Taylor Swift delighted fans during her Eras Tour show in Zurich by performing a special mashup of her songs 'Last Kiss' and 'Sad Beautiful Tragic' on July 9th. The choice to play 'Last Kiss' on this date was significant to Swift's dedicated followers, as the lyrics of the song reference a July 9th memory from the past.
The emotional ballad 'Last Kiss' seamlessly blended with 'Sad Beautiful Tragic,' both songs reflecting on past romantic relationships that didn't work out. 'Last Kiss' is believed to be inspired by Swift's relationship with Joe Jonas back in 2008, showcasing a more mature and reflective tone compared to other songs rumored to be about him.
Swift and Jonas have since reconciled, with Swift expressing regret for her past comments about their breakup. Jonas also acknowledged the positive shift in their relationship, even changing lyrics in a song to reflect their newfound friendship.
Following her performance of 'Last Kiss,' Swift shared her affinity for the number 13, choosing to play some of her favorite songs during the acoustic set. This decision added a personal touch to the show, as 'Last Kiss' is the 13th track on her album 'Speak Now.'
Throughout her Eras Tour, Swift has surprised audiences with acoustic renditions of songs not on the main setlist. She initially aimed not to repeat any surprise songs but later decided to be more flexible and creative with her performances, allowing for changes and repeats based on her artistic instincts.
