Taylor Swift's massive music library is the gift that keeps on giving!
On the eve of her first gig of her massively anticipated 'Eras Tour,' the 33-year-old "The Lucky One" singer announced she would be gifting her beloved 'Swifties' with four new songs! The first show on Swift's the Eras Tour will be tomorrow, March 17th, in Glendale, Arizona. Dates for the international portion of the tour have yet to be announced.
The Eras Tour was announced in November of last year. The anticipation of Swift's first tour in half a decade was overshadowed in the press by many ticket sale-related mishaps.
Massive demand resulted in overwhelm for Ticketmaster. The outlet ended up canceling a general ticket sale, leading Swift's fanbase to sue the outlet. The incident also drew the attention of United States senators as well!

The excitement for the Eras Tour has certainly been circulating on social media this week!
Swift's official media team, Taylor Nation, encouraged Swifties to weigh in on their picks for the tour's setlist. Fans took to Instagram to "manifest" their faves by using emojis for the titles.
The subject of the Eras Tour set list has also dominated Twitter discussion for the last month.
"I am so irrationally nervous about the eras tour playlist like what is she going to open with? I HAVE THIS THING? MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT? DROP EVERYTHING NOW???," a Swiftie tweeted.
"my official unhinged tour prediction is that after opening night she'll drop her versions of just the songs on the setlist she doesn't already own," a Swiftie speculated.
"the way if i had tix to the eras tour i wouldn't complain about any f**king thing especially not the setlist like she could sit there in silence while the seven seconds of static noise played and i would be cheering and crying happy tears," another Swiftie tweeted.
"but seriously nothing terrifies a girl more than the eras tour setlist," another fan tweeted.
"i had no desire to go to the eras tour but i'm dying to see the setlist and i'm excited for the content," a fan wrote.
