Taylor Swift shocked her fans at a recent concert when she 'dived' off the stage in a dramatic moment.
Check it out here:
The 'Anti Hero' singer had just kicked off her long awaited Eras Tour, which marked her first time heading a concert tour since 2018.

Performing in Glendale, Arizona, Taylor dazzled Swifties with a whopping 44 songs, including hits like 'Love Story', 'You Need To Calm Down' and 'We Are Never Getting Back Together'.
But, I don't think anyone expected her to literally jump into a hole.
After she finished singing 'Tim McGraw' from her 2006 debut album, Taylor turns away from her piano and walks towards the centre of the stage near to a catwalk.
Wearing a long crimson gown, Taylor then takes a dive into a hole in the middle of the stage, which lead to gasps and screams from shocked fans.
Talk about a dramatic exit.
The stage then lights up and fans were treated to a visual image of Taylor swimming beneath the stage.
Her image could be seen emerging from the water and climbing up into the clouds, as dancers appeared on stage carrying cloud props.
And this was all in the name of transitioning to the next song on the set list - 'Lavender Haze'.
'Lavender Haze' was Taylor's latest single and appeared on her most recent album Midnights.
To match the colour palette of the song, the musician returned to the stage wearing a purple furry coat.
And fans were amazed by her theatrical display.
TikTok user @awkwatree shared a clip of the dive to the platform, writing: "The most impressive thing from Taylor Swift's #theeratour night one was when she lept into a hole in the ground. [sic]"
And other Swifties were in full agreement, with one fan writing: "OH SHE PUTTING ON A SHOW."
Another fan joked: "I can't believe she held her breath under water for that long!"
A third added: "I WANT TO SEE WHAT SHE JUMPED INTO," while a fourth said: "she really said headfirst, fearless."
Someone else wrote: "I love that this is specifically oriented for people in the higher seats to get the best view, so cool."
While another viewer replied: "Okay I need to see a behind the scenes!!! What did she jump in to?!?!"
And it turns out that this isn't the first time Taylor has pulled this stunt before, as she revealed to People during her 2018 Reputation tour that she uses a rocket sled to get from one end of the stage to another.
The singer is currently set to perform 52 shows in the US, however, international dates have not yet been announced.
