'Eras Tour' chants: What to know before you go
USA TODAY rounded up all of the special dances, chants and outfits to bring out during the Eras tour. Some of the most popular are:
'Delicate' chant
At the start of " Delicate ," right after Swift sings "We can't make any promises now can we, babe? But you can make me a drink," fans have taken to yelling: "One, two, three, let's go b----!" The chant was popularized after a viral vine.
'Bad Blood' chant
In 2015, Swift came out with a remix to her hit song "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar . During the concert, fans repeat a line of Lamar's part during the bridge.
In the "Anti-Hero" remix with Bleachers' frontman Jack Antonoff, he sings "Taylor, you'll be fine" after Swift sings "Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman?" in the second pre-chorus.
Fans are singing Antonoff's "Taylor, you'll be fine" at the same spot during the concert.
'Bejeweled' dance
A dance move created and made popular by TikTok user @mikael.arellano made its way into Swift's choreography. During "Bejeweled," when Swift sings the word "shimmer," flutter your fingers out in front of you.
