Good morning

Good evening

"There's nowhere quite like Paris and it's amazing to watch our guests light up when they see bucket list icons like the Eiffel Tower in real life. Don't forget to slow down and savour the freshly baked pastries from the local boulangerie and mingle with the locals in the sidewalk cafés and markets."

Travel Director

See the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo at the Louvre

You can’t take a Paris trip without visiting the Louvre. It’s the both the largest art museum and the most-visited museum in the world, and you can soak it all in with our special evening experience at the Louvre. You’ll discover masterpieces like the Mona Lisa with your Local Specialist and enjoy the quiet atmosphere without the crowds. Simply magical.

Visit the remarkable church of Saint-Sulpice

Paris is full of spectacular architecture, and the church of Saint-Sulpice may be one of the best. This medieval cathedral is the second-largest church in the city and your Paris travel guide will show you around the stunning facades, stained glass windows, impressive fountains, unique sundial, and the breathtaking organ, one of the largest in the world.

Enjoy a leisurely cruise along the River Seine

As the scenic centrepiece of Paris, you can’t miss exploring the iconic River Seine. We’ll wander along the pretty riverbank by day and take you on a special Seine cruise by night, when the City of Light is illuminated in twinkling lights. Look out for icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Notre Dame, and relax as you drift along this enchanting river.

Explore the Latin Quarter of Paris

When you travel Paris with Trafalgar, you’ll join a Local Specialist to discover the Latin Quarter, the city’s epicentre of culture, learning and creativity. See the ancient Sorbonne University, one of the world’s first universities, soak up the vibrant atmosphere of this student hotspot, and perhaps even stop by the legendary Shakespeare and Co bookstore.

Experience a traditional Parisian Cabaret

You’ve probably seen the Parisian Cabaret in dozens of movies and photos, but there’s nothing quite like experiencing the real thing. We’ll take you to the world-famous Moulin Rouge Cabaret, where you’ll enjoy dinner, champagne and a dazzling show of 60 dancers and over 1,000 costumes, for an incredible evening you’ll never forget.

Our top 5 things to do in Paris

With so many incredible Paris attractions to choose from, we’ll show you the very best things to do in Paris, from the beautiful Saint-Sulpice to the original Parisian cabaret.

Musée Rodin

Located just steps away from the Eiffel Tower, you can’t miss the spectacular Musée Rodin. Founded in 1916 by Auguste Rodin himself, the museum features the artist’s incredible sculptures within an 18th-century rocco mansion and a stunning three-hectare garden, along with his personal collection of paintings, photographs and ancient artefacts.

Paris Opera & Palais Garnier

If you want to experience the height of Parisian opulence, it’s got to be the Palais Garnier. This extraordinary building is a 1,979-seat opera house constructed in the late 19th-century, and is renowned as the setting for The Phantom of the Opera. Today you can discover its magnificent treasures or even spend a glitzy night at the opera or ballet.

Grand Palais

Located right across from the Champs-Élysées, the Grand Palais is an icon of Paris with its giant glass ceiling and Beaux-Arts style architecture. Its interior is even more thrilling, with national art galleries, science museums and exhibition halls all held under the famous dome, and you can easily spend a day or two here.

Best museums in Paris

When you travel Paris with Trafalgar, we’ll make sure you get your fill of the best Paris museums, from the iconic Louvre to the magnificent Opéra Garnier.

Ratatouille

Ratatouille is the ultimate French vegetarian dish, loved by all for its heartwarming local flavors. It’s essentially a vegetable stew, made with a rich tomato sauce and a rainbow of veggies like zucchini, eggplant and squash, and herbs like basil, garlic and thyme. One bite and you’ll fall in love with the home-cooked ratatouille of Paris.

One of France’s most famous recipes, Coq au Vin features wine-braised chicken served alongside ingredients like mushrooms and bacon. Across the country you will try many regional versions of this comforting dish, which translates fittingly to “rooster/cock with wine”.

French cuisine celebrates both savory and sweet ingredients, not just in the form of croissants. Find true street-food joy in the popular dessert of crêpes, with strawberries, Nutella, bananas and lemon curd just some of the toppings loved by locals and travelers alike. Or, try the national specialty crêpes Suzette with orange zest and caramelized butter.

Best food in Paris

Our Paris holidays are filled with the legendary Parisian cuisine, and we’ll show you all the best places to try your French favorites from fresh croissants to delicate desserts.

