Taylor Swift’s fans have noticed a change in the pop star’s performances during her Eras Tour.
Many eagle-eyed fans noticed that Taylor Swift stopped touching one of her male dancers on the chest during The Eras Tour and thought they knew why the sudden change had happened.
The Anti-Hero singer has a very strict routine for every song that she sticks to, but it appears a penalty flag has been thrown and fans are speculating that change may have been influenced by her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift revealed in an interview with Time she first started dating Kelce in July after he attended one of her concerts then spoke about it on his podcast with his brother and Philadelphia Eagles player, Jason Kelce.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she said. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for because we got to get to know each other.”
They made their public appearance when she showed up at Arrowhead Stadium in September.
“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game?” Swift told the publication. “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
Swift’s eagle-eyed fans questioned if the romance coincided with the singer-songwriter no longer touching the bare chest of one of her dancers while performing her hit “Lavender Haze.”

In previous performances, Swift has been seen briefly placing her hand on the dancer’s chest while singing the lyrics, “Get it off your chest / Get it off my desk.”
Other fans pointed out Swift having no contact with her dancer earlier in the year, with one fan saying that she “didn’t touch him [at the] beginning of June [in] Detroit.
TAY TAY WHAT IS THIS BEHAVIOR 🤨

Mid July I think. I saw that he told her he was uncomfortable with it since fans were making it a big thing and so she stopped doing it. I don’t remember where I saw it😭

another thing that I noticed is that when she’s about to sit on the chair in Vigilante Shit, the shot changes and we never get to see her do that 🤔 censored

Swift split from actor Joe Alwyn, her boyfriend of six years, in April. Although she was spotted hanging out with The 1975 singer Matty Healy in May, their brief relationship wouldn’t last long.
Swift’s Eras Tour recently broke the Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing tour of all time after crossing the $1 billion mark earlier this month.
