I would be complex, I would be cool
They'd say I played the field
before I found someone to commit to
And that would be ok for me to do
Every conquest I had made would
make me more of a boss to you
I'd be a fearless leader
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like?
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker
if I was a man?
And I'm so sick of them
coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man,
then I'd be the Man
I'd be the Man
I'd be the Man
They'd say I hustled
Put in the work
They wouldn't shake their heads
and question how much of this I deserve
What I was wearing if I was rude
Could all be separated from
my good ideas and power moves?
And they would toast to me, oh
Let the players play
I'd be just like Leo
in Saint-Tropez?
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker
if I was a man?
And I'm so sick of them
coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man,
then I'd be the Man
I'd be the Man
I'd be the Man
What's it like to brag
about raking in dollars
And getting b*tches and models
And it's all good if you're bad
And it's okay if you're mad
If I was out flashing my dollars,
I'd be a bitch, not a baller
They paint me out to be bad
So it's okay that I'm mad
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker
if I was a man?
And I'm so sick of them
coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man,
then I'd be the Man
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker

You are somebody that I don't know

Why are you mad?

- GLAAD
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark ages
Making that sign,
must've taken all night
You just need to take several seats
and then try to restore the peace
And control your urges to scream
about all the people you hate
'Cause shade never made
anybody less gay
So, oh-oh...
Oh-oh...
You need to calm down
You're being too loud
And I'm just like oh-oh
Oh-oh...
You need to just stop
Like, can you just not step on his gown?
You need to calm down
And we see you over there on the internet
Comparing all the girls who are k*lling it
But we figured you out
We all know now, we all got crowns

You need to calm down

I get to sing with you, dance with you, and vibe with you, and hangout with you all night Look at you!

You know, we get a good sense of a crowd in the first couple of songs.

We realize if it’s gonna be like, a soulmate crowd situation, and I feel so promising I just have to tell you that it's looking so good.

So you and I, we’re about to go on a little adventure together, that adventure is gonna span 17 years of music, and it’s going to be be one era at a time.

How does that sound to you?

Alright, so let me tell you my secret little dream for this evening

These are songs that I have written about my life, or things I’ve felt at one point in time, whether I was a teenager, in my twenties, or a couple years ago,but after tonight, when you hear
these songs out and about in the world, my dream is that you’re gonna think about tonight and the memories we made together at So-Fi Stadium.

I’ll be your host this evening My name is Taylor.

Thank you for traveling with us here at the Eras Tour.

We could leave the Christmas lights up
until January
And this is our place,
we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze,
a mysterious way about you dear
Have I known you twenty seconds
or twenty years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close
forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my
Lover
We could let our friends crash
in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious
that everyone who
sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now,
honey, but I want 'em all
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close
forever and ever?
And ah, take me out,
and take me home
Forever and ever
You're my
Lover
Ladies and gentlemen,
will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar
on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man
to be my lover
My heart's been borrowed
and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well
to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic
and true to my lover
And you'll save
all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat,
Lover
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close
forever and ever?
And ah, take me out,
and take me home
Forever and ever
You're my
Oh, you're my
Darling, you're my
Lover


There's something bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
You walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you
to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot, yeah
We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm trying so hard
not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly making me want you
And I don't know
how it gets better than this
You take my hand
and drag me head first,
Fearless
And I don't know why
but with you I'd dance
in a storm in my best dress,
Fearless
Well you stood there with me
in the doorway
My hands shake
I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in
and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss, it's flawless,
really something,
it's Fearless
Oh, yeah
And I don't know
how it gets better than this
You take my hand
and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why
but with you I'd dance
in a storm in my best dress,

She's going off
about something that you said

get your humor like I do
I'm in my room,
it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music
she doesn't like
And she'll never know
your story like I do
'Cause she wears short skirts,
I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain
and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
has been here the whole time
If you could see
that I'm the onе who understands you
Been here all along,
so why can't you see?
You bеlong with me
You bеlong with me
Walking the streets with you
and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking
this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench,
thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile
that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since
she brought you down
You say you're fine,
I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doing with
a girl like that?
She wears high heels,
I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain
and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one

Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You bеlong with me
You bеlong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house
in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs
and you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Can't you see that
I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along,

