Song Chant or Action? Important Lyrics?

Instructions History/Details
Act I - Lover Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince
Fans widely consider the bridge of Cruel Summer to be one of the best in Swift's discography. The song itself was considered underrated by many fans and
developed a cult following. It was not released as a single until the 20th of June 2023, where it peaked within the top ten in many countries, including the

Philippines and Singapore, where it peaked at number one. It is fitting then, that during the show, the very first 'bridge' that fans will 'cross' is that of Cruel
Summer, a point that Swift herself highlights during a musical interlude during the show.
The Man
This song contains a pro-queer message and illustrates Swift's support for the LGBTQIA+ community. It is the second song to explicitly display Swift's
support for queer communities, the first being her lead track on 1989, 'Welcome to New York'. The song itself during the tour is shortened significantly,
You Need to Calm Down Sing "'Cause shade never made anybody less gay!" as loudly as you can.
however Swift chooses to perform the second verse containing this lyric. Many people believe this is deliberate, to affirm Swift's support for her queer
audience given the current global political climate that lends itself to be more hostile to members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
