Taylor Swift’s Dancer Jokes He Was ‘Demure’ During Stage Fall That almost Tripped Boss Lady’ in London Show — Travis Kelce Shows Love!
Kameron Saunders is taking a recent tumble in his stride!
On Saturday, Aug. 17, the dancer, 32, who is currently touring with Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour, joked that he had a “demure” fall after slipping onstage during Swift’s concert in London the previous night — though thankfully he didn’t trip up the singer.
“You see how I didn’t trip boss lady when I ate s— last night?… Veryyyy ✨MINDFUL✨ veryyyy ✨Demure✨😂😂😂😂😂,” Saunders wrote, as he posted a clip of his fall on Instagram. The “demure” and “mindful” comments reference a TikTok trend that is currently going viral after Jools Lebron, a TikTok creator, shared a clip in August that showed how she gets ready for work in a “demure” way.
In his post, Saunders then acknowledged the gracious reactions from fans he received afterward, “I saw all of your kind, ‘he’s such a professional. Jumped right back into the choreography’ comments. I’m fine. Promise. 😂😂😂,” he continued. “Just a bit of an ego check falling in front of 92,000 people! BUT this deserved a laugh. Enjoy! 😂#Mindful.”
In the clip shared of the fall, Saunders first appeared in a freeze frame of him on the floor after his tumble during the The Tortured Poets Department section of the concert as a voiceover said, “You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation…”
The clip then played from the beginning in slow motion as Saunders walked behind Swift, 34, holding a feather fan before slipping on his side onstage. He then quickly got up and hurried ahead of Swift to his position in front of her as more dancers trailed behind him.
Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce — who was not in attendance at her London show on Friday — appeared to share his appreciation for Saunders not tripping up his girlfriend onstage, as he liked the post along with thousands of fans.
Kelce’s latest interaction with Saunders on social media comes after he appeared alongside the dancer as he joined Swift for a surprise cameo onstage during her Eras concert at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 23.
The NFL star got up onstage with Saunders dressed in matching top hats and tailcoats during the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” outfit change as he carried Swift to the onstage couch and helped Kameron freshen her up before closing out The Tortured Poets Department section of the show.
Saunders called the performance a “full circle moment” on Instagram at the time, as he recalled the “countless Chiefs games” he and his family attended in support of his younger brother, Khalen Saunders, who is a former Kansas City Chiefs teammate of Kelce, 34.
“Three of those 4 years he was with the Chiefs we went to the Super Bowl and won twice… ABSOLUTE LEGACY!!! 😮💨” Kameron wrote. “And now for you and I to share the biggest stage in the world with boss lady… full circle!”
Kelce returned the love with a comment on the post, writing, “Kam! The Saunders brothers were already my favorites. From winning super bowls with Sir Bink @khalennotkaylen to having fun bringing Tay back to life on the stage with you the other night…. and even hanging with Mama Saunders, cheering you on in Australia! 🍻 More memories to come!!”
During Swift’s Wembley show on Thursday, Aug. 15, the 14-time Grammy winner surprised concertgoers with a tribute to Kelce as she performed a mashup of “King of My Heart” from reputation and “The Alchemy” from The Tortured Poets Department on the piano for the secret songs segment of her performance, which fans believe to be about the Kansas City Chiefs player.
