Taylor Swift has been hiding in a janitor’s cart to arrive on stage at Eras tour

Taylor Swift has cleverly avoided attention during her latest tour by being transported to stage inside a janitor’s cart, new video footage reveals.

Proof of the ingenious ruse comes courtesy of a TikTok user who shared footage from Swift’s Eras Tour show at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, last Sunday (April 2).

The fan had purchased “obstructed view” tickets for the gig, which meant they were able to see a portion of the area behind the stage. While such a view might usually be considered a disadvantage, TikTok user Shay was able to film the moment that roadies wheeled out a cabinet filled with mops and brooms, before Swift eventually emerged and walked onto the stage.

The elaborate get-up means Swift is able to be transported through the crowd while avoiding attention from ardent fans. She has previous form for this kind of thing too, having previously hid inside a giant suitcase to avoid paparazzi while being taken from her hotel to the car.

Similarly, Adele was hidden inside an oversized flight case in order to be transported to a stage in the middle of the crowd on her ’25’ tour, while Ed Sheeran has said he is using a similar unspecified technique on his current tour.

Swift’s Eras tour kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, last month with a critically acclaimed, sprawling three-hour run through her career.
