Music news

Taylor Swift gave her last concert of the year in São Paulo and performed “ It’s Time to Go ” And ” Say Don’t Go “.

For her last concert of 2023, Taylor Swift bid a formal farewell to the crowd. As part of the part “ Surprise Songs » of the concert, where the singer performs two songs never heard before during the Eras tour, Swift presented “ Say Don’t Go », taken from his recent album 1989 (Taylor’s Version), and the title of the deluxe version ofEvermore« It’s Time to Go “.

The choice of these songs, although perfect for the occasion, surprised the public who were rather expecting the announcement of the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version).

Swift ended 2023 with “ It’s Time to Go “, a song she co-wrote with Aaron Dessner, taken from the deluxe version ofEvermore of 2020.

It was the most magical adventure of my lifeSwift said earlier in the evening, during the portion of the concert devoted to Evermore. We’re meeting again for the final night of the Eras Tour 2023. I thought of this tour because I really wanted to celebrate all the times you’ve been there for me, and put on a show that incorporates all of my favorite tour memories – and I’ve been touring most of my life. I love traveling through these memories with you. »

During Swift’s concert Saturday night in São Paulo, the singer opened up about her new tradition of playing two surprise songs per night. “ I really wanted to try and challenge myself to play as many songs as possible that I haven’t played live, ever or in a very long time, on this tour. So I try to play a different one on the guitar, a different one on the piano, and I really, really try to make sure that it’s a song that I haven’t played on this tour. »

After closing The Eras Tour in South America, Swift will hit the road again in February 2024 with four evenings in Tokyo.
