MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has been nothing short of a global spectacle, drawing thousands of viewers from across the world.

But thanks to her 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart' music video and a lip reader, fans have now been granted an exclusive peek into her pre-show ritual.

Taylor Swift's pre-show chant has been decoded

The music video, which plays like a mini-documentary of the tour, features backstage clips, roaring crowds, and Taylor Swift pouring her heart out on stage.

But one particular moment caught fans’ attention: her pre-show chant.

A heated debate quickly erupted among Swifties about what she said before she stepped on stage. 



 

Thankfully, TikTok lip reader @tismejackieg cracked the code, revealing the words Swift hypes herself up with before every show: "Okay, let's do this, are you ready? Let's f**k s**t up, f**k it up up up up up up up up up."

Fans were thrilled to finally have the answer

Some were surprised, while others were simply pleased that it was exactly the kind of energy they expected from their favorite superstar.

One fan shared, "Whatever you gotta do to deal with stage anxiety. That never goes away no matter how versed you are in performing. You're naive to think Taylor doesn't cuss. I'm sure if you had Dolly in the right setting, she would flip the script too."

Another wrote, "So what... Kids are going to cuss at some point. It's about the right context and the right time and place. And if you don't cuss, cool. Leave everyone to their business."

"Hope this is featured on one of the vault tracks on rep TV," pointed out someone else. 

As per Tyla reports, a follower commented, "That sounds like a thing she would say."

One stated, "This gonna be my morning chant," and another individual observed, "THANK YOU! I’ve been arguing with people who think they’re singing along with 'Applause' from the pre-show track list and that makes no sense!"

Selena Gomez reveals role Taylor Swift played in new album

Pop stars Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are known to be the best of friends. 

During an interview with iHeardRadio, Gomez revealed how Swift helped her out with her latest album, 'I Said I Love You First'. 

She said, "With Taylor, I value her opinion so much because she’s super honest. So, I always play her—on any of my albums—like the top two. I like to see what she says. And she’s done the same," as per E! News



 

"I would never be like, 'That’s a terrible song,' because she’s so freaking good. But she definitely will say, ‘That one’s okay. But I think that one’s good,'" the former Disney Channel star explained. 

Praising the 'Lover' singer's honesty, Gomez noted, "It’s very helpful is what I’ll say. And I love people who are honest."
