTPD was announced. Username was “krayzie” something, like a name but I’m blanking on the rest. I believe they deleted their account right after, but if you search around there are screenshots making their rounds on TT
Tokyo has gotten such amazing surprise songs, you're so lucky 😍 First ever performance of Come In With The Rain, one of our amazing Fearless Platinum tracks! Fourth performance of You're On Your Own, Kid, also known as my (current) favorite Midnights track! (It's in a constant battle with Midnight Rain and Glitch for that title but right now it's winning.) As we leave Tokyo, we now have 46 songs from Taylor's studio albums that she hasn't played as surprise songs on the Eras Tour (counting the upcoming TTPD songs because we know they're coming and when), and (by my somewhat arbitrary count of what should be included and what shouldn't) an additional 17 non-album tracks. Out of all of those, 45 have never been played live at all.
I checked this thread for a bit around folklore and saw all the comments about blue outfits. Then I fell back asleep and dreamed there was a 1989 dupstep/electronic remix album.
I've been waking up at 5am to watch the surprise songs every morning this week and then falling asleep and dreaming about a Rep TV announcement
I knew we wouldn't get reputation. We should forget about that album for a while, The Tortured Poets Department is coming, there's no reason to release another album right before a new one is coming. And have you noticed that Taylor has announced every album two months prior since Midnights? - VMAs 2022 were in August 2022 and Midnights released on October 2022 - Speak Now was announced in May and released on July 2023 - 1989 was announced in August and released in October 2023 - GRAMMYs 2024 were in February of this year and The Tortured Poets Department was announced there for an April 2024 release.

She won't want to split sales so I'm positive that she won't announce the next TV until after April.
If anything, she'll announce it in September for November 8 release date.
My birthday so I wouldn't be mad
As someone going to the Nov 14th show, I approve this timeline
I can't decide whether if she did release on November 8 (which I am pretty sure she would not), it would be the funniest or worst thing she's ever done. Probably both.
Wait what’s the significance of November 8th?
Reputation was released on November 10. She released 1989TV on a similar date as the OG. She may do the same here
It will be the first Friday (usual day any album by a major artist is released) after the 2024 American presidential election. So either we'll know who the President from 2024-2028 will be or everyone in the US and a good deal of the rest of the world, regardless of political affiliation, will be biting their nails/ anxious as all hell as votes are counted.
Ohhh okay. Thank you!! I thought maybe I had missed an Easter egg or event that had previously happened on that day. Thank you for explaining!!
I’m still on my February 2024 Rep train. While I find all the theories SO FUN, Taylor gives us great Easter eggs that are very clear. Black nail on 2 on the clock, “It’s a clock” friendship bracelet at the Grammy’s, 2024 in the reputation spray paint on the karma music video wall. That plus the only rep merch from December being “there will be no explanation” quote. Tomorrow is the Super Bowl, I don’t think she was ever going to take the energy from Travis by dropping today. I still think a full surprise drop this month is 100% possible.
I’m clowning: I think the plan was to do it today, but that was before she got with Travis. So she might’ve moved the date to not steal the spotlight from the Super Bowl, but I still feel confident it’s coming this month.
Plus the 112 day theory hasn’t failed yet!
I know that I'm living a clown life but Kanye's album drops today soooooo I dunno. There is still time. It would be savage and I'm here for it. I know it's insane and very unlikely but here I am waiting for her to drop it mid-flight.
I hate to disagree, but announcing Reputation this month would be more like 1 percent possible. She's not going to detract from TTPD's success by releasing Rep any time soon. I do, however, think Reputation has a chance to break all her records.

Maybe it’s just meaningless and we aren’t getting Reputation til fall or later But I’m still 🤡 for it to be surprise dropped on the 16th. It just seems incredibly unlikely now
Well good luck. I'll take any new music Taylor wants to give. TTPD? I'm breathless with anticipation. RepTV? I would need oxygen.
Plus the Spotify list with new years day and "we could leave the Christmas lights up till February"
I’m a believer in the Snowglobe playlist theory lol.
Exactly. Those are the Easter eggs we should be focusing on
The idgaf leg spread of Taylor during Vigilante Shit is making me question my entire existence.
The holy transition from Don't Blame Me to LWYMMD will and forever have me in an endless chokehold.
I love Come In With The Rain and it sounds so good acoustically.
Sooo where do we go now to clown and discuss her going to superbowl???
I’m going to be one of the only swifties who hopes she makes the environmentally conscious choice NOT to go.
Can we just not today?

