As has become tradition throughout her tour — where she’s celebrating the album she’s released so far — Taylor released two surprise songs exclusive to the show.
The first was a Gold Rush mash-up of their album Evermore and the Calvin Harris track This Is What You Came For.
Taylor co-wrote the track while dating the DJ – whose real name is Adam Wiles – in 2016, but it was later given to Rihanna.
Officially, Taylor is not credited on the song, and the singer chose to use the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg.
Before performing the song in Liverpool, she told the audience: “Every time I have an acoustic set, I’m always trying to think of things you’d like to hear – maybe things that might be a little unexpected.
“Let’s see how we do tonight.”
His involvement in This Is What You Came For was only confirmed following his split from Harris in June 2016, with his rep confirming that Taylor and Nils Sjöberg were the same person.
Prior to this, Harris had told Ryan Seacrest on his US radio show that he would never work with Taylor, which reportedly caused upset due to the huge success the song became.
This sparked a major feud between the two following their split, with Harris later going on a Twitter (now X) rant accusing Taylor’s team of “trying to bring him down.”
He wrote: “I think if you are happy in your new relationship, you should focus on that instead of trying to destroy your ex-boyfriend for something to do.
“It hurts me right now that she and her team would try so hard to try and make ME look bad at this stage.”
“I wrote the song, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals,” he added.
“And initially she wanted it to be kept secret, hence the pseudonym. And she sings a little too. Incredible lyric writer and she killed it as always.”
Harris later rescinded her statement and said he was “blessed to work with her,” reinforcing the sentiment in a 2017 GQ interview.
During the chat, he said he “screamed” and was “protecting what he considers to be his only talent in the world being belittled.”
So fans were delighted to hear her sing the song.
“Taylor Swift deciding to sing (for the first time!) This is What You Came For while in the UK, aka the song she co-wrote with Calvin Harris, is UNHINGED, I love her,” said one on X .
“Taylor Swift sings Calvin Harris This Is What You Came For in Liverpool – Best surprise songs from last night’s tour in my opinion,” added a second.
Taylor’s Eras Tour – which kicked off in March 2023 – will end at the end of 2024.
The singer confirmed the news on stage, marking her 100th performance in the impressive three-hour show.
“This is the first time I have acknowledged and admitted to myself that this tour will end in December,” she told the audience.
“This tour really became my whole life, it took over everything, like I thought I once had hobbies.
“All I do when I’m not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever mashups of acoustic songs and think of what you’d like to hear.”
