No two nights of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour are going to be exactly the same. And no, we’re not just talking about the unique energy of every crowd in every city (although yeah, that too, obviously). Taylor actively planned the Eras Tour’s set list so that every night is at least a *little* different.

“So my plan—who knows if I’ll stick to it—but the plan, the goal would be to play different songs every single night and never repeat one,” Taylor explained before the acoustic/“secret” song portion of her opening night show on the Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona, on March 17. “So that when you heard one on this tour, you’d know that it was the only time that I was gonna play it in the acoustic set—unless, caveat, unless I’ve messed it up so badly that I have to do it over again in some other city. Send your best wishes toward me that I don’t do that.”

This isn’t a brand-new concept or anything—Taylor is known for including mini acoustic sets in her concerts and changing up her song choices/even throwing in some amazing and unexpected covers during said acoustic sets. Case in point: her cover of “Bette Davis Eyes” during the Speak Now World Tour in 2011.

So which songs have already made their way into Taylor’s “surprise song” acoustic set during the Eras Tour (aka which songs do you have to cross off the list of songs you might hear live in your city, if you were lucky enough to get your hands on tickets)? Here’s the list so far:
