After the sold-out MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford of The Eras Tour, fans agreed that they'd never heard Taylor Swift sound "so sad" following an emotional "False God" performance on Saturday, May 27.
From her seat at her piano, the 33-year-old "Lavender Haze" singer amazed thousands of fans with a new rendition of the well-known and sultry song.
The American singer wore a green dress and transformed an upbeat track into something reflective and slow.
People on social media had mixed feelings about this change in tone.
Taylor's performance of the song was especially poignant as she skipped her usual introduction and went straight into singing it - something which many fans noticed.
Moreover, one fan observed that Taylor didn't say "one single word" during the leadup to the song.
Moments after Taylor Swift performed "False God" to her fans, a video appeared on TikTok depicting her at the piano singing it.
The accompanying caption for the post read: "Taylor was so emotional and teared up when she ended 'False God.'"
This song had an immense impact on her.
In response to the post, someone commented: "She sounded very sad."
Another individual wrote in reply: "My heart aches for her. All I wish for is her joy and although this might appear like a sign of parting, these songs could still be suggestive."
The third user noted, "I don't think Taylor and Joe [Alwyn] are finished. I believe this could be her attempt at pleading with him to look into things again."
People had different opinions about her emotional performance; one said they saw her smile after the song.
Another took to Twitter, saying, "From my perspective at the show, it looked like she was almost crying throughout most of it. It was particularly true for 'Champagne Problems' and 'False God.'"
@taylorswifteras Ahhh they got “False God” tonight!! #taylorswift #swiftie #swifttok #taylornation #tstheerastour #eastruthtstheerastour #lover #falsegod ♬ original sound - Taylor Swift the Eras Tour
The 2019 "Lover" album features the "False God," a song believed to have been written when Taylor Swift and her then-partner Joe Alwyn fell in love.
However, this has never been officially confirmed.
The lyrics go, "We were stupid to jump / In the ocean separating us / Remember how I'd fly to you?"
This past week, she debuted an unreleased track at her MetLife performance.
The song describes "worshipping" their love and mending the relationship after a fight.
Taylor allows fans to be part of the experience by providing access to this exclusive material.
The heartbreaking song "Your Losing Me" is a lament to the deterioration of a relationship, and many believe it was inspired by Taylor Swift's former flame before their reported breakup just last April.
