    Taylor Swift dancer belts out Irish insult with 'spot on' accent during final Eras Tour show in Dublin

    Taylor Swift 's chief dancer has rounded off the singer's sell-out gigs in Dublin by delivering one more Irish phrase during one of the most-anticipated songs of the night - and this time it was a hilariously Irish insult.

    Kameron Saunders is the only dancer who has a speaking line during the Eras Tour and has become something of celebrity in his own right. His phrase, "like ever," and its versions in multiple languages, including Irish , at the end of Swift’s bridge when she sings We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together has become iconic across the world.

    On Friday, the top choreographer delivered a hilarious Irish phrase , 'pog mo thoin,' which cheekily means 'kiss my a**' and on Saturday he roared out " the neck of ye !" which is said when someone is being particularly bold or brazen.

    On the last of three nights in the Irish capital , Saunders tickled fans at the Aviva Stadium by exclaiming "ye bleedin' egit!" - a typically Irish way of calling someone stupid or an idiot.

    Being called an 'eejit' in Ireland isn't the most offensive thing in the world. Friends use the term jokingly toward each other, but if said in the right tone, it can sting.

    The colloquialism sparked thunderous cheers from thousands of Swifties, all of whom had packed into the massive venue to bid farewell to the American superstar .

    Social media also erupted. One fan wrote on X: "The accent is so spot on as well," while a second wrote: "Omg this is amazing." A third said: "Wow I want to be there," and a fourth added: "Kam is the funniest. I love him."
