The speculation mill is back in full swing. Following a short spring break that brought forward the highly anticipated album, the release of 'The Tortured Poets Department', Taylor Swift is about to resume her Eras Tour in Paris, France, beginning on May 9. From Paris, the tour will make stops in Sweden, Portugal, Spain, the UK, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Austria before concluding the international leg in London on August 20.

As the Eras Tour gears up for a restart, fans cannot help but wonder if 'The Tortured Poets Department' will make it to the set list.

Throughout Taylor Swift’s two-month hiatus from the Eras Tour, she surprised fans with the release of 31 new songs. Now, Swifties are brainstorming the possibility of tweaks the songstress can make to the customary Eras Tour setlist. YouTube Shorts recently released a video that showed  Swift rehearsing some unseen choreography. At one point, the pop star was seen encircled by backup dancers who wore top hats and held canes. This led people to speculate that Swift must have something different in store for her upcoming Eras Tour performances. 

Fans were also treated to a clip of Swift seated with one of her iconic guitars, which was also something fans thought was a new moment. This, along with the other unfamiliar moments observed in rehearsal footage, made many speculate that the acclaimed ‘Red’ creator may introduce songs from her latest album into her live performances. While there has not been any official confirmation regarding an updated setlist, there is a chance that the chart-topping pop icon will choose a handful of popular tracks from the double album to play live. But which ones could they be? 

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Leaves Fans in Dismay Over Average Ratings

Should Taylor Swift opt to include 'The Tortured Poets Department' in her live performances during the Eras Tour, there are certain songs that fans speculate have the greatest possibility of making it onto the setlist. 

Certain tracks, like the lead single 'Fortnight,' are highly anticipated additions to the setlist, especially given its position as the lead single. Taylor Swift also has a reputation for bringing surprise guests, and hence, there could be an appearance from Post Malone as well. Additionally, tracks like 'Down Bad,' 'So Long London,' and 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart' have captured the imaginations of fans and could potentially be on the tour's lineup. However, it all depends on one question- will she feature her latest album? 

Swift’s musical director, David Cook, recently dropped a cryptic hint on Friday via Instagram. In his post about the album, he raved, “Not sure how much I can add to the discourse other than this album is really REALLY good,” and emphasized, “You FEEL it”. Fans were quick to notice that Cook had initially teased, “Wait until you hear the live versions," before deleting the comment. While all these subtle hints point towards something exciting, only time will tell if Taylor Swift will really perform 'The Tortured Poets Department' on the Europe leg of her Eras Tour.
