Swift then transitioned into "August" from  Folklore  before closing out with "The Other Side Of The Door" from Fearless (Taylor's Version).  While the Grammy winner — who also performed "This is Me Trying" from  Folklore —  has previously mashed-up two of her songs in the acoustic section, Saturday was her first time adding a third to the mix.

Eagle-eyed Swifties pointed out on social media that all three of the chosen songs reference infidelity in a relationship. In "Getaway Car," Swift sings that it is a "sideshow" being involved in a situation with "the three of us," while "August" is about a teenage love triangle. "The Other Side of the Door," meanwhile, features the lyric, "And I broke down crying, was she worth the mess?"

Swift kicked off her  Eras Tour , celebrating all of her past albums, in March 2023. While the show features sections devoted to each record, there is also a set for two rotating additions.

"One thing we said about the  Eras Tour : 'You think you can just go online, you think you can just scroll and know the setlist?'" Swift said during her concert in Arlington, Texas, that March. "You think you can just come prepared with little flashcards [that list the song order and my outfits]? Let it be said about the Eras Tour,  we're tricksy. That's what we are [and] we enjoy a good, healthy setlist hijinks."

Every Time Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' Became the 'Errors Tour': Still 'Swift AF Boi' 

Swift concluded the initial U.S. and South American portion of  Eras  in late 2023 and returned to the stage earlier this month.

"I decided that in 2024, when we go back on tour, I'm just gonna open back up all the songs for surprise songs," Swift noted at her Brazil concert in November 2023. "I feel like, for one year, we've really gotten through a lot of songs, so I'm just gonna make all the songs fair game when we go back on tour."

She continued, "There's some songs that I still really, really wanna play, so I'm gonna try and get through all of them."
