Taylor Swift changed the order of the eras
Swift also rearranged some of the eras. Previously, the folklore era was followed by the release of her album Red. But in Paris, she altered things by performing Speak Now immediately after her performance of Red's final song, All Too Well. Another significant alteration is that folklore and Evermore are now integrated into a single set.

Folklore symbolizes spring or summer, and Evermore represents fall or winter.

The Love Story hitmaker then joked that fans can refer to the new period as "Folkmore" or "Everlore."

Her new dress for Fearless is much more reminiscent of the one she wore during her original Fearless Tour in 2009. She even wore a new gown for her Speak Now performance.
Coming to the Red Era, Swift debuted new outfits with minor changes. During her performance for 22, she also wore a new shirt that read, "This is not Taylor's Version.” Her Folklore era also contained a new yellow Alberta Ferretti dress, giving a nod to combining Folklore and Evermore. While her 1989 set also included a pink and green two-piece that reminded fans of the OG 1989 costume she wore on tour back when the album was initially released, The outfit also contained pink and green shoes. Meanwhile, her reputation attire remained the same: A Roberto Cavalli catsuit that she has worn throughout the tour.
