Taylor Swiftis adding long-distance swimming to her long list of new skills.
While kicking off her Eras Tour over the weekend in Glendale, Arizona, the Grammy winner, 33, surprised concertgoers when she dove into the stage during one of her musical sequences, disappearing into the floor.
Viewers captured the moment, sharing videos of the special effect on social media.
In the clips, Swift — wearing a floor-length, ruffled dress — dives into a square-shaped hole on stage. After the dive, graphics on the stage show Swift swimming underwater back toward the main stage.
The sequence ends with Swift disappearing underwater as a huge wave splashes over the large screen, sending ripples throughout the stage. Once the wave dissipates, the “Lavender Haze” singer magically appears in a new outfit on the screen, climbing her way up a ladder to the clouds.
Fans have been sharing their praise for the “creative” moment online,one personcommenting on Twitter, “that’s a special effect genius” andanothercomplimenting Swift on the “great transition” into herMidnightsera.
