Taylor Swift’s ‘Cassandra’ Sees Rage-Filled Debut in Mashup With ‘Mad Woman’ & ‘I Did Something Bad’
Taylor Swift's "Cassandra," the only 'Tortured Poets' song that had never been performed, stole the show in a medley brimming with rage in Toronto.
Taylor Swift ‘s “Cassandra” was the only song from The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology that had never been performed live, until Friday night (Nov. 22) in Toronto, where it stole the show in a three-song piano medley brimming with rage. “Cassandra,” “Mad Woman” and “I Did Something Bad” suddenly existed together in a fine fury, ascending above the tour’s concept of ordering the songs on the main setlist by “eras.” ( Tortured Poets, Folklore and Reputation were represented here, in one performance.) “When the first stone’s thrown, there’s screaming/ In the streets, there’s a raging riot/ When it’s ‘burn the b—-,’ they’re shrieking/ When the truth comes out, it’s quiet,” Swift sang from “Cassandra” at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium, sitting at her piano painted with flowers.
