since Taylor swift's brand new album the tortured poets department is COMING soon and will likely incur some changes to the eras tour setlist (fingers crossed) here's my painstakingly thorough analysis and ranking of each and every performance on this mammoth and prolific tour. truly the entire thing is show stopping never been done before etc etc so there are no REAL cuts to be made, but we all know that evermore can use some work.....

Not me debating flying to London just for this🫣
@@caputcoleman for your wallet, dont! they will for sure tour in America!
bathroom break is the truest category name I think I've ever heard 😭
No BC everyone unanimously got up during tolerate it?!!!! Like half of the damn stadium just stood up and left. I was flabbergasted
I don’t understand how anyone can take a bathroom break 😭 sure, there are songs in the set list that I don’t care for, but I wouldn’t want to miss any second.
@@corneliastreet2491 now thats mental illness
@@Rachels7777some people have small bladders i guess 😭
I just watched the tour movie like three days ago. "Look what you made me do" is the gag if the century. It goes so hard! I got scared she'd jump out of the screen and strangle me. And tbh I would have loved every second of it.
it is EVERYTHING
i remember having it as my most favorite performance when I watched a livestream of the very first show. And it still kinda is.
The video hasn't started yet but I have a feeling that you will either delete champagne problems or put it in bathroom break😭😭
YOUR RIGHT😭
GIRL
Which is kind of disgusting let's be real
When he went to see the eras tour in person he actually did go to the bathroom during champagne problems 😭
@@HBDiniz10 its his opinion so I have no comments on that. But champagne problems is in my top 10 taylor swift songs for all time. I would probably be screaming the bridge with Tay😅
I would replace 'The Archer' with 'Cornelia Street'. To me, it just sounds like a song that was written to be performed live. The way it builds to a climax is *chef's kiss* & with her stage production, she could've made it look like an actual street with the lights pointing in an arrowhead🥹
I love how descriptive her lyrics are😊
I can see this! But I still think it’s a bit too low energy I would sub in I think he knows
@@theswiftologistfinally a I think he knows Stan 😭 I’m always having to defend it with my lfieb
I love Cornelia Street but the one time she performed it live she had tears streaming. So I don’t know!
@@briannatullius4733 Please drop a link to that🙏
@@briannatullius4733the way she sounds singing it “live from Paris” is so good though. I prefer it to the album version of the track for sure.
As an Archer lover I totally agree with your take! It seems off where it stands in the era
Finally some sense
I really wish she would've performed Cornelia Street, Red & Clean.
why cornelia street...
@@enchantedgoldrush It's one of my favs from Lover & it just sounds like a song that was written to be performed live.
Wonderland and OOTW deserve a spot in the 1989 era
@@13missamericana I agree with Wonderland because it never got a full stage production performance on the 1989 tour but I feel that we've been fed way too much of OOTW. She even performed that at the Grammys
When he said “what’s a lover set without lover” or something close I immediately thought of poor Red 😤
Louvre: Enchanted, Illicit Affairs
Delete: YNTCD, The Archer, Vigilante
Add: Literally any Debut 🥺
yep, you ate with this
vigilante no omg it has the best choreography 😢
@@tusmuertospisados111tbh no
Okay but now we NEED an eras tour outfit ranking from you
thats coming!!
and he ate with this categorization! never fails to deliver us a great video every week. love ya swiftologist!
Thanks so much!
Yeah I second this entire comment actually.
Yes PLEASE go through all the tour outfits!!!🤩
Can't wait to hear zach roasting the octopus dress
@@khairulazri2870
Which one is an octopus dress? 😳
@@heatherhensley9183i think the bodysuit with long tassles uptill her knee, which look like tentacles.
I only saw the film in theaters but when the BANG and snake projection on the stage for Rep made me CRY
it goes CRAZY live
"Sparks Fly" should have been added in the "Speak Now" set.
Other than that, I would've cut "The Archer", "Cardigan", "Mastermind", "Wildest Dreams".
Shortened "The Last Great American Dynasty", "Lover" and "Delicate".
That leaves us with, let's say 5 free spots for "The Tortured Poets Departement".
I highly approve of this opinion 🧐
Wildest dreams no the fact is it’s the transition to bad blood
wildest dreams cut but the chorus sang once with the instrumentals as the transition to enchanted, they're both delulu songs
Agree but just need Cardigan from “I knew you’d linger like a tattooed kiss” and on that would be so perfect
ohh you should make a video make the week before the tour is back where you rearrange the setlist to include ttpd because it would be out by then and we would probably know whether it's gonna have its own set on tour based on the sound
great idea!!
