Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift dedicated her acoustic guitar mash-up on Sunday to Max Martin, the renowned Swedish record producer and songwriter.
“Max is actually here tonight, but he’s a shy genius, so I’m not going to bring him out on stage. Instead, I’m doing what I call the ‘Max Martin Medley,'” she announced during her final Eras Tour performance in Stockholm, Sweden.
Playing the guitar, Swift combined “Message In A Bottle” from “Red (Taylor’s Version)” — the first song she worked on with Martin — with “How You Get The Girl” and “New Romantics” from “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”
The wristbands in Friends Arena lit up bright red and turquoise as fans cheered for the over five-minute acoustic medley.

Swift included tracks from “Tortured Poets” in her setlist when the Eras Tour began its European leg in Paris earlier this month, along with other changes to the show. The tour arrived at Friends Arena in Stockholm on Friday, which temporarily changed its name to “Swiftholm.”

Fans did not spot Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in Sweden after the tight end attended her final show in Paris, her 87th Eras Tour performance (his Kansas City Chiefs number is 87). Kelce hosted a music festival, Kelce Jam, on Saturday night in Bonner Springs, Kansas.
Stubhub.com showed floor seats in Stockholm for $100-$170, with some stadium seats priced at only $60. Resale tickets for the three American shows range from four to five digits.
Swift’s next stop is Lisbon, Portugal.
