Taylor Swift left fans in Liverpool, England in awe during her Eras Tour concert by surprising them with an acoustic version of Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s hit song “This Is What You Came For”. The 34-year-old global superstar shared with the crowd her intention of always wanting to provide the unexpected during her acoustic sets.
As soon as Taylor began performing “This Is What You Came For”, the audience erupted in cheers of euphoria. She showcased her talent by combining the hit song with “Gold Rush” from her “Evermore” album. Another surprise song mashup included “The Great War” and “You’re Losing Me”.

Taylor Swift co-wrote “This Is What You Came For” with her then-boyfriend Calvin Harris, using the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg to avoid overshadowing the song. After their breakup, Harris confirmed her involvement in the song, leading to a public spat between the former couple.
