The Phantom of the Eras Tour: Mysterious Figure Seen at Taylor Swift Concert

Is Taylor Swift's Eras Tour haunted?

Swifties have pointed out a mysterious figure watching over a recent performance in Europe. During the song "Delicate" in the Reputation section of the blockbuster concert, a figure is seen dancing along to the Grammy-winner's vocals. The shadow-like silhouette is standing above the very last row in the stadium, seemingly at risk of falling off the side of the stadium.

The sunset beaming into the venue prevents a clearer vision of the person. However, many speculate that they may be holding a guitar. Perhaps Swift needed some surround-sound acoustics to play to the nosebleeds?

"Yeah I saw it on the stadium both nights. He was keeping all the eyes on us," one Taylor Swift stan account shared.

As the video began to circulate throughout social media, fans of the "Cruel Summer" songstress tried to decode what the figure could possibly be. From security to The Phantom of the Eras Tour, there is no one better than the Swifties to solve a case like this.

"That was Joe Alwyn," one social media user joked on X, formerly Twitter. Another also teased that it could be Karlie Kloss, who is rumored to have had a falling out with Swift after they had been close friends for many years.

"I levitated down your street and up to the stadium rafters I'm sorry," another fan posted, referencing the Tortured Poets Department song, "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me."

One fan called back to the Ticketmaster sale debacle when tickets to the tour first went on sale. While referencing the expensive seats all located in the back of the venue, the social media user humorously posted that this is what you get when "Ticketmaster says 'slight restricted view.'"

"Probably a sniper or some sort of security. They have a full view of everything happening in the stadium," a fan theorized. "Or, it's the phantom of the stadium who plays guitar and loves Taylor."

Another fan joked that it could be Lady Gaga, who famously jumped off the roof of the stadium at the beginning of her Super Bowl halftime performance in 2017.

Swift recently came to Gaga's defense on social media when the "Born This Way" belter used "Down Bad" lyrics to shut down pregnancy rumors. The "All Too Well" hitmaker responded to the A Star Is Born actress' post by saying that she doesn't "owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman" about the "invasive & irresponsible" comments on her body.

While the bewildering figure in the rafters may stay a mystery forever, Swift might actually own some haunted grounds herself. Her Folklore track "The Last Great American Dynasty" seemingly references ghosts being seen around the property of her real-life seaside estate in Rhode Island. In the song, Swift sings: "They say she was seen on occasion / Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea." Some have interpreted the lyrics to be about the spirit of the home's former owner, Rebekah Harkness.
