These were the six songs featured in her medley:
1. "The Man" (from "Lover," 2019)
In what "Entertainment Tonight" described as a nod to her spat with Big Machine's Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun, Swift, clad in a jacket bearing her old album titles, kicked off her performance with an excerpt of her new song "The Man," which includes the lyrics: "And I'm so sick of them coming at me again / 'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man."
