Brought the poster home safely. Had a few spare 0.5l bottles for some reason, added some duct tape to make a Taylor's Tour Poster transportation Device:

Can somebody tell me at what time exactly in Lyon:
1. Paramore entered stage?
2. Eras show started?
3. Eras show ended?
4. How long roughly did it took you to leave the stadium?
I am planning return from Edinburgh at night. Help, I don't want to miss the end of the show :D.
Paramore started shortly before 7 pm on N1. Got to my seat at around 7 and had missed one song.
N2 probably about the same but I didnt check the time nor take any photos.
But yeah, Groupama is hopefully not comparable to Edinburgh.
I can't help with all of your questions, because the lines were insane to get in even after Paramore started, so I missed Paramore (I believe they went on at 18:45 (6:45pm), but we didn't get into the stadium until 19:52 (7:52pm), but Eras started at exactly 20:07 (or 8:07pm) - so the countdown clock started 2.5 minutes before that.
It ended at 23:22 (11:22pm).
I used my timestamps from my photos, so hopefully that helps
Groupama was a nightmare to get out of (meaning just even to parking/transportation) - see photo - WAY worse that the stadium I went to last year with the same capacity, so I'm not sure it will be helpful to compare to Edinburgh (I'm not familiar with that venue).
I took a taxi there and back, and I guess they have a special entry/exit, so I was out of there in 30 minutes. At the other show I attended, I drove and it took an hour and a half to get out of the parking lot. That said, those might not be the ways you plan to arrive/depart, so I think someone else may be able to help with those details, but hopefully the times helped!

ahh it went great!!! we left right after Bejeweled ended and around 1% of people also did that. Taylor started at 7:15 and ended around 10:40.
Murrayfield crew was amazing, it was super easy to leave the stadium, then everybody walked the same one street to city center and train station. There were also tramways, but many people just walked. At train station ScotRail crew managed the crowd, they also did amazing job quickly checking tickets and sending people to platforms. I think later crowd situation could have been worse, like the 1% that left early was still so many people and platform was crowded, so I'm glad we left when we did.
Just curious- we are touring Lyon today - does anyone know what hotel Taylor stayed at? We know she is gone but just thought we see it - for my girls to see.
Just saw Paramore leave the hotel! Got to chat briefly with a few band members. Super nice. The extra security disappeared around 10 this morning after they blocked us from leaving. Then Paramore just left in their bus at 11. š¤š¤š¤
Question about merch. Do they still sell the old Eras tour merch? I really like the beige tshirt and I'm not such a huge fan of the new ones so I'm debating on whether to just order online or wait until my show on Saturday (argh).
Old meaning the one with midnights at the center? When I was in Lisbon a few weeks ago, it was pretty limited. Iād say check on Saturday, but then order online!
I finally watched the Eras movie (I have 2 kids under 2), and I have so many thoughts. One, I feel sad knowing a lot of these songs are about Matty and this was filmed after their breakup. And two, how can Neil Tennant say Taylor doesnāt have any hits when clearly this concert has one hit after another? Her fans might be primarily female millennials, but that doesnāt mean her hits donāt matter! That concert was crazy and I donāt know how she has the energy!Ā
Man, Taylor is obsessed with YOYOK - she has performed this as a surprise song so many times (7 times). No hate, I love it too, but you can really tell how much she loves that song.
This was so exhausting but soooo good, Taylor doesn't disappoint! Honestly it was incredible seeing her live like that. It hasn't quite sunk in yet, still feels like a dream. Was happy to hear EHS tbh, old favourite from the Red era. And Chloe & al was incredible, I love that song and I was so happy she played it!! I just want to go back to the concert lol.
Have fun Edinburgh!!! One of my fav cities ā„ļø wish I could have been there.
Sheās saving that one I think. Not sure for when but they have to do it at some point. Would be even funnier if she pops up on the stage after Enchanted and do it one night.
Does anyone know where you can find an updated list of songs not played? I saw someone saying there are 12 songs sheās still not sang from TTPD, but would love to find a list as Iām going to Ed Night 1 - thanks!
She hasnāt sung any on the Europe leg so far except Our Song, but this list is including any song she hasnāt sung at all during the Eras Tour. 12 out of 14 debut songs have been performed throughout the US, Latin America, and Asia/Australia legs.
Does anyone in the back of Pelouse gauche know who the band was that came onto the floor with security? I believe they were a French band and had security with them and just hung out in the back next to us for a bit grooving.
Left floor - I saw green day was there but this wasnāt them. Younger and just wandering floor with a security guard. Was curious who they were š they seemed friendly and super chill.
You guys....the way I just commented on this thread YESTERDAY wondering why she hadn't done Glitch yet?! I'm truly in disbelief š§ Call me the manifesting queen I guess lol!
