Taylor Swift delighted her fans during her Eras Tour concert in Liverpool, England by playing an acoustic version of Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s hit song “This Is What You Came For” on Friday night. The 34-year-old singer explained to the audience that she always aims to include unexpected songs in her acoustic sets, much to the delight of her Swifties.
Not only did Taylor Swift perform an acoustic rendition of “This Is What You Came For,” but she also surprised the audience with mashups of other songs. She combined the hit track with “Gold Rush” from her “Evermore” album, showcasing her creativity and musical talent. Additionally, Swift merged “The Great War” with “You’re Losing Me” in another surprise song mashup during the concert.
Swift treats her fans to two surprise songs every night on her Eras Tour, with one typically performed on the guitar and the other on the piano. This special acoustic set allows the talented singer to delve into her extensive song catalog and give her audience an unforgettable experience during her three-hour show.
