Taylor Swift is playing the National Stadium in Singapore for six nights on her only Southeast Asia tour stop on the Eras Tour. For the acoustic set, she continued her 2024 trend of mashups for the guitar and piano.
“I’m trying to play things from lots of different eras,” she said, “lots of different albums.”
For night three, Swift combined “Foolish One” from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and “Tell Me Why” from “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” on the guitar and “This Love” from “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” and “Call It What You Want” from “Reputation” on the piano.
On night two, Swift strummed a mashup of “Long Story Short” from “Evermore” and “The Story of Us” from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” on the guitar.
Before she performed on the keys, Swift made a surprise announcement to the crowd regarding a fourth variant for her eleventh album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
“I kind of wanted to show you something that nobody else has seen,” she said before showing the artwork. Then, she performed a mashup of “Clean” from “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” and the title track from “Evermore” on the piano.
“This has become my favorite part of the show,” Swift said on Saturday, “because it’s become just very chaotic and it’s become a challenge for me to think of new things to do for every single city and just hope I’m doing something that you guys might like.”
On night one, Swift blended “Mine” from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” with “Starlight” from “Red (Taylor’s Version)” on the guitar and performed a mashup of “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” from the “Fifty Shades Darker” movie soundtrack and “Dress” from “Reputation” on the piano.
Swift will perform for six nights in Singapore before taking a two-month break. Her next show is in Paris on May 9.
