The creative way Taylor Swift arrives on stage unseen
A fan has captured video footage of the unique way Swift appears on stage for her performance.
Taylor Swift is going to great lengths to keep her fans guessing as to what the popstar might do next.
For Swift’s first several shows of her Eras Tour, the singer appeared to show up out of thin air, leaving fans to wonder — how did Taylor Swift get on stage?
Swift’s latest trick
One fan managed to capture Swift’s tricks on video.
Taylor Swift arrives onstage for her ‘Eras Tour’ performances via janitor’s cart.
With the intent that no one can see her arrive, the songstress has been hiding in a janitor’s cart to mount the stage under cover, and remain unseen until it’s time to take the stage.
A Swiftie with the TikTok handle @shaydanazifpour posted what looked like a casual pre-concert video survey of the stadium, with the words, “When you get video confirmation on the janitor cart rumor,” over the footage.
In the clip, there are two workers who roll a janitor’s cart through the maze of walkways in the backstage area of the stadium. The cart has all the cleaning essentials piled on top of it, including brooms and mops.
After about 30 seconds of this, with Swift’s pre-show tunes pumping in the background, the men stop wheeling the janitor’s cart — right in front of the stairs leading up to the stage.
Suddenly a slim figure in a gold sequined dress and long golden hair steps swiftly out of the cart — and Taylor Swift is spotted from behind climbing the steps to the platform where she was set to perform.
The singing superstar then goes into her opening number, ‘Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince’.
“Not Taylor Swift popping out of the janitor cart during the [Arlington TS ‘Eras Tour’],” the fan wrote in the caption.
The video was posted Monday following Sunday evening’s ‘Eras Tour’ night three at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The comments section
Swift’s fans had plenty to say in the comments section of the video.
“Lol y’all need to stop, now she has to get a new hiding cart,” one person wrote.
“The commitment to the bit and putting mops on top is so funny to me,” said another.
“I’m just imagining Taylor standing in there in the dark & I can’t handle it,” a third fan posted.
Swift has not addressed the rumors that she arrives at the stage in a janitor’s cart, nor has she responded to the recent footage.
