Taylor Swift quite literally never stops. She has multiple re-recordings of her past albums in the works, she’s still on her blockbuster tour, new music comes out frequently from her, and, if that wasn’t enough, she is slated to direct a feature film.
So, with all that being said, here’s a nifty guide to help you keep up with all Swift's eras (past, present, and re-recorded) as well as appearances as she continues to dominate pop music.
The Eras Tour - 2024
Taylor Swift has been on the Eras Tour since March of 2023, and it will come to a close at the end of 2024. After completing the first leg of her United States tour – which saw her announce both the re-recording of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and the re-release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) – the singer went on to her South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. Now, she’s hitting North America (again) to close out what has been a historic blockbuster tour.
Since Swift's Reputation tour, she released Lover, folklore, evermore, Fearless (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version), and Midnights. And since the start of the Eras Tour, she has dropped Speak Now (Taylor's Version),1989 (Taylor's Version), and The Tortured Poets Department, so there's a lot of ground to cover.
On opening night, her set was three hours long, it featured 44 songs, per Variety, and it covered every album she's ever released (however, her first album is only occasionally featured). Following the release of TTPD she switched the concert up by adding a set for her eleventh album, taking out a few songs and mashing the folklore and evermore sets together. She also picks two new surprise songs for every show, and she occasionally switches up the setlist (like she did after she and Joe Alwyn broke up ) making it so her tour truly covers the majority of her discography.
As mentioned, the tour will wrap up at the end of this year with her final shows set to take place in Toronto and Vancouver.
The Official Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book - November 29
As The Eras Tour entered its – for lack of a better term – last era, Taylor Swift announced The Eras Tour Book.
This big coffee table book is exclusive to Target, and it will cost $39.99. Swifties, including myself, can fight for the book in stores starting November 29 (which is Black Friday), and it will be available online starting November 30.
With that said, let’s get into the details of it! The book is 256 pages long and features over 500 photos. Along with that, Swift wrote reflections for it and there are some behind-the-scenes images as well. So, it sounds like the perfect Christmas gift for all of us who want to “remember this moment” that was The Eras Tour.
Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology - November 29
The book is not the only Target exclusive Swift is releasing on Black Friday. Months after The Tortured Poets Department debuted she’s also finally dropping physical copies of the full album, The Anthology.
This drop includes CD and vinyl versions of TTPD’s full tracklist that will retail for $17.99 and $59.99, respectively.
Notably, the 35 tracks on these will include songs like “So High School,” “thanK you aIMee,” “The Bolter” and more that haven’t been available on vinyl or CD before. Plus, there will be four acoustic bonus songs.
So, this exclusive drop will be exciting for Swifties as it will give them the opportunity to finally own The Tortured Poets Department in full.
Reputation (Taylor’s Version) - Original Album In 2017 - TBD
We’ve already gotten Red, Fearless, Speak Now and 1989 in Taylor’s Versions in Swift's quest to reclaim her music after Scooter Braun bought her catalog. She’s also created Lover, folklore, evermore, Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department, which are not part of the re-releases. Reputation would be the most recent album -- among those slated to be re-recorded -- to get released again.
The 2017 album was a sharp turn from Swift’s earlier body of work. It’s pop-oriented with more influence from Game of Thrones than the country music genre. The overarching themes of the album address Swift’s relationship with fame and the overwhelming media attention she’s received.
It features hits like “Look What You Made Me Do” and “Delicate” as well as many other bangers like “Getaway Car” and “Don’t Blame Me.” So far, we’ve gotten a few tastes of this album, because shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty used Rep (TV) tracks during episodes. However, other than that and Swift’s Rep-coded outfits, there’s no sign of when the album will come out.
But that hasn’t stopped Swifties from clowning. From freaking out during the Eras movie premiere about Rep, to thinking an announcement might happen during her 100th concert, fans have been hoping for an announcement for a very, very long time. However, if we’ve learned anything when it comes to this album it’s that “there will be no explanation, just Reputation.”
While there’s no confirmed information about when Reputation (Taylor’s Version) will be re-released, there are tons of theories, and Swifties believe it will be the next album dropped. So, keep your fingers crossed and get “...Ready For It”.
Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) - Original Album In 2006 - TBD
This brings us to the album that started it all in 2006, Swift’s self-titled album. This is a full-blown country album and the record that made the singer a household name.
Taylor Swift features classics like “Our Song,” “Tim McGraw” and “Teardrops on My Guitar.” Personally, I can’t wait to hear this album re-recorded because Swift was only 16 when it came out. Even on Fearless and Red (Taylor’s Versions), you can hear how her voice has grown, and I can’t wait to see that growth when she re-releases her debut album.
Sadly, despite what seemed like a tease at the Golden Globes with her green dress and some debut-coded surprise song choices, there have really been no hints about Taylor Swift. This has led Swifties to believe that it will be her final re-release after Reputation (Taylor’s Version).
Taylor Swift's Feature Film - TBD
It was announced that Taylor Swift would be directing her first feature film in December of 2022. This came after she got lots of praise and acclaim for her short film All Too Well. Along with that, she's also directed the majority of her music videos in recent years, so clearly, she loves to be behind the camera too.
Taylor Swift's Best Music Videos, Ranked Including You Belong With Me, Blank Space And More
There are no known details about Swift's movie, other than it will be distributed by Searchlight Pictures. However, Swifties have so many theories about it, with lots of them pointing to her song "Last Great American Dynasty" as the perfect source material for a movie.
However, while we don't know much, considering the actor's long list of A-List friends, like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sadie Sink, Selena Gomez, and so many more, it's safe to say that she will have a stellar cast for the film.
As more news develops about her upcoming feature, we'll be sure to keep you posted.
As all Swifties know, Taylor Swift is always up to something. So, even after the Eras Tour ends and her final re-records come out, we will still be able to expect more from her, and you better believe it’ll be “Bejeweled.”
