00:00 Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has been filled with some amazing moments.

00:09 So here's a look at some of the best Taylor Swift Eras Tour moments that surprised her

00:14 fans.

00:15 At her Eras Tour concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Taylor Swift playfully hinted at

00:19 her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelsey.

00:24 During her performance of "Karma," she altered the lyrics, singing "Karma is the

00:28 guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me."

00:36 And she cleverly changed the word from "screen" to "chiefs."

00:41 The audience noticed this right away and erupted in cheers.

00:44 And Travis, who was present at the show, couldn't help but smile and try to cover his face with

00:49 his hand.

00:54 There's also a video that captured the moment that Taylor Swift sealed the concert with

00:58 a kiss when she rushed to meet Travis Kelsey at the side of the stage after the final song

01:03 of the night.

01:10 That was a very iconic moment and it gave her fans a whole lot to talk about on social

01:15 media.

01:16 Also, during the initial leg of the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift created a memorable moment by

01:21 bringing her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner on stage.

01:28 Despite their past romance, the Twilight actor and Taylor Swift remain pretty good friends.

01:33 And it's also ironic that they're both named Taylor.

01:36 That could get really confusing in a relationship.

01:39 Maybe that's the real reason why they broke up.

01:41 Hey Taylor, what?

01:43 Just so confused.

01:44 Anyways, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Taylor Lautner made a pretty awesome appearance.

01:51 And he did this by entering the stage and doing a backflip.

01:55 Yeah, it was pretty awesome.

02:00 He joined Joey King as well as Presley Cash to debut the music video for "I Can See You."

02:08 Taylor Swift took a moment to praise Taylor Lautner, describing him as a significant source

02:13 of positivity in her life during the creation of the Speak Now album.

02:18 Another one of the best moments was seen by fans attending Taylor Swift's three-night

02:23 performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, also serving as her New York tour dates for

02:30 surprise song purposes.

02:33 They were in for some unexpected highlights.

02:36 Prior to the show, Taylor Swift had announced the release of "Midnights 'Til Dawn,"

02:41 which is an expanded version of her 2022 album.

02:44 And the release included a remix of "Karma" featuring the hot new rapper Ice Spice.

02:50 During the concert, T Swift chose to debut the music video for "Karma" right in the

02:55 middle of her set.

02:57 Taylor and her dancers literally took a seat on the stage to watch the music video.

03:02 And this whole unique and unexpected presentation really added a whole new level of excitement

03:09 to the live performance.

03:18 But then Taylor Swift went above and beyond to celebrate the release of "Midnights 'Til

03:23 Dawn" during her weekend in New York.

03:27 For three consecutive nights, she invited Ice Spice herself to join her on stage to

03:32 perform the remix live.

03:34 This collaboration was a match made in pop heaven, with Ice Spice commanding the crowd

03:39 seamlessly alongside Taylor Swift.

03:43 The performance proved to be a hit, and it was no surprise that "Karma" saw a huge

03:48 surge on the music charts the following week.

03:51 Another interesting thing is that even before the era's tour kicked off, fans were immersed

03:56 in decoding easter eggs to pinpoint which of Taylor Swift's first six albums would

04:01 be the next re-recorded release.

04:04 Taylor Swift dropped subtle clues, including studio sightings on her off days, keeping

04:08 people in anticipation.

04:17 The conclusion of the first US leg of eras in Los Angeles in August of 2023 seemed to

04:24 be a little too perfectly timed.

04:27 And fans were correct to be suspicious, because Taylor Swift, in true Taylor fashion, unveiled

04:33 1989 Taylor's version.

04:35 Her clever nod to the adopted colour for 1989 was evident as she wore blue versions of each

04:42 era's costume.

04:43 The big reveal of the new cover and release date took place after she performed the fan-favourite

04:49 bonus track, and that track was "New Romantics".

04:55 Here are some of the biggest secret easter eggs from Taylor Swift's eras tour that

05:07 you probably missed, part 2.

05:12 So with a tour of this magnitude, and with a seasoned pro like Taylor at the helm of

05:16 it, you know that this setlist was chosen deliberately and delicately.

05:20 And if you were one of the lucky ones who scored tickets, unlike me, or if you even

05:25 saw the eras tour movie, then you would know that Taylor kicks off her 44 song setlist

05:29 with hits from Lover.

05:32 Now fans have been speculating that Taylor made this decision because Lover is the first

05:47 album that is actually hers legally, looking at you Scooter Braun.

05:51 As we know, there was a massive dispute between the two after he purchased her masters, which

05:56 is why she's been very busy releasing the Taylor's version of her past albums.

06:02 It's also worth pointing out that her Lover Fest tour was cancelled in 2021 due to the

06:12 global health crisis, so it's almost like she's picking up right where she left off.

06:16 Okay, this one I hope isn't true, but during the show, the Lover house from the iconic

06:21 music video burns down to the ground during Bad Blood.

06:30 Now this had people wondering if it could symbolize Taylor taking a break after this

06:34 massive world tour, but I really don't see that happening.

06:38 Taylor is having a moment right now, between her wildly successful tour, the movie, plus

06:43 all of the press she's getting from her whirlwind romance with Travis Kelce.

06:46 She is everywhere.

06:47 I mean, she just hit billionaire status, dare I say she's in her billionaire era, so I can't

06:52 see her slowing down anytime soon.

06:54 I think we can write this one off as a homage to Bad Blood, the music video, or at least

06:59 that is what I'm choosing to believe.

