After a long wait of 5 years, Taylor Swift is back on stage, and boy what a show she had. Performing for a 70,000-strong crowd at the State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona, she gave it everything for the fans. Fans did not disappoint either. Many traveled a great distance to get tickets worth $5,000 in retail fees after Ticketmaster crashed multiple times owing to the overwhelming website traffic. However, it was the number of songs she performed in a single night that got Lewis Hamilton fans going berserk once again, concocting wild theories about the two heartthrobs.
Yes, you read that right, ‘once again’. Hamilton fans caused a huge uproar last year when Taylor dropped her new album “Midnights” last year. The run-time of all songs combined came to 44 minutes and that was enough to send them into a frenzy. In fact, it was Mercedes who started the fire posting a faux album cover with Lewis and George’s photos on it and writing, “We love Midnights too. All 44 minutes of it” in the captions. Later, Ferrari joined them in the comments as well.

Taylor started off with Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince from her 2019 album Lover. She then moved on to Cruel Summer, a song the crowd chorused along with her. It wasn’t until 44 songs that she called the show and that number is what has once again got Hamilton fans cooking up stories about the two.
One fan believes it was a sign that XNDA, Lewis’ musical alter ego, was soon going to join her on the Eras Tour.

The last time Lewis performed as XNDA was with Christina Aguilera for a song called Pipe. For a long time, he refused to admit that it was actually him despite fans almost instantly recognizing his voice. After almost two years, when he did admit that it was in fact him in the song, he confessed that he was nervous about whether fans would accept him. It was only after the song did well that he came out clean.
