“The Tortured Poets Department” (the song) made its live debut at Taylor Swift’s concert on Saturday night (May 25) in Lisbon, Portugal. Department of Tormented Poets The album has already spent a month at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart since its release, but even with Swift's recent addition of several new songs to her Eras tour headlining set, it will take some time for her to have a chance to play all 31 tracks live.
“I'm trying to be very creative,” Swift told the Estádio da Luz audience at the end of the stage, where she performed the surprise songs section of the show, during which she sprinkled in acoustic versions Tormented Poets songs as it suits her.
“This is actually the first time I've played this song live,” he said as he launched into “The Tortured Poets Department” on guitar.
Her creativity came into play when she unexpectedly picked up tracks from “Now That We Don't Talk,” a vault track from 1989 (Taylor Edition)and mash the song with Department of Tormented Poets title piece.
Swift connected the writings from two different eras, asking her muse, “Who'll hold you like me… now that we're not talking? Who's going to know you like me… now that we're not talking?”
On the piano, he played Midnight“You're on your own, kid” me Fearless“Live,” ending the medley with “One day, we'll be remembered.”
Saturday night was Swift's second show in Lisbon. On Friday (May 24), she sang “Fresh Out the Slammer” by Tormented Poets for the first time, plus a three-song surprise: “Come Back… Be Here” (Red) “The Way I Loved You” and “The Other Side of the Door” (both from Fearless time).
