In an unexpected twist, Taylor Swift, 34, delighted her fans with a fresh song mashup during her performance in Melbourne, Australia on February 17. As part of the surprise segment in her Eras Tour show, the singer showcased a medley of songs from three distinct albums. The mashup featured “Getaway Car” from her 2017 album “Reputation,” “August” from the 2020 release “Folklore,” and “The Other Side of the Door” from the 2009 Platinum Edition of her 2008 album “Fearless.”
During the special mashup moment on stage, captured in a social media video from the show, Taylor expressed, “I want to play one that you really want to hear, I want you to be happy.”

Following the circulation of the mashup video, fans swiftly chimed in with their observations, pointing out that all three songs appeared to revolve around the theme of infidelity in a relationship. In “Getaway Car,” the lyrics touch upon a “sideshow” and reference “three of us,” while the narrative of “August” delves into a teenage love triangle. “The Other Side of the Door” portrays a couple in conflict, with one lyric questioning, “Was she worth this mess?”
Taylor Swift’s recent standout moment on her Eras Tour follows her joyous experience of witnessing her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates secure victory at the 2024 Super Bowl last Sunday. Accompanied by her parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, her brother Austin Swift, and friends such as Blake Lively and Ice Spice, the talented songwriter attended the significant event. The celebration continued into the night at an all-night afterparty in a Las Vegas nightclub, where Taylor and the NFL player, Travis, danced to a remix of her song “Love Story” and shared a kiss.
In conjunction with extending her Eras Tour to international destinations, Taylor is preparing for the launch of her upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The announcement of this new record was made at the Grammy Awards earlier this month, and it is scheduled for release on April 19, featuring a total of 16 tracks. Various versions of the album will include distinct bonus tracks such as “The Manuscript” and “The Bolter.” Notably, the album will also feature collaborations with guest artists, including Post Malone and Florence & the Machine.
