Taylor Swift's latest stage setups are filled with "instability": She transforms into a "power outage robot," singing while chasing after a flying saucer (ct)

“Never thought we’d see the day when Taylor Swift’s ‘robot’ also runs out of power…

Social media is buzzing with images of Taylor Swift performing under a flying saucer, a mesmerizing addition to The Eras Tour! Taylor Swift seems to be taking it easy: she’s scrolling through TikTok, stumbled upon a perfectly synced music clip, and declared it an official music video!

In the early hours of May 10th (Vietnam time), Taylor Swift, the “American powerhouse,” returned for the fourth leg of The Eras Tour, starting in Paris, France, before continuing her journey across Europe. After releasing The Tortured Poets Department album on April 19th, it was speculated that she would bring some of the songs from the album to the stage for the first time.

And as predicted, Taylor Swift did indeed bring seven songs from the album to the stage out of a total of 31 songs, in the following order: But Daddy I Love Him, So High School, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?, Down Bad, Fortnight, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, and I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.

The most anticipated part of the show was when she created a whole new world for The Tortured Poets Department, with predominantly white costumes, a “psychiatric patient” bed with the TTPD logo, or the incredibly mystical flying saucer… However, the spotlight of this “era” was on the comedic acts of the singer, most notably the “power outage” act where the fainting “robot” Taylor Swift had a day when it ran out of battery.

Taylor Swift looked “wide-eyed” as she was carried by two dancers

She stood on a moving platform, performing the song Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? with extremely passionate hair flips. Taylor performed with great enthusiasm, reflecting the content of the song, expressing anger and bitterness about how society treats true artists. However, during the song I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, the singer lay collapsed on the stage while the dancers moved inside. Two male dancers in suits appeared, carrying Taylor Swift to a chair in the middle of the stage. Despite her efforts to sit up straight, Taylor still looked tired and slumped.

Fans joked that after more than a year of running the show, Taylor Swift’s “robot” had officially “run out of power.” In fact, this is also the content of the next song, where she is exhausted, facing unhappy things, but when the music starts playing, Taylor Swift will continue to sing and perform.

Netizens also teased that her moving bed looked no different from an automated vacuum cleaner, moving around the stage to clean up with Taylor Swift on top. The “mischievous” fans even spread a “conspiracy theory” that Taylor Swift quietly confirmed that she is an extraterrestrial with lights shining straight from the flying saucer following her on stage.

With a series of humorous performances by the female singer, many other audience members joked that this was how aliens “wirelessly charge” Taylor Swift’s robot.

And who’s not afraid of Taylor Swift’s poets anymore…?

In addition, Swifties (the name for Taylor Swift fans) also got goosebumps with the changes in the intro videos. In particular, the post-effects image of Taylor Swift after the end of the song Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?, her black and white face appearing on the screen with white eyes also gave fans a “chill.”

The title of “American Water Buffalo” humorously awarded to the female singer, originally only reflects Taylor Swift’s extraordinary diligence and hard work over the past period: touring the world, making a 31-song album, directing films, shooting music videos, recording old albums,…. While still finding time to write new music and hang out with her lover. With the near addition of an entire brand-new album, this nickname will probably continue for a long time.”
