Taylor Swift sends crowd into ‘excited panic’ as she performs mash-up of her hit breakup ballads Exile and Haunted in Sydney

Taylor Swift has been switching things up a bit during the Australian leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour.

Just like she did at Friday and Saturday’s shows, the Anti-Hero singer, 34, played a mash-up of multiple different tracks for her ‘surprise songs’ portion of the show. 

At her latest show, the first mash-up was of her beloved vault track, Is It Over Now from 1989 (Taylor’s Version), and I Wish You Would, also from 1989, which she played on her acoustic guitar. 

During the second mash-up she performed Haunted, first released on her third album Speak Now, and Exile, off her Folklore album.

A fan shared a video of the mash-ups on TikTok and Swifties went wild in the comments. 

‘These mash-ups are making me emotional first thing this am,’ one fan wrote, adding the crying emoji. 

Another Swiftie admitted: ‘I wouldn’t started bawling the second she started playing exile.’

‘People really didn’t know how to react to exile. EXCITED PANIC,’ a third fan said, adding the crying emoji and a red heart.

A fourth fan had a really good idea, writing: ‘She needs to do an album of these mashups. It would be amazing.’ 

Taylor has been on tour since March 2023 and changes out two songs in her acoustic set each night.

But Down Under, she decided to do things differently, explaining to the crowd that it didn’t feel right anymore.

‘That was to challenge me to really get to all the ones that I just don’t naturally gravitate towards, and I feel really proud about having done that,’ US Weekly reported.

‘I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward and I don’t want to limit anything or say, “Oh, if I played this song, I can’t play it again,”‘ the Grammy winner said during one of her Melbourne shows.

‘So, from now on, I don’t want to take any paint colors out of the paintbox [or] tools out of the toolbox. 

‘I want to be able to play songs more than once if I feel like it and I want to be able to make changes to songs. Does that sound OK?,’ she said to the crowd.

Just like she did at Friday and Saturday’s shows, the Anti-Hero singer, 34, played a mash-up of songs for her ‘Surprise songs’ portion of the show. She did one song on Friday and two on Saturday and Sunday.

While her boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34, attended the Friday show in Australia, he jetted back to Las Vegas afterward to celebrate his Super Bowl win with teammates, TMZ reported. 

Fans who haven’t been able to one of Taylor’s concerts, can soon watch the Eras concert film as much as they want when it heads to Disney+.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie will debut on the streaming platform March 15.

This version will include even more bonus material that the previous rental version.
