Taylor Swift gave fans an unexpected treat during the final London show of The Eras Tour.
On Tuesday, August 20 during her eighth and final night at London's Wembley Stadium, the 14-time Grammy winner debuted the music video for her Tortured Poets Department song, "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart." The track is the 13th song on the record, which is known to be Swift's lucky and favorite number.
Fans had many theories about how the 34-year-old would choose to close out the European leg of the Eras Tour, with many signs pointing to the long-awaited announcement of Reputation (Taylor's Version). However, we know Swift likes to keep her fans on their toes.
After her final song "Karma," the superstar exited the stage as the new music video began to play on the stadium screens.
The video gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the tour and revealed some backstage secrets.
First, Swift confirmed fans' theories that she rides into the Eras Tour on a cleaning cart. Fans also got answers as to where she goes after doing the infamous dive sequence of the show -- she lands on a huge mattress under the stage.
People also wondered how Swift moves so quickly from one side of the stage to another, and it turns out she has a mechanism that slides her across under the stage.
Swift showcased her rehearsals with her backup dancers and singers throughout the video and fans noticed some new wardrobe items. The Pennsylvania native was wearing black and red striped boots that once again have fans theorizing Reputation (Taylor's Version) is coming soon as those are the colors of that era. She was also seen in a gold matching set which she has not worn on stage yet.
As for making London the city to premiere the "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" music video, Swift's ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn — who many believe is the relationship referred to in the song — is from England. Fans have quickly theorized that choosing to debut the footage in his home country could have been a nod to that.
On top of the video premiere, Swift brought out Florence Welch to perform "Florida!!!" with her for the first time live. The singer-songwriter also had longtime friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff come onstage during the acoustic set to play a mashup of "Death By A Thousand Cuts" and "Getaway Car."
