Taylor Swift and Hayley Williams sing “Castles Crumbling” in London
The singer also performed “Thank You, Aimee” live at her second of three performances at Wembley Stadium.
Taylor Swift is in London, England this weekend for a three-date Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium. On her second night on Saturday, she treated fans to the live debut of “Thank You, Aimee” and sang “Castles Crumbling” with tour mate Hayley Williams of Paramore.
During their performance of The section “The Tormented Poets”: The Anthology She incorporated parts of “Mean” into the song “Thank You, Aimee,” which she played on acoustic guitar. The songs about bullies made a complementary mashup, as a fan video shows. She also changed the lyrics of “Mean” from “One day I’ll live in a big old city” to “One day I’ll sing that song at Wembley,” which drew cheers from the audience.
For the second surprise song, Swift sang Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) from the title track “Castles Crumbling” featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore, who accompanied Swift on the piano song (Paramore is the opening guest on the European leg of the Eras Tour). Midway through the video, while fan footage is shown, Swift told Williams, “I love you so much. You’re so good, it’s crazy. I can’t believe I get to tour with Hayley. I can’t believe she ever talked to me.” Williams responded with a laugh, saying, “You’re my oldest music friend. Thank you. I love you.”
Last weekend, Swift performed “Carolina” live as part of a mashup with Always‘s “No Body, No Crime” along with “The Manuscript” during her third and final stop of the Eras Tour at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England. She has premiered a number of songs live during her surprise acoustic sets, including the recent debuts of “The Bolter” and “Crazier” in Edinburgh, Scotland; “The Tortured Poets Department” and “Fresh Out the Slammer” in Lisbon; and “How Did It End?” in Stockholm, Sweden.
On Friday, at the opening concert of the Eras Tour in London, Swift performed “The Black Dog” live for the first time. Her final performance of the Eras Tour in London is on Sunday. Next weekend she heads to Dublin, Ireland. The European and UK leg of the tour runs through August before she heads to Canada for a series of performances that conclude on December 8 at BC Place in Vancouver. Swift recently announced that she will end the Eras Tour for good at the end of 2024.
