48 Blank Space

1989 Era

“Blank Space” is a fun number that utilizes the stage to depict a car on one of the screens, which Swift’s dancers destroy with golf clubs. However, “Blank Space” is less impactful when the highlights of the era are other songs. Additionally, some of the music video’s elements are turned into neon light props, a departure from the classic aesthetics.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is coming to Disney+, and the experience of watching the concert movie on streaming will be different than in theaters.

47 I Can See You

Speak Now Era

"I Can See You" makes its way into the movie as part of the post-credits "Acoustic Collection." Swift highlights "I Can See You" as a song that she has never before performed live, making it an excellent addition. However, the song does sound better with some additional instrumentals, but the fans are still thrilled to sing along.

In a live concert, the acoustic set only includes two songs. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) includes a post-credits scene with six acoustic songs, comprising footage from different performances.

46 Bad Blood

1989 Era

The “Bad Blood” music video combines the aesthetics of several sci-fi movies. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough time for a major costume change to lean into the best parts of "Bad Blood." The flames shooting from parts of the set are great, but even Swift slipping into a leather trench coat would have made the performance so much more fun.

45 We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

Red Era

Swift wears a shimmering red and black ombré leotard for a number that falls short of the days when it was performed with a whole circus troupe.

While “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” is loads of fun, it doesn’t do much to set itself apart from the first song of the Red set. Swift wears a shimmering red and black ombré leotard for a number that falls short of the days when it was performed with a whole circus troupe. The backup dancers at least bring plenty of campy drama.

44 Mastermind

Midnights Era

Midnights is at the end of the Eras Tour because it is the most recent era; if it were not, “Mastermind” probably wouldn’t be in the show. The staging works for what the song is, with the dancers moving like clockwork over a chessboard stage. However, it has the disadvantage of falling between “Bejeweled” and “Karma.”

43 I Knew You Were Trouble

Red Era

“I Knew You Were Trouble,” like “Never Getting Back Together,” must make do with what is set up with the introduction of the Red era. Which song is “better” performed honestly comes down to a matter of personal preference. However, “I Knew You Were Trouble” uses the fog machines well for some dramatic flair.

42 Tolerate It

Evermore Era

The evermore era simply doesn’t have as many showstoppers; “no body, no crime is still missing from the Eras Tour movie. The song “tolerate it” has heartbreaking lyrics but is one of the slower moments of the concert. However, the Eras team makes a valiant and effective effort to make it concert-worthy, with Swift and one of the dancers acting out a relevant scene.

41 Archer

Lover Era

Taylor Swift performs "The Archer" in The Eras Tour movie on Disney+.

"Archer" is a moment of soft awe at the end of the Lover set; Swift performs the song alone on stage. Her choreography is great and her disappearing into a supernova-like graphic is a nice touch. However, it is a less fitting end to Lover than "Lover" itself, which was still a gentle finale.

40 ...Ready For It?

Reputation Era

"Ready For It" is the on-the-nose (not in a bad way) intro to Reputation. Swift is ed by a retinue of dancers, all in serpent-decorated costumes, and the moving levels of the stage are well-used to add some dynamism to the choreography. However, a lot of elements are reused for "Don't Blame Me," which is also a better song.

39 Midnight Rain

Midnights Era

Midnight Rain during the Eras Tour

Another song from Midnights that probably won't be in the next concert is "Midnight Rain." The effects are lovely, incorporating glittery rain graphics and umbrellas, but it doesn't stand out amid the Midnights set. It does, however, get credit for Swift's change into her blue bodysuit and the dancers' solo moments.
