aylor Swift spent her one and only 2016 gig with a fearless rendition of her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris’ hit “This Is What You Came for.”
During her concert held at Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, the “Shake It Off” songstress belted out a piano version of the track, which was released in April and peaked at the 4th spot on the Billboard charts, USA Today reported.
“As a songwriter, the most rewarding feeling in the world is writing something and having a crowd sing it back to you,” she told the audience. “I’ve never played this song live before. But if you know it, maybe you could sing along, and then I could get to know what that feels like to hear it sung back to me.”

Swift wrapped up her eight-month-long “1989 World Tour” last December last year, and “Swifties” anxiously waited for months to attend her concert this year.
TMZ reported that Taylor Swift, under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg, co-created the “This Is What You Came for,” which featured vocals from Rihanna. It was one of the reasons why Swift, 26, split with the Scotish DJ, 32, before she moved to dating Tom Hiddleston. Astonishingly, Swift and Hiddleston ceased their three-month fling in September.
Harris took his heartaches to Twitter after Swift “made him look bad” in public in a hungry pursuit for publicity. Also, he also revealed that Swift contributed to “some of the vocals” of the song.
