Major Hit: The Eras Tour in France has completely changed unexpectedly, Taylor Swift brought ‘TTPD’ to the stage and stirred up Paris La Defense Arena with nearly 40,000 attendees

A new era has entered the chat.

Taylor Swift performed her first show since the release of her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” May 9 in Paris, and audiences were met with a surprise: a revamped setlist.

Each concert in the record-breaking “Eras Tour,” which kicked off March 17, 2023, in Arizona, has typically run for three hours and 15 minutes. The standard setlist was made up of songs from each of Swift’s albums except her 2006 debut.

But at her first Paris show of the tour, Swift introduced a new “era” to represent her latest album.

The tour intro, featuring purple and pink waving pieces of fabric, notably features a medley of Swift singing the names of her albums, before kicking off her first song, “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince.”

On May 9, the concert opening featured a new black-and-white onscreen background, the addition of a choral “The Tortured Poets Department” and a new orange and red bodysuit, foreshadowing several notable costume changes to come.
