Taylor Swift swallows bugs in Milan and leaves the audience feeling like “The 1”
After her acoustic set, Taylor Swift left the audience in Milan, Italy, with the impression that she was “No. 1.”
Wearing an elegant, sunny orange dress, Swift grabbed her guitar and stepped up to the microphone.
“I try to challenge myself by doing things I’ve never done before or songs I haven’t played in a long time,” she said at the sold-out San Siro stadium in Italy’s fashion capital.
“I’ve never played that before in the acoustic part, so…” Swift said, strumming “The 1.” The track was part of the first year of the Eras Tour and served as the opening number for the “Folklore” era. When Swift revamped her show in Paris and combined “Folklore” and “Evermore” into one set, “Cardigan” became the opening number.
The singer played “Wonderland” from “1989 (Taylor’s Version)”.
Italian audience to Taylor: “You are very beautiful.”
Before she could begin her piano piece, the Italian audience chanted “Sei bellisima,” which means “you are very beautiful.”
Speechless, Swift put her hand over her mouth and said, “Wow, no one has ever been so nice to me in my entire life.”
“I bet you’re still awake at this time of night,” she sang from her flower-painted piano. The opening line of “I Almost Do” from “Red (Taylor’s Version)” thrilled the crowd. The bracelets glowed bright blue and the moment was beautiful until a Insect flew into Swift’s mouthwhich made her pause and cough.
“There are so many insects here tonight,” she said.
For the third time, the Eras tour was interrupted by an insect. On the third night at Wembley Stadium, she asked the London crowd to keep singing “All Too Well” after an insect flew into her mouth. On the third night in Chicago, a similar incident occurred at Soldier Field.
Swift finished the chorus of “I Almost Do” in Milan before launching into her tragic heartbreak song “The Moment I Knew.” She has one more performance in Milan.
