Experience Taylor Swift’s Emotional ‘Tortured Poets’ Concert in Paris: Full Setlist Revealed!
Taylor Swift, the 34-year-old pop sensation, made a grand return to her global Eras Tour on Thursday, May 9th, after a two-month hiatus. The tour’s European leg kicked off at La Defense Arena in Paris, where Swift wowed the audience with new costumes, dance numbers, visuals, special effects, and, most importantly, songs.
During her break, Swift dropped her latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ which stormed straight to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, shattering multiple records along the way.
