Taylor had plenty of surprises up her sleeve for these final London shows, including some special duets. Night 1, on August 15, was truly special as Ed Sheeran joined her on stage for a mashup of “Everything Has Changed,” “End Game,” and “Thinking Out Loud.” She followed it up with a blend of “King of My Heart” and “The Alchemy.” Of course, no London show would be complete without “London Boy,” which Taylor performed as the first surprise song on August 16, followed by a mashup of “Dear John” and “Sad Beautiful Tragic.” On August 17, fans were treated to the tour debut of “I Did Something Bad” from her iconic Reputation album, along with a mix of “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” and “Coney Island.”
After a brief rest, Taylor returned for her final two shows. On August 19, she delivered two emotional mashups during the surprise song set: “Long Live”/“Change” and “The Archer”/“You’re on Your Own, Kid.” And tonight’s show, the last of the summer, was packed with even more surprises. During “The Tortured Poets Department” set, none other than Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine joined Taylor for a powerful performance of “Florida!!!” But the surprises didn’t stop there. During the surprise song set, her longtime collaborator and producer Jack Antonoff joined her on stage to perform “Death by a Thousand Cuts” and “Getaway Car,” before Taylor closed out the European leg with the heartfelt “So Long, London.”
As the show drew to a close, Taylor had one final surprise for her fans: the announcement of her new music video for “I Can Do With a Broken Heart,” which dropped just a few hours later. The video, now available to watch, offers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at Taylor and her crew as they rehearsed for the tour. If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check it out below.