What to pack for Paris

French phrasebook

It’s a good idea to learn some common French phrases before arriving in Paris, and the locals are sure to appreciate your efforts to learn their mother tongue.

Camera & extra SD card

Paris is full of soul-stirring moments you’ll want to capture forever, so be sure to pack a few extra SD cards for all those special snaps and videos.

Comfortable shoes

Whether you’re wandering through the Louvre, or strolling along the River Seine, you’ll need a comfy pair of shoes on your Paris tour.

Formal wear

If you want to hit the town in Paris with a Moulin Rouge show or a night at the opera, be sure to bring a glamorous outfit to fit in with the chic locals.

All-weather clothing

Paris is known for its unpredictable weather, with rain one day and sunshine the next. It’s best to pack both warm and cooler layers so you’re prepared for everything.

The guide Sirene was excellent during Versailles Tour! Everyday we had a different guide. Everything scheduled went off without a hitch.

• Coach / Bus

Paris and London

Our guide was hard to understand. She left us in a location when we weren’t even late to the bus, yet would often leave us waiting on the bus while she searched for other people. Not sure how you qualify for the special treatment instead of being left in a foreign city. In addition, I had my 72-year-old mother with me. The guide always took off without waiting for everyone to get off the bus, leaving the rest of us scrambling to keep up. The transport service to the hotel in Paris was substandard. Even after I kept in constant touch with him, the driver left us because immigration took too long. Another driver was found but left us waiting while he searched the airport for other people. Once in the van, he was texting on his phone the entire time, which made us nervous. The Hilton in Paris was wonderful. The Novotel was also nice but the Ibis hotels were substandard, especially the one in Rouen. The transport from the hotel to Heathrow was wonderful.

Paris, Lourdes and Barcelona

The tour was wonderful ! It accomplished all our expectations. Everything occurred according with the plan. Transfer, hotels , activities, drivers and guides were the best! Thank you! We really recommend Europamundo and tour radar for everyone! The only thing that we could not get was the access to Eiffel tour for security reasons. Sorry for the 3 hours that we had to wait????

Paris , Oh La La! | 5 Days

I was very pleased with all aspects of my trip ie. hotel, tour guides and transportation provides for the excursions as well as my driver to the airport on my date of departure. My only compliant is with the transportation from the airport on the date of my arrival since he left because I wasn’t able to make it to the arrival lounge within an hour for meetup because of the time it took from departing the plane, going through customs and waiting on my baggage. The driver did try to contact me but it was over WhatsApp and do t receive notifications since I rarely if ever use that app and Eskapas didn’t let me know to expect communications through that app. Other than the initial dissatisfaction with that and having to get other transportation as well as an added expense for an Uber I was very satisfied with the rest of the experience.

La Belle France: Paris, Normandy and the River Seine (Paris - Paris)

Cruise was great. The crew were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. The tours were well planned, and even though there were a few technical problems, the staff worked very hard to make things go as smoothly as possible.

What people love about Paris Tours

It was a really good experience. This is my second trip with Eskapas. The first one was a small group tour fully escorted in Italy and it was wonderful. This trip is independent and you are joining at the meeting point to daily group ours. If you have send of orientation, it may be difficult so I recommend yo to take a taxi to reach out to the meeting points. Usually it costs 15-20Euro. The company upgraded our hotel to New Hotel Le Voltaire 4* ,, located in 11th Arrondissement, close to Bastille. It is a correct one, decent breakfast. Don't miss Cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise which is close proximity.

It was a very comfortable and enjoyable cruise. The service staff were very friendly and attentive. The fellow passengers were very friendly and sociable which makes the whole cruise line one big happy family.

Everything about this tour was excellent. The planned trips, the optional trips, the airport transfers, the guides were all top notch. We packed a lot into a week yet, had enough free time. Everything was well planned and kept to schedule. Bruno, our tour guide was charming and informative and kept us on track. Marco our coach drive was a safe and skilled driver. The specialist guides for certain excursions were topnotch. Bruno coordinated all the guides, driver, and venue hosts with efficiency. It was a trip of my dreams for my granddaughter and myself!

Paris is going electric — for a new perspective on the city, take a low-carbon car tour

With its sights set on banning fossil fuel cars by 2030, Paris is embracing electric vehicles — and you can take one for a spin around the capital’s landmarks.