@@theswiftologistHi!🫶
Adding another Era is IMO asking for too much time wise and cost wise. The tour is over 3 hours and she’s performing nonstop, it’s like a broadway experience singing, dancing and acting. There’s a stage “setting” for each Era, it’s not as simple as some think. The “easiest” is changing songs in each Era but still is work.
The more she gives the more we want.
Be careful, remember what happened when you commented on IDWTLF. I still laugh so hard when I watch your reaction in Singapore, you think she did it on purpose? 🤣
The tour debuted over a year ago and hasn't really changed or incurred extra work (production wise) since. That plus the two month tour gap we're in, there's been plenty of time for her to have planned, prepped, and now rehearse and add in new content @@belmoon8711
yea I bet she's removing the arch, tis the damn season, long live, cardigan, and wildest dreams for ttpd
@@belmoon8711 Isn't there going to be just one opener now (Paramore for Europe, Gracie for the last part of 2024)? Maybe the time she goes on stage will be moved up in place of that second opener position and leave room for Tortued Poets Department.
For me, Willow falls under "magnifique." Marjorie also resonates with me. I agree with you about the long applause during "champagne problems." I think "evermore" could have been a better piano song.
Majorie crying 😭
I could feel my brain being thrown around my scull during the applause.
i vote for gold rush as a piano song
I totally get you the longass standing ovation is so unnecessary but I was also screaming and shouting every time at my shows just can’t help it 😭
OMG WAIT when u do ur tortured poets reaction vid, you would first rank the songs in tiermaker without hearing them just based on the vibes you get from them and then you could do a ranking after to show what your favs are vs what your flops are!
Yes for sure!
You know…I’m not mad at this ranking! I thought I’d be like huhhhhhh…? but your reasoning makes me realize how accurate it is
thats why I wanted to make it detailed.....
love that you mentioned her lipping! had the chance to see her and i definitely guessed some parts that she was not singing live especially when her pitch gets higher and her voice doesn't sound that strained - i thought she was just imitating her pitch in her older music (of course, nothing wrong with lip syncing love taylor DOWN but singing for 3 hours straight live will harm her voice in the long run im glad she has her secret moments to rest her voice)
There are def built in ‘rest’ moments for her w the track 🩷
@@theswiftologist good for her!
we need a little mix lore video🫶🫶🫶
It’s coming…
@@theswiftologistcan't wait!!
Zach, thank you for representing me and my apathy toward Champagne Problems. Happy Easter if you celebrate!
Anytime
I would add: Our Song, Teardrops on My Guitar, I'm Only Me When I'm With You (or Should've Said No). We need answers for Debut getting the cut, and there are people who still say Evermore is her least favourite child. Like, Speak Now is drowning in the river, and Debut was found at the bottom as a skeleton.
FACTS! also sparks fly is a necessity, it should be swapped for enchanted
I personally believe it is a CRIME to not have NBNC on the set list I love that song
FACTS!!!
I love how whenever i watch your videos i can go from agreeing 100% to being shocked within two seconds. Love your videos, youre so funny and engaging
"tis the damn season" in the top tier? I mean same! I loved that the song was included in The Eras Tour but I was also sad about it not getting its own recording for the movie.
ikr :(
for me, long live is sooo special too, i sobbed all throughout this one. i would absolutely put it in the louvre along with cruel summer (iconic)
long live is soooooooo special
The „waving at the plebeians who‘ve been staring at the screen all night“ part had me in tears, you‘re the funniest person alive
LMAOOO
The fearless section of the show is epic, amazing all i ever wanted it is the louvreeee and more
"I'm like a magpie" is now my favourite quote.
Love you Zack!!! Thanks for all of your hard work as always. Praying for you and Madeline’s sanity as we enter TTPD month 😆
debut songs would sound and look so good in that folklore cabin one of those moments were i wish the setlist wasn't separated by eras and instead we got mashups like the bad blood/should've said no moment from the rep tour
Ooh that'd be so cool
cardigan chop is so real
first things first im the realest
ikr, it's unnecessary. but oh well, i think she did this for the transition to 1989 era
@mil_exit How is it unnecessary? It’s the lead single from Folklore and the only lead single that’s also a fan favorite. If any song from Folklore was necessary, it’s Cardigan.