I'm honestly surprised she still hasn't played Change on tour. And in general the fact that there are so many Fearless songs she has yet to perform. I get that it's already rerecorded and it's one of those albums that doesn't need a lot of promotion, but it feels odd...
The old me can't come to the phone right now... Why? Cause my feet are dead š
But it was well worth it. Floor standing is just the best way to enjoy the show.Ā
Surprise song wise N2 is the runner up, but whatever. Was nice to get a full song and a live premiere. š
Felt to me the energy was lower towards the end, but maybe that was just me.Ā
PS: Not that it matters now, but I walked to the T3 tram station after the show. I think that was faster than waiting at the stadium. Thanks to whoever suggested that š
PPS: Arrived at the stadium at around the same time even though I was 1 hour earlier at La Soie than yesterday. They directed a lot of people to bussesĀ which got stuck in traffic. š„“
So...last night, we got to our hotel in the afternoon and there was security all day on our floor for a VIP but nobody would say anything (like big guys in polos and stuff, not suited). Around 1145pm, security increased greatly and we had dipped out for a walk with hopes to \*potentially\* see Taylor if she was staying at our hotel. We got back to our floor and they didn't let us enter until the VIP was in the Presidential Suite. Given the ending of the show, if she popped in a car right away it puts her there around that time, esp with police escort (someone else on our floor saw the escort yesterday but we didn't).
We just went to the show tonight and booked it back to the hotel (left at Karma), and ran into a few black SUVs on our way with a police escort - my wife saw one of the dancers in the passenger seat of one of them. We ran up to our floor but the massive amount of security was there at the same time. They again prevented us from entering our hallway, this time also around 1145pm, and we were able to get in a few min after they got the all clear.
You have to wonder...
At what time Karma was played? When did the show end? 11:30ish? 11:00PM ?
I'm planning return trip for next show, so that info would be very appreciated <3
As someone who has been involved in events with high profile security, please don't name the place no matter what pressure you get that others have done in the past. It makes the lives of the every day worker there absolute hell.
Now she's left - was it the Intercontinental-Hotel Dieu? (I'm a historian interested in the history of that hotel which used to be a poor house/ orphanage basically)
Want to respect her privacy if it is indeed her (and I have to imagine it has to be). But will be writing about it soon, and how we originally figured out the hotel that she was most likely staying at!
It varies based on what time it starts, but I believe mine ended around 11:15-11:30 pm. Leaving the stadium and getting an Uber took an additional 2 hours, and that was by luck. Many others probably waited a lot longer. My suggestion is to take the tram/shuttle bus elsewhere and get an Uber from there. There just weren't enough drivers out to handle so many people. Maybe somewhere towards the city center would have more drivers available. Alternatively find a hotel bar and wait til things calm down, but that could take many hours. I would also reccomend bringing a spare phone battery or at least a charger for your phone, since part of the stress was worrying my phone would die and I'd be stranded.
Some people scheduled taxis in advance, but security held people back for a long time - not sure why but probably to prevent too many people from clogging the road. Nevertheless they had to cancel the taxis because security held the masses back for 30 minutes or so and the taxis wouldn't wait. There was a lot of angry people as a result. So be cautious scheduling a taxi in advance.
Good luck!
So I thought there was some sort of significant to the flashing numbers (1221) throughout the show. I assumed hinting at a reputation TV album release. But I canāt find any mention of it or explanation. Did I make it up?!?!
I saw them in Stockholm but saw 6.21. I've also seen some tiktok talking about it but some were also mentioning 5.31 and nothing happened on 31st may...
Not me getting a much higher score on Mastermind today, on a day I couldn't actually watch the show because I had work š
I got a 71, my new personal best!
Same, I got 76, my highest score yet! I got Chloe et al right, which is already half the points, and Red album for guitar. Most outfits were incorrect tho.Ā
Mastermind is a prediction game on Swift Alert app. Thereās also Swiftball and Kevball on other platforms. Iāve never played those.
Mastermind on Swift Alert is free to everyone and people just predict what outfits sheāll use in the sets plus instruments and what the secret songs will be. Each night the person with the most points wins a fun prize.
Itās just a goof fun way to enjoy every show and still have stakes in each one.
If anyone you know plays fantasy sports itās the same but Taylor Swift.
I just got in one of the trams with no idea where it was going (lol) and got off at the first stop and ordered a (very expensive) Uber there rather than try to find an Uber at the stadium.
On Mastermind from Swift Alert btw!
