The Eras Tour is without a doubt one of the best concert tours to ever exist.
But there are some things Swift could've done better, like include a song from her debut album.

With The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has once again proven that she's a cut above the rest when it comes to her artistry and commitment to her craft.

Every weekend, she takes the stage around 8 p.m. local time in a new US city to perform songs from nine of her 10 albums, never once letting up until she takes her final bow more than three hours later.

I attended her concert at MetLife Stadium on May 28 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It was easily the best show I've ever seen in my life.

I laughed. I screamed. I cried. I cried harder.

But after seeing the spectacle for myself — and taking in all the tweets and TikToks about it that the algorithms keep showing me — I've come to a few conclusions on the tour that differ from many of her other fans.

Here are 13 unpopular opinions I have about Swift's Eras Tour, from loving the inclusion of "The 1" to wishing she ended each night with a different era than the one she chose.

Replacing "Invisible String" with "The 1" was a god-tier decision.

Finishing with the "Midnights" era makes for an anticlimactic ending.

Instead, she should have ended on "Speak Now."

Swift's debut album also should've been represented on the setlist.

The "Red" section could be so much better if she swapped even one of the hits for a deeper cut.

Meanwhile, the 10-minute version of "All Too Well" is not a bathroom break and it's weird so many people see it as one.

The "Reputation" outfit is perfect and she shouldn't even attempt to find an alternative look for it.

In fact, the entire "Reputation" section is flawless. She chose exactly the right songs.

Meanwhile, some of Swift's other looks are, dare I say, ugly.

There should be a bit more time between the second opener and Swift's sets.

But also absolutely none of the merch is worth waiting hours for.

Signs shouldn't be allowed in the audience.

Ticket pricing is way too high even for face-value tickets, and Swift should've done more to prevent exorbitant resale prices.