Vintage cars, with vintage engines, typically have a lot to say: they grumble around corners, groan up hills and continue to mutter to themselves even when they’ve come to a stop. But this one isn’t like the others. The white-and-blue Renault 4L, which rolled off the factory floor in 1955, should be as talkative as the rest of her kind. Yet, all I can hear as we stop at a red light between the honey-coloured apartments of the 8th arrondissement are wafts of French radio, blowing in through the sunroof on the breeze.

From the back seat, it’s hard to tell exactly where it’s coming from — beyond one of the cast iron balconies on either side, perhaps, or the next car over, where a blonde woman is cradling a miniature poodle on her lap.The light turns green, and the little Renault sparks into life. The engine sounds like a spaceship powering up— there’s an electrical whirring that grows increasingly high pitched. And then we’re away, speeding over the cobbles.   “She’s surprisingly powerful,” driver Renaud Garza calls back with a chuckle from beneath his navy chauffeur’s cap. “With the battery, I can drive at around 75mph.”

Increasingly, the streets of Paris are going electric. Like our Renault 4L, battery-powered cars have become a more popular sight over the last decade — together with a burgeoning herd of e-buses, bikes and even unicycles. It’s all part of the city’s plans to outlaw all but electric vehicles by 2030 in preparation for becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Officials have run incentives to boost the use of e-vehicles over recent years, such as the €100 (£85) per month leasing scheme that had to be phased out early due to the vigorous uptake. Infrastructure is being upgraded, too, with charging points appearing around Paris at increasingly regular intervals and a trial electrified motorway, which can charge cars as they drive, under construction nearby.

Renaud typically drives a fleet of petrol Citroën 2CVs between Paris’s blockbuster sights for his tour company 4 Roues Sous 1 Parapluie. But over the past few years, they have added an electric version alongside the Renault 4L. Both have retrofitted, specially designed batteries.

“Get ready — I’m about to drive in the most dangerous place in Paris,” Renaud calls from the front seat as we approach the Arc de Triomphe, the sound of sirens growing steadily louder as the traffic thickens. Here, 12 major roads, including the Champs-Élysées, converge into a vast, eight-lane roundabout with the alabaster arch at its heart, vehicles endlessly circling like planets around the sun.As we’re pulled into orbit, the little Renault judders across the cobblestones, rattling on a circuitous trajectory past uniformed gendarmes posing for photos and the arch’s intricate friezes. “The French invented the roundabout,” says Renaud with a proud nod. The Etoile, as this one is known, is the proud maman of them all.

We turn right down a shaded thoroughfare lined with plane trees, past cafes heaving with suited workers lunching beneath gold parasols, and bump across a bridge over the Seine to see our next stop piercing the sky. “The Eiffel Tower was built as the centrepiece for the 1889 World’s Fair,” Renaud explains as we draw closer to one of its broad, latticed feet. “Parisians didn’t like it at the time — they’d just finished their city with all of this nice stone and then this popped up. It was ugly, too industrial. But it was useful as a radio tower, so they kept it.” Soon, we’re close enough to see its ornate ironwork and the mechanics of the lift, the cogs slowly rotating. The garden around it is closed, in the process of being preened in preparation for its starring role in the Olympics’ opening ceremony — athletes will travel on boats for six miles down the Seine before coming to a stop here. It’s been 100 years since Paris last hosted the Olympics in 1924, and the tower is being repainted gold — closer to the colour Gustave Eiffel originally chose — to mark the occasion.

“The French are quite proud, it’s true,” Renaud says as we do another lap. “We want to impress the world.”

What time will taylor swift's eras tour paris concert start here's the answer, share this article.

That’s right, it’s Eras Tour time again for Taylor Swift fans with a stop in Paris.

She’s back on the road for more of the international leg of the tour that’s made stops in Asia and Australia as of late, and while we’re not sure about whether her boyfriend Travis Kelce will be there or not, we know some things: who her opening act is and what time the concert in France.

We’re going to use East Coast time here — it’s six hours ahead in Paris. So it’s supposed to start at 6:30 p.m. Paris time, which means it’ll be 12:30 p.m. East Coast time.

There you have it!

Taylor Swift made big changes to Eras Tour. What to know about set list, 'Tortured Poets'

PARIS, France — Who's afraid of little old Taylor Swift adding an additional set to her already extensive Eras Tour setlist ? The singer revivified her magnum opus in La Défense Arena adding seven songs from "The Tortured Poets Department."

Swift rearranged the majority of the show, leaving only the "Lover," "Fearless" and "Midnights" eras in their original spots. "Folklore" and "Evermore" joined forces in one eight-song set. Swift also debuted several new outfits and cut some songs from the set list.

