Spotify's Gesture to Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift performs onstage for "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona. The tour's new setlist has been turned into a Spotify playlist.
Spotify has honored Taylor Swift and her record-breaking Eras Tour by creating a playlist with songs from its official set list.
Swift is currently on the European leg of her highly lucrative tour, which last year became the first to break the $1 billion barrier.
Following a break after dates in Asia and Australia, Swift restarted the tour in Paris on May 9, where she introduced a new set list to include songs from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD), released on April 19.
Now Spotify has shared the new tour set list, with the playlist containing 44 songs, amounting to approximately three hours. The tracks range from "Cruel Summer" belonging to her Lover album to "Down Bad" from TTPD.
So far, the Eras Tour has been divided into the singer-songwriter's 10 different "eras," each signifying one of her albums. Swift has been known to add surprise songs to each concert, which the playlist doesn't include.
News of the playlist was shared to X, formerly Twitter, by user @thisisvertrying. The account shared a screenshot of the playlist alongside the caption: "you don't see spotify themselves doing this for any other tour."
Newsweek emailed Swift's publicist and Spotify for comment Thursday.
When Swift kicked off the European leg of her tour in Paris she made various changes to the set, including new outfit changes and the addition of seven new tracks from TTPD. These songs are "But Daddy I Love Him," "So High School," "Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?," "Down Bad," "Fortnight (Feat. Post Malone)," "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," and "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart."
To make room for these songs, Swift had to cut others from her already long set list. These include "The Archer," "The Last Great American Dynasty," "The 1," "'Tis the Damn Season," and "Tolerate It."
The singer-songwriter holds a range of records on Spotify, including becoming the first person to have five albums each with over 7 billion streams on the streaming service. In March, she became the first woman to have 10 solo singles get more than 1 billion streams on Spotify and, as of May 2024, she is the most-streamed artist of all time on the platform.
Within hours of TTPD being released the album started smashing streaming records, including becoming Spotify's most-streamed album in one day, with 300 million streams in 24 hours, the provider revealed on its social media.
Swift has had a phenomenal year since she started the Eras Tour in March 2023. It became the highest-grossing live music tour long before it hit the halfway point of its 152 shows worldwide. The tour has seen unprecedented demand and is set to conclude in December 2024.
After completing the European leg of her tour in the middle of August, she will make a few last-minute appearances in American cities including Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis.
She's scheduled to end her tour in Canada, with multiple shows in November and December. The tour is expected to conclude on December 8 in Vancouver, five days before her 35th birthday on December 13.
