Who Was the Mysterious Figure Dancing at Taylor Swift’s Madrid Concert?
TAYLOR Swift’s fans were left bewildered by a strange shadowy figure dancing in the rafters at her Madrid concert. A dark silhouette was spotted near the top of the stadium at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in an eerie video shared on TikTok.
The Speculations and Reactions
Fans had plenty of theories about who the figure could be and shared their speculation on X, formerly Twitter. One joked that someone who “didn’t want to pay for a ticket” had “snuck into the stadium.” Others wondered if it was Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, or her rivals Kanye West and Nicki Minaj.
“Knowing Taylor Swift, she’s probably behind this and she’s teasing something,” another claimed. “This is so creepy,” someone else wrote. “Dancing phantoms on the terrace,” one user claimed, quoting a line from her song from her new album, The Tortured Poets Department.
One concertgoer appeared to clear up the rumors, insisting the figure was part of the crew. “It was literally a security man, I was near to that section and he was standing there and checking on us all the time,” they posted.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour
Taylor played in Madrid last Wednesday and Thursday as part of her worldwide Eras tour. From there, she jetted to France, and her next stop is Edinburgh in Scotland. The 161-show tour began in March 2023, in the US and will end on December 8, 2024, in Canada.
The Extravagance Behind the Scenes
The U.S. Sun also revealed she spent $4.3 million on hair, makeup, costumes, and wages for her backup dancers. Insiders are claiming it’s the “largest and most expensive tour” of all time.
The singer has spent $300,000 on “five-star” catering, the U.S. Sun exclusively revealed last week. The Grammy winner dished out $20,000 on paella, $2,500 on cheese, and thousands more on wine for her team of 300 people.
10 makeup artists are working on the European stretch, earning around $65,000 each for three months of work, the source claimed.
One concert-goer claimed the figure was a security man, while others joked that it was her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Some speculated that it could be Taylor’s rivals like Kanye West or Nicki Minaj.
