'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' Shoutout on Taylor Swift's Show Honors Liverpool in Adorable Way

'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' Shoutout on Taylor Swift's Show Honors Liverpool in Adorable Way

Taylor Swift made a sweet change to her final Eras Tour show in Liverpool.

 

On Saturday, June 15, during Swift's third Eras Tour show at Anfield Stadium, in Liverpool, England, the singer, 34, honored the city by incorporating a surprise twist to her song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

 

In footage posted on X (formerly Twitter), Swift's dancer, Kameron Saunders changed up his "Like, ever" shoutout in the song to instead say, "Jog on, lad!"

The phrase is used by scousers — which is a colloquial term for people from Liverpool — and loosely means "get lost." Saunders even adopted a Liverpudlian accent for the switch-up, much to the delight of the audience, who roared their approval.

The dancer is known for saying the phrase in the native language of where the performance is taking place — but he also made a special switch-up during Swift's first show in Liverpool to mark her 100th Eras Tour show.

 

In a video shared on TikTok from the Thursday, June 13, concert Saunders changed the shout-out to "for the 100th time, no."

Earlier that day, which marked the 100th show of the tour, the Grammy-winner told the audience that her tour would be coming to a close at the end of the year.

 

"A lot of you are like, 'How are you going to celebrate the 100th show?' " Swift said to the crowd on June 13, per fan-filmed footage. "The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I've acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December."

 

"That feels so far away from now, but then again, it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so fun for us," she continued.

 

"It's taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don't know what they were anymore because all I do when I'm not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups," the "Fortnight" singer continued, referencing the "surprise song" acoustic set she plays for fans towards the end of every Eras Tour show.

 

The singer also stayed up late after the June 13 concert to tune into a livestream of the Kansas City Chiefs ring ceremony, where she watched her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his teammates receive their Super Bowl LVIII rings.

 

Swift tuned in to the livestream on Chariah Gordon’s Instagram Live and shared her excitement in the comments section.

 

“JOINING THE PARTY FROM LIVERPOOL,” Swift wrote. “LET'S GOOOOOOOO!”

Swift's Liverpool shows were full of sweet moments, as well as performing mashups of “The Manuscript” and “Red,” as well as “Carolina” with “No Body, No Crime," by Evermore during her acoustic “surprise song” set on June 15, the night before the singer delighted the audience with a rendition of the 2016 hit “This Is What You Came For” by Rihanna and Swift’s ex Calvin Harris.

 

Her second show in the city also saw her praise the "beautiful" crowd in a sweet moment posted on X (formerly Twitter).

 

"I just want to say, on an individual basis, this is one of the most expressive, genuine, generous, beautiful crowds I've ever gotten to play for," Swift said.

 

"I've made so many best friends out here tonight, you have no idea," she added.

 

Swift continued, "I'm so lucky to get to play a show with people like you wanting to come to it. Thank you so, so, so much for that. I love you Liverpool. Thank you."

 

The pop superstar first announced the Eras Tour in November 2022, with 27 concert dates across the United States. Since then, she's added several additional legs to the tour including Latin AmericaAsiaAustralia and Europe, as well as an additional North American leg. 

 

"Just know that I appreciate every single ounce of effort that you've put into being with us when this tour reaches triple digits of shows — so thank you," Swift told the fans in Liverpool, the birthplace of the Beatles.

 

Ahead of her arrival in Liverpool, which marked her first-ever show in the city, Merseyside Police said they had been working for six months to “make sure the event is a safe one” in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter).

 

“We’re really looking forward to welcoming Taylor Swift and the Swifties,” Chief Superintendent for Liverpool Zoe Thornton told fans in the video. “We know Swifties look after each other so continue to do so.”

 

Following her three nights in Liverpool, Swift will next jet off to Cardiff, Wales, for her next tour stops.
