Taylor Swift performed her favorite acoustic track for the eighth time at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on Friday. “I aim to connect with you all, and tonight, you’re the best singalong crowd,” she enthused in her bright blue gown to the sold-out audience. Swift then launched into an acoustic rendition of “State of Grace” from “Red (Taylor’s Version),” followed by a surprise performance of “You’re On Your Own Kid” from “Midnights.” Previously, Swift had performed this friendship anthem in Tampa, Florida; Los Angeles; Mexico City; Tokyo; Singapore; Lisbon, Portugal; and Lyon, France, totaling seven times.
She proceeded to the piano, performing “Sweet Nothing” from “Midnights” and blending it seamlessly with “Hoax” from “Folklore.” In “Sweet Nothing,” Swift lyrically treasures a pebble from Wicklow, Ireland, likely inspiring her choice of the song.
“Hoax” marked the final track on “Folklore” that Swift hadn’t yet played on this tour. This era now joins “Midnights” and “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” as the third where she’s performed every song. Below is the complete list of her acoustic performances:
