A recently resurfaced 2022 video showing Taylor Swift practising dance moves with Dita Von Teese has sparked mixed reactions online.
Released on Swift’s official YouTube channel on December 13, the footage captures her attempt to master Von Teese’s iconic “Martini Glass” dance for the “Bejeweled” music video from her double-platinum album “Midnights.” While the collaboration promised excitement, the behind-the-scenes video also revealed a humorous mishap.
In a key moment, as Von Teese instructs Swift to remove a stocking elegantly, the garment snags on Swift’s foot, leading to an unintended snag. Visibly flustered, Swift exclaims, “I f-ckin’ ruined them,” immediately apologizing, “I’m so sorry.” While some fans found this moment endearing, others were surprised by her profanity.
Shared by an account named glamilyofficial on December 18, this clip has polarized viewers. Due to her language, some have questioned Swift’s appropriateness as a role model for younger audiences. Others have critiqued her seductive prowess, with comments about her lacking sex appeal despite her extensive performance background.
