Taylor Swift Adds ‘The 1’ to Setlist, Plus More New Moments as Eras Tour Arrives in Texas (2024)

• Self-Titled Debut Skipped on Night 1

  One of the notable changes in Swift’s evolving Eras Tour setlist on Friday was the omission of songs from Taylor Swift on night 1 in Arlington. In the opening night of each of the previous weekends so far, one song from her self-titled project made it into the acoustic portion of her show. The first night in Glendale, she played her debut single “Tim McGraw,” and night 1 in Las Vegas, she played crowd favorite “Our Song.”

• Three Songs Get Their Eras Tour Debut

  After playing “The 1” — a swap-out for her usual Folklore opener “Invisible String” — Swift admitted, “You know, I’ve never played that song live before,” making its performance both a debut on the Eras Tour setlist and a live debut in general.

  She also worked in “Sad Beautiful Tragic” from Red to the setlist during her acoustic portion. Strumming it on just an acoustic guitar, she introduced the song saying, “I love this one. When I love a song, I don’t care what anyone says.”

  To follow it up, Swift moved over to an upright piano at the end of the stage and began playing “Ours” from Speak Now. Another surprise for fans: “Ours” became the second Speak Now cut to make it onto the setlist, the first being “Enchanted,” which has been played every night of the tour so far.

• MUNA Joins as an Opening Act

  Los Angeles-based trio MUNA joined the Eras Tour on Friday for their first performance, following fellow opener GAYLE. Comprised of Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin and Naomi McPherson, the Saddest Factory-signed band made full use of the stage, parading up and down the catwalk while performing a number of songs from their 2022 self-titled album. “They’re all over every playlist of mine,” Swift said of MUNA in a break after singing “Lover.” “They absolutely killed it.”

• Swift Says to Expect the Unexpected

  After surprising the crowd with her first-ever performance of “The 1,” Swift grabbed the mic, smiling as she teased her fans: “You think you can just scroll the setlist? You think you can just come prepared? Let it be said about The Eras Tour … there’s high jinks.” The taunt may not just be a reference to the Arlington set and could be an overall message for the rest of the U.S. stadium tour.
