Taylor Swift But what has made fans talkable this time is her song selection. In addition to her set list, some of the programs have as many as 4 or 5 unexpected songs added. The timing and choice of songs this time around were very interesting for many followers.
Swift’s feud with Braun started in 2019 when Braun purchased Big Machine Label Group, her former record company predecessor, at a purchase price of over $300 million, which included the rights to master recordings for her first six albums. This resulted in Swift starting out on publishing the masters for the first six albums under “Taylor’s Version” banner.
On Tuesday, coincidentally Braun’s birthday and just one day after he announced his retirement from music management, there was a special mashup performance by Swift that seemed like a diss track: “I Forgot About You” (of existence) and “this is why we can’t have nice things.” At such a crucial moment these two particular songs just came together making fans think they were chosen to throw indirect punches at Braun.
The timing and sequence of tracks themselves were enough to make any fan believe that she had only one target in mind—Braun even if Swift herself didn’t name him explicitly. Since then it has become public knowledge that Swift and Braun are still embroiled in a long-running tussle between them because it led her into remaking some of her earlier works so she could get back ownership back by re-recording them.
Apart from displaying a wealth musical catalog at Eras tour Taylor Swift also adroitly touches on personal relationships as well as professional ones by choosing songs. With fans going through each setlist looking for hidden meanings or messages these concerts usually become a hot topic for discussion and speculation.
As Swifty carries on with her tour, every surprising song she chooses will be eagerly waited upon whether it seems like another clash from yesterday events. However intentional or not, these decisions definitely made her performance more captivating.
