How Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Film Differs from the Concert, Including Which Songs Were Cut

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is coming to a theater near you! 

On Oct. 11, the “Blank Space” singer debuted her new concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Concert Film, at the official premiere in Los Angeles. 

Featuring hits from her last 10 albums, the movie takes fans through Swift’s extensive music catalog, from her debut album to her latest release, Midnights. 

While the movie, which was filmed during the first three nights of her six-night stop in Los Angeles, gives Swifties a front-row seat to Swift’s successful Eras Tour, there are several differences from the actual concert. 

Notably, due to the shorter runtime (the movie clocks in at 2 hours and 45 minutes, while the concert lasts more than 3 hours and 15 minutes), several songs were cut. 

Ahead, here’s everything to know about how the concert film compares to the actual concert, including the key differences. 

Warning: major spoilers ahead for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Concert Film. 

Which songs were cut from the Eras Tour movie setlist?

With the film’s shorter runtime, the biggest question on fans’ minds is: which songs didn't make the cut? When compared to the Los Angeles setlist, the ones that don't seem to be included in the film are: "No Body, No Crime" with Haim, "Long Live," "Wildest Dreams,” The Archer" and "Cardigan."

Since the movie was filmed during the L.A. shows, other songs from the tour that don’t appear include "'Tis the Damn Season," “Nothing New” with Phoebe Bridgers and “Invisible String.” Additionally, the “Seven” interlude was scrapped. 

Was anything else cut from the Eras Tour movie?

Many fans have noted that the transitions between Swift's eras have also been shortened. In particular, it appears that the pianist intro for “Tolerate It” has been cut and the big intro to the Red era has been condensed. 

That being said, other notable transitional moments still appear in the film, including the bewitching moment before “Willow” and Swift’s snake entrance before Reputation. 

What were the surprise songs for the Eras Tour movie?

While filming the concert movie, Swift performed six different surprise songs during her acoustic setlist, including "I Can See You," "Maroon," "Our Song," "You Are in Love," "Death by a Thousand Cuts" and "You're on Your Own, Kid." 

The two that made it in the film are "Our Song" (on guitar) and "You're on Your Own, Kid" (on piano) — fitting choices, as the first song includes her debut album on the setlist and the second song became the unsung anthem of the Eras Tour by inspiring fans to make friendship bracelets with fellow Swifties. 

Were there any musical guests in the Eras Tour movie?

The entire concert is just Swift’s setlist and doesn’t include any of her opening acts such as Gracie Abrams, Gayle and Beabadoobee. Additionally, Swift’s performances of "No Body, No Crime" with Haim and “Nothing New” with Phoebe Bridgers are not featured. 

Though Swift had several musical guests during her tour, including Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner and Ice Spice, none of them are included in the concert film either. 

Is there an end-credits scene in the Eras Tour movie?

Unlike Swift’s previous concert films — such as The 1989 World Tour Live released by Apple Music which featured various interviews and backstage footage — Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Concert Film doesn’t include any bonus material during the course of the movie.

However, the credits, which are set to “Long Live” from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), does include some fun footage of fans and bloopers from the concert.
