Swifties take on the impossible task of selecting which songs Taylor should sing on her Eras Tour

How about her entire discography, please?

With Taylor Swift finally getting back on the road for her The Eras Tour starting March of next year, Swifties are reeling with the infinitude of possibilities for the set list.

Swift has ten studio albums to her name, with over 220 songs in her discography. On her last tour for her 2017 album Reputation, the singer played 24 songs during a two-hour set. See the problem?

According to Swift, The Eras Tour will be “a journey through the musical eras” of her career, meaning fans are now struggling to decide which of their favorite hits they would most love to hear live.

Most refuse to choose, and would just prefer the singer throw a 10-hour-long gig instead, where she could perform her entire discography. As much as that sounds like an unreasonable request, picking just 24 songs from her stellar catalog is even more ridiculous.

Some true fans, however, have very obscure specific requests like the rock version of “I Knew You Were Trouble” from the 1989 Tour, or the original version of “Picture to Burn,” which contained the “That’s fine I’ll tell mine that you’re gay” lyric that has since become a meme in the fandom.

Others, still, took the challenger seriously and curated their ideal The Eras Tour setlist.

Swift has yet to tour any of her most recent four studio albums, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights, as well as the rerecordings of her Fearless and Red albums, which came with a number of new tracks, including the long-requested ten-minute version of All Too Well. She had also booked and sold tickets for Lover Fest, which was supposed to take place throughout 2020 before the pandemic ruined her plans.

Tickets for The Eras Tour go on sale Nov. 15. You can find all the information about how to get them here, and check out We Got This Covered’s ranking of all Midnights (3am Edition) tracks, while you prepare.
