Watch Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter perform ‘White Horse’ and ‘Coney Island’ mash-up

During her show in Sydney as part of the Australian leg of her ongoing ‘Eras Tour’, Taylor Swift brought out Sabrina Carpenter to perform a mash-up of ‘White Horse’ and ‘Coney Island’. Carpenter is supporting Swift on the current run, but had to cancel her set the previous day due to bad weather. The two artists duetted on a stripped-back piano version of ‘White Horse’ and incorporated elements of ‘Coney Island’ from Swift’s ‘Evermore’ album. They performed the mash-up as part of the “surprise songs” segment of the gig.

Swift recently scrapped her “no repeats” approach to her “surprise songs” section of her concerts. She wants to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward, and not limit anything by only playing songs once. The singer will bring the ‘Eras Tour’ to the UK and Ireland later this year, with Paramore supporting her on that leg. She’ll play eight shows at Wembley Stadium in London as part of the run.

Swift will release her 11th studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, on April 19. She said writing the upcoming record was a “lifeline” for her, as it reminded her why songwriting is something that gets her through her life. The singer is nominated for International Artist of the Year at the upcoming Brit Awards, which will take place at The O2 in London next Saturday.
