Yahoo Finance Taylor Swift Goes Viral For Shocking Stage Trick During Eras Tour
Social media can’t stop buzzing about Taylor Swift pulling off an impressive stage stunt.
The “Anti-Hero” crooner, who launched her highly anticipated Eras Tour over the weekend in Glendale, Arizona, stunned fans when she strutted downstage and seemingly jumped headfirst into a stage gap.
In one viral clip, Swift had just finished singing “Tim McGraw” from her 2006 debut album when she started walking toward a hole in the middle of the stage.
Wearing a long ruffled gown, the noises of a swimming pool playing in the background, Swift suddenly dives into the hole as astounded fans can be heard gasping and screaming.