Toward the end of her show, Swift officially launched the long-awaited “The Tortured Poets Department” section of the tour after the 1989 era.

Live from Paris: Taylor Swift's Eras Tour begins again in France

Swift performed the track “But Daddy I Love Him” off the April 19 album for her ecstatic fans while wearing a new beige dress with cursive letters.

A road spiraled down the catwalk in an animation to initiate the era. The background animation showed a deserted road while large cages animated and fell on the road.

“Oh my god you should see your faces,” she sang.

She quickly segwayed into a brief moment of “So High School,” the beloved track speculated to be about her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. She then performed the powerhouse anthem “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me.”

Swift switched to “Down Bad” before seamlessly transitioning into the lead single “Fortnight.” Stage production recreated an asylum that resembled the music video for the song with Post Malone, whose recorded harmony played concluding the song.

Dancers entered the stage in a marching band style format playing drums as she performed the wrath-fueled song “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Dancers Jan Ravnik and Kameron Saunders then revived Swift in a jazzy skit to set up “I Can Do With A Broken Heart,” where she debuted another new outfit.

“The End” text displayed wrapping up the era that’s likely here to stay. Other beloved tracks like “Guilty As Sin” and “Florida!” did not make the cut.

At the start of the secret set, Swift described the "Tortured Poets" set as "Female Rage: The Musical." Fans then got to hear another song from the new album as she played heartbreaking ballad "loml" on the piano as part of her acoustic set.

Set list: Taylor Swift unveils new Eras Tour in Paris with 'Tortured Poets' tracks

'The Tortured Poets Department' songs added to set list

Swift added these seven new songs from "Tortured Poets" to her set list:

• "But Daddy I Love Him"
• "So High School"
• "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me"
• "Fortnight"
• "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived"
• "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart"

The eras in a new order

Swift switched up the order of her eras in the set list. Here's how the new show proceeds:

• "Speak Now"
• "Reputation"
• "Folklore" and "Evermore" combined
• "The Tortured Poets Department"
• Acoustic set of rotating, secret songs
• "Midnights"

Check out the entire new set list here .

Songs cut from the Eras Tour set list

Swift gave a preview of the songs cut from her show in the first release of her Eras Tour movie. To be fair, she incorporated opening act Paramore during the "Speak Now" set to sing "Castles Crumbling" after "Enchanted."

• "Lover": "The Archer"
• "Evermore": "'Tis the Damn Season" and "Tolerate It"
• "Speak Now": "Long Live"
• "Folklore": "The 1" and "The Last Great American Dynasty"

The tortured poet debuted the new set in front of 40,000-plus fans at La Défense Arena in Paris.

Here's Every Song Cut From Taylor Swift's New Eras Tour Setlist - And Every Song She Added

M uch like Jigsaw in the "Saw" franchise, Taylor Swift delights in playing games with her fans. A new puzzle started on Thursday in Paris, where Swift launched the European leg of her blockbuster Eras Tour . It was the first concert of hers to take place after the release of her secret double album "The Tortured Poets Department," and as many fans suspected, Swift has significantly changed the Eras Tour setlist from the one that took the U.S. by storm last year.

For one, the order of the entire show is different. Swift moved around the eras to change the flow of the show, and she did indeed add a section in which she performs seven songs from "The Tortured Poets Department."

There are also new outfits, new transitions, new graphics and Swift even combined two eras -- "folklore" and "evermore" -- into one. But for those who keep track of the setlist on their own, here's what's different from a song standpoint.

All the Songs Cut From the Eras Tour

"The Archer" from "Lover"

"Long Live" from "Speak Now"

Taylor Swift Officially Adds ‘TTPD’ Songs to Setlist as She Returns to Eras Tour Stage in Paris

The Tortured Poets Department officially has a spot on the Eras tour setlist! Taylor Swift returned to the stage in Paris on Thursday, May 9, and added some tracks from her 11th album to the show.

The first song in the  TTPD set was “But Daddy I Love Him,” which was followed by “So High School.” Next up came, “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” and “Down Bad,” which was mashed up with “Fortnight” before transitioning into the full first single. She then slowed things down with a rendition of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” There was then an onstage outfit change before she sang “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” and then the set ended.

Before the TTPD set, Taylor, 34, made several changes to the setlist to account for the new additions. In the  Lover set, she cut the song “The Archer,” while also debuting a brand new orange bodysuit and sparkly blazer. The  Fearless set stayed the same, although it included a new black and gold dress. Rather than segueing into the  Evermore set after  Fearless , the singer skipped ahead to the  Red era, which kept the same songs, but also featured some new costumes.

