Taylor Swift Stuns Fans With An ‘Insane’ Song Mashup At Her Eras Tour Stop In Amsterdam: ‘I Literally Got Goosebumps’

Taylor Swift left her fans in awe at her inaugural Amsterdam Eras Tour performance by delivering a spontaneous live acoustic medley of her 2019 hit “The Archer” and her 2021 song “Question…?”
Seated at the piano, the Grammy winner, 34, captivated the audience with her heartfelt rendition at the Johan Cruijff Arena on July 4th.
The Tortured Poets Department songwriter played three shows at the Dutch capital over the weekend, and also left her boyfriend Travis Kelce seemingly in tears with another combination of songs two days later on July 6th (we’ll get into that below!)
A clip of Swift performing her first night in Amsterdam recently went viral on TikTok where fans deemed her performance as an “insane mashup” and “one of the best ever.”
In the video, Swift can be seen smiling as she quickly transitions from one song off her album Lover to one off of her LP, Midnights. One fan shared the footage and captioned it: “taylor’s smile knowing that she is about to pull the most random mashup of the eras tour so far.”
An influx of fans flocked to the comments section to express their surprise and delight, pointing out that the two songs harmonized in an unexpectedly perfect way. “I literally got goosebumps,” someone gushed as one other noted: “This is the best mashup I’ve ever heard and I’m so annoyed I wasn’t there.” (Us, too!)
Two nights later, Swift took the stage again and sat at her piano, this time combining her 2012 hit, “Everything Has Changed,” her 2006 song “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)” and her 2024 track “So High School” (that is rumored to be about her NFL athlete beau Kelce, 34). The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was spotted in the crowd by fans, and filmed while seemingly wiping away tears.
Swift notably sang the title to the first song, “everything has changed” before heading into a lyric from “So High School,” (a favorite of Kelce’s as he noted in a recent interview). But she didn’t stop there. Swift then transitioned to an eye-catching line from her 2006 song: “I’ll be 87, you’ll be 89, I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine.”
Kelce proudly dons the number 87 for the Chiefs, and intriguingly, both he and Swift share the birth year of 1989. This led many fans to believe that her emotional mashup was a heartfelt tribute to him, possibly “moving him to tears.”
