The latest missive from The Desk of Taylor Swift is a newly penned Eras Tour setlist, to make room for her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department.
Last week, Swift brought her blockbuster trek to Europe for the first time, playing four shows at Paris’ La Defense Arena. After a year-plus of concerts — not to mention the theatrical release of her Eras Tour film and a streaming version on Disney+ too — the pop superstar made wholesale changes to the well-worn setlist, reshuffling the order, combining two eras into one and adding a seven-song section dedicated to her latest release.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith (who have been to two Eras Tour concerts apiece) take a closer look at the changes Swift implemented at the European kick-off. Listen below:
Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake feud continues to heat up the charts, as Lamar’s “Not Like Us” debuts at No. 1, his “Euphoria” jumps into the top 10, and Drake’s “Family Matters” debuts at No. 7. Plus, over on the Billboard 200, Dua Lipa scores her highest-charting album ever, as her new studio set Radical Optimism debuts at No. 2, behind a third week at No. 1 for Swift’s Tortured Poets.
