“I felt like it might be appropriate,” Taylor said. Rocking a short black Versace dress, she shouted to the crowd, “It’s good to be in Houston, Texas tonight!” She later apologised to the crowd before the live debut of her new track, I Don’t Want to Live Forever, which is a duet with former One Direction singer Zayn Malik. “He’s definitely not here,” she told the screaming audience, before launching into the track alone. “Had such a great time playing I Don’t Wanna Live Forever for the first time live tonight, although we missed you @zayn, the crowd sang so loud!!” she later wrote on Instagram.

Taylor also performed a stripped down version of This is What You Came For, a song she wrote with ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris, and Better Man, a recent hit she penned for country rockers Little Big Town. She told the crowd the gig on Saturday would be her only one of 2017, after her mammoth 1989 World Tour came to an end in 2015. “As far as I know I’m only doing one show in 2017, and as far as I know, this is that show,” she said. “You are attending 100 per cent of my tour dates.” Taylor later shared snaps from her show on Instagram, captioning a shot of her onstage with a simple, “Thanks, Houston.”
