Taylor Swiftâs Germany Surprise Song Mashups Were Some Of Her Best Yet
Listening to âFresh Out The Slammerâ / âYou Are In Loveâ on loop.
The Eras Tour is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Not only is Swiftâs tour a hotbed for celebrities (hi, Travis Kelce) and collecting friendship bracelets, but the setlist is packed with hits. At each show, the singer has shown love to her entire discography and some cult classics â or what she defines as âsurprise songs.â No two Eras Tour shows are the same, as she changes up which two surprise tracks sheâll sing at each stop. Luckily, Swifties have shared tons of videos capturing these performances online.
During the tourâs opening night on Mar. 17, 2023 in Arizona, Swift told the crowd her setlist idea. âThe plan, the goal, would be to play different songs every single night and never repeat one,â she said, adding these tracks would be performed during her acoustic set. With a lighthearted smile, she then gave a quick caveat. âUnless I mess it up so badly that I have to do it over again in another city.â
The whole year, Swift kept true to her promise and switched up the 36th and 37th songs with new surprise tracks. She occasionally repeated these performances due to minor hiccups, because ~Errors Tour.~ But these live renditions were iconic, nonetheless.
During her Nov. 26, 2023 show in SĂŁo Paulo, Brazil, Swift made a major announcement about her surprise songs for 2024. âWhat Iâve decided is that in 2024, when we go back out on tour, Iâm just going to open back up all the songs for surprise songs,â Swift said. âI feel like for one year weâve really gotten through a lot of songs. So Iâm just going to make all the songs fair game.â
Here are all the special one-night-only Eras Tour performances, including her newest addition of medleys, that fans will always remember.
The Munich, Germany Shows
July 27
âFresh Out The Slammerâ / âYou Are In Loveâ is truly a sickening combo, and Swift proved it when she paired the two songs for her Munich show on July 27.
Her second mashup â âIvyâ and âCall It What You Wantâ â seemed to be a shoutout to all the small, quiet moments that make a love affair special.
July 28
Swiftâs collab with Zayn Malik, âI Donât Wanna Live Forever,â made its return to the Eras Tour on July 28. She mashed the song with âimgonnagetyoubackâ off of Tortured Poets. Next, she paired another TTPD song âlomlâ with her Fearless vault track, âDonât You.â
The Hamburg, Germany Shows
July 23
Swift went all the way back to her debut days on July 23, but she added a twist. She performed a mashup of âTeardrops On My Guitarâ / âThe Last Time.â Later, things got *sad* when she played the heartbreaking mashup of âWe Were Happyâ / âHappinessâ on the piano.
July 24
Swift brought back a song that was cut from the Eras tour setlist for her surprise songs on July 24. She mixed the tracks âThe Last Great American Dynastyâ and âRunâ for a surprising mashup. Then, she sang a mashup of âNothing Newâ / âDear Reader.â
The Gelsenkirchen, Germany Shows
July 17
For her first night in Gelsenkirchen, Swift started off her surprise songs on an optimistic note, pairing âSuperstarâ and âInvisible String.â She also did a mashup of âSlut!â / âFalse God,â perfect for Swifties who love her slower tracks.
July 18
Swift went back to her roots a bit with a mashup of âSpeak Nowâ / âHey Stephen.â
She also did a mashup of âThis Is Me Tryingâ / âLabyrinthâ â proof that although Folklore and Midnights have very different vibes, but they certainly sound right when paired together.
The Milan, Italy Surprise Songs
July 13
Swift did an interesting mix of breakup tracks for her July 13 show in Milan. She started off with a mashup of âthe 1â / âWonderland.â
Later, she sang a mashup of two Red tracks, âI Almost Doâ / âThe Moment I Knew.â
July 14
Swift kept the breakup songs coming during her second Milan show. She combined âMr. Perfectly Fineâ and âRed,â before going into a more anxiety focused mashup: âGetaway Carâ / âOut of the Woods.â
The ZĂźrich, CHE Surprise Songs
July 9
For Swiftâs 113th Eras Tour performance, she wanted to make her acoustic set extra special in honor of her lucky number. âI just thought since [13 is] my favorite number, Iâd just do some of my favorite songs for the acoustic section,â she announced to the crowd, before launching into a mashup of "Right Where You Left Me" / "All You Had to Do Was Stay."
And of course, since it was July 9 after all, she had to perform her heart-rending breakup ballad âLast Kiss,â which famously mentions that date. She paired the song, which is thought to be about her split with Joe Jonas, with another breakup song: "Sad Beautiful Tragic."
July 10
For her second ZĂźrich show, Swift paired up nostalgic throwbacks with some of her more recent, underrated tracks. She sang a mashup of âClosureâ / âA Perfectly Good Heartâ on guitar and then âRobinâ / âNever Grow Upâ on piano.

