Taylor Swift is wowing the Portuguese crowd with a mix of her recent and past surprise hits!

On Saturday, May 25, the 34-year-old singer of “So High School” played her second gig as part of the Eras Tour at Lisbon, Portugal’s Estádio da Luz. Swifties in attendance at the event (as well as those watching on the internet) anxiously anticipated which tunes the pop sensation would sing as her customary “surprise” songs, and she did not disappoint.

Swift is seen performing an acoustic guitar mashup of “The Tortured Poets Department,” the title track of her critically acclaimed new album, and “Now That We Don’t Talk” from the 1989 (Taylor’s Version) vault for the first time in a video posted on social media by a Swift fan account.

Later in the performance, Swift unveiled yet another unexpected mashup, this time singing “You’re on Your Own Kid,” a hit song from Midnights, and “Long Live,” one of her early songs from the 2010 album Speak Now, while seated at her painted-flower-adorned piano.

Here’s how Taylor Swift handled a wardrobe malfunction like a pro while performing

Travis Kelce, Swift’s Super Bowl-winning boyfriend, stayed in the United States during this leg of the Eras Tour, but he has been traveling to Europe, particularly Italy, to spend time with her. On Saturday night, Kelce (34) went to a Dallas Stars hockey game against the Edmonton Oilers while Swift was performing in Portugal. The NFL player was seen by the Texas squad chit-chatting with pals in a VIP box.

Swift’s performances in Portugal take place a few days after her historic tour paused in Stockholm, Sweden, where on May 19, during her third engagement there, the “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” singer experienced a very dazzling wardrobe malfunction.

In a fan-captured TikTok video, Swift says, “Talk amongst yourselves,” then appears to struggle with her blue wrap dress, partially unraveling it to reveal the shining gold bra top she wears during the show’s Tortured Poets Department segment. Eventually, a crew member appeared on stage to assist her with the wardrobe problem, which may have also had something to do with her microphone.

Swift squeezed in a romantic trip with Kelce in Lake Como, Italy, between selling-out shows throughout Europe. On May 17, the couple spent a wet day on a boat, making memories of their last day at the well-liked celebrity getaway location.

When the boat came to a stop close to Bellagio, she was dressed in a tan trench coat. The couple dined at Locanda La Tirlindana.

The “Down Bad” singer will next go to Madrid, Spain, for a two-night stay as the Eras Tour continues.
