Taylor Swift just revealed the secret behind levitating down the Eras Tour Street!
The 34-year-old sensational pop star has been witnessed by thousands of spectators, levitating across her wildly successful tour’s stage, on a moving platform, a phenomenon, her fan base, the Swifties, have labelled as “TayRoomba.”
Ever since the apparatus made its debut for the Eras Tour in France, on May 9, it has been used for two tracks Swift usually performs, Down Bad and Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? off her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.
After her The Eras Tour Book was released on November 29, her fans were shocked to discover the origins of TayRoomba and how a person from her crew sits inside the “rover” as Swift performs on top of it during the TTPD Era of her show.
“The ‘rover’ platform I travel on is actually operated by a crew member, who lays inside the platform and drives it from inside,” the Lover crooner mentioned on page 159 of her recently launched book.
After the “TayRoomba” made its debut in Paris, the “rover” has now appeared on stage ever since, rising from the stage during the artist’s performance of Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? as she “levitates” and sings:
“I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street, crash the party like a record scratch as I scream, Who’s afraid of little old me? You should be.”
Connecting it to her performance of Down Bad, Swift kneels on the “rover” to metaphorically represent an alien abduction for being love-bombed and then coming back to Earth, symbolizing the reality of abandonment.
“I wanted to create the illusion of an alien abduction, a battle scene, a religious institution, a mental institution, a haunted house, and a showgirl’s dressing room routine,” Swift wrote in her book, adding, “It was ambitious as hell but we pulled it off, creating what I think is the most dramatic, cathartic, female-rage driven part of the night.”
