Taylor Swift hit BBC Radio 1 as her worldwide promotion of Lover continues. During the Live Lounge performance, the singer gave listeners a mini-concert full of hits they’ve come to love along with a few surprises, the biggest of which being Holy Ground. The track—which comes from her 2012 hit Red—is not something on regular rotation for the star. In fact, this performance took the song to new heights as it featured an acoustic arrangement.
