Three hours isn’t enough to truly hit every high point in Swift’s sprawling career. The “Surprise Song” segment offers the “All Too Well” singer an opportunity to throw in a hidden gem or a single that didn’t make the original cut. Attendees are sat on the edge of their seats for most of the show waiting to see what surprise song they can boast Swift played at their show.
Highlights from past “Surprise Song” segments include “Cowboy Like Me,” “The Best Day,” and “Last Kiss.” With 52 dates under her belt, Swift has performed quite a few “Surprise Songs.” Find a full list (per PopBuzz) of the songs she has chosen so far, below.
