Watch Taylor Swift debut her mashup of ‘This Is What You Came For’ and ‘Gold Rush’ in Liverpool
Taylor Swift has debuted a surprise mashup of Calvin Harris‘ ‘This Is What You Came For’ and ‘Gold Rush’ in Liverpool – watch it below.
The superstar was playing her second night at Anfield Stadium, where she arrived at the surprise song portion of her billion-dollar grossing ‘Eras’ tour.
Speaking to the crowd, Swift then said: “Every single time I have an acoustic set, I’m always trying to think of things you might want to hear — maybe things that might be a little bit unexpected,” the pop superstar told the crowd. “Let’s see how we did tonight.”
She went on to debut Harris’ ‘This Is What You Came For’, which she helped co-write when they were dating at the time. Swift initially wrote the song under the moniker Nils Sjöberg, with both her and Harris confirming she was behind the psuedonym in 2016.

Recently, Swift announced that her tour would be ending in December at her 100th show.
While performing in Liverpool last night (June 13), Swift celebrated playing her 100th show of the tour. While thanking her fans for their support and dedication during the career-spanning tour, Swift acknowledged that it won’t go on for much longer.
“This has definitely been the most exhausting, all-encompassing but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever wondered in my life, this tour,” she said, reflecting on her 100th ‘Eras’ show.
Following the remaining Liverpool shows, Swift will perform for 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.
Earlier this month, NME gave Swift’s first Edinburgh show of the tour 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.”
In other news, Steve Carell has recalled how he became a fan of “very sweet, very nice” Taylor Swift.
