"Melbourne, welcome to my favorite part of the evening, which is the acoustic section! So the acoustic section of this show is something I wanted to have in the Eras Tour because I initially thought of the idea because I really wanted to challenge myself to play as many songs from my catalogue, my music, as possible, you know, and so basically when I started to tour in the US, I made up this rule where I was like, ‘I’m not allowed to ever play a song twice on the tour.’ And that was to challenge me to really get to all the ones I just don’t naturally gravitate towards. And I feel really proud about having done that, but this is sort of like a public service announcement to everyone anywhere else on the tour or whatever, or watching this—we have a lot of people, we’re very lucky to have a lot of people who watch this on the internet, and care about the shows when they are not here. And I’ve been kind of like, rethinking, and I’ve been thinking like, I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward. And I don’t want to limit anything, I don’t want just say, ‘Oh, if I’ve played this song before, I can’t play it again.’ So from now on, I’m just going to like—I don’t want to take any paint colors out of the paint box of colors. I don’t want to take any tools out of the toolbox. Which metaphor am I looking for? I want to be able to play songs more than once if I feel like it, and I want to be able to make changes to songs, for you. Does that sound okay? Because it sounds more fun to me."
