Taylor Swift's Secret Hollywood Filming Project Seemingly Revealed

Taylor Swift has seemingly lifted the veil on her secret Hollywood filming project.

As the Eras Tour returned in Paris on May 9, Swifties were surprised with a brand-new section of the concert. Following the release of her acclaimed The Tortured Poets Department album, Swift has added seven new songs to the setlist.

Among the new additions to the massive production was "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," which has seemingly answered a big question that has been on Swifties' minds for a few months.

Back in March, many had speculated that the "Cruel Summer" singer was going to do a surprise performance under the famed Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. A film crew had set up under the California landmark and neighborhood chatter signaled that Swift would be making an appearance to celebrate the debut of her Eras Tour film on Disney+.

However, Swift's appearance was eventually called off, even though the production had still set up camp, TMZ reports. Permits from "Disney + TS" had been plastered around the area, saying that they would be filming "aerial photography" with a "remote control aircraft."

Now, during the new Eras Tour performance of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," some eagle-eyed Taylor Swift fans seem to have figured out what the filming was meant for.

During the song, multiple shots of the Hollywood sign are displayed on the screen behind Swift, showing several different angles of the iconic tourist attraction.

"Thank you to smart swifties now that we got closure on that situation," one fan stated on X, formerly Twitter.

Others praised the new set as one of the best parts of the revamped show, comparing them to other aspects of the tour a year into its run.

"The TTPD set actually has her best visuals and it's a notch above the visuals on her other sets gosh... time to admit I didn't like the Lover visuals coz they looked so kiddish," another fan posted on social media.

The performance looks like something out of a Clara Bow movie, which is fitting as the final track on the record is named after the 1920s film star.

It starts off with Swift being forcibly dressed into a new costume, as she sulks over sad, clown-like music. Going along with the song, she immediately launches into a full-fledged production number, all while singing about her shattered heart and depressed state of mind.

"All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting, "More" / I was grinning like I'm winning, I was hitting my marks / 'Cause I can do it with a broken heart," she sings in the fan-favorite song.

As the number continues, she is joined by her backup dancers, who sport top hats, tuxedos, and canes while performing an old-fashioned musical number straight out of Hollywood.

The song ends the newly-added Tortured Poets Department section of the concert, which was just one of the many changes that were debuted during the Paris re-launch. Other tweaks included cut songs from other eras, new costumes, and a rearranged setlist.
