Taylor Swift Adds Repeat To Eras Tour Song Cycle
Taylor Swift is relaxing the “surprise song” rule of her Eras Tour music roster, the superstar announced during a Melbourne concert yesterday. Repeats will be allowed.

Fans might expect another Era Tour song line-up change when Swift’s upcoming album The Tortured Poets Department arrives in April.
