Taylor Swift's sold-out Eras Tour is in full swing, and it's already off to such an incredible and enchanting start.

And since this is the ERAS tour, Taylor performs so many amazing hits from all of her albums, and each night, she performs two surprise songs — one on guitar and one on piano.

So, waiting to see what the two surprise songs for each concert will be has become a real bonding experience with the internet as everyone waits patiently to see what songs she'll perform — and then, we all cross them off our personal lists of songs we NEED to hear live at our own shows.

Not to be dramatic, but losing "Clean" and "Death by a Thousand Cuts" was real rough for my own little list.

it is so funny that my entire tl appears out of nowhere at 10:30pm est (eras at standard time) to weigh in on the surprise songs. a swiftie could be at a wedding and they will run to the bathroom to see what bullshit taylor is up to at the end of the catwalk

i do feel like we deserve a redo on tim mcgraw as a surprise song because we didn’t realize it was a surprise song, we thought it was the debut set….

Tweeting the surprise songs every night is so funny because half the replies are “thank god” or “I’m literally going to end up in federal prison, I’m so devastated right now” there’s no in between. pic.twitter.com/aoghvOltt5

love taylor playing a debut song as a surprise song but you know her ass is NEVER playing “picture to burn” because swifties would 10000% be screaming the original lyrics at the top of our lungs

I think we can all agree:

1. Clean/DBATC
2. The Great War/YOYOK
3. TOSOD/Coney Island

Are the most powerful surprise song duos

I don’t think Taylor Swift understands there’s not a single song of hers she could get on that stage and sing that we wouldn’t know like ma’am I learned all of the words to I’d Lie from a YouTube lyric video in 2007 and haven’t looked back since –