You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
on a balcony, in summer air
See the lights, see the party,
the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
and say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo,
you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said,
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone"
"I'll be waiting,
all there's left to do is run"
"You'll be the prince,
and I'll be the princess"
"It's a love story, baby, just say 'Yes'"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause
we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town
for a little while, oh, oh
'Cause you were Romeo,
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was begging you,
"Please don't go,"
and I said,
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone"
"I'll be waiting,
all there's left to do is run"
"You'll be the prince,
and I'll be the princess"
"It's a love story, baby, just say 'Yes'"
"Romeo, save me, they're trying
to tell me how to feel"
"This love is difficult, but it's real"
"Don't be afraid,
we'll make it out of this mess"
"It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"
Oh, oh
And I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were
ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said,
"Romeo, save me,
I've been feeling so alone"
"I keep waiting for you,
but you never come"
"Is this in my head?
I don't know what to think"
He knelt to the ground and
pulled out a ring, and said,
"Marry me, Juliet,
you'll never have to be alone"
"I love you and that's all I really know"
"I talked to your dad,
go pick out a white dress"
"It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"
Oh, oh, oh

Wait for the signal
and I'll meet you
after dark
I'm like the water when
your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface,
but you cut through like a Kn*fe
And if it was an open-shut case
I never would've known
from that look on your face
Lost in your current
like a priceless wine
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
Life was a willow
and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow,
I could feel you sneaking in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy
or a champion ring
And there was one prize I'd cheat to win
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
Life was a willow
and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow
and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger than
a nineties trend
Wait for the signal,
and I'll meet you after dark
Show me the places where
the others gave you scars
Now, this is an open-shut case
I guess I should've known
from the look on your face
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow

Wreck my plans, that's my man
You know that my train could take you home

You know, this.

This tour, the fact that this is the last city on the US tour...
(Chuckling) is so many things for me because this has been the most extraordinary experience of my entire life.

Being on this tour, getting to share these moments with you.

(Audience cheering)
(fumbles)

I know you're supposed to like play it cool and be like, "I like you guys a little bit".

But genuinely, this has mean't more to me than anything I’ve ever done or been a part of in my life in this tour.

So....

(audience cheering)
(playing soft music on piano)

You know, before this tour, I would go through this process where I’d make an album and call the album something like, like [font color="#ffe"]Red[/font], [font color="#ceff"]Speak Now[/font],
[font color="#ffb"]Fearless[/font], or you know.

And I go, I’d put together a tour called the name of that album, like the [font color="#dbff"]1989 Tour[/font], the [font color="#ceff"]Speak Now Tour[/font].

We do it like that.

And I remember like, "What is it doing?"

"What is this? Why?"

Anyway, So, before this tour, I remember people would come up to me and be like,

"You just put out five albums that you haven’t done tours for".

"So what’s your plan like what are going to do?"

"You're gonna just like,"

"do a show with all the albums in it?"

"And it’ll be like, a three-and-a-half-hour long show?"

(Loud cheering)
(clicks tongue)

And I was like, "Yeah, it’s gonna be called the Eras Tour. See you there".

(Audience cheering)
(playing piano)
(laughs)

So, we are currently in the [font color="#ff"]evermore[/font] era, and that was my second pandemic album that I made and I remember there was.

There was one song specific song where after I wrote it and I thought, "You know, that would be a really cathartic experience,"

"I’m sure, to get to sing champagne problems in a stadium".

So let's do it.

♪♪♪

You booked the night train for a reason,
so you could sit there in this hurt
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
You're not sure which is worse
Because, I dropped your hand
while dancing
Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket
My picture in your wallet
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
Champagne problems
You told your family for a reason
You couldn't keep it in
Your sister splashed out on the bottle,
Now no one's celebrating
Dom Pérignon, you brought it
No crowd of friends applauded
Your hometown skeptics called it
Champagne problems
You had a speech, you're speechless
Love slipped beyond your reaches
And I couldn't give a reason
Champagne problems
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door
November flush and your flannel cure
"This dorm was once a madhouse"
I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"
How evergreen, our group of friends
Don't think we'll say that word again
And soon they'll have
the nerve to deck the halls
That we once walked through
One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready, so I watch you go
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
'Til someone's on their knees and asks you
"She would've made such a lovely bride"
"What a shame
she's f*cked in the head, " they said
But you'll find the real thing instead
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred
And hold your hand while dancing
Never leave you standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket
Her picture in your wallet
You won't remember all my
champagne problems
You won't remember all my
champagne problems

