Taylor Swift debuts ‘The Bolter’, ‘Crazier’ in Edinburgh
Taylor Swift has performed two songs live for the first time ever – watch footage of the performances below.
While performing her second show in Edinburgh, Scotland as part of the Eras tour on June 8, Taylor Swift debuted two songs live for the first time ever as part of her surprise songs section of her ever-changing setlist.
For the first of her two debuts, Swift performed ‘The Bolter’, taken from her latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’. She turned it into a mash-up with ‘Getaway Car’. Watch fan-shot footage of the song below.
For her second debut of the night, Swift brushed off 2009’s ‘Crazier’, which had only ever been released on the soundtrack for the Hannah Montana Movie. She coupled the track with ‘All Of The Girls You Loved Before’.
NME gave the first Edinburgh show a glowing five-star review, writing: “Despite being an arena show, in a huge, cavernous venue, Swift and her fans have managed to cultivate a community. Strangers swap friendship bracelets, laugh and cry together, and embrace the tour’s in-jokes and lore (for example shouting “one, two, three, let’s go bitch” during ‘Delicate’).
“It’s the power of Swift, an artist who’s inspired not only the renaming of a Scottish Loch, but also countless fans to come out and embrace being a part of the Eras family. With The Eras Tour, then, Swift’s managed to craft a marvel of a show that comes with a beating heart.”
Following the remaining Edinburgh shows, she will play three shows in Liverpool from June 13-15, one night in Cardiff on June 18 and three in London’s Wembley Stadium on June 18-22. She then heads to Dublin on June 28, before taking the tour around Europe.
In other news, The 1975‘s Matty Healy was reportedly “blindsided” by how much of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ was supposedly inspired by their relationship, but found it “hilarious” because they were “never serious”.