07:06 Of course, Taylor also hides some Easter eggs in the props that she uses on stage.

07:10 You can see that she's wielding the same golf club from the Blank Space music video.

07:13 However, don't worry, she doesn't smash any fancy cards with it while performing, although

07:18 that would be very entertaining.

07:25 But she also brought back some iconic outfits like the fabulous purple coat from Lavender

07:30 Haze.

07:31 And if you recognize this gold shimmery dress, well, that's because it looks a lot like the

07:35 one she wore during her Fearless era.

07:38 Now if you're thinking that us Swifties read way too much into the Easter eggs, this one

07:42 will make you think again.

07:44 Taylor's third studio album, Speak Now, was the one she had yet to release as Taylor's

07:48 version, and this was due to copyright issues.

07:50 However, Taylor dropped some major hints that this re-release was coming, and guess what?

07:55 It did.

07:56 Earlier in the tour, Enchanted was the only song she performed from Speak Now.

08:00 Of course, fans thought this was a hint that the re-release was coming because Taylor was

08:04 giving the other albums enough time in the spotlight, certainly more than just one song.

08:09 And during the Reputation era set, Taylor is surrounded by dancers, dressed as past

08:13 versions of her, but they're all trapped in glass boxes.

08:17 This Speak Now version of Taylor is the only one that is not released from its glass box

08:21 at the end, while the rest of them are.

08:30 And then there were the shirts.

08:32 During the Red era segment, T-Swift wears a t-shirt with the words, "A lot going on

08:36 at the moment, bolding a lot in red."

08:39 And then the rest in black.

08:40 Another night, she wore a shirt that said, "Who's Taylor Swift anyway?

08:44 Ew."

08:45 With "ew" in red.

08:50 And this is of course a reference to the 22 music video, but fans speculated that she

08:54 was using the red letters to spell out Speak Now, Taylor's version.

08:59 As we know, Taylor did end up re-releasing the album, however, it was before the mystery

09:03 of the t-shirts could come to fruition.

09:16 You're not gonna believe some of these moments at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour that went completely

09:21 viral.

09:22 Let me know which of these viral moments surprised you the most.

09:31 There was a time over in Nashville where fans were in for a wild experience, as they faced

09:37 a relentless downpour throughout the entire three and a half hour show.

09:42 Yeah, that's a long time to be standing out there in rain like that.

09:46 The weather was playing some tricks, it caused delays due to lightning.

09:50 However, Taylor Swift was completely undeterred.

09:53 She's like, "No, the show must go on."

09:54 So finally, she graced the stage after 10 p.m. and delivered the complete set.

09:59 And the crowd were waiting.

10:00 They were waiting to see Taylor Swift.

10:07 Taylor had this to say, according to the LA Times, "We also never, ever, ever forget

10:12 rain shows.

10:13 This is something we're all doing together.

10:16 It's such a bonding experience.

10:17 We have this for life, just so you know.

10:20 We're all gonna leave here tonight looking like we've just been whipped through five

10:24 car washes.

10:25 It's fine.

10:27 This is normal."

10:28 Next up, who needs a traditional wedding and marriage ceremony when you can go all out

10:32 like this?

10:33 So guys, check it out.

10:34 This couple took their love to the next level by literally tying the knot at State Farm

10:39 Stadium during Taylor Swift's show.

10:48 Renee Hurtado and Max Beauchemin exchanged vows in front of their bridal party, as well

10:53 as witnesses and fellow fans during a break in Taylor Swift's set.

10:58 What?

10:59 Yeah, amazing guys.

11:01 Talk about making your special day unforgettable.

11:03 Nobody's ever gonna forget this.

11:05 This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and this couple gets to share in that, in this

11:09 special way.

11:10 There was also a viral moment when a heartbroken Nashville fan went to great lengths to catch

11:16 Taylor Swift's The Heiress Tour.

11:19 Unable to snag tickets, he applied to work as a security guard at Nissan Stadium just

11:25 to be a part of the entire Heiress Tour experience.

11:32 There was a viral video that captured this man, Davis Perrigo, and he passionately was

11:36 singing along to Taylor Swift's songs, showcasing the extraordinary lengths that fans would

11:42 go just for a glimpse of their favorite artist, Taylor Swift.

11:50 Davis Perrigo, who worked as an accountant, shared this with News Channel 5 Nashville.

12:01 The next viral moment was when Taylor Swift literally swallowed a bug on stage.

12:07 Like ew guys, bugs man, not for me.

12:11 But apparently this bug was a fly and that made it even more gross because that's like

12:20 pretty much eating a maggot and that's like pretty much eating garbage.

12:24 So yeah, I feel your pain Taylor.

12:27 This all went down while she was captivating her audience and Taylor Swift had a funny

12:31 interruption when she accidentally swallowed a fly on stage.

12:35 She chuckled and coughed and asked the crowd, "Is there any chance you never saw that?"

12:43 But of course, everybody did.

12:45 This next viral moment is something that Taylor Swift does as part of her shows.

12:49 At every concert, Taylor Swift treats her fans to two surprise songs from her extensive

12:55 catalog.

12:56 One on her guitar that she strums and the other on a piano.

13:00 And after this musical treat, she then raises her hands, gracefully swan dives as if disappearing

13:07 beneath the stage.

13:08 And then following the dive, the stage transforms into what appears to be water, revealing Taylor

13:14 Swift swimming in her flowing, colorful dress beneath the massive stage.

13:19 Now this whole experience has become a gift that keeps on giving, generating numerous

13:26 viral videos online.