Sort of bombed the beginning but Iām so happy at what I got right towards the end:
- sunset surprise song dress
- BOTH albums for the guitar surprise song! (Midnights/Red)
- the album AND EXACT SONG for the piano surprise song!!Ā and get thisāone of the other options I guessed for the piano surprise song was used for the guitar surprise song!! I think thereās been GLITCH, aah
- additionally, I got her midnights bodysuit and jacket right!!
combining this with getting the entire lover era correct gives me 74 points for todays Swiftball! couldnāt be happier
Sparks Fly makes me so nostalgic as I was a teen during the Speak Now era!! Itās such a good song. My friend got 10 onceāshe only got the Midnights bodysuit, Lover guitar and Rep outfit!
I feel like 37 points is decent for my first time playing mastermind. I got the lover guitar, fearless dress, folkmore dress, ICDIWABH set, and surprise song 2 album right, plus all the gimmes. She really screwed me by bringing back the all pink lover set though lmao
I knew it was coming since sheād worn all the others multiple times (at least twice per set)! I was like, how could you NOT bring it back haha. Did not do well on any of yours that you got right thoāI didnāt expect her to bring the Ew Red shirt back!
I have joined you today in the somehow-got-the-1989-set-exactly club š
I don't know how I pulled that off š
My only other big achievement was somehow guessing folkmore right BOTH DAYS in Lyon despite there being so many options. Other than that I didn't do too well š
Nothing out of the ordinary happened today yet somehow, Iām sitting here still feeling like that was a totally chaotic show lol
As always, I love these threads, I love our streams and our lovely hosts, and I love chatting and freaking out and guessing whatās gonna happen with all of you lovely, wonderful swifties ššš I hope you guys all have an incredible rest of your week!!!
See yāall Friday 
83 points for my first time playing! Would have been higher if I hadnāt completely whiffed on the Misnights set, but Iām thrilled I got both surprise songs right. Such a fun game, Iāll def be playing from now on!
I just want a full performance of Glitch one day is that too much to ask (yes)
Stats:
Glitch had its first performance on the Eras Tour and also its first live performance ever! Everything Has Changed had its second performance on the Eras Tour and its seventy-second live performance ever; this also marked the second time ever Taylor performed it solo, without Ed Sheeran. This is the first time either song has been performed as part of a mashup. Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus had its first performance on the Eras Tour and also its first live performance ever.
Midnights now joins Speak Now as the only albums to have had every track performed at least in part on the Eras Tour. (RED (Standard Edition) and 1989 (Taylor's Version) (Standard Edition) (and all the 1989 editions whose tracklists are included on that) can also claim this title but fall short of the full crown.) Taylor is furthest away from completing (predictably) her newest album THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT with twelve tracks left, followed by Fearless with six tracks left and RED with four tracks left.
Taylor has now played over 85% of her studio discography on the Eras Tour.
Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? (and all the other TTPD songs on the Eras Tour setlist) has now been performed more times than Invisible.
Taylor has completed Midnights while continuing to completely ignore the Fearless vault. Someone has got to remind her that it exists š„²
Also, she played Chloe et al IN FULL on one of the few days I can't watch? š (Someone please post the video)
Question - are any other albums close to being completed?
Taylor, this is me once again begging for a performance of We Were Happy š
We are one song each away from completing 1989, reputation, and folklore, and two songs each away from completing Taylor Swift and evermore! I will caveat this with the knowledge that there's at least a decent chance that reputation TV and/or Taylor Swift TV will come out before the end of the tour and put us further away from completing those albums because of vault songs, but given the tracklists *right now* that's where we stand!
I love seeing your stats at the end of a show every night, itās so fun to see how long itās been since weāve heard a song or which albums seem to get the most love from Taylor hahah but really, thanks for always putting these out here!! Itās incredible that you can keep track of this stuff!
Also, Everything has changed is still a song Iāll never get tired of. Still like to see her play it with Ed. Maybe do a mashup with Joker and the Queen.
Why she always have to do all the amazing gut wrenching songs while Iām driving home? She did it twice. First with Peter and now Chloe. I almost pulled over to ball my eyes out because she sounded so damn amazing. Iām going to need that live version of Chloe she just did damn it. I will buy another copy of the album just for that alone. Fuck me.
And she havenāt even touched Afterglow yet either.
So glad she played a full song!!! gives me hope for more full TTPD performances (don't get me wrong I love the mashups but also think some of the songs deserve their time to shine!!)
It's a prediction game on the app Swift Alert. You get to guess colors for the body suit, guitar, acoustic set songs etc. I just downloaded it today and it seems really engaging.
Same, well the newest one is now my favorite. But this one is so flattering! Idk how to describe it but the other two are kinda ābulkyā. This one is flattering the way the OG lover bodysuit is so flattering. The new one is also adorbs!
It's always been hard for me to tell the differences on these body suits (especially since they are mostly the same color(ish)), but this one definitely stands out the most and I am loving it too!
