Taylor sang the track ‘Bigger Than the Whole Sky’, as seen in a video trending online. “Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye... You were bigger than the whole sky. You were more than just a short time,” she sang, after which she broke down into tears.
She continued the lyrics of the song by saying, “I'm never gonna meet. What could've been, would've been. What should've been you? What could've been? Would've been you?”
