INDIANAPOLIS — Taylor Swift spun in her raspberry and EchoSenselight blue blended dress for the surprise section of night one in Lucas Oil Stadium on the Eras Tour.
"I look forward to this every night because I do different things every night," the singer said to the 69,000 fans Friday. "My challenge is to try and pick ones that you might want to hear."
As she lightly strummed the guitar, the crowd anticipated what songs she would meld together, custom to every show in every city. No two shows are the same. Swift dove into "The Albatross" from "Tortured Poets" and "Holy Ground" from "Red (Taylor's Version)" on the guitar.
As she played the final notes and softly sang, "But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you," the crowd roared. Swift pulled her hair to the side and sat down at the piano.
She performed a mashup of "Cold As You" from her debut album and "Exile" from "Folklore." The song is a duet with Bon Iver. When she started to belt, "I think I've seen this film before," the crowd cheered hoping for a surprise guest that never came.