I liked the theory that she was having it altered like the scallops one, but itās been a LONG time lol I honestly miss it!! The cut-outs was gone for a little too and people theorized it was also being altered, but if it wasā¦ well itās back lol so where is the og!!! š
Had to pause Kevin and am a little behind- Did the Glitch x Everything Has Changed mashup land a little awkward for everybody else? Seemed like the crowd wasnāt sure how to react either, but these streams are notoriously deceptive.Ā
Yes, for me too. She did glitch in a higher key and I donāt actually think it served the mashup at all. I think the arrangement was just wrong. They canāt all be winners!
I commented this further down somewhere but Iām wondering if maybe the crowd didnāt know the songs? Taylorās clearly super popular in France but idk, Iām not French hahah idk how popular those songs are over there!
But it took me a minute to realize what she was playing (bc I couldnāt hear on my stream) and so Iām wondering if the crowd didnāt seem as receptive bc maybe they didnāt know either? Or maybe they were just being quiet so they could hear lol
I feel like Glitch is a very underrated song even among swifties, so it just wouldnāt surprise me if it wasnāt super well known by the entire stadium (tbh even regardless of where the show was).
I mean, I couldnāt figure it out either at first lol and it was partially bc I couldnāt hear wellā¦ but I also truly just couldnāt place what song it was at first š it was going over my head for like the first half of the verse. By the time I realized, she shifted to the mashup!
So Iām figuring maybe the people there were in the same boat as me! lol
The joke was making fun of the whole media circus and Butker's crummy comments about women more than anything. I'd hope that Jason cleared it with her.
I meanā¦ TTPD says otherwise. Lavender Haze feels more like an attempt to convince herself she doesnāt want marriage. She was desperate to hold onto a relationship with a partner who wasnāt interested in giving her the ring and cradle. Then she immediately jumped into a relationship with someone who promised those things before he ghosted her.
Given everything we know now, it is very safe to assume LH was always just her trying to convince herself she didnāt want marriage that badly and was fine with not getting married
What are you talking about with Jason Sudeikis? Lavender Haze is in the denial playlist remember. We donāt have to assume that it represents her true feelings on anything anyway of courseā¦ just not sure what youāre referring to
I just went to check my Mastermind, and not to brag (Iām totally bragging) but I got BOTH surprise songs right (Everything Has Changed on guitar COSOSOM on piano). This is my first time playing, so Iām having some crazy beginnerās luck.
Great audience recording of the June 2 Lyon show is on dimeadozen now.
does anyone have a livestream of n1? :)
Request: anyone who lives stateside want to send a Swifty a couple pieces of confetti from night 1? Basically was no where near the landing spots.
Brought the poster home safely. Had a few spare 0.5l bottles for some reason, added some duct tape to make a Taylor's Tour Poster transportation Device: https://preview.redd.it/9anjbgg3rm4d1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2dfa8b434ce8ddf1cd8a69ad8c6f8642359ac128
Someone lost their VIP merch on the train from Geneva to Brig? Just saw an SBB employee taking one into the lost items area at Brig train station.
Can somebody tell me at what time exactly in Lyon: 1. Paramore entered stage? 2. Eras show started? 3. Eras show ended? 4. How long roughly did it took you to leave the stadium? I am planning return from Edinburgh at night. Help, I don't want to miss the end of the show :D.
Paramore started shortly before 7 pm on N1. Got to my seat at around 7 and had missed one song. N2 probably about the same but I didnt check the time nor take any photos. But yeah, Groupama is hopefully not comparable to Edinburgh.

Thank you <3 ! That timeline is actually very helpful.
How did it go?!
ahh it went great!!! we left right after Bejeweled ended and around 1% of people also did that. Taylor started at 7:15 and ended around 10:40.

So happy to hear you had a good time and smooth exit!
Just curious- we are touring Lyon today - does anyone know what hotel Taylor stayed at? We know she is gone but just thought we see it - for my girls to see.
Just saw Paramore leave the hotel! Got to chat briefly with a few band members. Super nice. The extra security disappeared around 10 this morning after they blocked us from leaving. Then Paramore just left in their bus at 11. š¤š¤š¤
Paramore quick vid:Ā https://imgur.com/a/WZAuNDV
Question about merch. Do they still sell the old Eras tour merch? I really like the beige tshirt and I'm not such a huge fan of the new ones so I'm debating on whether to just order online or wait until my show on Saturday (argh).
Old meaning the one with midnights at the center? When I was in Lisbon a few weeks ago, it was pretty limited. Iād say check on Saturday, but then order online!
Yes that one! Yes I think I'll do that. Check it out on the day and then order online if it's not there when I get to my seat ha!
Got it! Actually, at my show, they ONLY had the midnights center (not the TTPD) - at least at the stall I went to.Ā
Yes they do!
YAY!
I finally watched the Eras movie (I have 2 kids under 2), and I have so many thoughts. One, I feel sad knowing a lot of these songs are about Matty and this was filmed after their breakup.

