Taylor Swift details how she pulled off adding ‘Tortured Poets Department’ to Eras Tour in new book

Taylor Swift is finally pulling back the curtain on her Eras Tour.

The pop star details in her new “Eras Tour Book” how she managed to pull off adding songs from her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” to her blockbuster show “halfway through” its 149-date run.

“We conceptualized and rehearsed it secretly, and surprised the Paris crowd with it when we started our European leg of the tour,” she writes in the retrospective 256-page book, out Friday at Target.

Swift, 34, explains that she wanted the new section of her concert to be “minimalist, white, stark and bold” to contrast with her colorful other eras.

“There was nothing else in the show like it, and it was such an exciting challenge to try to improve upon a show I already loved,” she shares.

The 14-time Grammy winner adds that she hoped to “create the illusion of an alien abduction, a battle scene, a religious institution, a mental institution, a haunted house and a showgirl’s dressing room routine.”

She acknowledges that the “Tortured Poets Department” addition was “ambitious as hell” but calls it “the most dramatic, cathartic, female-rage driven part of the night.”

Swift released her 11th studio album — and its surprise second volume, “The Anthology” — on April 19, detailing her breakups from both Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy.

Days later, during a two-month break in her tour, she teased that she would be changing her 44-song setlist to spotlight “The Tortured Poets Department” once she hit the road again.

The singer did just that on May 9 when she debuted a revamped version of the Eras Tour at Paris La Défense Arena with seven tracks from the album, including “So High School,” “Fortnight” and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

The new era became even more special for Swift on June 23 when her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, joined her onstage at Wembley Stadium in London to perform a brief skit.

“I’ve seen the show enough. Might as well put me to work here,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, later joked on his “New Heights” podcast.

While the couple has been dating for a year and a half, Kelce does not appear in “The Eras Tour Book.”

The record-breaking trek ends on Dec. 8 in Vancouver, Canada.