And then she brought the romance with "You Are in Love" / "Cowboy like Me."
July 6
Swiftâs final night in Amsterdam was a full love letter to Travis Kelce, who was watching on from the crowd. She delivered the live debut of âSweeter than Fiction,â combining it with âHoly Ground.â
And finally, sang her most Kelce-coded mashup yet: "Mary's Song (Oh My My My)" / "So High School" / "Everything Has Changed." This marked Swiftâs first time performing âMaryâs Songâ live since its release as a track on her debut album in 2006. The deep cut has taken on a significant new meaning since Swift began dating Kelce, thanks to the lyric, âIâll be 87, youâll be 89,â which references their two signifying numbers.
Fans noticed Swift gave a knowing grin to the audience during that particular line.
The Dublin, IRE Surprise Songs

Swift kicked off her Dublin shows with a mashup of "State of Grace" and "You're on Your Own, Kid."

June 14
One of the most surprising surprise songs of all came on night two of Liverpool, when Swift combined âGold Rushâ with the Rihanna and Calvin Harris single âThis Is What You Came For.â As hardcore Swifties know, Swift secretly co-wrote the 2016 release under a pseudonym.
Things then took a sadder turn when Swift performed a mashup of âThe Great Warâ and âYouâre Losing Me.â
June 15

June 8
Swift really kicked things into high gear with a mash-up of âThe Bolterâ and âGetaway Car.â
It was her piano set that really surprised Swifties, though. She sang a combination of âAll of the Girls You Loved Beforeâ and âCrazier.â Swift wrote âCrazierâ in 2009 for The Hannah Montana movie, and in the 15 years since, she had never once performed it live, so this unexpected live debut was a huge treat.
The Lyon, FR Eras Tour Surprise Songs
June 2
Swift took her French fans on a whole journey by combining âThe Prophecyâ with âLong Story Shortâ for her first acoustic surprise.

February 23
For Swiftâs first Eras Tour performance in Sydney, she played âHow You Get The Girlâ on guitar. Then, Sabrina Carpenter (whoâs been opening for Swift on tour) came on stage to sing a mashup of âWhite Horseâ and âConey Islandâ with her.
February 24
Sydney truly won in the surprise songs department. On her second night, Swift whipped out her guitar to perform a mix of two older tracks: âShouldâve Said Noâ from her self-titled debut, and âYouâre Not Sorryâ on Fearless. Later that night, she retired behind the piano and sang a mashup of Reputationâs âNew Yearâs Dayâ and âPeaceâ from Folklore.
February 25
The Sydney mashups continued. Swift first started with a 1989 (both original and Taylorâs Version) blend of âIs It Over Nowâ and âI Wish You Would.â She then darkened the setlist, performing a mix of Speak Nowâs âHauntedâ and âExileâ off Folklore.
February 26
For her final night in Sydney, Swift fully leaned into her mashup era with ease. Her first blend began with âWouldâve Couldâve Shouldâveâ from Midnights and âIvyâ from Evermore, which felt on par with her green-hued dress.

The Melbourne, AUS Eras Tour Surprise Songs
February 16

February 17
For Melbourne night two, Swift sang a mashup of songs from three different eras â Fearless, Reputation, and Folklore. She surprised crowds by combining âGetaway Car,â âAugust,â and âThe Other Side Of The Doorâ on guitar.

