Taylor Swift concluded The Eras Tour with a spectacular finale in Portugal, delivering two consecutive performances at Estádio da Luz in Lisbon. During these shows, the icon behind “Cruel Summer” wowed the crowd with her sparkling ensembles and inventive “surprise” mashups. The excitement peaked following her latest album release, with The Tortured Poets Department segment becoming a fan-favourite. On her last night in Portugal, the 34-year-old superstar left Swifties in awe by debuting the album’s title track live.
In a memorable moment from The Eras Tour’s final night in Lisbon, Taylor Swift unveiled a live performance of The Tortured Poets Department, marking its premiere. Swift surprised attendees with an acoustic blend of the TTPD title track and “Now That We Don’t Talk” from her re-recorded 1989 (Taylor’s Version). For this acoustic set, part of The Eras Tour’s wardrobe, Swift chose an ombre pink halter-neck flowy dress, complementing it with her iconic brown guitar.
Another unexpected treat was a mashup, including the beloved Speak Now song “Long Live” and “You’re On Your Kid” from Midnights, reviving “Long Live” after it was initially cut from the setlist. This rendition was performed on her piano, adorned with vibrant floral paintings.
The internet buzzed with excitement as videos from the Lisbon shows emerged, with fans lavishing praise on the “Blank Space” singer on social media platforms like X, formerly known as Twitter. Fans expressed their admiration, with one noting the poignant lyrics, another calling the mashup a “masterpiece,” and a third highlighting the beauty of the vocal melody changes during “Long Live.”
