The surprise songs part of the show came after the singer debuted a new segment for her recently released 11th album ‘The Tortured Poets Department‘, which included seven tracks from the LP and the extended version ‘The Tortured Poets Department:The Anthology’.
“Maybe I’d sing one of my favourite songs from the Fearless album and see if you guys can match the volume of earlier. It’s like this,” Swift said to the crowd before jumping into ‘Hey Stephen’. For ‘Maroon’, the pop star took to the piano to perform an acoustic rendition of the track.
