Swifties weren’t “…Ready For It?” when Taylor Swift received more backlash for another video of her dancing on stage. The fan-recorded clip showed Swift performing the “Reputation” track, “…Ready For It?” during one of her Eras Tour stops. The musician was attempting to hit the choreography, but completely missed the mark. She waved one arm back and forth in front of her body before moving her hips awkwardly around. She then bounced from one foot to another before putting her hand on her knee and pushing her butt out to move it from one side to the other.
The video of Swift performing eventually hit the internet after a Swiftie captioned the performance, “Put her in a cage against Michael Jackson and she’ll come out as winner bc she really knows how to DANCE.” Whether the Swiftie was joking or not, it opened another wave of criticism from those who can’t stand the singer’s dance moves.
One person on X (via Reddit) compared Swift’s dance moves to that of a toddler, writing, “She dance like a 2 year old with a full diaper.” Others were left in disbelief that one would even compare Swift’s moves to Michael Jackson. A Reddit user shared, “Calling Taylor swift a better dancer than Michael Jackson is just plain disrespectful, I’m not saying she’s a bad dancer or anything but whereas Michael is known as a dancer, it’s kind of just something Taylor does during her performances.”