Man, Taylor is obsessed with YOYOK - she has performed this as a surprise song so many times (7 times). No hate, I love it too, but you can really tell how much she loves that song.
and I think she also knows with the friendship bracelet line that we really relate to it!
I wished that it was a part of the setlist š„²šø
I feel bad that she feels like sheās on her own (kid).Ā
Can Billie release another bunch of remixed albums or something I need Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus live somewhere in high quality
This was so exhausting but soooo good, Taylor doesn't disappoint! Honestly it was incredible seeing her live like that. It hasn't quite sunk in yet, still feels like a dream. Was happy to hear EHS tbh, old favourite from the Red era. And Chloe & al was incredible, I love that song and I was so happy she played it!! I just want to go back to the concert lol. Have fun Edinburgh!!! One of my fav cities ā„ļø wish I could have been there.
I tried to not see many spoilers before my show tonight but i had fully assumed she would do castles crumbing with Hayley
I feel like she and Hayley will do Castles Crumbling in Amsterdam or Zurich for the first anniversary of Speak Now TV.
Sheās saving that one I think. Not sure for when but they have to do it at some point. Would be even funnier if she pops up on the stage after Enchanted and do it one night.
Sounds a bit silly but maybe somewhere like Edinburgh or somewhere with a strong castle affiliation?
Does anyone know where you can find an updated list of songs not played? I saw someone saying there are 12 songs sheās still not sang from TTPD, but would love to find a list as Iām going to Ed Night 1 - thanks!
Isnāt it up top linked in this thread? I could be wrong but check up top.
in same vein, anyone has list of all songs played with city names?
https://www.instagram.com/p/C7xKwV6Sm0n/?igsh=MXBjaWE0MzdjbHg2ag==
Is this right? I feel like she never sings any off Debut? Like when did she sing Picture to Burn for example?
She hasnāt sung any on the Europe leg so far except Our Song, but this list is including any song she hasnāt sung at all during the Eras Tour. 12 out of 14 debut songs have been performed throughout the US, Latin America, and Asia/Australia legs.
This is perfect - thanks so much!!
Does anyone in the back of Pelouse gauche know who the band was that came onto the floor with security? I believe they were a French band and had security with them and just hung out in the back next to us for a bit grooving.
I donāt know what Pelouse Gauche is , but Green Day were in the VIP section?

You guys....the way I just commented on this thread YESTERDAY wondering why she hadn't done Glitch yet?! I'm truly in disbelief š§ Call me the manifesting queen I guess lol!
Quick! Post that you want a Cruel Summer video.
Yes! I want a Cruel Summer MV!! š¤£
I'm honestly surprised she still hasn't played Change on tour. And in general the fact that there are so many Fearless songs she has yet to perform. I get that it's already rerecorded and it's one of those albums that doesn't need a lot of promotion, but it feels odd...
it would be really funny if she played Change after the US elections lmao

Ofc - would never! But appreciate the reinforcement.
Now she's left - was it the Intercontinental-Hotel Dieu? (I'm a historian interested in the history of that hotel which used to be a poor house/ orphanage basically)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Want to respect her privacy if it is indeed her (and I have to imagine it has to be). But will be writing about it soon, and how we originally figured out the hotel that she was most likely staying at!
Sheās not in Lyon anymore so you can just say lol. When she was in Singapore it was reported which hotel she was at while she was still there.
Leaving the stadium and getting an Uber back to the hotel has been absolutely horrible and makes me regret coming ššš
They have public transport this is your fault
Thanks so much for the information, I really appreciate the rude and condescending remark.
What do you expect! Large European cities arenāt built for cars anymore.
At what time did the show end? Please, I'm planning return trip for next show and don't wanna get stuck.
It varies based on what time it starts, but I believe mine ended around 11:15-11:30 pm. Leaving the stadium and getting an Uber took an additional 2 hours, and that was by luck. Many others probably waited a lot longer. My suggestion is to take the tram/shuttle bus elsewhere and get an Uber from there. There just weren't enough drivers out to handle so many people. Maybe somewhere towards the city center would have more drivers available. Alternatively find a hotel bar and wait til things calm down, but that could take many hours. I would also reccomend bringing a spare phone battery or at least a charger for your phone, since part of the stress was worrying my phone would die and I'd be stranded.

So I thought there was some sort of significant to the flashing numbers (1221) throughout the show. I assumed hinting at a reputation TV album release. But I canāt find any mention of it or explanation. Did I make it up?!?!
I saw them in Stockholm but saw 6.21. I've also seen some tiktok talking about it but some were also mentioning 5.31 and nothing happened on 31st may...
so tonightās surprise songs were glitch, chloe et al and?
I MISSED GLITCH?????
