Title: Choreographer Mandy Moore Talks Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and DWTS Taylor Night
Choreographer Mandy Moore recently spoke about her experience working on Taylor Swift's Eras tour and her thoughts on the pop star's appearance on Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) Taylor night. Moore, who has previously worked with DWTS, expressed her excitement about being back in the ballroom after collaborating with Swift on her latest tour.
"It's a trip for me because obviously I've spent so much time here on this show. And then having come fresh off the Eras tour and Taylor, and then to have these two worlds colliding, I was like, 'I'm having a mind melt right now. But it's so much fun to be back," Moore shared.
Reflecting on her involvement with Swift's Eras tour, Moore revealed her initial surprise when approached for the project. "Well, first of all, you're like, are you, what? Taylor Swift wants me? But you know, at first, I was like, wow, you know, that was a huge honor first and foremost. But, you know, it's like, I appreciate Taylor for so many reasons," she said.
Moore praised Swift's work ethic and dedication to delivering an exceptional performance for her fans. "I love that she is a hard worker, she cares so much about what she's doing, she wants the fans to have the best show possible, and she stops at nothing to get that done. And I appreciate it because I like to work hard too, and we are really alike. We had a really good working relationship; it was awesome."
The choreographer also shared insights into the collaboration process, highlighting the simplicity and clarity Swift brought to the table. "It honestly was a very simple process. You talk about what you're going to do, she has ideas, and then you put it up on its feet. She's really clear about what she wants to do and how she wants to move, and I just think the world of her. It was really a lovely experience."
During DWTS Taylor night, Swift appeared in a pre-taped message projected on the massive screen above the ballroom, expressing her gratitude for the thematically dedicated episode. Moore was among the panel of judges who watched Swift's message.
Moore also showed support for Swift's romance with Kansas Chiefs football star Travis Kelce. "It's awesome. You care about people, and you want them to have the kind of life they want to have, and I just, she's a real gem. So I'm excited she's happy," Moore commented.
Fans of both Taylor Swift and DWTS were elated to see these two worlds colliding, as Moore shared her insights into working with the pop star on her Eras tour. Swift's dedication to her craft and passion for delivering an exceptional show allowed for a successful collaboration between the two talented individuals.
