Exclusive:She’s after an olympic medal now!’: Taylor Swift leaves fans in awe as she DIVES head first into the stage and ‘swims’ during the first performances of her Eras tour

She kicked off her long-awaited Eras tour over the weekend in Arizona.

And it wasn’t just Taylor Swift’s lengthy 44-song set that had fans talking, as the star certainly brought the theatrics to the show.

The Anti-Hero singer, 33, takes a pool-like dive head-first off of the stage during one performance, exiting through a gap in the floor.

Disappearing in the most extravagant way, Taylor left fans in the audience in awe as they watched the stunt unfold – with many taking to social media to share their shock.

One fan even jested that the multi award-winning star was now hoping for an ‘olympic medal’ as they tweeted about the moment.

She’s after an olympic medal now!’: Taylor Swift left fans in awe this weekend as she took a dive head first into the stage and ‘swam’ during the first performances of her Eras tour.

Taylor performed in Arizona on Friday and Saturday for the first two performances of the tour – with many audience members catching the dive on camera.

Donning a flowing dress, the country-turned-pop star can be seen walking towards a rectangular gap that opened up in the stage.

She then raises her hands in the air and gets into a proper diving form, before making the structured jump through the stage.

As she makes the dive, a splash sound effect comes over the stadium while a graphic of her swimming underneath the stage then projects onto the ground, before she reappears back to sing songs from her Midnights album.

Taking to Twitter to debrief over the unexpected moment, one shocked fan wrote: ‘EXCUSE ME TAYLOR SWIFT JUST DID A DIVE HEAD FIRST INTO THE STAGE WHAT’.

While another joked: ‘Aside from being a 12-time Grammy winner, a doctor, a director, one of the most acclaimed songwriters of the music industry, and having a record breaking career in the arts, Taylor Swift is now searching for that swimming Olympic medal, look at that dive’.

‘The dive was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen, I was so caught off guard LMAO,’ shared another.

Taylor’s much-anticipated tour hasn’t yet released the international dates, but will wrap up the US on August 9 in Los Angeles.
