The surprise songs

On her "Eras" tour, Swift typically sings two pop-up acoustic or piano-backed songs otherwise not in the setlist. On Saturday, her unannounced additions included:

  • "Out of the Woods," a single from her nostalgic 2014 pop album "1989."
  • "Fifteen," a track from 2008 album "Fearless" that she dedicated to longtime Nashville friend Abigail Anderson Berard, who attended Saturday night's show.

On Friday, surprise songs included 2010's "Sparks Fly" — to commemorate her confirming the upcoming release of re-recorded album "Speak Now (Taylor's Versions)" — and "Teardrops On My Guitar," a fan-favorite from her self-titled debut release.

In addition to surprise songs, Swift reprised her 2021 collaboration "Nothing New" with tour opener Phoebe Bridgers. The two singer-songwriters debuted the performance Friday in Nashville.
