Pop icon Taylor Swift Paris Eras Tour Concert Footage Shows the Moment She Passed Out During show on stage
The concertgoer was overcome by one of the pop star’s surprise songs.
In a short video that TikToker Sophie shared online, the Swiftie provided a hint at what the footage portrayed in a text overlay: “pov: taylor’s surprise song slayed too hard and you fainted.”
The 12-second TikTok began with a view of the “Lover” songstress sitting at her piano onstage. She played a few notes before singing the opening lyric of “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” one of the 31 tracks included on her new double album The Tortured Poets Department.
As Swift sang the lyric, the camera angle shifted, turning away from the stage and losing focus as it began shaking. Someone nearby could then be heard calling for help while Sophie fainted.
The video captured “the humble moment of being carried over the barricade,” according to Sophie’s TikTok caption. She later assured people who left comments on the post that she was “alive 😋.”
One person who appeared to have been with Sophie during her fainting spell shared their own point of view from the moment captured on video: “pov the security guards suddenly werent there 🤣 🤣.”
Sophie responded, telling the person who commented that they had been her very own “security guard.”
While Swift’s fans mostly know what to expect from her Eras Tour performances, the pop star did recently introduce a new “era” to her shows by incorporating songs from The Tortured Poets Department, which she released on April 19. Her four shows in Paris provided fans with the first time they have heard Swift perform the songs from the new album in a live setting.
