Swift is due to play her final show in the city tonight (May 14).
On the opening night (May 12), she gave a rare outing to fan favourite ‘Come Back… Be Here’ for only the second time in its history during the surprise songs section.
“I take requests if they are polite and decently worded,” Swift told the crowd before she revealed Phoebe Bridgers asked her to play the song. She then performed the track on the piano.
During the segment, Swift also gave a live debut to ‘Evermore’ track ‘Goldrush’.
It comes after Bridgers recently joined Swift on stage in Nashville to give the collaborative track ‘Nothing New’ its live debut.
Bridgers also recently opened up Swift’s second show at Texas’ Nissan Stadium with The 1975’s Matty Healy joining her on guitar.
The 1975’s music has since undergone a streaming rise amid reports of a romance between Healy and Swift.
