AceShowbiz - On July 9, during a Zurich stop on her "Eras Tour", Taylor Swift delighted fans with a special acoustic mashup of "Last Kiss" from the "Speak Now" album and "Sad Beautiful Tragic" from "Red". The selection of "Last Kiss" was particularly poignant for dedicated Swifties, as the song specifically mentions the date July 9. Swift serenades with the lines, "I do recall now the smell of the rain, fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane/ That July 9th, the beat of your heart/ It jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms," making it a meaningful performance on that evening.

Swift's decision to include "Last Kiss" was not just about the date. The song fondly recalls her 2008 relationship with Joe Jonas, a romance that, despite its tumultuous end, has evolved into friendship over the years. While their breakup was famously harsh, with Jonas ending the relationship over a brief 27-second phone call, both Swift and Jonas have moved past the drama. Swift once expressed regret over her critical comments about Jonas on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", and Jonas has reciprocated, indicating that they are on good terms now.

Swift's "Eras Tour" has been a journey through her extensive discography, featuring "surprise songs" during an acoustic set, a tradition since the tour commenced in March 2023. Initially, Swift vowed not to repeat these surprise songs, unless errors were made during performances. However, she later relaxed this rule, giving herself the freedom to include fan favorites multiple times, much to the delight of her audience. "I don't wanna limit anything and I don't wanna just say, 'Oh, if I've played a song before I can't play it again,' " she explained during a show in Melbourne.
