Taylor Swift Overcomes Dance Insecurity with Choreographer Mandy Moore's Guidance

Taylor Swift overcame longstanding insecurities about her dancing with the help of choreographer Mandy Moore, who worked with her to build confidence and refine her natural movements before the Eras Tour. Moore revealed that Swift had a "bad rap" about her dancing and was "really in her head," so their approach focused on enhancing the way Swift naturally moved rather than forcing a complete overhaul. Moore praised Swift's tenacity, hard work, and clear creative vision, noting that Swift quickly picked up choreography and was very committed. The collaboration helped transform Swift's stage presence, leading to notable dance performances during the Eras Tour and continued choreography work into her latest era. Moore also described her role as a "dance therapist," helping artists overcome vulnerabilities linked to dance, especially when under public scrutiny. Swift herself acknowledged the importance of being well-rehearsed so she could engage playfully with fans without losing focus, despite dance not being her strong suit initially.