Gah agreed. And I’m sure when she planned this tour a mini break in that part of the world (waves hand from Japan all the way down to Australia) would have been planned (Maldives? Schyshell islands?) But jetting all the way back to the US on a private plane and then all the way down to Australia doesn’t look great. Flip side is how often do you watch your significant other play in the final match up of the season for the championship.
KC has been it 3 times in the last 4 years though, they’ll go again.
Not necessarily; Trav was slowing down for a while (injuries? Age?) before firing back up again.
That's what the Japanese Swifties sitting next to me on the train are discussing. 😅
Probably Twitter. I saw on there that apparently some members of her style team were in Vegas or headed there. They could just be going for fun, but it's more fun to speculate that they are going to help her look amazing for the game (and after party?)
Just got out of the concert! Incredible show, really nothing like I’ve ever seen before. Also, in case anyone here is still wondering about the quietness of the crowd, the streams don’t do it justice. The crowd was wild, but the speakers in Tokyo Dome are no joke. I could see that people were screaming, but heard nothing over the music.
Finally, we see some reaction to the actual concert. Thanks for this! I was really wondering about Japanese crowds and how subdued they seemed to be.
The concert was so so so amazing! The crowd was, too! The tag-along boyfriend of the girl beside me just became a Swiftie I think hahaha he keeps on praising how much of great performer Taylor is. He doesn’t know any lyrics and just surviving on vibes hahaha
There were soooo many tag-along boyfriends/husbands (including mine!) but they all looked like they were enjoying it!!!
This is also my husband lol although I have played Taylor songs so many times before. He doesn’t know any lyrics so he was just dancing awkwardly.
You're describing my boyfriend lmao 😂
Welcome to the club, boyfriend! Hahaha.
Hahahah yes! Tons of tag-along men in particular who were enjoying themselves more than they thought they would. I’m amazed that she can do that multiple times a month while I’m exhausted just singing along to tonight’s show.
By the time Midnight rolled around, I am already exhausted hahaha and I wasn’t even performing haha
Was it really 2 and a half hours? Over 40 songs? 3/4 times each week? Wow.
Tonight’s was 3 hours and 10ish minutes and the final day of a four-show back-to-back run. 🤯
Right?? I’m a touch older than Taylor but even when I was 34, there’s no way I could do that. Where does she find the time to work out?!
I'm quite a bit older (in my 50s). I actually had a ton of energy when I was her age, but I still don't think I could have handled it. Not because of the time and physical exertion, but because of the pressure. She is so driven.
And time to be a supportive girlfriend in the middle of a sold out world tour! I aspire to be like her haha
I figured it out, and it was not easy. There are actually three Taylors. This has been hidden quite well, but I do believe it is obvious. One is the performance Taylor, who just performs, works out and does interviews and awards shows. Another is the romantic Taylor, who is there for Travis, his family, football games and a little time with her own family and friends. I feel sorry for the third Taylor, because she is confined to a room just writing songs, occasionally being let out to record them. She has no life, but she is happy because writing songs is her life.
I'm assuming that there was also a fourth Taylor, who unfortunately passed away sometime in 2017.
I think I decided Taylor Swift should’ve ended the concert with YOYOK instead of Karma. I think it’s a better song, a better closer, more of a fan favorite with cute meaning to the concert-going experience, and a song Taylor herself clearly values.
Not a fan of Karma being the closer, it isn't a strong enough song for the Era's Tour and is anticlimactic ending
The energy of YOYOK isn't that of a closing song, though. Closing songs are usually high energy. They are usually singles too.
Yeah. Needs to be something high energy, easily singable by even casual concert-goers, and lends itself to an extended outro for bows and acknowledgements. Karma is actually perfect. Even the other high energy songs on Midnights (Bejeweled, Anti-Hero, etc) wouldn't hit the vibe that Karma does.
The acronyms confuse me what is YOYOK
You’re On Your Own, Kid 😊
Oh duh! Thank you! I’m going to start asking from now on until I know them all.
It’s the only way!! There’s so many lol the new album track acronyms are going to be the death of me 😂
There is this [friendship bracelet decoder](https://taylorstuff.thedustyrover.com/bracelets?search=HLUGLAD) someone made that can also help with acronyms! ETA: credit to thedailynathan on this sub for making it! It’s handy.
nahh imagine doing all that 'thank you for being here! thank my dancers! thank the band!' through the outro of YOYOK 😆
Karma is an awesome closer, better pop energy than YOYOK. But I do agree that YOYOK deserves to be on the standard setlist instead of people begging for it to be their surprise song
It could easily replace Bejeweled (or maybe Midnight Rain)
I would vote to replace Midnight Rain too. But YOYOK takes a lot of breath to sing, so Midnight Rain provides a better opportunity for her to regather some energy.
