After so much anticipation, The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift’s most successful worldwide tour to date, has resumed in Europe, and the surprise (though already expected by everyone) was that the songs from The Tortured Poets Department will be part of the upcoming concerts.
Through social media, we have already learned that the continuation of The Eras Tour has made certain changes. An example of this is that in tonight’s concert in Paris, the eras of ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’ were mixed for the first time, something that had never happened before, and it seems that in the upcoming concerts there will be other changes that will forever alter the way we knew this tour, which, by the way, ends on December 8 of this 2024.
Taylor Swift’s song ‘Down Bad’ talks about an alien abduction, and The Eras Tour 2024 has confirmed it.
As strange as it may seem, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ contains a song that talks about an extraterrestrial abduction, and it’s because different parts of Taylor Swift’s ‘Down Bad’ literally say:
Did you really beam me up?
In a cloud of sparkling dust
Just to do experiments on
Tell me I was the chosen one
Show me that this world is bigger than us
Then sent me back where I came from
For a moment I knew cosmic love
And yes, we know this may seem circumstantial, but shortly after, we hear this verse that ultimately depicts what actually happens in the song: “They’ll say I’m nuts if I talk about the existence of you
For a moment I was heaven struck,” and “Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up.” Finally, the song speaks about a close encounter of the third kind, an expression commonly used to refer to contact between humans and extraterrestrials.

The lyrics of ‘Down Bad’ refer to a love so strong that it seems almost unreal and leads the protagonist to new worlds and makes her feel things never before experienced. However, the theory of abduction was confirmed by Taylor Swift herself through the concerts of her new tour, as in this musical theme, an extraterrestrial craft can be seen flying over the stage.
Who would imagine Taylor could make a love song about an alien abduction? We do, actually.
