CALIFORNIA, USA — Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour started back up in Paris after a two-month break from touring as she released her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department."
She's performing four shows at the Paris La Défense Arena on Thursday, May 9; Friday, May 10; Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12. Paramore is the supporting act for the European dates.
These shows mark the first ones since the release of "The Tortured Poets Department" and the surprise double album release "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology." Fans have long speculated online whether Swift will add a new era to the tour featuring songs from her latest album or if she'll introduce them as surprise songs and now they have an answer.
The Tortured Poets Department was added to the tour intro after 1989. There's also a new spot in the "Lover" house for the new album. Swift marked the start of her European leg with a new Lover bodysuit and a new jacket for "The Man." See more changes to the tour HERE.
On this tour, Swift is performing two (or more) surprise songs at each tour date, and fans are tracking which songs and mashups are performed at each show. While on tour in Australia, Swift said she wouldn't perform a surprise song only once on tour as she had done previously and has since performed several mashups combining songs from different albums.

The Eras
On her Eras Tour, Swift takes fans on a journey through her musical periods with costume changes to match the 11 albums she features. Here are the eras represented in the show:
- Taylor Swift (Debut)
- Fearless
- Speak Now
- Red
- 1989
- Reputation
- Lover
- Folklore
- Evermore
- Midnights
- The Tortured Poets Department
The addition of "The Tortured Poets Department" into the new leg of the tour has been long debated by fans. In behind-the-scenes photos of Swift rehearsing for her tour, she's seen with a white microphone, which has yet to be seen on stage (the microphones correlate to each era), leaving people to speculate about some integration of the new album. Others were worried she may cut some of the songs from the other eras to make room for a new set.