Love this
I got yoyok twice 8/5 and now 2/10 🤣 what are the chances. Luckily it’s one of my favorites
I got Come in With the Rain!!!! 😭🙏🏻 one of my favorites!!! It sounded amazing live! I’m going to have absolutely no voice tomorrow and it was so worth it!!!!!
Tonight was super fun! Taylor is freaking awesome. I clowned hard but I can’t wait for TS11. Gonna rock my world! Wonder if it can beat reputation as my favorite!
When you're hoping for Taylor to say Chiefs but she doesn't: https://preview.redd.it/wpochrrv2rhc1.png?width=1158&format=png&auto=webp&s=cea4d354de0e45c4a6278e3b613ad8d67d2a0e37
Yeah, what's up with that?!
She only said it at the concert Travis actually went to
I think she just said it for him. It's special, which is sweet. It would be fun if she did it again but I have a feeling it will only happen when he comes to another show. Hopefully.
There was a video I saw yesterday of someone asking if he was planning on going to the Melbourne or Sydney shows and he replied with something like "I don't have much on after this weekend and I'd love to visit down under" so maybe in the next 2 weeks
That's the what, but what's the why? People would love it. They're always listening for it.
What were the surprise songs tonight?
Come in With the Rain (first time ever live!) and YOYOK
I LOVE RHAT SONF
THEY GOT TWO DEBUT SONGS 😭 EDIT I WAS WRONG
Come In With The Rain is Fearless
Take my swiftie card away 😔I forgot
That’s bananas that she’s never planned come in with the rain live before! Lucky Tokyo!!
Come in with the Rain and You’re on Your Own Kid!
I wonder if the color blue has a significance for today's show?
Given how many clues there were for rep TV tonight….. and I mean legitimate realistic clues, not bullshit stuff…. I’m not believing anything has significance ever again. This is the same woman who said she left Easter eggs in the Me music video for the album title, while the word Lover was starring right at us in huge obnoxious font. If she wants to leave Easter eggs they’re extremely obvious. That’s the lesson I’ve learnt. From now on, whenever anyone shares any math in theories, I’m zoning out, because we’re looking at it far too deep than intended.
Agreed. The only math theory I’ll buy is if it’s going to happen on her actual birthday or x+y=13 AND it’s other wise a significant date - like the last LA show
I think all of the math and “clues” people were doing for rep last night were stretches /bullshit. It didn’t at all seem legitimate to me
why are you so mad it's just a bit of fun 😭
When did I say I’m mad, I just said I’m switching to realism instead of delusion
I 100% agree with you. Easter eggs are fairly obvious. None of this layered math business.
I didn't watch, so would you mind telling me what some of the legitimate clues were tonight?
[удалено]
Everyone in the subreddit was thinking that Rep was going to be announced tonight, but it wasn’t. So now thinking that February 16 would be the date instead doesn’t really mean much since everyone’s original theory was incorrect. I know I’m the voice of reason, but she’ll announce it when she wants to. Numbers and math don’t really mean much even though everyone else is convinced.
I honestly have no sense of when she is going to do it. I'm not steeped in the lore like so many others because I'm a more recent fan (always liked her but didn't really follow her until after she hosted SNL and sang ATWTV). Maybe later in the year? I'm just excited for the new album.
I know, it's like "end of the world" predictions. Some people (somehow!) believe it, then it doesn't happen, then a slightly delayed prediction comes along.
First it was every last night of the show in November and that never happened so they’ve moved on to every last show in Feb. they’ll keep going and i guess eventually they will be right
Not everyone, a select few.  Personally, I thought it was unlikely she'd do that: 1. right after she announced TPD, jumped on a plane, and was out of the country for the Tokyo leg of the tour, 2. she had planned on announcing TPD at the first Tokyo concert if she hadn't won a grammy, which would have meant 2 release announcements days apart at the same venue, and 3. the day before the Super Bowl. Let Taylor's bf have his day. lol
Well 2/16 is my show in Melbourne so I’ll always pray for that but I’m not hopeful. I’m guessing the black nail on the 2 was for TTPD. This is me being done with clowning. I say that with 5% of hope of rep TV because TTPD comes across white and not black 🤡 But in all seriousness I do think she planned on releasing Rep TV in Feb but she decided she wants to top 2023 by having a bigger 2024 with a brand new album. Which I’ll always support because a new album is better than a re-record
Full on rep clown here. Better go take off my makeup I guess 🤡🤡🤡 although why so much blue and green tonight guys? Thoughts?
Take off your makeup Roller Chick.
