As well as a handful of songs, one speech and one interlude has also been cut from the Eras Tour concert film.

What songs got cut from The Eras Tour movie setlist?

In total, six songs have been cut from the Eras Tour concert film. 'The Archer', 'Cardigan' and 'Wildest Dreams' do not feature in the film. Neither does ''tis the damn season', which was replaced in the setlist during the Los Angeles shows when filming took place. However, 'no body, no crime ft. HAIM' – the song that replaced 'tis the damn season' – doesn't appear either.

The live performance of 'Long Live' does not feature in the movie, but the Taylor's Version of the song does play over the end credits.

'No Body, No Crime'
''Tis the damn season'
'Long Live'
'Cardigan'
'Wildest Dreams'

The 'seven' interlude, which plays just before the Folklore section, is also not included in the movie. During the actual Eras Tour show, the lyrics to 'seven' are spoken by Taylor as a poem.

And, if we're taking the surprise songs that she performed on the nights the concert was recorded into account, 'I Can See You', 'Maroon', 'You Are In Love' and 'Death By A Thousand Cuts' also did not make the cut.

What interludes got cut from The Eras Tour movie?

The full interlude reads: "If you wish to romanticise the woman I became / then say you'll remember me / standin' in a nice dress / Starin' at the sunset. Or you could begin at the beginning / And in that case..." Taylor then recites the lyrics to 'seven' before beginning the Folklore section.

What speeches got cut from The Eras Tour movie?

Additionally, fans have reported that the speech Taylor usually gives just before her performance of 'Betty' has also been cut from the film.

The speech, which varies from show-to-show, features Taylor explaining how she loves the idea of men apologising for things, and how that played into the narrative of James apologising to Betty in the song.

What are the two surprise songs in the Eras Tour movie?

The two surprise songs that made the cut for the concert film are: 'Our Song' and 'You're On Your Own, Kid'

With the inclusion of 'Our Song', the Eras Tour film now officially features songs from all 10 of Taylor's studio albums. There is still no specific section for her debut album on the tour.

The inclusion of 'You're On Your Own, Kid' also makes Midnights the most represented album on the movie setlist, with 8 songs.

The 'dive' transition that Taylor does after performing the two surprise songs has also remained in the concert film.

Who gets the '22' hat in the Eras Tour concert film?

At every show, Taylor gives away the hat she's wearing when she performs '22' – and the adorable moment has been kept in the concert film.

The lucky fan who has been chosen for the moment is Bianka Bryant, the daughter of Kobe and Vanessa Bryant who accepted the hat from Taylor on Night 1 of her Los Angeles run.
