  • In Kansas City, Swift also performed "Superman".[4]
  • On September 27, 2011, "Ours" was added to the set list.[5]
  • In Lexington,[6] Houston,[7] and Raleigh,[8] Taylor Swift also sang "Never Grow Up".
  • In Oceania, Taylor Swift also sang "Safe & Sound" in the encore, except during Auckland night 2, where she sang "Eyes Open" instead.[9]
