Taylor Swift’s ‘Erases’ Tour: Ever-changing performances and heartwarming traditions

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is making a huge impact on fans with its ever-changing performances. At the Paris leg of the tour, held at La Défense Arena on May 9, Swift presented fans with a fresh show featuring songs from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. She also added a unique touch by wearing a custom Ashish Gupta T-shirt that read “This Is Not Taylor’s Version” during the song “22.”

One of the tour’s traditions that Swift maintained was gifting hats to special audience members during her performance of “22.” On Friday night in Paris, she delighted fans by wearing a shirt with the text “I BET YOU THINK ABOUT ME,” referencing her duet with Chris Stapleton from Red (Taylor’s Version).

Swift’s performance of “22” and the accompanying hat-gifting moment have become beloved highlights of her concerts. This tradition has included touching moments with fans such as gifting hats to young girls with cancer and Kobe Bryant’s daughter Bianka. On Friday night in Paris, Swift continued this tradition by sharing the hat with a lucky audience member.