I watched this video days ago but I simply have to come back to comment 😂
I COULD NOT believe how different your opinion of Cardigan is compared to mine. It’s easily one of my top five TS songs 😭
When you said that ppl only like it because it’s part of the trilogy, that’s how I feel about Betty. It’s always been kind of a nothing song to me, it’s only purpose being to complete the trilogy. Whereas August and Cardigan are gold.
I mean it has some of the most heart wrenching lyrics I’ve ever heard - “leaving like a father, running like water” 😭
And the imagery of her feeling forgotten and discarded but then being found by someone who was looking for her all along! So beautiful!
But I had to come back because I watched a video by another creator - the folklore reaction by NeeCee X (I don’t think I can post a link) - and her interpretation of Cardigan was so different than what I had ever thought, it blew my mind. She described it as if the same person was the one who discarded her and then clung to her again as she was leaving. That makes SO MUCH SENSE with the current context of TS lore and joever.
YES! I'm so glad it wasn't cut, you can hear the raw emotion in cardigan ('you drew stars around my scars and now i'm bleeding' are you kidding me 😭😭😭) trumps betty anyday, as betty is essentially a story
Swiftologist has risen
he has risen indeed
you should do videos readjusting the setlist for past tours too!!🤍
Good idea!!
35:13 dont get me wrong I absolutely do LOVE the eras tour as is, I understand the hard work that goes into it and don’t want to sound like a whiner, but sometimes i wonder what it would have been like if the show was actually like this. And honestly sometimes think that would’ve been even better 😭 like imagine not just full lengths of the best songs but the BEST moments of the BEST songs. Like a concert of nothing but our favorite bridges and outros (the other side of the door) ????? Uh YES PLEASE. Not to mention i love a good reimagination of a song, and it would’ve been nice to see what taylor would’ve come up with.
I totally get what you’re saying, but I honestly think Taylor did the best she could considering how much material there is to chose from. You said what if we got more of the “best moments of the best songs”, but that’s really subjective and your best songs are probably not the 70,000 other fans best songs. Also it can get a little weird if she picked a lot of deep cuts bc at the end of the day, the show HAS to appeal to not only swifties but also general fans.
@@SweetPotato3507 i was thinking more how fans make compilation videos of the "best" taylor bridges here on youtube. Most of the time, a lot of those they pick are the same ones across the board. I know she had to have mass appeal which is why we got a lot of singles, but this is just me imagining a parallel universe where she implenented the mashup method like he was talking about in the video. I also understand doing individual full songs the way she's doing now allows for better planning and consistency
The Man, "I am here for a glitter moment, I'm like a magpie" 😂😂✨️✨️✨️✨️ brilliant commentary, you need to be a writer ✍️
I LOVE THIS VID CONCEPT!!! ur geniuinly so hilarious and I love evolution of a snake! wish i lived in london lol
I pretty much agree with you on your rankings here. I’m surprised lol I have not been to a show in person, but I’ve watched it countless times and you are right about some of the pacing. Great video 😊
the way you just express perfectly with words my random thoughts about the eras tour, just crazy
Holy cow! What did we do to get blessed with so much wonderful content fron the Swiftologist this week?! I'm loving it because I go to through withdrawal when I run out of your videos 😂
Also Zach your distatse for Lover kills me 😭😭 I legitimately think Lover is one of her best albums.
Thanks for watching!!
@@theswiftologist ofc! ❤️
The lwymmd praise is so real she ate so hard and it was such cathartic performance
OH MY GODDDDD YESSSSSS I AM SEATED FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS I CANNOT WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Thank goodness the prayer is back!
We need more of it!!!
