Taylor Swift fans hilariously react to mysterious shadowy figure seen watching her Madrid concert from above: ‘It’s Kanye West!’
Taylor Swift fans have hilariously reacted to a mysterious shadowy figure seen watching one of her Madrid concerts from above. When the 34-year-old pop star played the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in the Spanish capital, a dark silhouette was spotted near the top of the stadium.
The unidentified spectator was completely alone, in a part of the sprawling auditorium that was apparently blocked off to the general audience.
Swifties flocked to social media to share their tongue-in-cheek theories about the secret identity of the enigmatic concertgoer. Some joked that it was in fact Kanye West, who has carried on an explosive feud with Taylor for more than a decade.
‘[T]hat was billie eilish who couldn’t afford the ticket,’ vamped one X, formerly Twitter, user, while another quipped that it was Taylor’s ex Joe Alwyn. ‘IM SCARED WTF DELETE,’ exclaimed one Swiftie, while another argued: ‘knowing taylor swift, she’s probably behind this and she’s teasing something’. ‘Aliens watching,’ said one observer, as another wrote: ‘It’s peter pan or peter parker not sure,’ and still another darkly suggested: ‘slenderman.’
One fan sneered that music mogul Scooter Braun, who has fought a years-long legal battle with Taylor over ownership of her masters, is ‘still harassing her i see.’ Quoting a line from Taylor’s new song ‘loml’ — an abbreviation for ‘love of my life’ — from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department, one Swiftie wrote: ‘Dancing phantoms on the terrace.’
