When Taylor Swift opened her Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona (aka Swift City), she told the crowd that the two-song acoustic set she performs near the end of the marathon concert would be different each night.

On opening night in Arizona, her secret songs were "Mirrorball," one of eight songs she performed from "Folklore," and "Tim McGraw," the only song she played from her debut album.

All told, that first concert was a breathtaking reminder that her popularity is based as much on the connection she’s built with her fans as it is on her unerring knack for coming through with records people want to hear.

And Swift made good on her promise at every single concert on the U.S. leg, subbing in "This Is Me Trying" from "Folklore" and "State of Grace" from "Red" in the wild-card spot at her second sold-out date at State Farm Stadium, where a couple got married in the front row.

As on opening night, the first of those surprise songs featured Swift on acoustic guitar while the second was done while seated at a piano.

On her first night in Arlington, Texas, she slipped "The 1" into the "Folklore" section of the concert, where she had been performing "Invisible String." As she told the fans at AT&T Stadium that night, if people think they can sit there and just scroll the setlist, they're wrong because she's changing it a little bit throughout the tour.

On July 1 in Cincinnati, she played a third surprise song for the first time ever with two guest vocalists (Aaron Dessner on "Ivy" and Gracie Abrams on "I Miss You, I'm Sorry."

Here's a look back at every single surprise song she played along the way.
