Taylor Swift offers an exclusive backstage glimpse into her Eras Tour in the music video for 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart'.
Rather than following the typical format for a music video, Swift decided to compile a montage of behind-the-scenes clips from her performances and rehearsals for the track, found on her newest album "The Tortured Poets Department," released in April.
The video showcases a substantial amount of footage of Swift and her team rehearsing the "Tortured Poets" segment, which was added to her setlist in May.
The montage begins with a time-lapse of fans entering an empty stadium, accompanied by footage of Swift maneuvering her stage and hitting her marks during various segments of the more than three-hour-long concert.
And let's not forget the iconic footage of Swift making her stage entrance using the infamous cleaning cart, a sight that Swifties have long pondered as the secret to her appearance before every show.
It's fitting that her tour footage was utilized to depict this song, which delves into the struggle of entertaining thousands while dealing with personal challenges offstage.
She sings, "I'm so depressed, I act like it's my birthday every day," while the video plays out against a dynamic backdrop of lively backup dancers and cheerful instrumentation.
The video premiered on Tuesday, shortly after Swift completed the last of five shows at London's Wembley Stadium, signaling the end of the tour's European leg, known as the Eras Tour.
As a surprise, Florence Welch appeared on stage to join Swift for a performance of "Florida!!!," and Swift's regular collaborator, producer Jack Antonoff, teamed up with her for a duet during the acoustic set.
Swift has a break before resuming the final North American leg of her tour in Miami on October 18.
The behind-the-scenes footage in Swift's unique music video offers a glimpse into the entertaining process of rehearsals and performances. Despite her struggles offstage, Swift's energetic performances in the video are a testament to her ability to entertain thousands.
