The first performance of the European leg of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour is underway in Paris, and for weeks, diehard Swifties have been desperate to find out whether she’d be altering her three-hour set to accommodate the release of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Judging from the frenzied posts from Parisian fans on the front lines, the answer is a resounding YES.
Firstly, it appears that Swift has adjusted the dreamy intro to the tour, which consists of a mash-up of lyrics in which she sings the titles of her past albums. In the new intro, she’s added herself singing, “Straight from the tortured poets department,” officially solidifying it as a new era.
