Each performance on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has an identical routine, except for a specific section: the acoustic set.
At each show, Swift performs an acoustic set dedicated to her songs that didn’t make the setlist. The songs are always a surprise for the crowd and are never repeated. Here is every surprise song played throughout the weekend of the Eras Tour in New Orleans:
Friday, Oct. 25
“Our Song” and “Call It What You Want”
Swift took a trip down memory lane to reminisce on her country roots. She paid tribute to her and Louisiana’s shared love for country music by playing “Our Song” off her debut country album “Taylor Swift.” She combined it with “Call it What You Want” off “Reputation.”
“I’ve been touring in Louisiana since I was like 15 years old,” Swift said on stage. “You guys have been so supportive, and I’m really proud of having come from country music, so I thought we might like to begin at the beginning.”
“The Black Dog” and “Haunted”
The second half of the surprise song set on night one was played on the piano. Taylor played a mashup of “The Black Dog” off her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department” and “Haunted” off her 2010 album “Speak Now.”

“Espresso,” “Please Please Please” and “Is It Over Now?”
Fans know that surprise is the goal of the acoustic set, yet Swift still managed to shock fans on night two in New Orleans.
After a short and sweet phone call, Carpenter took the stage, joining Swift. The two then sang “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” another hit off the latest album by Carpenter. Carpenter’s two songs were interpolated with “Is It Over Now?” from the “1989” vault.
“Welcome to New York” and “Hits Different”
Alone on the piano, Swift performed “Welcome to New York” off “1989” and “Hits Different” from “Midnights” combined into a flawless, single song.
Sunday, Oct. 27
“Afterglow” and “Dress”
After an impressive outfit change, Swift started with only a few seconds of “Afterglow” off her album “Lover” and blended “Dress” off her “Reputation” album.
“How You Get The Girl” and “Clean”
On the night of the 10th anniversary of “1989,” Swift went to the piano to celebrate the birthday with a combination of two deep cuts from the album. “How You Get the Girl” and “Clean” were the fan favorites on display during this portion.
