Taylor Swift said so long to London (single tear) last year after her relationship with Joe Alwyn came to an end after six years. However, Miss Americana is finally heading back to the UK this summer with the European leg of her epic Eras Tour.
With shows lined up in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, London and Dublin this summer, a lot of UK Swifties will finally get the chance to witness the spectacular Eras Tour for themselves.
For most Swifties, the Eras Tour is something akin to a religious experience. For long-time fans, it is a chance for us to relive each and every one of Swift’s musical eras — and, by extension, revisit our younger selves. It’s all very profound and meaningful, actually!
But let’s face it — no matter how much you may adore Tay Tay, this is a very, very long show. And unless you literally refrain from drinking any water all day (please stay hydrated, people) you’ll probably need to take a break at some point during the show. Well, we’ve got you covered.
There may be no such thing as a bad Taylor Swift song — but I believe that some are worse than others. And the statistics back me up. According to Spotify, there are certain tracks that are just — well — a little more skippable than others. And so, we bring you: the most-skipped tracks on the Eras Tour setlist. Plan your loo breaks accordingly…
“You Need to Calm Down”, Lover
Similar to Lover’s cringe-worthy first single, “ME!”, “You Need to Calm Down” is a little too corny, a little too juvenile for many fans. With its marching band feel and its laboured chorus, it’s simply not one of her strongest tracks. However, it is the fourth track in the tour, so it’s unlikely you’ll need a break at this point. However, I stand by the fact that this is one bop that is missable.
