Swift described the "Midnights" bonus track as "one of our favorite songs we've done together."

"Mine"

Swift introduced "Mine" as a sort of precursor to "Folklore."

"I talk a lot about how 'Folklore' was the first time I was writing in characters and stuff, but actually 'Speak Now,' I was inventing scenarios that definitely weren't happening in my life," she said onstage.

Swift said she relates to "Speak Now" more as an adult, describing her songwriting process at the time as "cinematic" and using a lyric from "Mine" as an example: "There's a drawer of my things at your place."

"Those are things that I was not partaking in at 18 and 19 when I wrote these songs, but it's been such a privilege and such a treat to go back and rerecord them," she continued. "It's really crazy to go back and listen to these songs that at the time were fantasy but now feel really relatable to me."

"Gold Rush"

Before performing "Gold Rush" as the first surprise song in Philadelphia, Swift clarified an oft-debated lyric: "I see me padding across your wooden floors / With my Eagles T-shirt hanging from the door."

"I saw some people wondering if it was the band the Eagles or the team the Eagles," Swift told the crowd. "And I love the band the Eagles, but guys, like, come on, I'm from Philly. Of course it's the team."

Swift grew up in West Reading, Pennsylvania before she relocated to Nashville as a teenager.

"Come Back…Be Here"

Swift performed the "Red" deluxe track in honor of her opener and friend, Phoebe Bridgers.

"I take requests if they are polite and decently worded," she told the crowd.

"Forever & Always"

Insider previously ranked "Forever & Always" as Swift's 12th-best breakup song of all time.

"This Love"

"This Love" is one of two songs from "1989" that Swift has rerecorded and released ahead of "1989 (Taylor's Version)," which has yet to be announced.

"Hey Stephen"

Swift said "Hey Stephen" was another request, presumably from her rumored boyfriend Matty Healy, who previously shared the song on his Instagram story.

"The Best Day"

"Maroon" is one of several songs in Swift's discography that mention New Jersey's next-door neighbor ("And I chose you / The one I was dancing with in New York").

"Holy Ground"

In the first verse of "Holy Ground," Swift sings, "I was reminiscing just the other day / While having coffee all alone, and Lord, it took me away / Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time."

"False God"

Swift previously performed "False God," which references both New York City and its West Village, on "Saturday Night Live" in 2019.

For her second song, Swift performed "Clean" on piano, which she previously sang in Texas.

"I didn't really mess this one up badly or embarrassingly, but I did play it before, and I thought I could've done it in a higher key," she told the crowd. "This is a song that I felt like, just based on what I've seen from you guys, that you might want to hear."

"I Wish You Would"

While playing the "1989" deep cut in Chicago, Illinois, Swift exclaimed, "Oh my God, you know it!" as the crowd sang along.
