aylor Swift was back with more surprises as she took to the stage for the second night at the Paris La Defense Arena, in France on Friday.
The global megastar, 34, sent fans wild on Thursday night as her £1.4billion Eras Tour returned with a new edited setlist and costumes to go with her newly released album The Tortured Poets Department.
With over 30 songs to choose for, it seems fans are going to be left guessing each night as to which tracks the singer will perform as she debuted more new ones during the three hour show.
Taylor looked sensational as she flashed her toned physiques in a sparkly orange crop top and purple skirt co-ord as part of the 1989 era.
Strutting her stuff during the high-energy performance, the star wowed as she completed the outfit with a pair of matching quirky boots, one orange and one purple.
Elsewhere she wowed in a shimmery gold mini dress which she paired with gold sparkly cowboy boots and a matching sparkly guitar.
She also showed off a new Red 22 T-shirt which read: ‘I Bet You Think About Me?’ as she bent down at the side of the stage to meet a young fan.
Known for her surprise songs, Taylor played more new tracks off her latest release as she treated fans to My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys and a mash up of Is It Over Now? and Out Of The Woods.
Always one to pay attention to detail, Taylor strutted out in a white taffeta Vivienne Westwood dress with a corseted bodice, dramatic hip draping and her own lyrics ‘I love you, it’s ruining my life’ scrawled down the skirt.
Before performing The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, a track from her new album based on her romance with Matty Healy, she wrapped a matching white trench coat around her.
Embracing her inner princess she wowed in a stunning lilac gown for Enchanted, the only song she is now performing off her album Speak Now.
Fans went wild once again for the jam-packed show as they took to Twitter to share their joy.

Another questioned: ‘Did I really experienced is it over now x ootw and my boy only breaks his favourite toys live? Am I dreaming? send me help cause that was surprise songs perfection in its purest’.

‘we officially won with tonight’s surprise songs is it over now mashup with out of the woods, then my boy!!! night 2 wins’; ‘LITERALLY WHAT IS LIFE RN THAT WAS A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE’; ‘truly will never get over this #ParisTSTheErasTour’.
Taylor is set to perform four huge nights at the Paris arena and then will be heading to Stockholm, Lisbon, Madrid and Lyon before taking to the stage in the UK.
To make space for songs from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, the hitmaker has cut several favourites from her three-hour set list.
Fans have taken to X to share their dismay at the changes which sees favourites including Tolerate It, Long Live, The Archer and The 1 replaced with songs from her latest album which met lukewarm reviews.
One person wrote: ‘Woke up to the worst news that Taylor Swift has cut Long Live from her set. I walked down the aisle to that song last month. Please do it in London.’
Another said: ‘Taylor has cut songs from Evermore in favour of songs from her new album, WHICH I DO NOT LIKE.’
Ticket sale revenues are projected to hit around $1.4 billion which would make ‘The Eras’ the most profitable tour ever ahead of Sir Elton John’s lengthy farewell tour which spanned several years and brought in around $939 million.
The show comes hours after Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce geared up to make his acting debut as he filmed for new Ryan Murphy horror series, Grotesquerie.
The NFL star, 34, sported an all-white ensemble and clutched a script as he strolled to set.
His hair appeared to have been dyed black and he sported beard dye as he joined his co-stars for the drama.
Niecy Nash-Betts, 54, was also seen heading to set while clad in a figure-hugging black dress while Courtney B. Vance was clad in a doctor’s uniform, teamed with a stethoscope.
Lesley Manville will also be involved alongside Kelce, who was recently named the host of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
Nash-Betts, who has previously worked with Murphy winning an Emmy for her role in Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, shared a video from set to her Instagram.
‘Guys, guess who I am working with on Grotesquerie?’ the actress teased, before panning over and revealing Kelce.
‘Jumping into new territory with Niecy!’ the Kansas City Chiefs tight end proclaimed.
‘We on site!’ Niecy-Betts added.
Meanwhile Travis reportedly spent over $17K on Paris-themed gifts for his 14-time Grammy Award-winning girlfriend, including a $11.7K Chanel purse, to kick off the European leg of her Eras Tour with four stadium shows in the French capital.
His other gifts for Taylor included over $700 on macarons, over $2,000 on white orchids from famed French florist Rene Veyrat, red roses valued at $1,100, and Chanel sunglasses that cost $1,840, per The Sun.
The large 2.55 Chanel handbag comes in two colours, navy blue and black, although it is unclear which colour he bought for his girlfriend.
The purse is made of aged calfskin and gold-tone metal, per Chanel.
The purse’s dimensions are 7.6 by 10.9 by 2.9 inches and cannot be directly bought through Chanel’s website. A purchaser needs to call the company’s phone number to speak with a representative to acquire the same handbag as Swift.
