But during a show for the Australian radio station Nova 96.9, the 25-year-old superstar played for a crowd of only 100\. The intimate performance featured Swift up on a small stage belting out acoustic versions of several of her hits accompanied by only her own guitar. The setlist included 1989’s “Out Of The Woods,” “Shake It Off,” “Blank Space” and “Wildest Dreams,” according to [MTV News](http://www.mtv.com/news/2685293/taylor-swift-acoustic-1989-hits/ "undefined"), and Swift even gave some insight into the emotions behind “Wildest Dreams,” the latest single from the album. “I was like, ‘Love just ends, it’s not a question of _will_ we break up, it’s _when_ will we break up,'” she said. “It was one of those days. But I got a good song out of it.” Watch the singer perform “Shake It Off” and Wildest Dreams” below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4144772/taylor-swift-performs-acoustic-version-wildest-dreams/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4144772/taylor-swift-performs-acoustic-version-wildest-dreams/"},"headline":"Watch Taylor Swift Perform an Acoustic Version of 'Wildest Dreams' for 100 Fans","datePublished":"2015-12-10T19:12:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:36.948Z","description":"She also played other 1989 hits","url":"https://time.com/4144772/taylor-swift-performs-acoustic-version-wildest-dreams/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Taylor Swift","Artists","1989 topic","musicians","shake it off"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt45d19dd6b46c2059/698874db524fc0046ddf5df3/taylor-swift-acoustic-wildest-dreams.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt45d19dd6b46c2059/698874db524fc0046ddf5df3/taylor-swift-acoustic-wildest-dreams.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Taylor Swift '1989' World Tour - Sydney","caption":"Taylor Swift performs during her '1989' World Tour at ANZ Stadium on November 28, 2015 in Sydney, Australia.","creditText":"Don Arnold/WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4144772/taylor-swift-performs-acoustic-version-wildest-dreams/","name":"Watch Taylor Swift Perform an Acoustic Version of 'Wildest Dreams' for 100 Fans"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Power of Taylor Swift","description":"One day after Taylor Swift publicly blasted Apple Music for not paying artists during the service’s free, three-month trial period, Apple reversed its position","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/mUgZx3qP/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-22T20:13:13.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/mUgZx3qP.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4144772/taylor-swift-performs-acoustic-version-wildest-dreams/","duration":"PT2M4S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4144772/taylor-swift-performs-acoustic-version-wildest-dreams/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
