Taylor Swift has performed over 60 songs throughout her Eras Tour concerts, from Cruel Summer to Delicate to Blank Space and Cardigan, among the many other songs from her extensive catalog. This was done in part with the singer's surprise song sets during the concerts, in which she rotated songs from her catalog that were not part of the main setlists.
The singer has now wrapped up her Eras Tour, with the final show held at the BC Palace in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on December 8, 2024. The singer's final setlist included the surprise song mashup of A Place In This World and New Romantics from Taylor Swift and 1989.
Her other surprise song was also a mashup, featuring Long Live, New Year’s Day, and The Manuscript from Speak Now, Reputation, and The Tortured Poets Department.
The singer has however never played some songs from her catalog. These songs include That’s When, Ronan, and Soon You’ll Get Better, among others. These songs are briefly explored in the sections below.

Out of these songs, Taylor Swift herself has explained why she can't perform Soon You'll Get Better feat The Chicks, stating to her fans in a live stream:
"We as a family decided to put this on the album. and it's something I'm so proud of, but it's just really hard. I can't sing it. It's hard to just emotionally deal with that song. You'll understand what I mean in a couple hours"
She later added during a SiriusXM Town Hall after performance Q&A in 2019:
"That's a song I don't know if I'll ever play it live. It's just really difficult for me. It was hard to write. It's hard to sing. It's hard to listen to for me, but sometimes music is like that. Sometime's it's not just about stuff that was pleasant to feel."
Some of the other songs on the list, the ones from her album, are on difficult topics such as unrequited love and heartbreak. Others, such as the Christmas songs, would not fit with the main setlists of the tour, which explore the different studio albums of the singer's careers.
