After a few months away, Taylor Swift has officially returned to The Eras Tour to kick off her European leg in Paris and it's now been confirmed that she has cut several songs from the official setlist. She's also changed the performance order of the actual Era sections.

For the first time since the show opened in Glendale, AZ way back in March 2023, Taylor has made substantial changes to the setlist in order to make space for her latest album, 'The Tortured Poets Department'.

Over the course of The Eras Tour so far, Taylor made a handful of permanent changes: 'Invisible String' was replaced by 'The 1', and 'Long Live' was added in July. Now, the entire setlist has been refreshed as she embarks on her final legs of the mammoth career-spanning tour.

Here's every song that Taylor has removed permanently from the setlist, alongside the new order in which she performs each Era.

'The Archer'

On May 9th in Paris, Taylor did not perform 'The Archer' during the opening 'Lover' section. The rest of the songs in that section remain in tact, starting with the iconic 'Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince' opener, 'Cruel Summer', 'The Man', 'You Need To Calm Down' and ending with 'Lover'.

'Long Live'

Once again, the 'Speak Now' section has been reduced to just one song as Taylor has removed 'Long Live' from the setlist for the first time since she added it in July 2023. 'Enchanted' is now the only song in the 'Speak Now' section.

'The 1' and 'The Last Great American Dynasty'

On May 9th in Paris, Taylor confirmed that the 'Folklore' and 'Evermore' sections have now been combined, reuniting the sister albums as one in the Eras Tour setlist. As a result, 'The 1' and 'The Last Great American Dynasty' have been cut from the section.

Only five 'Folklore' songs now exist in the setlist: 'cardigan', 'betty', 'august', 'illicit affairs' and 'my tears ricochet'.

'Tis The Damn Season' and 'Tolerate It'

As explained above, 'Folklore' and 'Evermore' sections have now been combined into one. Two songs from 'Evermore' have now been cut from the setlist and fans are absolutely devastated to see them go.

'Champagne problems', 'marjorie' and 'willow' are now the only 'Evermore' songs in the Eras Tour setlist.

What order does Taylor Swift now perform each album section on the Eras Tour?

On May 9th in Paris, Taylor left the crowd shook after she switched up the order of the eras on the official setlist. Now, instead of going into 'Evermore' after 'Fearless', she has brought 'Red' further forward in the show. 'Speak Now' then follows, with 'Reputation' next. 'Folklore' and 'Evermore' have been combined, creating a shorter, more succinct set.

'1989' arrives next, which is then followed by Taylor's new 'Tortured Poets' section. That then goes straight into the Surprise Song section. As usual, the show ends with 'Midnights'. Here's the new full rundown:
