In fan posts from the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich, Swift introduced the acoustic mashup – consisting of “Right Where You Left Me” by Always and “All You Had To Do Was Stay” by 1989 – by sharing that she would be spreading the love in honor of 113 shows.

“This is actually our 113th show of the Eras Tour, and this is my favorite number that I never mention,” she said, adding, “I just thought since it’s my favorite number, I would play some of my favorite songs for the acoustic part.”

“On this 9th of July / The beat of your heart / It jumps through your shirt / I can still feel your arms,” Swift sings in the track.

Over the past few weeks, Swift has been on top form at her concerts, featuring surprise songs, combining some of her biggest hits and offering her fans various themed mashups seemingly based on the date and current events.

At a concert in Amsterdam in early July, the singer presented a surprise set of songs that was obviously dedicated to her boyfriend, with whom she had been together for almost a year. Travis Kelce. The three-way mashup – referred to by fans as the “Kelce set” — contained short versions of “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)” by Taylor SwierFT“So High School” by The “Tortured Poets” sectionand “Everything has changed” by Red.

Fans immediately knew the song combination was dedicated to Kelce, as the lyrics of each song allude to their relationship. “I’ll be 87, you’ll be 89,” Swift sings in “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My),” which many interpreted as his Chiefs jersey number 87 and her birth year 1989. In the second song, Swift sings, “You know how to play, I know Aristotle.” The third song references a love that changes a person’s perspective on life.

Charmingly, the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player was spotted in the audience, with moist eyes to the nod in his direction.

Previously, Swift seamlessly blended “I Forgot That You Existed” and “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” during her stay in Cardiff, Wales, for Scooter Braun’s birthday in mid-June. This acoustic set has since been called “Diss Track Mashup”.

Only one day earlier she had debuted the “Murder Mashup”, To sing “Carolina” from that The song of the crayfish Soundtrack before the transition to “No body, no crime” from her 2020 album, AlwaysThis happened after her ex of six years Joe Alwyn, broke his silence about their separation in 2023 in an interview with The times from London.
