When the 34-year-old “So High School” singer performed the first of her three sold-out Eras Tour shows in Gelsenkirchen, a mid-sized city in western Germany just north of Cologne.
During the performance, fans noticed a humorous exchange between Swift and one of her dancers on stage.
When the singer begins her rendition of “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart,” her dancer, crowd favorite Kam Saunders, enthusiastically hypes her up. He assists her into a sparkly jacket and even waves to the crowd to boost their cheers.
In Wednesday’s show, as the dancer waved Swift’s arms in a bit, Taylor’s sourpuss mug cracked into a half-smile, stifling a laugh. Thanks to a fan video on X (formerly Twitter), fans have proof of Taylor’s adorable gaffe.
However, Swift managed to regain composure, seamlessly transitioning into the track from The Tortured Poets Department with perfect timing.

Of course, Swifites around the globe were thrilled to see their idol’s apparent joy during her Eras Tour character break. Many fans thought her character break was simply due to the unbridled happiness she’s enjoying at this stage of her life.
“It’s harder now for her to stay in broken character when she’s full of so much wild joy,” one fan wrote on X about the footage. “What if she’s starting to laugh now (“break character”) because she started getting happy during the tour? I.e. time with friends & Travis and NFL fun?”, a second fan added.
“I liked how she yawned into her hand just in case she broke character,” a third fan observed.
Others gushed over Kam sending Taylor into a fit of giggles. “Imagine working with sweet Kam,” one fan wrote. “Did she crack when Kam was making her sign in the air?”, a pleased fan wondered, adding laughing emojis.
Meanwhile, another fan’s day was made simply by seeing the billionaire pop queen chuckle. “Stifling a giggle at 0:17 is EVERYTHING,” they gushed.
At the show, her boyfriend, NFL superstar Travis Kelce, attended his 13th Eras Tour concert. He was seen in a private suite before returning to the Chiefs training camp on July 19.
Taylor is scheduled for two more performances in Gelsenkirchen on July 18 and 19. After that, she will bring her show to her next German stop: Hamburg.
