The internet is abuzz with a viral video claiming that pop icon Taylor Swift may have…well, let out an unexpected sound during her recent Eras Tour performance.
The clip, which has garnered millions of views, shows Swift belting out a song when a distinct, muffled “toot” sound cuts through the music.
Naturally, the internet has erupted in debate. Some fans, convinced by the timing and the sound itself, are convinced it’s a case of “caught on a hot mic.”
However, others remain skeptical. Here are some counter-arguments:
Some point out that microphone malfunctions or soundboard hiccups can create similar noises.
Fans familiar with stage setups argue that Taylor’s usual microphone position wouldn’t capture a sound like this.
Swift’s Demeanor: The video shows no reaction from Swift, which wouldn’t be likely if she’d actually passed gas on stage.
As of now, Taylor Swift hasn’t addressed the video or the online chatter. This is unsurprising, as she’s known to be private about her personal life.
Regardless of the truth, the video has become a source of unexpected amusement for many. Here are some of the funnier comments:
“This would actually be entertaining, has to be fake.” – Capt. Hot Take (@CaptHotTake)
“Power move.” – anyone but Garrett, the quantum supremacist (@tonguesmyanus)
“Not possible. girls don’t fart.” – ☉Monad (@alivingfire) (This comment, while humorous, is of course not true!)
The Verdict?
Whether it’s a real fart or a technological fluke, the “Taylor Swift Fart” video has captured the internet’s attention. It serves as a reminder that even the most polished pop stars are human, and sometimes, unexpected things happen on stage.
One thing’s for sure: Taylor Swift will continue to be a cultural icon, farts or not.
