Taylor Swift Strips Down to Sparkly Bra and Hotpants for Onstage Quick-Change During Paris Eras Tour Show
Taylor Swift is back in action!
The singer, 34, kicked off the European leg of her Eras Tour in Paris on May 9 in a number of new outfits (and introduced a new setlist, of course), but one outfit stood out from the rest.
During the newest section of the show — for the Tortured Poets Department era — Swift slipped off her white dress after “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” in an interlude. While playing along with her dancers, Swift shimmied the dress down (petulantly, might we add, in a masterful bit of acting) to reveal a sparkly bra top and hotpants.
The “Anti-Hero” singer is only in the revealing outfit for moments before she then slips a gold jacket over top for the rest of the interlude — and then launches into “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.”
The entire bit feels very Old Hollywood, including the graphics on her screens, and if we didn’t know any better, we would have guessed the next song coming may have been “Clara Bow,” based on the staging and the costumes. Alas, it was the fan-favorite “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” that marked the end of the TTPD era of the setlist.
At her Paris show, Swift opened with the Lover section — but skipped “The Archer.” From there, the Grammy winner went into Fearless followed by Red, performing the sections in a different order than during the previous tour legs. Another nod to the setlist switch-ups? Swift sported a t-shirt that read, “This Is Not Taylor’s Version,” while performing “22.”
Next came the Speak Now section, but she removed “Long Live,” which was initially added following the July 2023 release of the album’s rerecorded Taylor’s Version.
She then moved on to Reputation, followed by a combined Folklore and Evermore — ditching “The 1,” “The Last Great American Dynasty,” “Tolerate It” and “‘Tis the Damn Season.” 1989, TTPD and Midnights rounded out the show.
The singer made the comments while celebrating the 100th show of the tour.
Taylor Swift is thinking about the end of her Eras era.
During her Eras Tour stop in Liverpool on Thursday, the singer got reflective. The show was the 100th date on the massive worldwide tour, and Swift took the opportunity to talk about the end of the tour for the first time.
“I think a lot of people are like, well, how are you going to celebrate the 100th show?” she told the screaming crowd. “And for me, the celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is gonna end in December. Like, that’s it.”
