Before attending the football game, the “Don’t Blame Me” singer took to Instagram to share a beautiful post about reaching the end of “The Eras Tour” US shows. This comes after she completed her concerts in Indianapolis where Travis was reportedly seen dancing with Taylor’s mom in the VIP tent at one of the shows.
She posted 16 images displaying different moments of her performing on stage. From belting out her songs into a microphone and strutting around the lit-up stage to sharing playful moments with the audience, Taylor’s photos gave her followers glimpses of how electric her tour has been thus far.
After spotlighting the 207,000 “beautiful people” who came out to see her in Indianapolis, Taylor penned, “I know I’ll be looking back on this weekend and smiling because it was just like a dreamscape, all of it. Thank you to everyone who came out to see us on our last 3 American shows!!”
Her caption went on to note, “There are only 9 shows left on ‘The Eras Tour.’ I can’t believe we’re in single digits […] Next up: getting to finally see my beloved Canadian fans again!! See you 🔜 for 6 shows in Toronto!”
Following the publication of her Instagram post, Taylor Swift attended the Chiefs vs Buccaneers Game, where she was not only criticized for her hair but also her bold outfit and how it accentuated her legs.
