If the acoustic part of the second night of Warsaw was a thesis about love and heartbreak, Taylor Swift submitted her essay on Friday in shades of “rrr-red.”
As the Eras Tour star played the piano chords of “Red (Taylor’s Version),” the bracelets glowed in the color of the title song. Swift crooned a slower version of the power-pop anthem: “Loving him was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end.”
The 65,000-seat PGE Narodowy Stadium in Poland sang along to the first verse and chorus. Instead of launching into the second verse, Swift tilted her head to the side and sang, “When the morning came, we were cleaning incense from your vinyl shelf.”
When fans realized she was fading in “Maroon” from “Midnights,” thunderous applause and cheers erupted. Swift ended the performance with a pretty riff on the word “red” and then “so scarlet it was maroon.” She smiled approvingly at the colorful mashup before taking the stage. That’s a real legacy.
Before her piano selection, Swift played “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” from “The Tortured Poets Department” and “I Can See You” from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” on guitar.
Swift has one more night in Warsaw before he leaves for Vienna.