February 18
Keeping with the trend of performing mashups, Swift sang a combination of âCome Back... Be Here and âDaylightâ on guitar. She then performed âTeardrops on My Guitarâ on piano.
The Tokyo, JPN Eras Tour Surprise Songs
February 7
At long last, Swiftâs Eras Tour returned in 2024 with her Tokyo shows. Fittingly, her first surprise song was âDear Reader,â a nod to her recently announced 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department.
Swift also performed âHoly Groundâ for the Tokyo crowd.

February 10
She closed out her Tokyo performances with the Fearless track âCome In With the Rain.â
And finally, the last song she played before jetting off to watch her boyfriend play in the Super Bowl was âYouâre On Your Own, Kid.â Swifties speculated that she chose this song as an ode to Travis Kelce, considering they met when Kelce tried to give her a friendship bracelet (an Eras staple inspired by a line in that song).
The SĂŁo Paulo, BRA Eras Tour Surprise Songs
November 24
For her first night in SĂŁo Paulo, Swift performed her 1989 (Taylorâs Version) vault track âNow That We Donât Talkâ live for the first time.
She then took to her piano to sing âInnocent.â
November 25
She also gifted her Brazilian fans with a live performance of âSafe & Sound,â the song she wrote for The Hunger Games.
Swift then performed âUntouchable.â
November 26
The third night of SĂŁo Paulo was bittersweet for Swifties, many of whom were theorizing that Swift may use her final 2023 concert to announce Reputation (Taylorâs Version). But ultimately, that long-awaited âI Did Something Badâ surprise song didnât come. Instead, Swift live-debuted her recently released vault track âSay Donât Go.â
Her final surprise song of the year was âItâs Time to Go.â
Swift also gave the crowd a major update about her future surprise songs for 2024. She told the crowd that she would be repeating surprise songs for the next leg of her tour, making a completely blank slate to choose any song she wanted.
The Rio De Janeiro, BRA Eras Tour Surprise Songs
November 17

Then, she went to the piano to sing âBigger Than the Whole Sky.â
November 20
For her final night in Rio de Janeiro, Swift performed an acoustic version of her single âMe!â
But the real conversation starter was Swiftâs second surprise song. She took to the piano to sing âSo It Goes...,â which fans were quick to point out was one of the two Reputation tracks she had not yet performed on the tour. To drive the point home even more, Swift winked during the performance.
Swifties took the âSo It Goes...â choice as an indication that she is about to announce Reputation (Taylorâs Version), a project sheâs been subtly teasing for a while now. The theory is that whenever Swift finally performs her last Rep song, âI Did Something Bad,â sheâll use that to announce when her re-release of the album will drop.
The Buenos Aries, ARG Eras Tour Surprise Songs
November 9
After more than two months away from the Eras stage, Swift returned with her Red (Taylorâs Version) vault track âThe Very First Night.â
She also performed her Midnights song âLabyrinth.â
These two song choices were incredibly interesting, given it was Swiftâs first performance since she began dating her new boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Fans were quick to point out how both songs were about the romantic beginnings of a new relationship, with âThe Very First Nightâ in particular having the lyric, âI was riding in the car when we both fell.â Swift and Kelce memorably drove off together after their first public appearance at one of Kelceâs games.
November 11
For the first time in the Eras Tour, Swift performed a special mashup for one of her surprise songs. She combined her newly released vault track âIs It Over Now?â with âOut of the Woods.â
It was her second surprise song that really raised eyebrows. Swift sang her Reputation track âEnd Game,â which carried extra meaning since her boyfriend Travis Kelce was in attendance. The song had become a top pick for Swifties when making romantic edits of Swift and Kelce, given the sports references in its lyrics and âbig reputationâ chant.
November 12

She then sang âSlut!,â a vault track off her newly released 1989 (Taylorâs Version).

She continued the mellow vibes with her Folklore gem, âExile.â
August 8
Swift continued her Reputation streak on her fifth L.A. stop. She performed âKing Of My Heartâ to an emotional crowd, who belted the lyrics as passionately as Swift did.
