Taylor Swift is clearly enthralled by Dancing with the Stars’ decision to theme an entire week after her extensive and beloved catalog of music.
The pop sensation, 33, shared a special video message for the contestants of the ABC competition ahead of the night’s first celebrity performances.
After an introductory routine from the show’s pro dancers and a message from Mandy Moore, Taylor’s personal choreographer for the Eras Tour and tonight’s guest judge, the singer herself chimed in with a short and sweet clip.
Dressed in her signature Eras bedazzled bodysuit, she gushed: “Hey guys, it’s Taylor. I just wanted to say thank you so much for having this…me themed night on Dancing with the Stars!
“I so wish I could be there to see what you and your amazing choreographers and my friend Mandy Moore have put together, I so wish I could be there!
“But I’m on tour in Brazil. I’m sending you guys all my love, and best of luck to all the contestants!”
