Taylor Swift gave fans a look at the secrets behind The Eras Tour in the new music video for I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.
The 13-time Grammy Award-winner, 34, dropped the video on Tuesday to mark the release of her latest single, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.
It featured behind-the-scenes footage of Swift rehearsing for the epic tour that's already raked in over $1billion in ticket sales.
After it was revealed that she arrives at her shows in a cleaning cart in order to evade detection, the singer gave fans a look inside the specially made boxes.
The cart was adapted to feature strip lighting, a mirror and a stool, with Taylor seen beaming as she clambered inside.
More footage showed the star larking around underneath the stage in her bedazzled bodysuit as she prepared to pop up and perform.
Much of the nearly four-minute clip showed her practicing choreography for the Eras Tour performance of I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.
Fans hoped Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34, would make a cameo in the BTS footage as he famously joined her on stage for the song at her London show in June.
The NFL star was in full costume in a black suit and top hat for the surprise appearance on June 22 as he carried Swift in his arms while she sang for the massive crowd at Wembley Stadium.
But Kelce was nowhere to be found in Swift's I Can Do It With A Broken Heart video as she, instead, spotlighted her incredible tour crew.
The video begins with a time lapse of thousands of fans pouring into one of the many sold-out venues Swift has performed in since she began touring in March 2023.
Next, the acclaimed singer-songwriter is seen partaking in a pre-show huddle with her dancers, backup singers, band and tour management before heading to stage.
An excited looking Swift crawls under the stage in preparation for her grand entrance at the top of the show, which sees her rise up from the floor.
The video then gives fans a look at the varying degrees of rehearsals Swift and her team endure before delivering the final product to concertgoers.
They kick it off by going over choreography in a near-empty warehouse before slipping into costumes and running through tech rehearsals — which tests the lighting cues, Swift's mic, song transitions, etc.
Fans were thrilled to see behind-the-scenes of the Eras Tour as they flocked to social media to react to Swift's new video.
They especially loved seeing the crew that helps bring the concert to life.
Some speculated that the music video was a hint that Swift plans to release an Eras Tour documentary in the future.
Last October, the billionaire released an Eras Tour concert film in theaters that made more than $261.6 million at the worldwide box office.
But the film was a play-by-play of the three-hour concert, not a behind-the-scenes documentary.
Last month, Swift confirmed that I Can Do It With A Broken Heart would be the second single off her acclaimed new album, The Tortured Poets Department, which was released on April 19.
The news was confirmed by Swift's official fan club, Taylor Nation, on July 16.
'We're so depressed we act like it's #ICanDoItWithABrokenHeart's birthday every day! But today is special because Taylor's declaring it the next single from #TSTTPD!' the Instagram post read.
They also included the cover art for the new single, which was a black-and-white still image of Taylor performing on the Eras Tour.
When Swift released TTPD in April, the song Fortnight featuring Post Malone served as the lead single.
Swift also released an accompanying high-budget music video.
On Tuesday, Swift wrapped her final London concert at Wembley Stadium and will now enjoy a months-long break from tour.
She will resume tour in November with her final shows in North America.
The Eras Tour kicked off in March 2023 and is now the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.
Amid the tour, Swift fell in love with NFL star Kelce, who she secretly began dating in August 2023 after he tried to link up with her at her Kansas City concert that July.
The couple have been going strong since confirming their romance in September 2023.
Last month, a source told PEOPLE that Swift and Kelce are 'really are very, very happy together.
'They're very serious about each other, and the relationship feels different for both of them.'
The source close to the couple also said that they 'have so much fun together.'
'It's funny to their friends because at first everyone wondered what they had in common, but you realize how similar they are,' the insider added.
'They both wear their hearts on their sleeves and are all-in with everything they do, whether it's with career, family or friends.'
Earlier this month, Page Six claimed that the couple were 'getting engaged soon.'
The outlet reported that the wife of a top Chiefs executive was overheard telling her friends that Kelce and Swift were already engaged in a suite at a Morgan Wallen concert in Kansas City on Thursday.
It is unclear if she accidentally slipped up about a secret betrothal or if she was just repeating rumors.
However, a representative for Kelce denied any official engagement plans in a statement to the outlet.
