In London, Taylor Swift released a brand-new music video that featured behind-the-scenes photos from her enormous Eras Tour. The three-minute movie played on the giant screens of Wembley Stadium as confetti hit the floor and house lights came on. The spectators that stayed put took a moment to observe. Since it depicts Swift’s “cleaning cart” entrance to the tour and her ability to leap onto the stage, many were left stunned.
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” is Swift’s second song and music video from her 11th era album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Fans refer to it as ICDIWABH. Just prior to the unexpected revelation, the singer and her dancers embraced as a group and then vanished from view.
Released on Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET, the new film features a ton of behind-the-scenes tour footage. Before Swift’s team takes the stage, there is a lengthy team meeting and a time lapse of spectators entering the arena. They pump their fists up and down after fluttering their fingers. Taylor also just shared it on her Instagram stories.
Cut to Swift wearing a tangerine jumpsuit in an under-the-stage camera. The orange-to-pink parachute flaps from the beginning of the play are above her. When a production assistant presses a button, the image cuts to screaming, jumping, and fans. Swift is moved from the diamond section of the stage to the back portion using a mechanical pull, where she changes into her second era, “Fearless.” Two guards cue her to enter.
Although the stage show is visually stunning, months and months of rehearsals precede it. When Swift pulls back the curtain, her dancers and band are rehearsing multiple performances, with their ICDIWABH runs being especially important. Fans get to view every step of the preparation for the highly anticipated Eras Tour production, from the gown designed by Vivienne Westwood to the more laid-back athleisure attire. One even features dancer Kameron Saunders rehearsing his famous line, “one… two… three… four.”
Second piece from “Tortured Poets,” after “Fortnight” starring Post Malone, is ICDIWABH. After Taylor Nation, Swift’s internal marketing team, tweeted, “Behind the curtain of Female Rage: The Musical when, #taylorswift13?” Swifties should have known something unexpected was about to happen. Swift called the Paris, France-based album “Female Rage: The Musical” on her eleventh album.
“We’ve been holding our breath the entire show, and it’s not even over yet,” the account added. 20 minutes before to the finish of the show. Fans who saw Swift perform on Tuesday night might not be able to speak tomorrow because she pulled off many surprises. A guitar mashup of “Death By a Thousand Cuts” and “Getaway Car” was performed by the singer’s buddy Jack Antonoff, who also brought out Florence Welch to perform a brand-new routine to “Florida!!!”
Before coming back to North America on October 18, Swift will take a two-month hiatus.
