As Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour rolls into Indianapolis this weekend, excitement is at an all-time high for Hoosier Swifties. The Lucas Oil Stadium is set to host the pop icon for three electrifying nights, and fans are buzzing with anticipation not just for her iconic setlist but for the coveted surprise songs portion of the show. Taylor, known for delighting her audiences with deep cuts and beloved tracks during these moments, has left Indy fans speculating: what will she play for us?

One strong contender for a surprise song is the fan-favorite “Getaway Car” from her Reputation album. This track, which paints a vivid story of escapism, heartbreak, and excitement, is perfect for a city like Indianapolis—a place known for speed, adventure, and the open road. The metaphorical getaway tied to the fast-paced Indy 500 could be Swift’s way of nodding to the city’s racing legacy, making “Getaway Car” a fitting tribute. The city’s love for high-speed chases and its long history of automotive excellence align seamlessly with the song’s narrative of taking a daring leap into the unknown. It would be a symbolic gesture to the hometown crowd, one that celebrates the thrill of racing and rebellion.

Beyond its thematic ties, “Getaway Car” is a song that embodies the spirit of the Reputation era—bold, defiant, and unapologetic. It’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever taken a leap of faith, left something behind, or needed a fresh start, all while feeling the thrill of freedom and adrenaline. With the expansive arena vibes of Lucas Oil Stadium and the city’s history of hosting some of the fastest cars in the world, the synergy between the song and the setting feels too good to pass up. Imagine the lights dimming as the opening chords begin, and the crowd erupting as Swift delivers a performance infused with the energy and excitement that only Indy’s rich racing culture could amplify.

Taylor’s choice of “Getaway Car” would also be a subtle nod to her own evolution. The Reputation era was one of reinvention, and Indianapolis, a city that has continually evolved and expanded its cultural and sports presence, shares that same spirit of transformation. The song’s themes of breaking away and taking risks align with the very essence of what makes this city thrive. It’s a place where speed meets innovation, and where history and modernity collide—much like the defiant, ever-changing nature of Swift’s music.

If Taylor does indeed gift Indianapolis with “Getaway Car,” it will be a moment for the books, cementing her Eras Tour stop here as one of the most memorable yet. As fans prepare for the big weekend, all eyes (and ears) will be on Taylor, hoping for that perfect song to make an unforgettable night even more iconic. Given the city’s strong connection to fast cars, high-octane thrills, and the spirit of reinvention, “Getaway Car” would be a perfect way to merge Taylor’s storytelling with Indy’s own legacy, creating a night that fans won’t soon forget.