And you've still got it
in your drawer even now

and my wide-eyed gaze
We're singing in the car,
getting lost upstate
Autumn leaves falling down
like pieces into place
And I can picture it after all these days
And I know it's long gone and
that magic's not here no more
And I might be okay
but I'm not fine at all
Oh

on that little town street
You almost ran the red
'cause you were looking over at me
Wind in my hair, I was there
I remember it all too well
Photo album on the counter
Your cheeks were turning red
You used to be a little kid with glasses
in a twin-sized bed
And your mother's telling stories about you
on the tee-ball team
You told me about your past
thinking your future was me
And you were tossing me the car keys,
"f*ck the patriarchy" key chain
on the ground,
we were always skipping town
And I was thinking on the drive down,
any time now
He's gonna say it's love,
you never called it what it was
'Til we were dead and gone
and buried
Check the pulse and come back
swearing it's the same
after three months in the grave

as I reached for you
but all I felt was shame
and you held my lifeless frame

There was nothing else I could do
and I forget about you long enough
to forget why I needed to

on that little town street
We're dancing around the kitchen
in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there
I remember it all too well
And there we are again
when nobody had to know
You kept me like a secret,
but I kept you like an oath
Sacred prayer and we'd swear
to remember it all too well

Well, maybe we got lost in translation
Maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
until you tore it all up
Running scared, I was there
I remember it all too well
And you call me up again
just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name
of being honest
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper
lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
They say all's well that ends well,
but I'm in a new Hell
Every time, you double-cross my mind
You said if we had been closer in age
maybe it would have been fine
And that made me want to die
The idea you had of me, who was she?
A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel
whose shine reflects on you
Not weeping in a party bathroom
Some actress asking me what happened, you
That's what happened, you
You who charmed my dad
with self-effacing jokes
Sipping coffee like you're on
a late-night show
But then he watched me watch the
front door all night, willing you to come
and he said, "It's supposed to be fun
turning "
Time won't fly,
it's like I'm paralyzed by it
I'd like to be my old self again,
but I'm still trying to find it
After plaid shirt days and nights
when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things

and it smells like me
You can't get rid of it

Down the stairs, you were there

And I was never good at telling jokes,
but the punch line goes,
"I'll get older,
but your lovers stay my age"
From when your Brooklyn broke
my skin and bones
I'm a soldier who's returning
half her weight
And did the twin flame bruise
paint you blue?
Just between us,
did the love affair maim you, too?
'Cause in this city's barren cold
I still remember the first fall of snow
And how it glistened as it fell
I remember it all too well
Just between us, did the love
affair maim you

In my imagination, I am like, a woodsy Victorian lady who is wandering through the forest, holding a candlestick holder thing, and collecting feathers to make my own quill
to write on parchment paper It was a whole thing

That was how I pictured myself when I was writing folklore and I was like, "You know, maybe I should do"

"some other things differently on this album," "maybe I should try creating characters,"

"and having these characters fall in love, break up and"

One of my favorite characters that I created is I call it the teenage love triangle

The catalyst character is this teenage boy named James

And he really screws things up with the love of his life, and he has to apologize to her, and try to make it right, and long story short, her name was Betty

I was walking home on broken cobblestones
Just thinking of you
when she pulled up like
a figment of my worst intentions
She said "James, get in, let's drive"
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
I dreamt of you all summer long
Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
and I planned it out for weeks now
But it's finally sinking in
Betty, right now is the last time
I can dream about what happens when
you see my face again

So I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Will you have me? Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the porch
in front of all your stupid friends?
If you kiss me, will it be
just like I dreamed it?
Will it patch your broken wings?

Standing in your cardigan
Kissing in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight

The wedding was charming,
if a little gauche
There's only so far new money goes
They picked out a home
and called it "Holiday House"
Their parties were tasteful,
if a little loud
The doctor had told him to settle down
It must have been her fault
his heart gave out
And they said "There goes
the last great American dynasty"
"Who knows if she never showed up,
what could've been"

(mouthing)

"There goes the maddest woman
this town has ever seen"
"She had a marvelous time
ruining everything"
Rebekah gave up
on the Rhode Island set, forever
Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends
from the city
Filled the pool with champagne
and swam with the big names
And blew through the money
on the boys and the ballet
And losing on card game bets with Dalí
And they said "There goes
the last great American dynasty"
"Who knows if she never showed up,
what could've been"
"There goes the maddest woman
this town has ever seen"
"She had a marvelous time
ruining everything"
They say she was seen on occasion
Pacing the rocks,
staring out at the midnight sea
And in a feud with her neighbor,
she stole his dog
and dyed it key lime green
Fifty years is a long time
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
Free of women with madness,
their men and bad habits
and then it was bought by me
Who knows if she never showed up,
what could've been
"There goes the maddest woman
this town has ever seen"
I had a marvelous time
ruining everything
I had a marvelous time
ruining everything
A marvelous time
ruining everything
A marvelous time

Welcome to the acoustic set!

When I dreamed of the idea of the Eras Tour, I thought it would be really fun to sort of go back through, all these different phases I’ve had musically, because it’s been a little bit of everything,

You’ve been so kind to me, in letting me explore genres, and step outside boxes that are created for us by the music industry, and that’s only because of you that I get to do that, so thank you!

