Later in the show, Swift delighted her fans once again by introducing another surprise mashup. This time, she graced the piano adorned with painted flowers and delivered a heartfelt rendition of ‘You’re on Your Own Kid’, a fan-favourite from her latest album ‘Midnights’, intertwined with the nostalgic ‘Long Live’ from her early days on the record ‘Speak Now’.
While Swift captivated audiences in Portugal, her Super Bowl-winning boyfriend, Travis Kelce, remained in the United States, although he had previously made the journey to Europe, including Italy, to spend cherished moments with her during this leg of the Eras Tour. On the night of Swift’s performance, Kelce was spotted attending a Dallas Stars hockey game against the Edmonton Oilers, captured by cameras chatting with friends in a private box.
Swift’s performances in Portugal followed her record-breaking tour stop in Stockholm, Sweden, where she experienced a sparkly wardrobe malfunction during her third show in the city, showcasing her resilience and professionalism.
Amidst her sold-out European shows, Swift found the time for a romantic getaway with Kelce in the picturesque Lake Como, Italy. The couple captured cherished memories during a rainy day on a boat, savouring their final moments at the beloved celebrity getaway spot before departing on a memorable date at a restaurant called Locanda La Tirlindana in the village of Bellagio.