The  Speak Now era came next, along with a completely revamped introduction and dress. She also cut “Long Live” from the set after previously adding it following the release of  Speak Now (Taylor’s Version ) in July 2023. Reputation followed Speak Now , keeping its original outfit and song choices from the first leg of the tour.

Following  Reputation , there was a new transition into  Folklore , where she rocked a new yellow dress and started the set with “Cardigan,” which used to be toward the end of the segment. However, Taylor revealed that the  Folklore set was actually being combined with  Evermore , as she went on to switch back-and-forth between both albums. Unfortunately, this meant a lot of songs were cut from the sister albums: “‘Tis the Damn Season,” “The Last Great American Dynasty,” “The 1,” and “Tolerate It” all didn’t make the cut.

As usual,  Folklore transitioned into  1989 , where Taylor wore a mismatched skirt and top for the first time. All of the songs remained the same.

Taylor released TTPD on April 19 while the Eras tour was on a two-month break. However, fans began speculating that some of the tracks would make their way onto the show’s setlist after the pop star posted behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage on YouTube on April 25. In the clips, Taylor appeared to be using a microphone that she doesn’t normally use during the concert. Some fans also thought they spotted a TTPD logo in the background of one video, while other footage showed dancers using never-before-seen props.

The Eras tour began in March 2023 with a United States leg that lasted throughout the summer. Taylor then traveled for international shows in August 2023 and November 2023, as well as throughout February and the beginning of March. The four Paris shows are the kickoff to the tour’s European leg, which concludes on August 20 in London.

In October and the beginning of November, the pop star has a string of shows in Miami, Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Indianapolis, Indiana, before heading to Canada to close out the year.

In April, Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce , confirmed that he would be heading to Europe to “support” her on tour this summer. However, football will be in-season by the time she’s back in the United States. The couple has already made their romance last throughout one season of football and touring overlapping.

Deal of the Day

The Eras tour actually helped Taylor and Travis, 34, get together, as he attended one of the stops in Kansas City in July 2023. After the show, the NFL star gave Taylor a shout-out on his podcast, which led to her reaching out to him. They quietly dated for several weeks before going public with their relationship in September 2023.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Taylor told Time magazine in December 2023. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to know each other.”

Although the two have managed to maintain a certain level of privacy, they also haven’t shied away from the public frenzy surrounding their romance. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves. We’re showing up for each other,” the Grammy winner explained. “Other people are there and we don’t care. The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

As the 34-year-old superstar kicked off the European leg of her tour in Paris, fans gathered around livestreams and X to discover what she had in store.

Paris night one didn’t disappoint and ticket chaos was forgiven as the Tortured Poets Department took centre stage and the entire Eras Tour was changed, from bodysuits to choreography.

Fans had already speculated there might be a switch up after she released the Eras Tour film before her tour had finished but this was more than our wildest dreams.

It’s no surprise that Taylor has added in the new album but at already three and a half hours long , some songs were left on the cutting room floor.

The Archer, tis the damn season, and even the last great American dynasty were all brutally ripped from the setlist.

New glittering bodysuits and dresses were rolled out for every era except Reputation, which is the last in the album in the show to get it’s Taylor’s Version.

So far no vault track appears on her main setlist, only core album songs have a permanent place on the Eras Tour.

Swifties have been left in utter disbelief as Folklore and Evermore were combined into one era, known as the sisters era, to keep time down.

Speak Now was reduced back down to one song — RIP Long Live — and debut remains reserved for surprise songs in the acoustic set.

Let’s be honest Taylor could perform for six hours and fans would still want more but even she would probably find that exhausting.

It’s been a whirlwind 24hours for Swifties so lets see what the setlist has been left looking like and what that means for the UK.

We’re still going strong opening with Lover but even her seventh studio album and big opener couldn’t survive Taylor’s great setlist war. We’ll miss you, The Archer.

• Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince
• Cruel Summer
• You Need To Calm Down

Fearless Era

The album that made her a superstar remains unscathed but since there were only three songs for this era it’s hardly surprising.

However, a new tasseled bodysuit was revealed and it looks incredibly similar to one worn on the Our Song hitmaker’s original Fearless tour in 2009.

• You Belong With Me

In a position switch up, the setlist now moved from Fearless into Red instead of evermore but the songs remain unchanged and All Too Well remains firmly in pride of place.