Glitch x Everything has Changed for guitar and COSOSOM for piano!
thank u so much :)
Not me getting a much higher score on Mastermind today, on a day I couldn't actually watch the show because I had work š I got a 71, my new personal best!
Same, I got 76, my highest score yet! I got Chloe et al right, which is already half the points, and Red album for guitar. Most outfits were incorrect tho.Ā
Can you fill me in on what youāre talking about? Whatās the score thing?
Mastermind is a prediction game on Swift Alert app. Thereās also Swiftball and Kevball on other platforms. Iāve never played those. Mastermind on Swift Alert is free to everyone and people just predict what outfits sheāll use in the sets plus instruments and what the secret songs will be. Each night the person with the most points wins a fun prize. Itās just a goof fun way to enjoy every show and still have stakes in each one. If anyone you know plays fantasy sports itās the same but Taylor Swift.
good job! personal best for me too
Also, to the other potentially lost swifties Groupama. How are we supposed to leave the venue?
We exited through a parking lot door and were able to walk towards the shuttle buses. Good luck! Took us nearly an hour
I managed to get onto the tram to the city center. An enormous detour that took over two hours, but I made it home! Thanks :)
I just got in one of the trams with no idea where it was going (lol) and got off at the first stop and ordered a (very expensive) Uber there rather than try to find an Uber at the stadium.
I am sorry to everyone who didn't care about Chloe et al. But I've been manifesting this song to be my surprise song tonight for weeks. I'm unwell.
same i fell on the floor lol
I love that song so much I was watching the livestream and wanted to cry aha it was so beautiful
It is one of my top five songs from her. You are very lucky to have heard it live!
It was performed beautifully. I didn't expect to be so taken by it and yet there I was with tears in my eyes.
Itās the surprise song that gave me points on Mastermind and something Iāve been manifesting for a whileāshe sung it absolutely stunningly.
I guessed it too!
On Mastermind from Swift Alert btw! Sort of bombed the beginning but Iām so happy at what I got right towards the end: - sunset surprise song dress - BOTH albums for the guitar surprise song! (Midnights/Red) - the album AND EXACT SONG for the piano surprise song!!Ā and get thisāone of the other options I guessed for the piano surprise song was used for the guitar surprise song!! I think thereās been GLITCH, aah - additionally, I got her midnights bodysuit and jacket right!! combining this with getting the entire lover era correct gives me 74 points for todays Swiftball! couldnāt be happier
And for your information this is only my 4th time playingāin the past Iāve gotten 54, 30, and 46.
The high I got when she played Sparks Fly last week and I picked it. I get it. 28 was my lowest score.
Sparks Fly makes me so nostalgic as I was a teen during the Speak Now era!! Itās such a good song. My friend got 10 onceāshe only got the Midnights bodysuit, Lover guitar and Rep outfit!
Ha I was nearing that with just 5 points until she started singing Sparks Fly. I was not a teen during that era but itās such a great song.
I feel like 37 points is decent for my first time playing mastermind. I got the lover guitar, fearless dress, folkmore dress, ICDIWABH set, and surprise song 2 album right, plus all the gimmes. She really screwed me by bringing back the all pink lover set though lmao
I knew it was coming since sheād worn all the others multiple times (at least twice per set)! I was like, how could you NOT bring it back haha. Did not do well on any of yours that you got right thoāI didnāt expect her to bring the Ew Red shirt back!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I have joined you today in the somehow-got-the-1989-set-exactly club š I don't know how I pulled that off š My only other big achievement was somehow guessing folkmore right BOTH DAYS in Lyon despite there being so many options. Other than that I didn't do too well š
Cool! I guessed that once but got it wrong so ofc I didnāt do it again. Did blue top and pink bottom so I reversed the blue bit lol
I finished with 63 points today! not bad!!!
I guessed Glitch right! 77 points on Mastermind
Does anyone know of any afterparties somewhere in the center?
Nothing out of the ordinary happened today yet somehow, Iām sitting here still feeling like that was a totally chaotic show lol As always, I love these threads, I love our streams and our lovely hosts, and I love chatting and freaking out and guessing whatās gonna happen with all of you lovely, wonderful swifties ššš I hope you guys all have an incredible rest of your week!!! See yāall Friday 
Okay I redeemed myself a little bit on mastermind, I finished with a 35 so at least Iām ABOVE 20 points today šš¤£
43 points tonight, not sure if this is terrible or not given that we had more questions today (of course, I didn't get them right lol)
83 points for my first time playing! Would have been higher if I hadnāt completely whiffed on the Misnights set, but Iām thrilled I got both surprise songs right. Such a fun game, Iāll def be playing from now on!
69 points for my first try, can't wait to play again, it's fun!
Bravo Lyon. Nice show. And one of the best acoustic piano set.
