Taylor Swift celebrates the roots of country music with an acoustic set in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS – The screams of 65,000 fans echoed through Caesars Superdome as Taylor Swift stepped to the microphone in a brand new dress and played around with her bangs for the acoustic set on Friday. “I’ve been touring in Louisiana since I was 15 years old,” Swift said, and the audience cheered. “You’ve just been so supportive of me, and I come from country music.” In her orange, white and blue dress, she said, “I thought maybe we’d better start at the beginning.” There were a few excited chirps from the Swifties hear your secret song selection. She chose the strings to the tune of “Our Song” from her debut album, and screams filled every corner of the arena. Swift paired the track with “Call It What You Want” from Reputation. The two songs are from the two albums Swift has to re-release. She then moved to the piano to sing an emotional mashup of “Black Dog” from “The Tortured Poets Department” and “Haunted” from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).” Swift has two more nights in New Orleans before heading to Indianapolis, Toronto and Vancouver. She will sing her last show on the Eras Tour on December 8th.
