Taylor Swift Performs ‘Crazier’ from 2009 Hannah Montana Movie in Surprise Mashup at Eras Tour in Scotland
Taylor Swift continues to amaze her fans with unexpected and nostalgic performances during her highly anticipated Eras Tour. During her second of three shows in Scotland on Saturday, June 8, the global superstar delighted the crowd at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium with a special mashup that seamlessly blended “All of the Girls You Loved Before” from 2023 with “Crazier” from the 2009 Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack.
A Nostalgic Surprise for Swifties
Swift, 34, introduced the surprise song segment by playfully challenging her audience. “You get extra points if you know this next song at all because it is really, really old,” she teased before launching into the acoustic performance on piano. The crowd erupted with excitement as they recognized the familiar tune of “Crazier,” a song many fans hold dear from their childhood.
“Oh my God, you’re so unbelievable,” Swift praised the audience before the song’s bridge, capturing the magical connection between the artist and her fans. The surprise song segment has become a beloved tradition during the Eras Tour, with Swift performing two songs or two mashups acoustically on piano and guitar each night.
A Mix of Old and New
The nostalgic mashup wasn’t the only surprise of the evening. Swift also treated her fans to a blend of “The Bolter” from her upcoming 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department and “Getaway Car” from her 2017 album Reputation. This combination of old favorites and new material highlights Swift’s ability to bridge her extensive musical catalog, providing fans with a dynamic and unforgettable concert experience.
Scotland Welcomes Swift with Open Arms
Swift received a warm welcome in Edinburgh earlier in the week, setting the stage for her performances. The local bagpipe group Reel Time Pipe Band played her 2008 hit “Love Story” at Murrayfield Stadium, a moment captured in a video shared on TikTok by Forth 1 News. This tribute was a fitting prelude to Swift’s return to Scotland, marking only her second time performing in the country. Her first visit was in June 2015 for a sold-out show at an arena in Glasgow during the 1989 World Tour.
Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney also joined in the fanfare, expressing his excitement for Swift’s visit and the temporary renaming of Loch Tay to “Loch Tay Tay” in her honor. In a video message posted on X (formerly Twitter), Swinney praised the renaming as “just fabulous” and extended a warm welcome to the “Cruel Summer” singer.
“I really hope she has the chance to go and see Loch Tay — or should I say, Loch Tay Tay — because it is the most beautiful part of Scotland,” Swinney said. “She’ll get a really warm welcome here, and I know all of the Swifties will be so exhilarated by her presence in Scotland.”
Swift’s Connection to Scotland
Swift’s affinity for Scotland is well-documented. During her 2015 concert in Glasgow, she shared her Scottish heritage with the audience, recalling an email from her father, Scott Swift. “The subject line said, ‘Tell Scotland this,’” Swift recounted. “The whole body of the email was like, ‘Our whole family is from Scotland and pretty much nowhere else, so you have to tell them.’” This personal connection added an extra layer of significance to her return to the country.
The Eras Tour’s European Leg
Swift’s performance in Edinburgh followed a two-night stint in Lyon, France, where she delivered her impressive three-and-a-half-hour set despite rainy conditions. The Eras Tour, which celebrates Swift’s extensive career and diverse musical eras, has been a massive success, drawing fans from around the world.
The tour’s Scottish dates have been particularly special, not only for the music but also for the enthusiastic reception from fans and local tributes that underscore Swift’s impact on pop culture. As Swift continues to tour, each show brings new surprises and emotional moments that resonate deeply with her dedicated fanbase.
Conclusion: A Night to Remember
Taylor Swift’s surprise mashup of “All of the Girls You Loved Before” and “Crazier” at the Eras Tour in Scotland was a highlight for fans, blending nostalgia with new music in a way that only Swift can.
