    Taylor Swift trolled as video of her dancing awkwardly goes viral, desi fans compare her to Salman Khan

    Synopsis

    The Grammy winner's dance moves are drawing attention online due to a viral clip showing her swiveling her hips during a concert in Edinburgh earlier this month.

    Taylor Swift or Salman Khan? Fans can’t tell at this point. A video of the pop diva dancing awkwardly at one of her Eras tour concerts has gone viral on social media. The clip of the diva’s stiff dancing was first shared by a TikTok user, who captioned it, “She’s so underrated as a dancer..”

    However, the video spread like wildfire on social media for the wrong reasons, and the Grammy winner was heavily trolled for her ungainly dance moves. Several netizens mocked the diva for not bothering to practice her choreography.

    While the ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ hitmaker seemed at ease as she gyrated to her chartbuster ‘Fearless’. However, netizens had a field day dissecting her lack of finesse as a dancer.


    Netizens React

    Reacting to the video, one X user wrote, “This is how my 8-year-old cousin dances after 2 Dr. Peppers.” Another quipped, “Taylor Swift is Elon Musk for women and I will not be elaborating further.” Another commented, “No Swiftie hate but I do think she dances this awkwardly on purpose to give herself more of a dumb baby vibe instead of a billionaire who is actively draining resources vibe.”


    Desi Fans Have A Deja Vu

    Some Indian Swifties had a sense of deja vu as they watched Swift’s less-than-graceful dance moves. One user pointed out that her lame choreography resembled Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s dance in the song ‘Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai’ from the 2016 blockbuster ‘Sultan’. “This is how Salman Khan dances,” wrote one user. A scathing comment read, “Indian uncles dance better than her.”

    Taylor recently wrapped up her 100th ‘Eras Tour’ performance and announced that the tour will conclude in December. During this tour, she traveled worldwide, performing in South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe.

    In April this year, Taylor released her 11th studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department. She initially launched the first 16 tracks on April 19 and surprised fans by revealing two hours later that it was a double album, adding 15 more songs. The album achieved 300 million streams on Spotify in a single day.
