Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour has taken Disney+ by storm, and if social media buzz is any indication, some fans have already streamed it more than a dozen times. The nearly three-and-a-half-hour concert film is a visual and emotional journey through 49 songs representing Swift’s ten musical eras. Captured over three nights in Los Angeles using drones, helicopters, and stage-level cameras, the production shines not only because of Swift but also due to the incredible team that performs alongside her.

While Swift is undeniably the heart of the show, her talented ensemble — from instrumentalists and vocalists to the dynamic group of dancers — brings her vision to life with dazzling precision.

The Rhythm Section: Musicians and Vocalists Who Power the Show

At the core of Swift’s sound on The Eras Tour are six musicians and four vocalists. Leading the band are Mike Meadows and Max Bernstein. Meadows, who has been part of Swift’s team since the Fearless tour over 15 years ago, plays multiple instruments including guitar, cello, harmonica, and keyboards. His long-standing presence is captured during “Love Story” at the 33:12 mark, where Swift affectionately places her arm on his shoulder.

Bernstein, known for his work on guitar, keyboards, and the pedal steel, joined Swift during her Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018. Coming from a family of journalists — with parents Nora Ephron and Carl Bernstein — Bernstein adds star power of his own. He can be seen next to Swift during “Fearless” at 26:12.

Among the vocalists, Kamilah Marshall stands out as both a singer and dance captain. With a background in Broadway hits like Hairspray and The Lion King, Marshall brings theatrical flair to the stage. She appears on the left side of the screen at 28:52 during the “Fearless” segment.

Jeslyn Gorman, who has toured with artists like Nick Jonas and Rita Ora, brings a pop-soul edge to the harmonies. Her spirited performance appears at 32:40. Meanwhile, Eliotte Woodford, a veteran in Swift’s ensemble since 2013, dons the purple “Speak Now” dress in “Look What You Made Me Do” and is visible at 1:07:38, showcasing her power and presence.

Spotlight on Dance: The Heartbeat of The Eras Tour

It’s the dancers, however, who inject the concert with unstoppable energy, interpreting the emotional and thematic shifts of each era through physical storytelling. Led by celebrated choreographer Mandy Moore (not to be confused with the singer), the dance team is co-directed by Amanda Balen and Jeremy Hudson.

Moore, known for choreographing films like La La Land and the recent viral Oscars performance of “I’m Just Ken,” collaborated closely with Swift through a connection via actress Emma Stone. Her fingerprints are on every major dance moment in the show.

Amanda Balen, the dance captain, brings fierce control and style to the stage. Originally from Ontario, Canada, she previously worked with Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Pink. Swift fans can spot her at 14:18 during “The Man.”

Among the most radiant performers is Tori Evans, who commands attention during “Blank Space.” A graduate of the University of Arizona, Evans has shared the stage with Beyoncé, Cardi B, and Maroon 5. At 2:13:45, she hands Swift a glowing club during one of the show’s most striking transitions.

Another standout is Audrey Douglass, whose credits include Lucifer, The Morning Show, and American Horror Story: 1984. Douglass appears at 2:22:52 as the iconic “Lover” house burns, bringing expressive power and grit to the scene. Notably, her sister Hannah danced on Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour, proving talent runs in the family.

Movement with Meaning

From synchronized group choreography to intimate, emotional gestures, the dancers of The Eras Tour serve as extensions of Swift’s lyrics. Each leap, spin, and pose amplifies the themes of love, heartbreak, empowerment, and transformation.

Whether gliding across the stage in “Enchanted” or breaking out high-energy moves during “Bejeweled,” these dancers are more than background performers — they’re an essential part of the tour’s storytelling fabric.

So the next time you hit play on The Eras Tour, keep an eye out for the brilliant dancers and performers who help bring Swift’s world to life. They may not be singing the lyrics, but they’re telling a story of their own — one step at a time.
