Taylor Swift Closes Out Final Eras Tour Show of 2023 With ‘It’s Time to Go’ and ‘Say Don’t Go’
A.Williams3 months ago
For her final concert of 2023, Taylor Swift gave the crowd a proper farewell. As part of her “Surprise Songs” segment, where the singer plays two songs not heard before on the Eras Tour , Swift debuted “Say Don’t Go,” the vault song from her recently released 1989 (Taylor’s Version), and the Evermore deluxe version track, “It’s Time to Go.” Her song choices, though on point for the occasion, came as a surprise to the crowd that had instead expected an announcement for the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version). Throughout Sunday night — Swift’s third concert in São Paulo — “Rep TV” trended on X, the social platform previously known as Twitter, and even seemed to trip up Swift herself, who said “Rep” instead of “Eras” tour, while introducing the acoustic portion of the evening. “Now you’ve gotten in my head,” Swift conceded as the crowd cheered over her mistake. | “See you've gotten in my head.. now you've gotten in my head!"

I’m going to make all the songs fair game.” Swift closed out 2023 with “It’s Time to Go,” a song she co-wrote with Aaron Dessner, from the 2020 Evermore deluxe version. “This has been the most magical adventure of my life,” Swift said earlier in the evening during the Evermore portion of the concert. “We find ourselves on the last night of The Eras Tour 2023. This tour is something that I thought of because I really wanted to celebrate all the times you guys have been there for me, and put together a show that incorporated all my favorite memories of touring — and I’ve been touring most of my life. I love traveling through these memories with you.” Editor’s picks | Taylor performing ‘it’s time to go’ tonight #SaoPauloTSTheErasTour

So, I try to do a different one on guitar, a different one on piano, and I really, really try to make sure it’s one that I haven’t played on this tour,” she said, before performing “Safe & Sound” from the Hunger Games soundtrack and the ballad “Untouchable” from Fearless.
