Taylor Swift Plays ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Songs Live for the First Time at Paris Eras Tour Show


Taylor Swift debuted songs from new album 'The Tortured Poets Department' at the European opener of her Eras Tour in Paris.

At Taylor Swift ‘s Paris concert on Thursday night — the European kickoff of the record-breaking tour and her first show since the album’s release — the pop icon debuted several of the new songs live at La Défense Arena, starting with “But Daddy I Love Him.” She then sang “So High School” and “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” standing atop a glass-plated block that moved around the stage. “The Tortured Poets Department” earned critical praise as well, with Variety ‘s Chris Willman calling it “audacious” and “transfixing.” He wrote that the album “gives everyone a full dose of the never-getting-over-it Taylor that no one really wanted to get over. As breakup albums go, it’s a doozy, as they would have said back in Clara Bow’s day — an unapologetically dramatic (if often witty) record that will be soundtracking untold millions of tragic rifts to come.”
