Taylor Swift performed the title song from The Tortured Poets Department live for the FIRST TIME as she concluded her Eras Tour stop in Portugal.

Taylor Swift has finally given her first live performance of the title song from her new album The Tortured Poets Department.

The 34-year-old pop star is hurtling around the world on her Eras Tour, an economic juggernaut that tipped her over the line into billionaire status.

She arrived in Lisbon, Portugal this week and performed on Friday and Saturday night at the sprawling Estádio da Luz, which seats over 64,000 people.

Footage has surfaced on X, formerly Twitter, of Taylor performing a medley of The Tortured Poets Department and her earlier song Now That We Don’t Talk on Saturday.

‘So, this is actually the first time I’ve ever playing this one live,’ she said before the first song, to a rapturous round of screaming applause from the audience.

Taylor was decked out in a bright orange dip hem gown for the medley, which saw her accompany herself on the acoustic guitar.

Over the course of the tour, she has become known for treating the audience to ‘surprise songs’ during special sections of her concerts.

She dropped The Tortured Poets Department to a ravenous fan response last month, sending her Swifties into a frenzy as they dissected her songs aimed at ex-boyfriends like Matty Healy and Joe Alwyn.

The title song’s live debut comes amid reports Taylor booked a £3.3million cottage in the Cotswolds where she will stay during the UK leg of her legendary Eras tour.

Swapping the tranquil countryside for the swanky city, it seems also her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce will be ‘joining her for a getaway’.

‘Taylor has booked the cottage while she is over in the UK,’ a source told The Sun.

‘She wants a place to unwind away from the tour and the countryside is her happy place.’

‘Taylor loves dressing up in sequins on stage but is most at home in muddy boots in the fresh air.’

MailOnline has contacted Taylor’s representatives for comment.

The Cotswolds area is located very close to one of the exclusive private members’ club Soho Farmhouse, known as a hotspot for many celebrities.

Just not far from there, David Cameron lives in the quiet rural area – as well as fashion icon Kate Moss, music mogul Simon Cowell and his BGT’s co-star Amanda Holden.

The Bad Blood hitmaker will kick off her UK tour in Edinburgh on June 7, followed by Liverpool, Cardiff, and a slew of live gigs in London between June and August.

Taylor’s unprecedented successful tour is said to boost the economy by almost £1billion with her 15 shows – yet fans are struggling with Airbnb’s prices on the rise during the dates.

The average cost per night in Edinburgh is roughly £769 per night – but the weekend before it’s £237.88, making it a 223% increase throughout the weekend of her tour dates, as per The Mirror.

Edinburgh proved to skyrocket with prices above any other date, but also the cost of Airbnb in Liverpool went from £99.64 a night to £202.59 for the gigs’ dates, with costs hiking more than double.

The ‘least damage’ is said to be in Cardiff – also her only live show in the city – where Airbnb see a %18 increase from £185.07 to £156.44.

The pop legend will grace London’s Wembley Stadium for multiple dates in a row, and to calculate the average cost Alt Index looked at Travelodge hotels within three miles of the stadium.

The average cost for a one-night stay when she plays on June 21, 22 and 23 is £222.60.

But the same time period the prior week before is £109.93, marking a 102% increase.

Consumer expert Scott Dixon, of The Complaints Resolver, told the publication: ‘This is blatant profiteering and extortion which simply cannot be justified. No hotel or Airbnb can justify charging nearly £800 for one night.

‘This highlights why consumers ought to plan ahead and factor in these costs, and consider different locations when buying tickets for events.’
