On Thursday and Friday, the 34-year-old American pop singer played at Anfield Stadium, which seats 60,000 people.
Taylor became extremely distraught during her performance of Champagne Problems in front of a sold-out audience.
She removed her earpiece to thoroughly absorb the moment before yelling, ‘I love you so much, Liverpool, thank you!’
Taylor, who celebrated her 100th tour performance this week, also delighted fans with another episode of Surprise Songs, in which she selects songs to perform acoustically.

Joe talked about the split for the first time 14 months later in an interview published on Saturday.
Joe stated, ‘As everyone knows, we both opted to keep the more sensitive aspects of our relationship private. It was never something to commodify, and there’s no reason to change that now (seen with Taylor in 2020).
She played a mashup of Carolina and No Body No Crime, as well as a mashup of The Manuscript and Red.
Taylor will resume The Eras Tour in Cardiff on Tuesday before heading to London from June 21 to June 23.
It comes 14 months after English actor Joe, 33, revealed the details of their breakup.
He informed The Sunday Times Style. ‘As everyone knows, we both agreed to keep the more private aspects of our relationship private.
‘It was never intended to be commodified, and I see no reason to change that now.
Joe went on to say, “And, look, it’s been a little over a year now, and I consider myself fortunate to be in a really good place in my life, both professionally and personally.” I’m feeling extremely terrific.
When asked if he had listened to Taylor’s most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, Joe replied, “In thinking about what I was going to say, I would think and hope that anyone and everyone can empathise.”
‘This isn’t a direct response to your question; I’m just thinking about what I want to talk about.’
The American pop artist performed at the 60,000-capacity Anfield stadium on Thursday and Friday.
While singing Champagne Problems to a sold-out crowd, Taylor became clearly emotional, overwhelmed by the audience’s response.

Joe concluded, ‘I would hope that anybody and everyone can empathise and understand the problems that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years.’
Taylor has yet to publicly address the breakup, but she has since moved on with NFL player Travis Kelce.
Her only comments have been in music, with several tunes on The Tortured Poets Department believed to be about Joe.
Taylor laments heartbreakingly in the song LOML: ‘I wish we could recall how we almost had it all…’
On Friday, Taylor’s Surprise Song was Rihanna’s This Is What You Came For, which she and her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris co-wrote.
Taylor prefaced the song, saying, “Every time I do an acoustic set, I’m always trying to think of things you might want to hear — maybe something a little unexpected.”
She performed the track as a mix with ‘Gold Rush’ from her 2020 album Evermore.
