CINCINNATI — Taylor Swift's Eras Tour held two shows in Cincinnati, and Swift brought out deep cuts and even a special guest during her surprise songs in the Queen City.
Swift typically sings two songs — one on the guitar and one on the piano — in addition to her usual setlist. Once she sings it (unless she messes it up or feels she can do it better), the song will not be sung again on tour.
During night 1, Swift sang "I'm Only Me When I'm With You" from her 2006 debut album as her first surprise song of the night. When she moved to the piano, she sang the title track from her album "Evermore."
While it did not happen Friday night, fans were hoping for a surprise guest to go along with Swift's surprise songs. Cincinnati native and The National member Aaron Dessner works frequently with the "Lover" singer, producing and co-writing songs on her albums "Folklore," "Evermore," "Fearless (Taylor's Version)," "Red (Taylor's Version) and "Midnights (3am Edition)."
On Saturday, fans did get two surprise guests. The entire show was moved an hour forward on Saturday due to inclement weather, which meant Gracie Abrams opening set was cut. Due to this, Swift invited Abrams out during her surprise songs part of the show to sing Abrams' "I miss you, I'm sorry." Other than the duet with Abrams, Swift played "Ivy," which is another "Evermore" track, with Dessner.
Lastly, Swift played "Call It What You Want" from her 2017 album "Reputation."
Swift has 16 shows left in her Eras Tour, meaning Swifties will be blessed with at least 32 more surprise songs. With the release of "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" on July 7, we can bet Swift is sure to pull out more songs from the album, which is a re-recording of her third release.
