We’ll just say this – we think something is wrong Taylor Swift‘s Eras tour.
The 14-time Grammy award-winning artist has been on the road since March 2023, and in the meantime, she’s been receiving critical acclaim for her ongoing world tour β in large part due to its impressive length and the way the show seamlessly transitions between segments.
However, you may have noticed that the series has been experiencing some technical issues since Taylor arrived in London last month.
Much of this had to do with the huge backdrop that began to deteriorate during their shows in London and Dublin.
Normally, these kinds of minor glitches wouldn’t make headlines, but Taylor Swift’s notorious for posting sneak peeks at her artwork, music videos, and even live performances has led to speculation that she’s cooking up something else for her fans. There was also a glitch during her show on Saturday night.
Playing his second of three shows in Dublin, Taylor was performing The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived when he noticed the platform he was standing on had not lowered.
Thinking quickly, Taylor’s dancer took action and carried her down from the raised section of the stage as she continued to sing.

Taylor announced her latest studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, earlier this year to mixed reviews, but she’s also in the middle of a project that will see her re-record her first six albums and release them as “Taylor’s Versions,” with her own mastering.
While Fearless, Speak Now, Red and 1989 have all been re-released, recent disruptions have left fans wondering if Taylor is starting to hint at a new version of her sixth album, Reputation.
β¦all these mistakes that have happened so far are currently intentional π€‘

The screen has glitched a few times before and I’ve never messed with it, but the way it’s going in a pattern around the screen makes me think it wasn’t an accident today π³π€‘ https://t.co/9AzDmpSClC

I could have written off 1-2 glitches as just a bug, but the screens have been glitching for WEEKS and have never been like this in previous episodes. The glitches are now so intentional that I’m scared picture.twitter.com/G6u5e43P4Q

Yesterday marked 2,190 days (as in glitch) since taylor’s last night at wembley… tomorrow marks 6 years since taylor’s last night of the reputation tour at wembley… tonight she sang rap-coded surprise songs… π€‘

All of this is done on purpose. reputation is sabotaging the tour!

what if taylor is making these glitches to announce that there will be a screen glitch on rep tv and wants us not to expect it because the screens are regularly glitched

Because there’s no way a billion dollar tour run by perfectionist taylor swift could have so many mistakes all the time
β em (@claremontdiaz) June 30, 2024
if the glitch is intentional then @taylornation13 Would you agree? Remember all the disruptions that happened on Grammy night right before the TTPD announcement?

Taylor Swift is actually the mastermind. No one will complain about technical issues because they’re too busy wondering if it’s an intentional glitch ππ

I know Taylor is happy to have crazy fans because they will never think “oh the screen is broken π the scene is broken :(” they will always think it’s a secret code to something picture.twitter.com/yoPnupJhwe

I’m starting to think that all the scene glitches were really unintentional because there really were a lot of scene glitches today π I don’t know, I could be wrong but I wouldn’t take that as a reason to clown around (but if you want to explain your theories to me and prove me wrong I’d love to hear them π) π«ΆπΌβ¨
β Eras Tour (@tswifterastour) June 22, 2024
Taylor will take her Eras tour to more parts of Europe, with concerts planned in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland and Austria in the coming weeks.
The artist, who attracted huge interest with her first three concerts in the capital last month, will return to London for a further five nights of sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium in August.
