6 New Details From Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Eras Set From ‘The Final Show’

Taylor Swift teaches fans something new all the time. With the release of The Eras Tour: The Final Show – which pairs with Taylor Swift: The End of an Era – The Tortured Poets Department comes beaming to screens in glorious high definition. The film chronicles the last time she took the stage for this concert on Dec. 8, 2024, in Vancouver, B.C., and there’s plenty to take in.

Starting with the European leg of her record-breaking trek in May of 2024, Swift switched up a lot of ingredients from the previous dates. She rearranged the order of the eras, blended Folklore and Evermore together, cut songs, picked entirely different outfits for the sister albums, 1989 and acoustic section, included the gold Reputation suit in Miami, added different variations of other costumes across the others and most impressively, incorporated her 11th studio album as a brand new set.

“Oh my God, that was a risk, that could have gone so bad. There was the danger that it could have felt like we had sort of shoehorned something in or that people didn’t like the new show as much as the old show,” Swift explains in The End of an Era. 

But she didn’t need to worry. “When we brought out this new show in Paris, it was so rewarding because all of that secrecy and all of that working done during our only time off paid off so much because the fans were so excited,” she shares in the project. “It was such a dynamic new addition.”

Of course, most of the changes — and other minute details — can easily be charted in crisp clarity by comparing the Vancouver, B.C., film to the nights she filmed in August of 2023 in Los Angeles, seen on the movie’s previous iteration, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. Now, though, fans have more than their memories of The Tortured Poets Department.

And yes, we’ve seen the grainy livestreams, photos and even experienced it in person on night one at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. (Note: This writer is short and was seated on the floor). Yet, there are still things missed that are made clear. Here are the new details we learned about TTPD. Plus a bonus: how the “Florida!!!” performance came together in London (which then transitioned to Miami for a few nights).
