Taylor Swift's Next Album Sets Up A New Eras Tour Movie Cameo That Would Make Up For Cutting HAIM

Summary Post Malone is featured on the opening track of Taylor Swift's upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, titled "Fortnight."

Adding songs from Taylor Swift's upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, to The Eras Tour movie as bonus features could lead to a Post Malone cameo, mirroring past surprises and making up for HAIM's exclusion in every version of the movie.

If Swift adds filmed performances of TTPD songs as bonus features in The Eras Tour movie on Disney+, she could get away with finally including her filmed duet with HAIM as a bonus feature, too.

Taylor Swift's upcoming album The Tortured Poets Department provides the perfect opportunity for a cameo in Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour that would make up for cutting her duet with HAIM from the concert movie. On March 14, 2024, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version) was released on Disney+. This extended cut of The Eras Tour concert movie includes four songs from the regular set list that were previously cut from the theatrical release as well as the four remaining surprise songs from the acoustic sets of the three LA shows that were filmed for The Eras Tour movie.

During these filmed LA shows, opening act HAIM joined Swift during the evermore era to perform their duet "no body, no crime." While almost every song cut from Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour in theaters was included in the Disney+ release, sadly, Swift's performance of "no body, no crime" with HAIM is one of the two songs still missing from The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version) movie. However, one feature on Swift's upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, could lead to a cameo in The Eras Tour movie that would make up for HAIM's absence.

The Tortured Poets Department releases on April 19, 2024.

Taylor Swift Adding The Tortured Poets Department Songs To The Eras Tour Movie Could Feature A Post Malone Cameo

Post Malone Is Featured On The Song "Fortnight" From The Tortured Poets Department

Swift will resume The Eras Tour on May 9, 2024, in Paris, France, just a few weeks after the release of The Tortured Poets Department. It has yet to be confirmed whether Swift will create a new era for The Tortured Poets Department on The Eras Tour, which would be a tricky maneuver given how carefully curated and lengthy the set list already is. However, she is almost guaranteed to play tracks from her new album as surprise songs during the acoustic set on The Eras Tour.

The very first song on The Tortured Poets Department tracklist is called "Fortnight," which features Post Malone. In the past, Swift has brought out surprise guests to perform with her during the acoustic set, so it wouldn't be unusual if Post Malone joined Swift onstage to perform "Fortnight" as a duet during one of her shows.

Post Malone's cameo would make up for HAIM's disappointing absence in Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

If she arranged to have them filmed, Swift could add "Fortnight" and other acoustic TTPD performances to "The Acoustic Collection" in The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version). This additional section appears after The Eras Tour movie's end credits and features all the bonus acoustic songs included in the Taylor's Version extended cut on Disney+. Not only would this allow The Tortured Poets Department era to be represented in The Eras Tour movie, thus fulfilling its purpose as a comprehensive showcase of every Taylor Swift era, but Post Malone's cameo would make up for HAIM's disappointing absence in Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

While there is no section dedicated to Swift's debut era on The Eras Tour set list, Swift did include her performance of "Our Song" from her self-titled debut album as one of the surprise songs in The Eras Tour movie's acoustic set.

Post Malone Being In The Eras Tour Movie Extras Would Repeat A Cameo From Her Last Disney+ Movie

Bon Iver Made An Appearance In Swift's Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions

Along with redeeming the exclusion of HAIM, Post Malone's appearance in The Eras Tour movie would also mirror a special cameo in Swift's last Disney+ movie. Four months after the surprise release of her eighth studio album, folklore, on July 24, 2020, Swift released a concert documentary on Disney+ to pair with it. In Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, Swift convened with the album's two main collaborators, Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, at the titular remote studio in upstate New York to perform all 17 songs from folklore and discuss the meaning, backstory, and creative process behind each track.

Vernon's guest appearance was a pleasant surprise in Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, which a Post Malone cameo in The Eras Tour movie could replicate.

The only duet on folklore is "exile," which features frontman Justin Vernon of indie band Bon Iver. Although he was not present during the filming of the Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, footage of Vernon performing his parts on "exile" at a different recording studio was interspersed with Swift and co.'s performance to complete the duet. Vernon's guest appearance was a pleasant surprise in Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, which a Post Malone cameo in The Eras Tour movie could replicate/

Bon Iver was also featured on the title track of Swift's ninth studio album, evermore, released less than five months after folklore on December 11, 2020, as a "sister album."

Disney+'s Bonus Features Are The Perfect Way To Add The Eras Tour Movie's Cut Guests

HAIM Could Also Be Added To The Bonus Section Without Stealing Focus From Swift & Her Fans

Close

Though this was never confirmed, one of the potential reasons why HAIM was cut from all three versions of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie was because Swift may have wanted to make the concert movie all about her connection and journey with her fans. Including HAIM as surprise guests in The Eras Tour movie would have diverted focus from Swift and the Swifties. Not to mention, their performance of "no body, no crime" would've created a discrepancy in The Eras Tour's regular set list, since it replaced "'tis the damn season" in the evermore era.

Although adding her TTPD duet with Post Malone in "The Acoustic Collection" on Disney+ would fill the HAIM void, Swift could give audiences the best of both worlds. It may not have been performed during the acoustic set, but adding "no body, no crime" as a bonus feature in "The Acoustic Collection" is the best way to finally feature HAIM in Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour while keeping the focus on Swift during the regular set list.
