Every New Taylor Swift Song That Could Be On Her Disney+ Eras Tour Release

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version), the streaming version of the singer-songwriter’s concert movie, will feature four additional acoustic performances that didn’t make the theatrical or digital release cuts. In the wake of Taylor Swift’s 13th Grammy win, Disney announced that it had secured exclusive streaming rights to The Eras Tour movie. So far, the limited theatrical release of The Eras Tour broke box office records by earning upwards of $261.6 million worldwide. Even though Swifties propelled The Eras Tour to record-setting success in theaters, the musician’s fans are incredibly loyal repeat viewers.

Filmed at multiple nights of the musician’s Los Angeles shows, the concert movie celebrates the “eras” of Taylor Swift’s musical career by spotlighting her first 10 studio albums. But that doesn’t mean every song made The Eras Tour movie’s theatrical cut. Like the for-rent version of the film, the streaming release will add songs back into the mix; the Disney+ Eras Tour boasts “cardigan” and four undisclosed acoustic songs. The mystery tracks will be selections from the show’s surprise songs section. With “Our Song” and “You’re on Your Own, Kid” making the original cut, that leaves a few options.

10 “I Can See You”

A song from Swift’s third re-recorded album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), “I Can See You” is a catchy indie-rock tune. Notably, the song is a so-called vault track — something that didn’t make the original cut of Speak Now. The “I Can See You” music video made waves when Swift premiered it during The Eras Tour, especially since it co-stars Joey King, Presley Cash, and Taylor Lautner, an ex-turned-friend of Swift’s. With Speak Now not getting as much screen time as other eras, “I Can See You” is definitely a contender.

9 “Maroon”

A track from Swift’s tenth original studio album, Midnights, “Maroon” is a gorgeous synth-pop hit. However, during one of her Los Angeles concerts, Swift performed an equally beautiful, stripped-down rendition of the song. Interestingly, Swift has performed “Maroon” three times during The Eras Tour, so it’s clearly a fan (and artist) favorite. Since Midnights secured Swift her 13th Grammy and record-setting fourth Album of the Year win, she may want to give the album some extra love in the streaming release of The Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift made waves directing All Too Well: The Short Film, but that’s not the only video that makes her feature film directorial debut exciting.

8 “You Are in Love”

Hailing from Swift’s fifth studio album, the Grammy-winning 1989, “You Are in Love” was a song the artist penned in honor of Jack Antonoff and Lena Dunham’s relationship. Antonoff, who’s become Swift’s go-to musical collaborator, has since broken up with Girls creator Dunham, but that doesn’t take away from the song’s poignant lyrics. Even though 1989 (Taylor’s Version) dropped relatively recently, it seems unlikely that “You Are in Love” will make the streaming cut when its up against such fierce competition.

7 “Death by a Thousand Cuts”

The Eras Tour might become Disney+’s biggest movie of 2024. If that happens, it would be a real shame for the film to leave out Taylor Swift’s mega-hit “Death by a Thousand Cuts.” Like “Cruel Summer,” the Lover track is a true fan favorite. On TikTok, the song’s unmistakable, fast-paced chorus has become a viral sound clip, only augmenting the popularity of “Death by a Thousand Cuts.” While the original version of the song is drenched in synth sounds, the acoustic version gives the poetic-yet-grounded lyrics a chance to really shine.

Taylor Swift’s 8 Documentaries & Concert Movies, Ranked (Including Eras Tour)

From concert films to her Netflix original feature Miss Americana, here is a ranking of Taylor Swift’s documentaries, including The Eras Tour movie.

6 “Dress”

In some instances, The Eras Tour cut the wrong songs. Obviously, condensing the three-hour show into a theatrical package and selecting just two surprise songs was a tall order. Nonetheless, the decision to cut “Dress,” a standout track on Swift’s Reputation album, was a misstep. With Reputation (Taylor’s Version) waiting in the wings, it would make sense to beef up the Eras Tour selection of songs from that record. Not only is the Reputation “era” of the concert movie one of the most thrilling sections, but the lust-filled lyrics of “Dress” add a new dimension to Swift’s catalog.

5 “Exile”

Even though featured artist Bon Iver didn’t join Taylor Swift on stage for the acoustic rendition of “exile,” a track off Swift’s Grammy-winning folklore album, she still played the song at one of her LA shows. The minimal-yet-cinematic indie-folk ballad is one of Swift’s best collaborations. However, the duet isn’t necessarily a shoo-in for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version). Not only is “exile” one of the more down-tempo selections left, but Swift co-wrote it with her ex, Joe Alwyn — and she’s already cut other Joe-related songs from The Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift has a history of inviting surprise guests to her concerts. However, she didn’t include any in Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Movie.

4 “I Know Places”

Compared to “You Are In Love,” Swift’s “I Know Places” is the 1989 track with the better odds of making it onto the streaming release of The Eras Tour. A song about the difficulties associated with having to be public about one’s love life, “I Know Places” compares Swift and her then-lover to foxes — animals who use all their cunning to escape the traps of the paparazzi. Even though it’s a condemnation of media circuses, “I Know Places” remains relatable to anyone who’s felt the need to hide a relationship and that makes it a fan-loved song.

3 “King of My Heart”

“King of My Heart” is one of Reputation‘s more intimate tracks. Again, with the re-recording of Swift’s sixth studio album nearing, it’s possible the musician will want to include multiple Reputation tracks on the streaming release of The Eras Tour. On the other hand, the other acoustic surprise songs off the record are, arguably, bigger hits, which definitely affects the tune’s odds. Not to mention, “King of My Heart” is another song that’s inextricably linked with Alwyn, so Swift might not want to add the track to the movie’s streaming release.

2 “New Romantics”

Besides “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” only one other surprise song feels like a certain choice: “New Romantics.” Originally, the song didn’t make the cut for Swift’s 1989. When it cropped up on the deluxe version of the album, it became one of the musician’s biggest hits among Swifties. Like “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” “New Romantics” pulsates with synthesizers and other pop hallmarks, which make it a fun choice for an acoustic performance. Rippling with energy and an infectious joy, “New Romantics” should’ve made the original 1989 cut — and it should make The Eras Tour too.

1 “New Year’s Day”

A piano-driven ballad, the acoustic leanings of “New Year’s Day” stand in stark contrast to the rest of Swift’s Reputation album. The only thing holding this beloved song back is that it faces steep competition from other Reputation-era tracks, especially if Taylor Swift plans to spread the love between albums. Intimate and story-driven, the final track off of the artist’s sixth studio album also feels like the right note to end on when it comes to Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version).
