Taylor Swift Surprised a Fan by Doing His Viral “Bejeweled” TikTok Dance on the Eras Tour
You know that feeling when you casually and unexpectedly get to add "choreographer for the Eras Tour" to your resume? No? Because that's not a thing that just casually and unexpectedly happens to people in our bleak, sad world? That's a very logical and rational thing for you to think, but it turns out one fan really can call himself an amateur choreographer after the surprise he got during a recent Taylor Swift performance.
That fan is Mikael Arellano, who made waves on Swiftie TikTok last fall when he posted this very simple (but also perfect) bit of "Bejeweled" choreography:
The video promptly and rightly went viral (it's been viewed more than 6.3 million times as of this writing) and spawned a trend, with other Swifties recreating the choreography for their own Bejeweled Era moments.
Among the millions who saw Mikael's video and decided to recreate the dance was Taylor Swift herself, who broke out the move during her performance of "Bejeweled" on the opening night of the Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona. The crowd instantly knew exactly what she was doing and reacted with an appropriate squeal decibel.
As for Mikael, he celebrated the kick off of the tour by posting an encore performance of his viral dance (from home):
Even though he wasn't able to attend opening night of the Eras Tour in person, it took news of the fact that Taylor had done his "Bejeweled" dance on stage essentially no time to make it back to him/take over his TikTok comments and his reaction to this news was amazing:
And when Swift proved she knew exactly where the dance originated and was checking in on its creator after the show by liking that reaction post, he couldn't contain his excitement:
Now, let's all collectively enter our "Starlight" Eras and dream impossible dreams because Taylor Swift is making an Eras Tour side hustle out of helping internet pipe dreams come true, apparently.