I live for your videos! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Bathroom breakkkkkkkkkk 😂 I just spilled the sip I was taking. Zack you can’t keep on doing this - water is a rare commodity
Also THANK U for acknowledging Style as the true shining star of 1989
We NEED that outfit ranking, I need you to roast those noodle dresses
My cuts/mashups (I’m very biased):
The Archer - CUT
Champagne Problems can be cut or shortened
22/We Are Never/IKYWT can all be shortened or mashed up with each other
As much as I LOVE All Too Well 10, it has to be shortened
Half of the folklore songs can be mashedup, shortened, or cut
Mastermind can be cut
Agree with all of this apart from ATW10, it's worth the ten minutes imo. 🫶
You are trying to condense red into literally like 7 minutes
all too well 10 needs to be played in full
@@ElusivG Speak Now would like to talk
@@ElusivGwhich is totally valid because red was definitely…. an era
watching this and kicking my feet IM SO EXCITED FOR MY SHOW i can’t believe i am going to experience this
YOU DID THE PRAYER!!! 🙏🏽
I continue to be so impressed with the curation and comprehensiveness of this channel. I am neurodivergent with a special interest in psychology and - as an enthusiastic subcategory - pop culture. In my years I have been subject to everything from light implication to direct (and quite vehement) criticism, tying that fact innately to a lack of intelligence. Zach blows that perspective clean out of the water and it gives me genuine joy 😄❤
Thank you so much for this comment Cat! I dealt with a lot of that growing up too. We can enjoy non-serious things and approach them seriously, unabashedly, and with intelligence.
My favorite moments of the show are cruel summer, enchanted, fearless, august (the spinny dress with the sleeves omg!) and midnight rain- the “it came like a postcard” change moment has me gagged so hard every single time. It’s like the miss Americana closing version of the midnights set. We go from rainbow sunsets to midnight- it’s beautiful.
sooo PERFECT
you're so real and brave to put VS on "delete" 😇 of which I agree
the chat went crazy when I did that but I speak my truth
I just listened to Tolerate It and it’s beautiful, heartbreaking, and painful.
I was into tear during Fearless as well, like finally I had a chance to go to her concert and omg I missed the old day
I CANT BELIVE UR PERFORMING EVOLUTION OF A SNAKE LITERALLY IN MY CITY I HAVE TO GO 😮😮😮
Can’t wait to watch this video just had to get that out 🤭
yes bb definitely get your ticketssss!!
Agree on the Archer…timed my bathroom break for that. The whole Fearless era was fire. I loved her energy, the interactions with her band, her dancing…just so upbeat and full of life.
soooo good
Some songs came to life for me when i saw their life performance. Her energy and emotion, her connection to her music makes it magical.
For me the fearless set is fuckin superior like it’s not even my fav album or anything but the songs just makes everything thing come to life. It’s soooo fun just singing to these songs on top of your lungs✨
i LOVED the singlish editions to wanegbt it made the night feel just a tad bit more special on top of having different surprise songs! 🥰
yess me too
SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE
the marjorie performance and song in general CONSISTENTLY bring me to tears
LOL I’ve missed the scooter Braun prayer
AMEN
Need you to tier rank all the suprise songs and Mashups so far!
I think I agree with most of this. I was worried you were gonna put My Tears Ricochet down low but that is the moment for me. My #1 forever!
LOVED THE VIDEO! Waited to watch it while I ate dinner and it was worth it. As always, you just know your stuff. My TOP louvre performances from when I went in Nashville would be Cruel Summer, Fearless, You Belong With Me, LWYMMD, Enchanted, All Too Well 10, Style, Shake it Off, Surprise songs, Anti-Hero, Bejeweled, and Karma. Those were the most fun and I had the time of MY LIFE! In delete, I would put The Archer, Delicate, Betty, Cardigan, IKYWT, Wildest Dreams, and Vigilante Shi. Not saying all of those are bad, but I think could be replaced easily if she chooses to replace some going forward. I think some added songs could definitely be I did something bad, getaway car, New Romantics, YOYOK, and tortured poets set. Thank you for the video! I’m so excited for April (TTPD Month) because I have a feeling that once April hits, she will be teasing and promoting. I’m sensing emergency videos may be on the way. Anyways have a great day Zach!
Okay super excited for this on but I have a request too: I would if you did a video on the album The Good Witch by Maisie Peters!
Now THIS is an Easter miracle 👏🏻
The two songs that made me cry live were Fearless and Tis the Damn Season, so thank you for your impeccable taste.
do outfits ranking next king!!
Can I just say that I absolutely love being called a Diva 😊✨
I’m so glad, diva!!
