AdminTaylor Swift’s two selections for an acoustic set on Saturday couldn’t have been more contrasting, as she chose fun and vibrant love melodies for her first mashup and painful breakup songs of unrequited love for the second.
“It’s never the same,” Swift explained to the crowd during her final night in Toronto. Her purple dress glittered under the Rogers Center spotlights, serving as a precursor to the first song she would sing, “Sparks Fly” from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).” She mixed in ‘Message In A Bottle’, a vault track from ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’.
Before sitting down at the piano, she should have handed out tissues to the 49,000 fans. On the keys, Swift melded “You’re Losing Me” from “Midnights” with “How Did It End?” from ‘The Department of Martyred Poets’. Both songs have powerful bridges.
Her last line was the combined line of both songs: “You’re losing me, how did it end?”
The 14-time Grammy winner will conclude her two-year adventure on December 8 in Vancouver, Canada.