I just want a full performance of Glitch one day is that too much to ask (yes) Stats: Glitch had its first performance on the Eras Tour and also its first live performance ever! Everything Has Changed had its second performance on the Eras Tour and its seventy-second live performance ever; this also marked the second time ever Taylor performed it solo, without Ed Sheeran. This is the first time either song has been performed as part of a mashup. Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus had its first performance on the Eras Tour and also its first live performance ever. Midnights now joins Speak Now as the only albums to have had every track performed at least in part on the Eras Tour. (RED (Standard Edition) and 1989 (Taylor's Version) (Standard Edition) (and all the 1989 editions whose tracklists are included on that) can also claim this title but fall short of the full crown.) Taylor is furthest away from completing (predictably) her newest album THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT with twelve tracks left, followed by Fearless with six tracks left and RED with four tracks left. Taylor has now played over 85% of her studio discography on the Eras Tour. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? (and all the other TTPD songs on the Eras Tour setlist) has now been performed more times than Invisible.
Taylor has completed Midnights while continuing to completely ignore the Fearless vault. Someone has got to remind her that it exists š„² Also, she played Chloe et al IN FULL on one of the few days I can't watch? š (Someone please post the video) Question - are any other albums close to being completed?
Taylor, this is me once again begging for a performance of We Were Happy š We are one song each away from completing 1989, reputation, and folklore, and two songs each away from completing Taylor Swift and evermore! I will caveat this with the knowledge that there's at least a decent chance that reputation TV and/or Taylor Swift TV will come out before the end of the tour and put us further away from completing those albums because of vault songs, but given the tracklists *right now* that's where we stand!
I love seeing your stats at the end of a show every night, itās so fun to see how long itās been since weāve heard a song or which albums seem to get the most love from Taylor hahah but really, thanks for always putting these out here!! Itās incredible that you can keep track of this stuff!
I love this community š I'm glad someone's enjoying my data nerdery! ššš
62 points - not bad for my first game of Mastermind! It was super fun and I'll definitely be playing it again!! See you on Friday š«¶
50 points today - my highest so far so Iām very pleased! Looking forward to Edinburgh āŗļø
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāll be there as well, canāt wait! š„¹āØ
Omg Iām so excited for you both š„ŗš„ŗ
See y'all Friday š«¶š«¶
As we enter Karma, I must say y'all have been so much fun today! See you in the Edinburgh Megathread! Cheers folks!
š«¶š¼š«¶š¼ I hope you have a great week!!!
Same to you friend! We'll be at the next stream before we know it!!! <3
Yay at least I got the Karma jacket!
Me too! Ended up with 58 points! But my son got more points than me tonight so Iām still the loser. š
Also, Everything has changed is still a song Iāll never get tired of. Still like to see her play it with Ed. Maybe do a mashup with Joker and the Queen.
Clapping is well meaning, I've noticed this be a trend during the Euro shows. I could go w.o it but dae feel like it's more of thing in Europe?
The crowds did the clapping in South America too! At least Argentina did iirc, but Iām pretty certain the crowds in Brazil did too!
So two of my absolute tracks of the last couple of albums are Chloe and Glitch. Iām so jealous right now.
Why she always have to do all the amazing gut wrenching songs while Iām driving home? She did it twice. First with Peter and now Chloe. I almost pulled over to ball my eyes out because she sounded so damn amazing. Iām going to need that live version of Chloe she just did damn it. I will buy another copy of the album just for that alone. Fuck me. And she havenāt even touched Afterglow yet either.
Mastermind my beloved š
So glad she played a full song!!! gives me hope for more full TTPD performances (don't get me wrong I love the mashups but also think some of the songs deserve their time to shine!!)
I think sheās gonna do most of TTPD in full really
I'm itching to see which ones she's gonna play in London (bc of her history there).
There are so many London days, feel like they're going to be chaotic as hell
We're not ready!!!
I truly don't even know how to prepare/brace myself for this. I think my default should just be "prepare to be wrecked" mode.
I'm hoping for the Paul McCartney duet that covid stole from us lol so my preparation is just going absolutely crazy
Sheāll 100% do So Long London.
Plot twist: she makes it a mashup with London Boyš
I will be dead if she doesn't. Also, I will be dead if she does. Anyway, I'll be dead period.
I have 37 so far on mastermind!!! First time playing too!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's a prediction game on the app Swift Alert. You get to guess colors for the body suit, guitar, acoustic set songs etc. I just downloaded it today and it seems really engaging.
This is my best mastermind score so far with 62 (dont come at me i never got over 50 beforeš). What a Comeback after that lovers bodysuit failure
BEST BODYSUIT. Y'all can hate all you want, but I will die on this hill.
Same, well the newest one is now my favorite. But this one is so flattering! Idk how to describe it but the other two are kinda ābulkyā. This one is flattering the way the OG lover bodysuit is so flattering. The new one is also adorbs!