Because it’s just so much fun.

It’s so much fun to get to play, and to get to experiment, and to get to grow as an artist.

But I did want to play a song.

Just to thank the people who liked me.

When I was a little teenager writing songs for my ninth grade talent show.

You and I ended up in the same room
at the same time
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
of a chain reaction of countermoves
To assess the equation of you
Checkmate, I couldn't lose
What if I told you none of it
was accidental?
And the first night that you saw me
Nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork, and then
just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all by dеsign
'cause I'm a mastermind
You see, all the wisеst women
Had to do it this way
'Cause we were born to be the pawn
In every lover's game.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
and the liquor in our cocktails
What if I told you none of it
was accidental?
And the first night that you saw me
I knew I wanted your body
I laid the groundwork, and then
just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all by dеsign
'cause I'm a mastermind
No one wanted to play with me
as a little kid
So I've been scheming
like a criminal ever since
To make them love me
and make it seem effortless
This is the first time
I've felt the need to confess
And I swear...
I'm only cryptic and
Machiavellian 'cause I care
So I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me
Nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork, and then
Saw a wide smirk on your face
You knew the entire time
You knew that I'm a mastermind
and now you're mine
Yeah, all you did was smile
'cause I'm a mastermind


You have absolutely given us everything that you have, tonight!

So I feel guity asking, could we have one more song for your time?

You're talking sh*t for the hell of it
Addicted to betrayal, but you're relevant
You're terrified to look down.
'Cause if you dare, you'll see the glare
of everyone you b*rned just to get there
It's coming back around
And I keep my side of the street clean
You wouldn't know what I mean
'Cause karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair
on the weekend
Karma's a relaxing thought
Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Flexing like a g*dd*mn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that
Spider-boy, king of thieves
Weave your little webs of opacity
My pennies made your crown
Trick me once, trick me twice
Don't you know that cash
ain't the only price?

Ask me why so many fade, but I'm still here
I'm still, I'm still here...

Rattling your ground
Karma's on your scent like a bounty hunter

Step by step from town to town

I'm ready for combat
I say I don't want that
but what if I do?
'Cause cruelty
wins in the movies
I've got 100
thrown-out speeches
I almost said to you
easy they come
easy they go
I jump from the train
I ride off alone
I never grew up
it's getting so old
help me hold onto you
I've been the archer
I've been the prey
who could ever
leave me, darling?
But who could stay?
Dark side
I search for your dark side
but what if I'm all right
right, right, right here?
And I cut off
my nose
just to spite my face
then I hate my reflection
for years and years
I wake in the night
I pace like a ghost
the room is on fire
invisible smoke
and all of my heroes
die all alone
help me hold onto you
I've been the archer
I've been the prey
screaming, who could
ever leave me, darling...
But who could stay?
'Cause they see
right through me
they see right through me
they see right through
can you see right through me?
They see right through
they see right through me
I see right through me
I see right through me
all the king's horses
all the king's men
couldn't put me
together again
'cause all of my enemies
started out friends
help me hold onto you
I've been the archer
I've been the prey
who could ever
leave me, darling...
But who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
You could stay

he said
"let's get out of this town"
drive out of this city
away from the crowds
I thought
"heaven can't help me now"
nothing lasts forever
but this is gonna
take me down
he's so tall
and handsome as hell
he's so bad
but he does it so well
I can see the end
as it begins
my one condition is...
Say you'll remember me
standing in a nice dress
staring at the sunset, babe
red lips and rosy cheeks
say you'll see me again
even if it's just in your
wildest dreams
ah-ah, ha
wildest dreams
ah-ah, ha
you'll see me in hindsight
tangled up with you all night
burning it down
someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
follow you around...
You'll see me in hindsight

I say, "Remember this moment"
In the back of my mind
The time we stood
with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
We were the kings and the queens
and they read off our names
The night you danced like
you knew our lives
Would never be the same
You held your head like a hero
on a history book page
It was the end of a decade
but the start of an age
Long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined
just for me and you
I was screaming,
"Long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered
I said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
on the sidelines
Wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap
for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, "This is absurd"
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves
in ripped up jeans
Got to rule the world
Long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined
just for me and you
I was screaming,
"Long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life
Fighting dragons with you
I was screaming,
"Long live all that look on your face"
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
And you take a moment
And promise me this,
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
Long live
the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life
With you
Long, long live.
The walls we crashed through.
All the candlelight shined
just for me and you
And I was screaming,
"Long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Singing, "Long live all
the mountains we moved"
I had the time of my life
Fighting dragons with you
Long, long live
The look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day,
we will be remembered