• We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
• I Knew You Were Trouble
• All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

Speak Now Era

Justice for Speak Now, already balding but now scalped as Long Live has been once more removed.

We’re begging Taylor, I will sacrifice I Knew You Were Trouble for just one more purple painted dream.

Reputation Era

Yet to have it’s Taylor’s Version released, Reputation remains unchanged on the mammoth set but has been moved to after Red and Speak Now rather than before.

It’s also the only section that has not had an outfit change, the day that red and black bodysuit goes we’re all going to lose our minds.

• …Ready For It?
• Don’t Blame Me
• Look What You Made Me Do

Folklore/Evermore Era

Once separate totalling 12 songs, Taylor’s lockdown albums have been combined into one – with a lot of casualties.

‘We have reunited the sister albums,’ the singer told the Paris crowd, joking it could be called ‘everlore’ or ‘folkmore’.

Removed from the setlist are: Tis the damn season, the last great american dynasty, invisible string, and tolerate it.

• Cardigan (folklore)
• Betty (folklore)
• Champagne Problems (evermore)
• August (folklore)
• Illicit Affairs (folklore)
• My Tears Ricochet (folklore)
• Marjorie (evermore)
• Willow (evermore)

Mother’s favourite child remains safe and sound with no changes and still following the Folklore set. Honestly, we would have loved to see some of this swapped out for the vault tracks which stormed the charts last year.

Bad Blood remains on the setlist, we wonder if Kendrick Lamar is free to come do a surprise live feature…

• Blank Space
• Shake It Off
• Wildest Dreams

The Tortured Poets Department

Initially Swifties weren’t sure if this would be added and if so how could the 31 tracks possibly be whittled down into just a handful.

A new era brings blessings of brand new outfits, a floating stage set piece, gun shot choreography, and of course some insane vocal moments.

Taylor has spoken and these are (probably) her favourites off TTPD.

• But Daddy I Love Him
• So High School
• Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me
• The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
• I Can Do It with a Broken Heart

The stage she’s gliding around on during Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? IS A MIRROR!!!!! The audience can see themself in the mirror as she’s singing “You caged me and then you called me crazy. I am what I am ’cause you trained me” 💀💀💀 pic.twitter.com/YuV6A21dLs — 🩶beatriz🤍 – ttpd (@coneyisland131) May 9, 2024

Surprise songs

Each night Taylor plays two surprise songs from her vast discography, these have included This Love and Clean from 1989 and Dear John and Last Kiss from Speak Now.

She’s taken to doing mashups of the tracks, sometimes leading to fan speculation that the lyrics are somehow intertwined in inspiration.

Also known as the acoustic set, Paris night one fans were (obviously) treated to Paris from her album Midnights played on piano and loml on guitar from TTPD.

Midnights Era

Closing out the show is the iconic era which gave us ‘Karma is the guy on the chiefs ’ and that chair choreography — Midnights.

Her 2022 album gets sparkling new outfits, although the Lavender Haze fluffy lilac jacket has not been swapped out.

• Lavender Haze
• Midnight Rain
• Vigilante Shit

What is the old Eras Tour setlist?

With so many changes, here’s what Taylor’s Eras Tour used to look like for a setlist run

• tis the damn season
• champagne problems
• tolerate it
• invisible string
• the last great american dynasty
• illicit affairs
• my tears ricochet

When is the Eras Tour in the UK?

The Eras Tour will come to the UK next month , beginning in Edinburgh for three nights before heading to Liverpool, Cardiff, and London .

Who knows what Taylor will have in store for fans given her penchant for keeping everyone on their toes.

Given the huge overhaul, this is likely to be the setlist for the UK gigs and all her European dates but might have minor tweaks thrown in.

Of course, if you’re sad your favourite track is not on there is always a chance it could be one of the surprise songs as she has no rules around what she can and can’t sing here.

We’re hoping for Electric Touch, Now That We Don’t Talk, The Black Dog , or Hits Different but that tells you far too much about us.

What is Paramore's Eras Tour setlist?

The iconic pop punk band Paramore will be opening for Taylor Swift at the UK gigs and they revealed their setlist in Paris.

Of course, it is much shorter but still packed with hits from the chart-topping band, fronted by Taylor’s long time friend Hayley Williams.

• Hard Times (+ Heart Of Glass)
• Burning Down The House
• Still Into You
• Caught In The Middle
• Brick By Boring Brick
• The Only Exception
• That’s What You Get
• Ain’t It Fun
• This Is Why
