Friday 13th October was a big day for Swifties as The Eras Tour Film was released in cinemas worldwide, but of course they already know all the words to the songs from Taylor’s back catalogue – from the days of 'Dear John' to the ‘Midnights’ era and all the re-releases in between.

As thousands of flans flock to their local screening following the star-studded premiere – where Beyoncé was in attendance(!) – fans are keen to know which songs are in The Eras Tour movie, and which ones have been cut from the set list, so we can all prepare to sing our hearts out in the cinema.

Swifties will no doubt be dressing up with their friendship bracelets at the ready, so all that’s left to prepare is the list of songs we’re all about to have on repeat for the next few weeks – until '1989 – Taylor’s Version’ takes over our lives instead.

Here's what you need to know about the Eras Tour Film set list, including which songs have been cut, why they were cut and what the surprise acoustic songs are.

What songs were cut from the Eras Tour movie?

According to fans who got to see 'The Eras Tour' concert movie as soon as it was released, these are the songs that aren’t included in the film set list:

  • 'The Archer'
  • 'cardigan'
  • ''tis the damn season'
  • 'no body, no crime (feat. HAIM)'
  • 'Wildest Dreams'
  • 'Long Live' (not on the set list, but plays in the credits)
  • 'Seven' interlude

Why did Taylor cut songs from the Eras Tour movie?

Taylor hasn't confirmed why she cut songs from the Eras Tour Film set list, but the answer is most likely due to the show's run time, which is around 27 minutes shorter than the actual 'Eras Tour' concert. The concert itself is around three hours and 15 minutes, which is quite long for a movie. The film however is around two hours and 48 minutes.

Which surprise songs are in the Eras Tour Film?

Taylor performs two surprise songs that aren't on the set list on every one of her 'Eras Tour' concerts, so of course she kept a couple in for the movie too.

Here are the surprise songs included in the Eras Tour movie:

  • ‘Our Song’
  • ‘You’re On Your Own, Kid’

‘Our Song’ is from Taylor’s self-titled debut album, which she hasn’t re-released just yet, so fans are so excited to see this one track from her first era included in the Eras Tour film set list.