Hand heart 🫶😍
28:05 Agreed!!! I LOVE the 22 moment. I remember at my show the little girl waiting for Taylor was crying and all of my friends and myself looked at each other wanting to cry. It’s a beautiful moment
Vigilante S*** will always be in the louvre for me! It's sexy, seductive and above all, awesome! ❤
Well say that
Thank you so much for the ATW10 recognition! Appreciated
some disrespectful hussies are saying it should be cut. over my dead body
I freaked out so hard for ready for it because ready for it is my fav rep song
my tears ricochet IS SAFE TRUST 🙏🏽🙏🏽
but of course I have taste
@@theswiftologistEnchanted or long live ?, which Song is your favorite , I love both ❤❤❤❤
I'd love for you to do a video on Melodrama, one of my fav albums of all time and both it's themes and Jacks involvement has always made me think about how some of its songs could fit into Midnights and potentially TTPD. I know you think highly of it too from previous vids, in addition to the album cover in the background
I agreed with p much all of this 👏 And some great points I hadn’t considered before too!
Omg can you do an outfit roast for the eras tour… that would be so interesting!
HAHAHA I was just waitingggg for you to get to The Archer. I was like "he gonna go straight to delete on that one" anddddd... I 1000% agree though
Oh see I loooove that hip thrusty walk in ready for it 😁😁😁 I catch myself trying to do it all the time haha 😆 there's something about her being up there with that group of girls behind her that is such a vibe.
I definitely think it says something that a lot of the songs you deleted were cut from the Eras Tour Movie. She never performed Tis the Damn season in LA and I think she wanted to save Long Live for the Disney+ Taylor’s Version.
👁️ ☕️
omg nooo Willow is soooo good, so creative and nothing like it in the show!!
I would love I can see you on the eras tour , after long live
slay video swiftologist :)
The deep deep need i have to get tickets for the Miami show just so I can see long live after seeing her in Tampa is unreal. I neeeeeed them.
Went to SG to attend the concert on March 7. Let me tell you, I stood the entire time for my concert night and danced. We got rained on too and had a very strict usher/security lady who forced me to go back to my seat where I promptly cried, idk if it was because of Taylor, the strict security lady, or the rain. I felt too much that I couldn't be shoulder to shoulder with people and sit. I felt miserable sitting down. That's not what people should do during the concert of the singer they've been supporting since they were 15!!! I kept thinking that Taylor would stand and dance if she were me. I just knew it. Tears just kept on streaming down my face and my friends thought it was just because I was watching THE TAYLOR SWIFT but no, it was A LOT of things. Good thing that it rained again and they didn't force us to remain seated anymore. I quickly stood up and went to the back. I stood there for the entire concert and danced like crazy. I thought my heels would break mid concert and that I wouldn't be able to stand up the next day but both didn't happen! I met wonderful strangers who danced like crazy at the back too. But best believe, I didn't have energy for the ride home. Now, I feel like crying again. I honored every version of me who was a Taylor fan. The girl who printed lyrics and memorized them on the ride back from school. The lady who introduced Taylor to all her friends. The me who was a keyboard warrior during the 2016 meltdown. The woman who found her very own Cornelia street. EVERY VERSION OF ME, I brought to that concert. It was wonderful. Thank you, Taylor.
I love the archer mashup with fearless. It’s so magical
I liked this breakdown of the tour. Delete Vigilante Sht & Champagne Problems without a second thought. My Louvre is Tolerate It & Cruel Summer/or style. Look forward to the HONEST costume tier ranking 😊💕
I don’t agree with all of your choices but o absolutely loved pretending to talk to you throught this vid and getting excited and saying what I think it’s so fun!!
You should make a vid for newer swifties with lore and everything!! ( it’s me haha 1989 tv newbie)
the louvre: tlgad
magnifique: ikywt
well alright then: anti-hero
bathroom break: betty
delete: champagne problems
the whole reputation set was life changing. had me truly gagged i miss it
Honestly I would love Taylor to add another acoustic moment after lover… but that’s probably just an excuse for her to add dbatc to the set list 😅
The mic slays!
thank u !! I DIYd
Aaagh. Not deleting the Archer. No no. I love it!
my vote for August to be in the Louvre, the tik toks of her running towards the camera then twirling, no shoes and free, its such a beautiful moment. It's a celebration of innocence and in my opinion the girlhood Taylor holds so dearly. I love it so so much.
FINALLY
I only went to one show (Seattle N1) but for me it was perfect. SO many things made that night iconic - the small swiftie earthquake, NBNC, not realizing that LONG LIVE was added (hello???), and being surprised with This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things. Oh and I learned recently that Eddie Vedder was there, so 2 artists I love were in the same place.
Louvre: LWYMMD, Long LIve
Delete: The Archer, YNTCD
We kinda have the same opinion in almost everything about the Eras Tour. You said everything that's on my mind.