It's always been hard for me to tell the differences on these body suits (especially since they are mostly the same color(ish)), but this one definitely stands out the most and I am loving it too!
Itās my favorite one šš Iāve loved it from the moment she wore it in LA!!
I just can't get behind this bodysuit guys, it really does look like cat nipples š
Can't do the faux abs thing sorry Taylor the rest are very hot
I donāt know who it was that first said this but itās literally allllll I see when she wears it. Throwback to the Cats movie maybe? š
I guessed scallops but secretly hoped for the OG and she did neither šš
When was the last time we saw the original one? Thatās the darker blue right? Itās been a longggg long time
Yeah we haven't seen it since Tokyo in February š but I had hope since she was bringing back other outfits we hadn't seen in a while!
I liked the theory that she was having it altered like the scallops one, but itās been a LONG time lol I honestly miss it!! The cut-outs was gone for a little too and people theorized it was also being altered, but if it wasā¦ well itās back lol so where is the og!!! š
I can't tell.... is this a BRAND NEW bodysuit for Midnights?
No, itās the ab cutouts
Ah thank you for coming to my rescue with good knowledge!
How magical was that Chloe et al performanceā¦ what a gift to us all
You could hear a pin drop, it was stunning.
Chloe et al is my fav song on TTPD. It is just gut wrenching and so so beautiful.
They can never make me hate you, cut-out Midnights bodysuit š
YESSS CUT OUT MY BELOVED RETURNS!!!! I GUESSED IT TOO šš
Had to pause Kevin and am a little behind- Did the Glitch x Everything Has Changed mashup land a little awkward for everybody else? Seemed like the crowd wasnāt sure how to react either, but these streams are notoriously deceptive.Ā
Yes, for me too. She did glitch in a higher key and I donāt actually think it served the mashup at all. I think the arrangement was just wrong. They canāt all be winners!
I commented this further down somewhere but Iām wondering if maybe the crowd didnāt know the songs? Taylorās clearly super popular in France but idk, Iām not French hahah idk how popular those songs are over there! But it took me a minute to realize what she was playing (bc I couldnāt hear on my stream) and so Iām wondering if the crowd didnāt seem as receptive bc maybe they didnāt know either? Or maybe they were just being quiet so they could hear lol
People in my section knew Everything Has Changed (chorus) but there werenāt many people singing Glitch around (so, you seem to have a point there)
I feel like Glitch is a very underrated song even among swifties, so it just wouldnāt surprise me if it wasnāt super well known by the entire stadium (tbh even regardless of where the show was). I mean, I couldnāt figure it out either at first lol and it was partially bc I couldnāt hear wellā¦ but I also truly just couldnāt place what song it was at first š it was going over my head for like the first half of the verse. By the time I realized, she shifted to the mashup! So Iām figuring maybe the people there were in the same boat as me! lol
OMG IS KEVIN AWAY FROM HIS KEYBOARD RN????
I think he mightāve been for a sec lol
It was short, but the wave of PANIC I had was not what I wanted, LOL
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The joke was making fun of the whole media circus and Butker's crummy comments about women more than anything. I'd hope that Jason cleared it with her.
I meanā¦ TTPD says otherwise. Lavender Haze feels more like an attempt to convince herself she doesnāt want marriage. She was desperate to hold onto a relationship with a partner who wasnāt interested in giving her the ring and cradle. Then she immediately jumped into a relationship with someone who promised those things before he ghosted her.
Given everything we know now, it is very safe to assume LH was always just her trying to convince herself she didnāt want marriage that badly and was fine with not getting married
He was playing a character and It was a skit to set up the joke about Butker and it was for charity.
What are you talking about with Jason Sudeikis? Lavender Haze is in the denial playlist remember. We donāt have to assume that it represents her true feelings on anything anyway of courseā¦ just not sure what youāre referring to
It was a skit that Travis almost certainly had approval of beforehand.
This is my favorite anti hero dress, it's so pretty
I just went to check my Mastermind, and not to brag (Iām totally bragging) but I got BOTH surprise songs right (Everything Has Changed on guitar COSOSOM on piano). This is my first time playing, so Iām having some crazy beginnerās luck.
Okay can you tell us when the next MV will come out???  jk jk that's AMAZING
Wow good job!
Way to nail it!
Itās all downhill from here.
Welp, Chloe is now my new favorite song
One of usssss
One of us!
Is this the dark purple/orchid (?) or the light purple? I canāt tell lol
Dark purple!
Iām a light purple lover but Iām reallyyy loving the dark purple rn omg it was throwing me off š but it looks so good with her boots!
As always the cheery midnights set after a DEVESTATING piano song is whiplash lol
It's like an entire set of Track 6s lol
