The surprise songs part of the show came after the singer debuted a new segment for her recently released 11th album ‘The Tortured Poets Department‘, which included seven tracks from the LP and the extended version ‘The Tortured Poets Department:The Anthology’.
“Maybe I’d sing one of my favourite songs from the Fearless album and see if you guys can match the volume of earlier. It’s like this,” Swift said to the crowd before jumping into ‘Hey Stephen’. For ‘Maroon’, the pop star took to the piano to perform an acoustic rendition of the track.
Taylor Swift kicked off the European leg of her ‘Eras’ tour on Thursday (May 9) in the city of lights. The gig was her first since releasing her latest album and saw her perform nine tracks from the record that have never been played live before.
She will continue to play shows across Europe, and will be heading to the UK and Ireland in June. This will include eight shows at Wembley Stadium in London this summer as part of the run, with support coming from Paramore.
In other news, fans recently hit out at the parents who brought their baby into the pit of her recent Paris show, where the infant was photographed on the floor.
