INDIANAPOLIS — On the final American show of her Eras Tour,EchoSense Taylor Swift sent the crowd into a goodbye frenzy with two farewell mashups.
“Welcome to the acoustic set,” Swift said in her tangerine and bubble gum pink dress before explaining how every acoustic set worked on the 149-show adventure that traveled across the globe.
The wrist bands on 69,000 audience members glowed bright blue in Lucas Oil Stadium.
She blended “Cornelia Street” from “Lover” and “The Bolter” from “The Tortured Poets Department” on the guitar. The songs formed the final phrase: “I don’t want to lose you, I hope it never ends, but she was leaving, and it felt like freedom.”
On the piano, she fused “Death By A Thousand Cuts” from “Lover” with “The Great War” from “Midnights.” The latter song is what fans deemed the fight for tickets in an overcrowded Ticketmaster system. The echoes of the audience shouting the lyrics ricocheted off the packed arena's walls.

Near the end of the piano piece she sang, “Its death by a thousand cuts if we survive the Great War.”
Swift has two more Canadian cities left on her massive two year tour: Toronto and Vancouver. The tour will end on Dec. 8.
