One Taylor Swift fan recently earned the pop star’s nod of approval with his amusing antics – with a little liquid courage – during one of her Eras Tour concerts.
The fan, who’s name is Elliott Norris, shared a video on Instagram on June 5 capturing his progressively “tipsier” state throughout every era of Swift’s set, and it quickly went viral. So viral, in fact, that Swift herself left a comment on the Reel.
Norris’s video begins with him eagerly cheering during the “Lover” segment of the show. As the concert progresses, his excitement turns into forgetfulness during the “Red” era, where he struggles to remember the lyrics. By the time Swift, 34, transitions to the “Reputation” segment, Norris is attempting to twerk enthusiastically with a beer in hand, yelling along to the lyrics.

The video continues with Norris purchasing more drinks for the “Folklore” and “Evermore” parts of the concert, eventually dancing with empty cups during “1989.” At one point, he humorously notes, “My lazy eye is coming out,” before concluding with a heartfelt moment of him singing and seemingly crying along to the “Tortured Poets Department” and noting, “That sh*t was amazing!”
The 14-time Grammy winner stumbled upon the now viral reel, giving Norris her stamp of approval. “This was a whole entire journey 😆,” she commented, which now has thousands of likes. Norris later highlighted Swift’s response on his Instagram Story, humorously asking, “Drinks? @taylorswift,” and adding, “will be staying humble even with all this new fame.”
However, internet fame often comes with its share of negative comments, and Norris’ post was no exception. While some Swifties left nice comments like, “This is everything,” and “I really appreciate all of this,” others weren’t as kind. “You look more into yourself than the actual concert lol,” remarked one fan. Another, who claimed they were actually next to Norris in the crowd, said, “Cute ! Actually my friend and I were next to you the whole show 😍 Can’t tell what my biggest highlight was tho, maybe all the times you pushed us bc you needed space for dancing? Or when you spilled your beer on my dress 😍😍.”
The sarcastic comment has received a few hundred likes, with no response from Norris just yet.
