Swifties are expressing concern after noticing the absence of key performers during her latest Eras Tour concert.
During Swift's performance at Johan Cruijff Stadium in Amsterdam on Thursday, July 4, several backup dancers, including Natalie "Nat" Peterson, were notably missing from certain routines.
Peterson, who typically dances alongside Swift during "So High School" from The Tortured Poets Department era, was replaced by another dancer for Friday's show.
She was also absent from several other segments throughout the concert.
A popular fan account dedicated to the Eras Tour dancers, followed by Peterson herself, addressed her absence on Instagram, citing food poisoning as the reason.
"So Nat left because she has food poisoning but why did Kam and Jan leave??? I need to know," one fan wrote on X on Thursday after the TTPD set.
The account assured Swifties that Peterson is recovering and urged caution against overexertion. "I really hope they're all okay," another worried fan wrote online.
Additionally, Kam Saunders missed performances of "So High School" and two other numbers from TTPD, while Jan Ravnik was absent from several routines despite participating in others as scheduled.
Fans took to social media to express their concern and speculation about the dancers' absences, with some speculating it was due to staging adjustments or to support Peterson. Despite the changes, Swift's performance proceeded smoothly.
The "Fortnight" singer is set to perform two more shows in Amsterdam on Friday, July 5, and Saturday, July 6.
According to Daily Mail UK, over the years, these performers have become like family to Taylor Swift, forming an integral part of her inner circle. They have stood steadfastly by her side, supporting her through intense scrutiny surrounding album launches and other controversies.
This dedicated group has accompanied the songstress throughout the majority of her career, traveling globally to stadiums, stages, and studios.
Even after the stage lights dim, Taylor ensures her team knows their value by spending personal time with them and their families. Her deep gratitude for their unwavering loyalty is reflected in her generous gestures, such as reportedly granting bonuses totaling $55 million during her Eras Tour.
Fans have also taken a liking to them.
