Taylor Swift Calls Milan Eras Tour Shows “A Dream Come True”

After performing two shows at San Siro in Milan, Taylor Swift took to Instagram to share her gratitude in a heartfelt post. “WOW. MILAN” began Swift’s caption. “Those were truly 2 of my favourite crowds ever.” 

The Grammy winner continued, “The passion and generosity you showed us… it was a dream come true to perform for you. Grazie mille!! We’ll be back!!” Swift’s Milan shows were memorable and eventful. During one performance, she started coughing after swallowing a bug during the secret songs segment of the Eras Tour.

“I knew it would happen ’cause there are so many bugs here tonight,” she told the concerned crowd amid a surprise mashup of ‘I Almost Do’ and ‘The Moment I Knew’, both from Red. “It’ll be fine, I just need to cough a little,” she added before moving on with the rest of the performance — as she did when she previously swallowed bugs at Era Tours shows in London and Chicago.

The ‘All Too Well’ singer-songwriter also debuted new outfits during her Milan shows. For the Fearless era section, Swift wore a brand new Roberto Cavalli minidress designed by creative director Fausto Puglisi, who was in attendance at the show.

Swift also changed up her Vivienne Westwood dress for the Tortured Poets Department era. While the ensemble usually features ‘Fortnight’ lyrics on the skirt, the new version in Milan had lyrics to ‘Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?’ instead. Additionally, while performing a mashup of Reputation’s “Getaway Car” and “Out of the Woods,” Swift experienced a piano malfunction.

“We have finally broken this thing,” Swift told the crowd while looking underneath the piano’s lid, as seen in a fan video shared on TikTok, while a crew member tried to fix the instrument. Another fan video on X (formerly Twitter) shows the triumphant moment after the piano was fixed. Swift closed the lid and said, “Oh, I did it!”
