Swift apologized to a loud, enthusiastic crowd in Milan on Saturday night, saying, “Swallowed another one,” accepting her death when a insect flew into her mouth for the surprise song part of San Siro Stadium.
The icon — no stranger to an on an international tour that’s made its way to many an outdoor stadium — wasn’t surprised. “I knew it would happen’ produce there’s so many flaws these now”, she told the audience, pausing for a minute and then explaining the process: “I just need to cough a little bit.”
When the insect intruder stifled her art while she was playing a more sad and angry Red-era mix of “I About Do” and “The Time I Knew” at the piano.

That mashup on Saturday came after “The 1′” “Wonderland” on acoustic guitar. “I’ve not done this in the sound area previously,” Swift revealed of “The 1,” the opening of Mythology. The song was originally on the principal Eras Tour set listing, but when Swift changed the long-running display to incorporate songs from her most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, the albums chart, it disappeared.
On Sunday, Swift’s acoustic guitar wonder was a combination of “Mr. Perfectly Fine” and “Red”, her piano surprise Sunday night was “Getaway Car” with “Out of the Woods,” but she didn’t get very far with that one before noticing something was not quite right with her piano.
“You know what, we suddenly broke it. We’ve finally fixed this, and Swift quipped while a member of her technology team immediately assisted in the repair for the Eras instrument.
The sun celebrated once she got her best lock, “I did it!” while she still struggled to close it. She squealed, and with a smirk got up to performing, starting the song once: “No, nothing nice starts in a itinerary car.”
Swift unveiled three Eras Safari costumes as part of planned surprises from Milan that even generated rave reviews over the weekend, including a new dress for the Speak Then moment at the show on Sunday and new dresses for her Brave and Tortured Poets eras on Saturday.
For Fearless, she took the stage in a new, shimmering black-and-gold number ( pictured at the top of this article, and in motion in the short concert video below ) that was a fun fit for such a big sing-along part of show. The search also calls up to the visual of Swift’s Reputation, viewers noticed, feeling a little Gatsby in design and even reminding Swifties of.
Swift’s fresh Tortured Poets mask, seen in the picture below, is of the same style as her previous one — but with new songs written around its skirt. Alternatively of words from the song’s title trail, the updated version of the light Vivienne Westwood clothing features lyrics from Swift’s rage-filled “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” “You should be,” it reminds those watching.
And on Sunday, Swift performed “Charmed,” the one Speak Then music that has a lasting place in the Eras established, in a new gown in a color that may best be described as Speak Then purple. Check out a fan’s collage of Swift’s sparkly from The Eras Tour.
