During her second show for the Eras Tour in Lisbon, Portugal, on Saturday, May 25, the 34-year-old pop sensation delivered a sincere message to her fans. She expressed her joy in performing in Lisbon and described being with the Portuguese crowd as an incredible dream come true. In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Swift, standing at the center stage, talked about being in the “Red era” of her show and reminisced about her past albums Fearless, Speak Now, and Red, along with the tours she embarked on for those albums.
“As we journeyed through those tours, we created countless unforgettable moments. However, looking back, I do wish that I had brought each of those tours to Lisbon to see you,” the singer expressed. She went on to share that the Eras Tour was crafted to combine all her beloved memories from previous tours into one spectacular show, allowing everyone to relish those memories together. With the crowd cheering, Swift remarked, “That’s why I’m truly enjoying this tour with all of you.”
The singer then expressed, “I must say, I’ve never encountered a crowd quite like this before in my whole life… There have been moments during this performance where I completely forget what comes next or what to say because I’m so captivated by how much you’re enjoying yourselves and participating in the show. I absolutely adore this.” Swift delivered a heartfelt speech during her second concert in Lisbon, Portugal, on May 25.

The singer expressed her joy at being with the audience that night, calling it a dream come true. She mentioned wanting to share a song from her red album, specifically the 10-minute version of “All Too Well.” This performance was part of her Eras tour, which included two shows in Lisbon. It was Taylor Swift’s first time performing in Portugal, much to the delight of her fans. During the concert, she surprised everyone by speaking Portuguese and even called for security in the same language to help fans in the crowd.
In the performance, she pleasantly surprised the audience with a new acoustic rendition of her hit song “The Tortured Poets Department” from her latest album. This was the first time she performed it live, along with a throwback to “Now That We Don’t Talk” from the 1989 (Taylor’s Version) collection.
