Swift’s eyes filled with tears as she performed the song from her album ‘Midnights’.

She was rushed to hospital but allegedly suffered another heart attack on the way there.
The 23-year-old was then pronounced dead by medical staff at the hospital.
Swift paid tribute to the young woman on Instagram after learning of her untimely passing.
“I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but it’s with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show,” she wrote.
“I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this. There’s very little information I have other than the fact she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young.
“I’m not going to be able to speak about this from the stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it.
“I want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my heart goes out to her family and friends.”
The singer added: “This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil.”
