Taylor Swift returned to the stage on Saturday, October 17, 2026, with her first full band performance since the Eras Tour. Swift delivered four songs for the black tie crowd at the Academy Museum’s sixth annual gala in Los Angeles. Conan O’Brien introduced Swift with a Beatles sized compliment, calling her “John, Paul, George and Ringo all in one.” The gala set marked Swift’s first live performance of “The Fate of Ophelia,” her hit single released on October 3, 2025 and a reported contender for Record of the Year at the 2027 Grammys. What Did Taylor Swift Perform? Swift also performed “I Knew It, I Knew You,” her song from Pixar’s Toy Story 5 . Swift had previously sung the Oscar eligible track at the film’s premiere, the Grammy Museum, and a private Ross House FYC event, but Saturday marked the song’s first live performance with a full band. Swift filled out the set with two catalog favorites, opening with “Blank Space” and closing with “Love Story.” “I Knew It, I Knew You” is in contention for the 2027 Oscars and has also been submitted for the 2027 Grammys in song of the year, film soundtrack, and country categories, giving the comeback set serious awards season receipts.
