Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has finally arrived in the UK. After thrilling Edinburgh and Liverpool next on the list will be Cardiff, London, and Dublin and fans can't wait to see what she's got up her sleeve for those shows. One moment that fans are excited to see for themselves, and is a signature part of the Eras tour, is the ‘surprise song’ section when Taylor strips it down to just her guitar or piano and surprises the crowd at each venue with songs just for them.

At first Taylor declared that until she "messes it up" she will only perform each surprise song once. But she subsequently declared that she had made the decision to play anything she wants whenever she wants. And with lots of her performances in the UK still to come, we have taken a look at all of the surprise songs she has sung so far, as reported by CapitalFM.

Taylor Swift surprise songs: Every surprise song that Taylor has performed on the Eras tour so far

Taylor will be playing two surprise acoustic songs per show. After 66 dates in 2023 Taylor ended up playing an extra 124 songs not including repeats or songs that weren't her own.
