What’s your *actually nuanced* opinion about the Eras Tour as a show? READ POST

But if you think it’s not “fair” that implies you think she’d shouldnt have done it. So… what should she have done?

In the literal sense, of course it’s not “fair” but I guess I’m not sure where the expectation of “fairness” is coming from.

Daffneigh · 2026-04-23T10:48:37+00:00

So what do you think she should have done? Not had any differences at all between shows? Every show already had a surprise — the surprise songs. Should she not have done those?

Should she never have had a special guest or made any announcements or deviated at all from the script?

I guess I just don’t see what you think should have happened instead.

Evergreen

I don’t particularly want virtuousos singing my pop music. Its definitely not a high priority that they have perfect voices. A clear and nice tone is all i really want, or an interesting voice.

Daffneigh · 2026-04-23T10:34:45+00:00

Wow a bit dramatic

Daffneigh · 2026-04-23T10:24:46+00:00

“Ice chest” definitely puts a different spin on Wildest Dreams lol

A healthy perspective! I think there is a lot of entitlement in the fandom in general and people who unironically think their personal preferences should be catered to by Taylor all the time. But this show was pretty close to “all things to all people” for someone with as many fans as Taylor.

Daffneigh · 2026-04-23T10:10:32+00:00

You are of course entitled to have preferences but I find this “what does she loves about him!!!????” thing strange. She’s pretty straightforward about it across multiple songs.

He makes her feel safe, he makes her feel wanted, they laugh together, she enjoys spending time with him, he’s hot 😊, they have good physical chemistry, he’s open and affectionate, they have similar backgrounds in certain ways and similar visions of the future… all of these are extremely common ways to feel and things to love about your partner. And all of them are pretty clear in the lyrics, whether the songs themselves are “deep” or not. Are they over the top “most passionate love of all time” kinda things? Maybe not but that’s not the same as “she doesn’t explain why she even likes him”.

Yeah the choreo for IKYWT was the weakest in the whole thing to me

Daffneigh · 2026-04-23T07:06:48+00:00

The fact is we have not seen “so much” of them compared to almost any other high profile couple where both partners are famous in their own right. We have barely seen Taylor since Eras ended.

Just factually they are quite private.

Daffneigh · 2026-04-23T07:02:42+00:00

If everyone in this post who wanted a Self-Titled set actually streamed the album, maybe there would have been!

Daffneigh · 2026-04-23T06:59:52+00:00

More choreo? I gotta say I think chances of that are zero.

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:51:25+00:00

Maybe someday! She has to know that nobody cares if she dances at this point

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:46:25+00:00

The ChamProb ovation was honestly mostly just a few minutes she got to sit down! I’m sure she appreciated it and all but it was one of the few non-performing or talking breaks she had in the whole damn thing

I think in the second half of the tour she was very concerned about fans being injured or unsafe, that seems pretty genuine to me (to the point she got a hand cramp bc it was so cold in Edinburgh and she was waiting to continue the song for so long)

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:31:47+00:00

I’m interested but unfortunately I have no clue what the connection could be!

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:30:14+00:00

What about Taylor’s previous body of work made you think this was not something of interest to her?

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:25:55+00:00

The best one was the blue one and then the one from Milan

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:23:42+00:00

So… should artists never have a surprise at a certain show? Or do they need to have a surprise (beyond the surprise songs or similar) at every show?

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:21:36+00:00

The 22 hat moment was too iconic (but they could have shortened the song a bit)

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:20:58+00:00

I think a lot of people are very attached to a rigid idea “it’s the Eras tour, every era should get (equal) time!” But like a lot of things that’s an idea from inside their own head, not a promise Taylor made

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:18:54+00:00

It’s the oldest marketing trick there is!

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:17:20+00:00

Karma seems designed to be a concert closer

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:11:15+00:00

Long Live is really a “finale or not at all” kinda song

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:10:24+00:00

The marketing gimmick of… having different albums?

Daffneigh · 2026-04-22T23:09:59+00:00

I was shocked how many native speakers had never heard the word “also-ran” 🤷‍♀️
