MIAMI, FLORIDA: Taylor Swift began the last leg of her Eras Tour on Friday, October 18 â with the first of three gigs at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, where she surprised her fans by bringing out a special guest during the three-hour epic event.
The âLove Storyâ hitmaker was joined on stage by Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine to perform a duet of their hit song âFlorida,â off Swiftâs most recent album âThe Tortured Poets Departmentâ.

Swift performed five star-studded nights in London to round up the European leg of the Eras Tour. She made it a memorable evening by sharing the stage with Bleachers vocalist Jack Antonoff and British powerhouse Florence Welch, to round up the European leg of her tour.
Welch joined Swift for their first live performance of âFlorida!!!â, adding to the nightâs enchantment and making it an unforgettable experience for Swiftâs fans.
After a two-month hiatus, Swift has returned to the US for her second and final leg of the Eras Tour. And, there was no more significant guest than Welch, though, who once again accompanied Swift for their Tortured Poet duet, âFlorida!!!â
Ever since Swiftâs return to North America, fans have been speculating over whether the song would be officially included in the setlist. Welch eventually then joined Swift once again in their tribute to the Sunshine State.

Swift appeared on stage with Florence, wearing a white dress with âWhoâs Afraid Of Little Old Me? You Should Beâ inscribed on the lower, voluminous portion of her personalized Vivienne Westwood high-low skirt.
Welch, on the other hand, looked stunning in her own white dress that had black lace throughout, including the bottom.
The Grammy winner kicked off the evening by beginning with âMiss Americana & the Heartbreak Princeâ off her Lover album, leading to âCruel Summer,â âThe Man,â âYou Need To Calm Down,â and âLoverâ followed, capping up the concertâs opening set.
She performed âBut Daddy I Love Himâ and âSo High Schoolâ by the time she arrived at âThe Tortured Poets Departmentâ, and then she brought Welch out for her duet of âFlorida.â
