Taylor Swift fans have known the pop star was adept at hiding, especially after Zayn Malik told British Vogue she would avoid the paparazzi by traveling in a suitcase back in 2018. When the North America leg of her Eras Tour started in mid-March, fans began to speculate how the singer was getting across stadiums unseen. After spotting a cleaning cart that carried no brooms or mops, they speculated that had to be Swift's mode of transportation.

The theory was confirmed yesterday when a 37-second TikTok posted by user @shaydanazifpour went viral. The clip follows a large, black janitor cart being pushed by two crew members. Towards the end of the video, one of the staff opens the door and Swift walks out and onto the stage.

Watch the video below.

Swift's Eras Tour hasn't gone without controversy. On Monday, her team issued a statement about the merch's ink quality after complaints about fading. Last December, fans sued Ticketmaster for “fraud, price-fixing, and antitrust violations" after the public sale had been canceled to "extraordinarily high demands" the month prior. The chaos led to a senate judiciary hearing where senators quoted Taylor Swift lyrics to assail representatives of Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
