Contemporary female singers are expected to deliver much more than they did just a few years ago. For men on stage, in most cases, it's enough if they come out and sing well. An example of such an artist is Ed Sheeran, who can captivate the audience without dancers, elaborate choreography, or frequent costume changes. His vocals and guitar provide all the magic. Female singers, however, go to great lengths to add "something extra." This includes costumes, dancing, and stage accessories. For them, often just singing is considered insufficient to put on a show.
Can't Taylor Swift dance?
The artist's concert tour is a well-thought-out spectacle where every element matters. Fans praise Swift's vocal abilities, numerous outfits, and charismatic dancers. Taylor herself also dances during many songs, which has not been well-received by everyone.
A recording from one artist's recent concerts has gone viral on social media. Taylor Swift is wearing a gold dress richly adorned with fringes. In the background, the song "You Belong with Me" is playing. The video shows the singer performing specific moves she seems happy with. The person filming captured a moment when Swift briefly stuck out her tongue, which many commentators interpreted as a form of self-satisfaction. But was there anything to marvel about?
Taylor Swift's dance sparked a flood of comments
The "The Eras Tour" recording didn't appeal to everyone. Critics compare Taylor Swift's dance to the antics of an eight-year-old who has drunk two cans of Dr. Pepper. One commenting man asked if people are spending money to see "that." A female internet user added that she looks like that when she tries to dry off after a shower if she forgets her towel. Some wonder why Taylor Swift doesn't hire a dance teacher to help her master the steps and develop choreography that would garner only positive comments.
Despite the flood of hate and laughter, Taylor Swift fans continue to defend the artist. They emphasize that the singer is the most underappreciated in the world and that her dance routine was fun and adorable.
