Taylor Swift<\/a> really shook things up with the debut of <\/span>her revamped Eras Tour<\/a> on Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The pop star hit the stage at the\u00a0Paris La D\u00e9fense Arena for the first of four nights in the City of Light, kicking off the <\/span>European leg<\/a> of her blockbuster trek. The performance included a handful of new songs from her latest era, <\/span>The Tortured Poets Department<\/em><\/a>, after the prolific songstress dropped her 11th studio album — a surprise double LP — last month. Additionally, she surprised fans with several new costumes that have sent Swifties down a spiral in an attempt to decipher hidden meanings within the wardrobe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Among them was a puzzling T -shirt from her <\/span>Red <\/span><\/em>set that read, “This Is Not Taylor’s Version.”<\/span><\/p>\n The iconic style — inspired by her “Not a Lot Going On At the Moment” tee in the 2013 music video for “22” — has been switched up a number of times over the course of her tour, always featuring black and red block lettering over a white tee. Her latest message proved to be particularly eye-catching for fans, with some wondering whether she might be hinting that the highly-anticipated <\/span>Reputation (Taylor’s Album)<\/span><\/em> might be coming soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Swift previously dropped her rerecorded version of <\/span>Red <\/span><\/em>in 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another theory floating around social media involves the juxtaposition between Taylor Swift, the human being, and Taylor Swift, the entertainer.<\/span><\/p>\n Some fans have drawn attention to the ending lyric in her <\/span>TTPD <\/span><\/em>song “The Manuscript” — about the tragic end of a relationship — which goes, “Now and then I reread the manuscript \/ But the story isn’t mine anymore.” The message, some speculate, could be an effort to pass ownership over her songs about previous relationships to the fans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Swift sent another message with her new <\/span>TTPD <\/span><\/em>costume: a stunning white ballgown by Vivienne Westwood covered in delicate black lettering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A close look at the garment reveals that the text includes varying version of the lyrics “I love you, It’s ruining my life” from her latest single, “<\/span>Fortnight<\/a>.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Other notable costume updates included a brick-colored <\/span>Lover <\/span><\/em>outfit, a fringe-y new <\/span>Fearless <\/span><\/em>dress that seems to evoke her 2009 tour look, a yellow “<\/span>folkmore<\/span><\/em>” dress, a fun two-toned <\/span>1989 <\/span><\/em>outfit with mismatched booties, and glittery blue <\/span>Midnights <\/span><\/em>ensemble. For her surprise song section, Swift donned a short pink dress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n See more of Swift’s Eras Tour changes\u00a0<\/span>in ET’s complete roundup<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While\u00a0<\/span>Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>\u00a0served as the opening act for the first round of international tour dates for\u00a0<\/span>The Eras Tour<\/a><\/i>, the European leg kicked off with\u00a0<\/span>Paramore<\/a>\u00a0serving as the opening act.
